| The air was tense.
Zane watched as Bianca turned away, her silhouette reflecting nothing but her sharpness and distance.
He also felt her detachment.
"I don't want to be involved with you any further, so please leave," Bianca said in a slightly softened tone.
However, it also seemed tinged with a hint of desolation.
Seeing Bianca like this, Zane moved his lips as if to explain something, but he also knew that Bianca wouldn't listen to anything now.
The time she spent by Malcolm's side in Simeria was like hellish torment for her. And by Zane's side, it had been a gentle conspiracy that revealed to her all the evil in human nature.
In the end, Zane left. However, he returned to the neighboring wooden house. He didn't leave the village like Malcolm! When Bianca was left alone, she couldn't conceal her emotions.
Obviously, the situation had a significant impact on her.
Natalie seemed to be closely monitoring her situation.
{ Over the phone, Natalie said to Bianca, "I asked Austin to find a way to chase Malcolm off, but nothing Austin offered could tempt him!" In the past, Malcolm has always been the most aggressive when it came to benefits and was never willing to take a loss.
When he competed to become the Entes family's head, it was also because it was the most formidable position in Simeria! It was surprising that now, even the things he once desired most were useless to him, regardless of their benefits.
"When Nancy's case is successfully concluded, I'll leave!" Bianca said.
Ultimately, Bianca was wrong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe used to say that escaping wasn't a solution. No matter where she went, as long as the people of the Entes family didn't want to let her go, it wouldn't be easy for her to escape them.
But now, Bianca really just wanted to escape! She genuinely felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart with their entanglement.
"Yeah, I think that's a good choice," Natalie responded.
At this point, this had become Bianca's only option.
It wasn't even a choice.
Who would want to live a life of constantly running if they could live
peacefully? After completing each job, Bianca would travel for a while before ultimately returning home, despite her carefree nature.
She had a fixed residence and workplace! And now, these two people's meddling had deprived her of even the basic tranquility, making her even more disgusted.
"Nat." "Yeah?" "When I was in town, I saw Cedric." Bianca was referring to when she had been in Weiss Town to take care of Nancy's affairs.
Natalie fell silent.
Cedric? As soon as she mentioned Cedric, Bianca could feel the tension from Natalie's end of the line. After a while, Bianca added, "Kayla seems to have been unwell for a while. I saw them at the hospital entrance." Kayla? Bringing up Isabella's child made Natalie's breath even more unstable.
"If you see him again in the future, don't tell me. I don't want to
j know." ; ~ Now, Natalie still wasn't willing to mention Cedric's name.
"Sorry," Bianca said.
She shouldn't have brought it up.
Natalie now had a stable life with her daughter, husband, and the support of her family. With such a peaceful life, it didn't matter that Natalie and Cedric were once deeply in love or what beautiful memories they once shared.
Everything between them was over.
"It's okay." "I just wanted you to know he's not doing well without you." When Cedric was with her before, he was always entangled with Isabella. Because of that, Natalie completely withdrew from that relationship! This man lacked integrity based on his actions and behavior in the relationship.
Natalie didn't see him finding someone better in the future.
"Whatever happens to him is none of my concern," Natalie replied.
If he was well, she wouldn't be happy for him. If he wasn't doing well, she wouldn't extend a helping hand to him either.
"You can think that way, which is fine, but you still need to be careful of him. Who knows what illness Kayla might have this time," Bianca warned.
¢ The last time Kayla was sick, Cedric went insane and tried to use Luna to save Kayla.
Regardless of the conspiracies and manipulations behind the matter, the final decision was in his hands.
Even knowing Luna was his daughter, he still went all out to save Kayla.
Bianca couldn't tolerate it.
So, when she saw Cedric again with Kayla at the hospital entrance, she instinctively wanted to warn Natalie.
Natalie's breath became heavier when she heard Bianca's words.
When she spoke again, the danger in her tone was hard to conceal.
"Don't worry. He can't see Luna now." Natalie was guarding Luna closely. Since the last complete separation, Natalie hadn't let Cedric see Luna again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn other words, even if they separated, Natalie had completely stripped Cedric of all visitation rights.
"That's good," Bianca said, feeling relieved at Natalie's words.
Cedric was a lunatic! Although he regretted and suffered for Natalie in &/R
~ the last moments, Natalie and Bianca both knew that Cedric was the same at the core.
He would still choose to use Luna to save Kayla even if he could turn back time.
For Kayla, he could use Luna to save her once, and he could certainly use Luna to save her a second time.
He was insane.
Even if they were separated, Natalie still had to be cautious about him.
No one knew when he might emerge from the shadows like a mad dog and attack her! After hanging up the phone, Bianca received a call from Weiss Town.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Sanders. Ms. Sharp's appeal has been rejected." "Why?" Bianca's heart tightened when she heard the outcome. She abruptly stood up, feeling a rush of urgency. At this moment, there was a storm in her eyes.
Hadn't everything been approved before? Why was she hearing such news now?! The person carefully explained the situation to Bianca over the phone, but no matter what explanation it was, Bianca couldn't process the A/R
words.
So, without waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to finish, Bianca couldn't help but angrily shout, "You've seen all the evidence, so what's the doubt now?" "Sorry, Ms. Sanders!" "So, what you're saying is, I have to go back and gather evidence again?" Did they really want her to wait until Nancy was beaten again to gather evidence of domestic violence? Those were all concrete evidence! Why were they being questioned and rejected now? Bianca felt her anger rising continuously.
"Yes, Ms. Sanders." The other party's prompt response only made Bianca even more furious, and the next moment, she slammed the phone down.
What kind of place was this?! But soon, Bianca figured out the reason behind it.
It wasn't a problem with the place, but something had gone wrong on Snow Peak!
