Chapter 396 Cedric Can’t Remain Calm
The grand banquet of the Jarvis family caused a sensation throughout Simeria, with major media
outlets vying for coverage.
The apanying photos were of Natalie and Clyde holding hands. Their faces were so simr that
one would never believe they weren’t twins.
A family portrait further cemented the close bond between them in the eyes of the Simerians.
After the event was concluded, Bianca elegantly walked out of the banquet with Zane’s coat over her
shoulders, a distinguished gentleman escorting her.
Such a sight prompted further media attention, especially since Zane’s whereabouts had always been
elusive.
But what was this?
He appeared in public with his wife?!
Malcolm stood at the entrance to their respective cars, looking cold and distant. He has changed his
companion again after previously causing such a sensation in Simeria with Natalie.
Now, he was up to his old tricks again.
Their eyes met, and a smirk yed across Bianca’s l*ps. Her gaze was deep, full of
of arrogance and danger. She spared Malcolm a fleeting nce before she turned away as Zane
helped her
into the car.
Malcolm clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. Were it not for the crowd, he might have lost
control and torn Bianca to pieces!
Just as Zane was about to enter his car, a voice called out, “Zane!”
In the end, it was Malcolm who broke the silence between them. Zane paused and nced at
Malcolm.
-Previously, the world believed that Zane and Malcolm were on good terms. But after the incident with
Bianca, all such rumors shattered, and the truth of their rtionship was
revealed.
“She’s nothing but trouble!” Malcolm dered menacingly, his tone filled with suppressed
rage
It felt like he was giving Zane onest warning and that the consequences would be dire if Zane didn’t
listen to Malcolm
Zane’s inscrutable expression gave nothing away as he boarded the car silently.
As Malcolm observed Zane’s attitude toward him, a burning rage welled up within him. It made him
wish he could tear Bianca apartpletely.
“Quite the audacity!” he sneered.
Wasn’t she just remarkable? He had been away for merely three days. Yet upon his return, was already
entangled with the seventh lord, and they even got married?!
Well, wasn’t that just splendid?!
she
Malcolm exuded an aura of danger at this moment, and the woman beside him could sense it clearly.
Casting a jealous nce toward where Bianca and Zane departed, her eyes shimmered with
envy.
“Lord Malcolm,” the woman cooed, her tone dripping with sweetness.
However, Malcolm shoved her away and coldly boarded his vehicle. Before the woman could join him,
the car door mmed shut and sped off!
“Lord Malcolm, I haven’t got in…!”
She was ignored, and the car disappeared from her sigh. The woman stomped her foot angrily
on the spot.
She finally understood the seventh lord’s wife, Bianca, was bad news.
Inside the car, Bianca and Zane sat with impable poise, maintaining a significant distance
between them.
The glow from the streetlights illuminated Bianca’s face, making her pallor even more pronounced than
during her days with the Jarvis family.
“I’ll contact Frederick as soon as possible,” Bianca murmured.
Zane replied nonchntly, “There’s no rush.”
Bianca was taken aback. No rush? Did he forget about Frederick’s significance?!
“Lord Zane, regardless, I’m grateful to you,” she finally said, referring to their marital alliance.
The sound of a lighter echoed as the man lit a cigar. He took a couple of puffs, his demeanor seeming
somewhat restless.
Ever since he had seen Natalie tonight, Zane had been acting off.
Could it be that he…?
Bianca turned her head away, choosing not to say anything.
Once everything with the Entes family had been settled and Zane had full control, she would be truly
free.
Yes, Bianca would aid Zane in taking full control of the Entes family. When that happened, his brothers
would depart Simeria to pursue their own ventures as the family tradition dictated.
Only those who remained in control of everything would remain in Simeria, ensuring the stability of the
Entes family for generations toe.
After Zane gained control, the other lords of the Entes family would inevitably leave. Malcolm had
always wanted absolute control over the Entes family, and his ambitions had only grown more intense
over the years, something Bianca clearly understood.
He had ruined everything she had ever wanted.
In that case, she would destroy what mattered most to him in return!
After the Jarvis family’s banquet, all the guests had departed except for Cedric.
He red intensely at Natalie.
At that moment, he was unsure of the emotions he should harbor towards her.
“Nat…” His voice was strained and filled with disbelief.
Natalie replied with silence, her gaze toward Cedric dripping with mockery.
If tonight had sent ripples throughout Simeria, the man standing before her was undoubtedly the most
disturbed among everyone.
Cedric continued to stare at Natalie.
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
Why didn’t she say anything?
About what?
That Clyde was her brother?
Because I trust him!”
She meant she believed Clyde could stand up to Cedric
Indeed, Cedric hade to realize Clyde’s cunning. Every time he tried to pin him down, Clyde
managed to wriggle out, demonstrating the true meaning of cunning.
It was no wonder that despite his young age and without Stephen’s protection, Clyde had managed to
gain such power in Wexford.
“Was it fun to treat me like a fool?” Cedric’s words dripped with danger.
Yes, a fool!
No one could fathom the storm raging within Cedric when Stephen had announced that news.
Everything he had done regarding Clyde suddenly seemed so foolish.
Natalie sneered. “Hah… Didn’t anyone tell you?”

Cedric was silent.
Hadn’t anyone told him…?
Told him what?
Suddenly, Natalie’s smile faded as she remarked, “Did no one ever tell you how foolish truly are?”
Cedric remained silent. As her words settled, a storm seemed to brew in Cedric’s eyes.
“To me, you’ve always been pitifully foolish when ites to emotions!”
you
At first, she had been furious witnessing his actions. But then, she pitied him when she saw how he
was being yed like a puppet.
How could a man be so foolishly manipted?
“Cedric, you may be a business genius and have an unshakeable position in Wexford, but in my eyes,
you’re just a pig!”
