    At a charity g, Zane had instructed Bianca to bid on a painting at any cost.


    But fate had its twists, and she bumped into Jade.


    “You sly fox! Just because Malcolm didn’t want you, you immediatelytched onto Zane!” Jade


    sneered, barely finishing her sentence before she received a stinging p across her face.


    The force was evident, making Jade taste blood. She could feel the warmth of the p lingering on her


    cheek.


    “How dare you strike me?” Jade eximed in disbelief.


    “Does it hurt?”


    “I’m going to tell Malcolm!” Jade threatened, infuriated by Bianca’s audacity.


    How dare this woman p her?!


    But Bianca dismissed her threat with a smirk. “You’re already an old woman. Yet, you’re acting like a


    child? How embarrassing!”


    “Who are you calling old?” Jade seethed, her face fluctuating between pale and purple with


    rage.


    Bianca leaned in and said, “Take care, dear. Your temper might harm your kidneys.”


    Her voice was soft, but it was tinged heavily with mockery.


    Jade staggered back, nearly copsing.


    The sheer audacity of this woman!


    Jade felt a burning desire to tear Bianca apart.


    She was such a hateful woman! How dare she!


    However, nca simply smiled. Then, she gracefully moved away, seemingly in high spirits.


    At an auction, Jade set her sights on a set of jewelry with a starting bid of a whopping 5 million!


    As she raised her paddle, the crowd instinctively made way. After all, everyone in Simeria knew that


    Jade, the heiress of the Winters family, was deeply cherished by Malcolm.

    In all her years, no one dared to challenge her choices.


    But today was different.


    Just as the gavel was about to fall for the third time, Bianca calmly dered, “Six million.”


    The crowd gasped, eyes darting to the source of the bid. They were taken aback when they recognized


    Bianca.


    “Isn’t that the seventh lord’s wife?”


    “Yes, it’s her!”


    Memories of the grand event where Zane and Bianca had stunned the entire Simeria at the Jarvis


    family’s gathering resurfaced in everyone’s mind.


    The showdown between the cherished heiress under Malcolm’s protection and the wife of the seventh


    lord was a spectacle no one could have predicted.


    Upon hearing someone daring to outbid her, Jade turned to see who it was.


    When her eyes met Bianca’s, a sinister glint shed in them. She wanted so much to tear Bianca into


    pieces…!


    Jade’s eyes darkened with venomous rage at that moment, as if she wanted nothing more than


    to tear Bianca apart.


    “Seven million!”


    “Eight million!”


    …Nine million!”


    Jade hesitated noticeably, but Bianca remained resolute, showing no signs of hesitation. “Ten


    million!”


    Bianca clearly intended to win that set of jewelry


    Jade red fiercely at Bianca, a warning evident in her eyes.


    However, nca didn’t even spare her a nce.


    Seeing Bianca’s aloof and arrogant demeanor, Jade gritted her teeth and raised her paddle once more.


    “Fifteen million!‘


    Yet, Bianca swiftly countered with, “Twenty million!”


    Jade was left speechless.


    The onlookers could practically feel the tension between the two women. Rumors once spoke of a


    harmonious rtionship between the sixth and the seventh lord of the Entes family.


    But looking at it now, it didn’t seem those rumors were true.


    Jade fumed and didn’t realize that the gravel hadnded three times. She was distracted, looking at


    Bianca’s aloof and arrogant expression


    She gritted her teeth and forgot herself in her anger!


    “Twenty–five million!”


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Winters, but this set already belongs to the seventhdy. Perhaps you’ll find something


    else to your likingter.”


    Jade had lost!


    In all her years in high society, Jade had never tasted defeat.


    But now, she had been bested!


    Bianca…!


    First, she took Malcolm’s attention, and now she dared to challenge Jade! Did Bianca think she was


    better than Jade because she was with Zane?!


    When Bianca exited the auction hall, Jade was waiting by her car. When Jade caught sight of Bianca,


    she strode forward to p her.


    But in an unexpected turn, Bianca grabbed Jade’s wrist with such force that Jade felt a sharp pain and


    broke out into a cold sweat.


    “You… You bitch!”


    With a swift motion, Bianca pped Jade across the face.


    Unlike Jade’s seething anger, Bianca seemed poised andposed.


    The force behind the p was evident as Bianca’s hands trembled slightly after it.


    “You… you…!”


    Another p echoed, further fueling Jade’s fury.


    Jade’s heart raced, and her expression twisted into an ugly sight as she looked at Bianca. Her gaze


    was also filled with intense hatred.


    “Next time, watch your words. I wouldn’t mind teaching you how to behave like a true nobledy,”


    nca said tly.


    Your manners are quite bad, you know? Forget about being worthy of Lord Malcolm. You’re not even


    worth being with the most useless third lord of the Entes family!”


    “How dare you bump me with that imbecile and insult me that way?” Jade seethed, ring daggers at


    nca.


    Her gaze seemed as if she wanted to devour Bianca whole


    Who didn’t know that the most docile member of the Entes family was the third lord? Because he was a


    fool, and a fool would naturally be obedient.


    Yet now, Bianca dared insult her by lumping her with him!


    The anger she felt in her heart escted rapidly. It was almost as if she wanted to drown Bianca


    entirely in it!


    ‘Insult you? Do you even know the meaning of the word? I thought you and the third lord were a perfect


    match!”


    “You..!


    Jade’s anger reached a new peak


    This was outrageous!


    Bianca had gone too far. In all of Jade’s years in Simeria, no one had ever dared to humiliate her like


    this.


    And yet, Bianca did!


    “Ugh!” Before Jade could react, Bianca forcefully pushed her, causing Jade to stumble and fall.


    “Stop right there!”


    Ignoring Jade’s scream, the car sped away, leaving her fuming with rage.


    Watching the direction in which Bianca’s car disappeared, Jade seethed, “You just wait!”


    Each word she uttered dripped with malice.


    Meanwhile, inside the car, Bianca’s mood was unusually cheerful. Whatever happened tonight was just


    the beginning-


    Things would progress gradually starting from now…!


    Bianca would never forget the pain Malcolm had inflicted on her and how much he had ruined her life.


    She would recover all of it.


    She would settle to score with him without missing a single detail!
