    Chapter 454 Seeing Him Again


    Zane was silent.


    Undoubtedly, this was perhaps the most vexing period in Malcolm’s life.


    “Oh, there’s something,” Bianca began.


    “What is it?”


    “Nat mentioned that she’s certain the other half of the documents are with Cedric!” Bianca looked


    directly at Zane as she spoke.


    A flicker of emotion crossed Zane’s face. “Is she sure?”


    “Yes, she’s certain.”


    Zane’s eyes flickered, and his slender fingers rhythmically tapped on the couch’s armrest.


    The tension in the air seemed to thicken


    Then, a wry smile crept onto his l*ps. “It seems things have escted to a life–and–death struggle


    between her and Cedric.”


    “Yeah.”


    At this moment, Bianca also pondered what emotions were exactly and why they could lead


    people to such extremes.


    In the beginning, things were so good between Natalie and Cedric. Yet even back then, Bianca had


    her reservations.


    Those two… it seemed like their rtionship wouldn’tst till the end!


    And it indeed was true.


    Sometimes, one’s instincts were right.


    Back then, the members of the Johnson family seemed so difficult to get along with.


    Natalie’s nature was so gentle, so soft, which caused Bianca to worry a lot…!


    But who could have imagined…?


    Yes, Natalie had been bullied. The Johnson family had taken full advantage of her!

    And she eventually ended up where she was, with her rtionship with Cedric concluding in


    such a manner.


    She had also changed.


    Now, whenever Bianca looked at Natalie, she felt an icy chill, a coldness devoid of warmth.


    And Bianca was the same.


    Just as they were about to continue their conversation, Sebastian entered hurriedly. “Lord Zane, Lady


    Bianca


    “What is it?”


    ‘Lord Malcolm is here.”


    A grave seriousness shadowed Sebastian’s eyes. Over time, most of the residents of Versant Vi


    became aware of the tangled rtionship between Malcolm and Bianca.


    Every encounter between them was nothing short of explosive.


    Zane nced at Bianca, his eyes deep and unreadable. “What did you do to him this time?”


    Bianca replied. “Nothing.”


    After all, anything she did now would surely displease Malcolm, right?


    “Go on upstairs,” Zane finally said, choosing not to press further


    Bianca nodded. She wasn’t eager to face that man either. However, just as she began to rise,


    Sebastian’s voice grew even more solemn.


    “Lord Malcolm mentioned he’s here specifically for Lady Bianca.


    Zane and Bianca fell silent, both showing a shift in their expressions


    Given that Zane’s car was parked outside, it was unlikely that Malcolm missed it.


    Yet, despite seeing it, he still boldly sought out Bianca?!


    “Should I meet him?” Bianca asked as she looked at Zane.


    However, she caught a cold glint shing in Zane’s eyes in that fleeting nce. Even with her


    fearless nature, a chill ran down her spine at that moment


    “Go upstairs!” Zanemanded.


    Bianca was silent.


    Caught in the icy demeanor of the man, Bianca felt a strange mix of emotions. She was unsure how to


    interpret his silent, protective stance toward her.


    It felt suffocating, as if her heart was constricting


    Eventually, she nodded and ascended the stairs.


    a Malcolm was ushered in and saw Zane, the danger in his eyes receded slightly, reced by


    mocking demeanor.


    Zine was all too familiar with this side of him.


    What, not in the main mansion today?” Malcolm remarked as he sat down on the couch opposite Zane


    and crossed his legs in a carefree manner.


    Zane lit a cigarette, tossing the pack toward Malcolm with indifference.


    “You should visit there more often.”
