    Chapter 500 The Kiss


    As the woman spoke, she approached Zane. Her eyes carefully scanned Bianca, and the atmosphere


    grew tense.


    In that instant, Bianca instinctively straightened her posture.


    “This is my eldest sister–inw, Ynda Nelson,” Zane introduced casually, his tone devoid of


    emotion.


    “Nice to meet you,” Bianca replied, maintaining herposure.


    Ynda chuckled dismissively, her demeanor clearly less than weing. She circled Bianca, eyes


    seemingly warm but carrying a different undertone.


    “I didn’t expect Zane to bring you along. Here’s a token of our meeting,” Ynda said, pulling Bianca’s


    wrist towards her.


    Ynda had fastened a bracelet around her wrist


    The next moment, Bianca gasped audibly swiftly, causing a ripple of tension in the vicinity.


    “You’re quite sensitive,” Ynda remarked, herughter fading as she rejoined the crowd.


    The stares Bianca received were now even more unsettling.


    Among them, Bianca felt an intense, burning gaze.

    Zane’s demeanor softened instantly as he looked down at her, his fierce gaze reced by a gentle


    smile.

    “Are you sure?” Zane asked.


    “Of course,” Bianca responded with a relieved smile.


    Initially, she had been concerned about getting along with his family members. However, the pain in her


    wrist served as a stark reminder of their true nature.


    With that realization, any apprehension she felt vanished instantly. Given the circumstances, interacting


    with the Entes family members was suddenly less stressful than she had imagined.


    Zane wrapped an arm around her slender waist and nted a warm kiss on her forehead.


    Bianca’s reaction was one of surprise, and the onlookers gasped in astonishment.


    At that moment, Bianca could distinctly feel the fiery gaze of animosity that had been directed at her
