    From Bianca''s calm tone, Natalie could probably tell how Bianca had resisted when she endured all of


    that.


    And Malcolm already hated her!


    So, her resistance undoubtedly enraged him like a wild beast, making him even more ruthless.

    In that kind of cruelty, Bianca went from initial resistance to eventualpromise. But, of course, it


    wasn''t a genuinepromise.


    It was... turning into the same kind of beast as him. By his side, she lurked in the shadows, waiting for


    the right moment to strike!


    When Bianca became the seventhdy of the Entes family, Malcolm was probably shocked and


    furious, right?


    Bianca was never one to surrender!


    Even if she temporarily yielded, she would never abandon her pride. She would find a way to turn the


    tables...!


    As Bianca said, everything she had was destroyed by that man.


    So, how could she just let it go like that?


    Previously, what Natalie saw was that Malcolm wouldn''t let Bianca go unpunished.


    But now, Natalie saw that Bianca... would never let Malcolm go unpunished either.


    Malcolm destroyed everything Bianca had!


    So she... would crush everything important to him.


    "All right, we agreed not to talk about these things. Let''s see if the arrangement is better than the ones


    you did before," Bianca said with a smile to Natalie.


    However, at that moment, Natalie''s heart clenched painfully.


    "Stop it!"


    She grabbed the flowers and scissors from Bianca''s hands.


    But the next moment, Bianca calmly took them back.


    "Give them to me."


    Bia!" Natalie''s tone became stern.


    I want to remember," Bianca said.


    That was right!


    She wanted to remember.


    She insisted on doing every single thing she had learned while at Malcolm''s side. Even though she felt


    choked every time she did those things, why did she persist?


    Because she wanted to remember!


    She wanted to remember how Malcolm gradually dismantled her pride. And how he turned her into


    more and more of a canary in a birdcage.


    She was waiting! She had always been waiting.


    Doing these things now was suffocating, but she was also waiting for the day when she could do them


    without feeling this way.


    Natalie felt for Bianca as she looked at Bianca''s serene and elegant demeanor.


    These were the deepest marks on Bianca''s soul. These were memories she couldn''t erase. These


    memories also made her understand how she lost everything.


    "Can you see clearly now?" Bianca asked Natalie.


    Natalie nodded. "Yes."


    Her heart felt heavy! Being with Bianca used to be the best feeling in the world.


    But now...?


    Bianca was bearing too much burden.


    Natalie hoped all of this would pass soon. Only when it truly passed could Bianca return to her normal


    self.


    However, could one truly return to their normal self?


    Even if all of this came to aplete end, the traces left in Bianca''s world would still be vivid!


    It was the same as what happened with Natalie!


    Natalie stayed for lunch at Verdant Vi. Throughout the morning, Natalie sensed various changes in


    Bianca.


    It was no wonder that everyone, including Stephen, said that the Entes family was like an abyss.


    Previously, Natalie didn''t understand the meaning of this sentence, but now she did.


    "Is it good?"


    "Yeah. It''s delicious."


    "It would be better if we had some wine, but unfortunately, you can''t drink now."


    Natalie fell silent.


    Previously, whenever they had meals together, they would always have some wine. There were many


    troubles in the Johnson family, so every time Natalie met Bianca, she couldfortably have a few


    more drinks to ease her troubles.


    "What''s the situation in Wexford? Do you know?" Bianca asked.


    After discussing the heaviest matters concerning Bianca all morning, they finally came to talk about


    Natalie.


    "I haven''t been paying attentiontely," Natalie replied.


    "Cedric is missing!"


    Cedric was missing?


    How was that possible?


    Although she had heard mentions of it before, Natalie hadn''t given much thought to it until Bianca


    brought it up.


    Natalie''s expression remained indifferent. "It has nothing to do with me."


    That was right!


    She remained indifferent to everything about Cedric!


    Back in Verde City, Bianca had hoped Natalie would have this kind of clear indifference towards Cedric.


    But now, Bianca stiffened slightly at this moment and said, "I saw him when he came to see Lunast


    time."


    "You saw him?"


    "Yeah."


    Bianca nodded, and when she looked at Natalie, her expression becameplicated.


    Then, she continued, "Nat, do you remember if anything important happened between Cedric and


    Isabe?"


    "The affair!" Natalie blurted out without hesitation.


    What else could it be?


    Other than that, there was only the matter concerning Ivan!


    Natalie didn''t know all the details. Regardless of what happened, she knew that was the reason Cedric


    never let go of Isabe.


    "Seriously... Do you still believe there''s anything between them?" Bianca asked.


    "It doesn''t matter anymore," Natalie slowly said as she stared at Bianca.


    Natalie''s words were heavy and indifferent. From her tone, Bianca could sense that Natalie had


    She opened her mouth to say something, but Natalie continued, "Bia, when that incident with Luna


    happened, he became nothing in my world."


    No, it was even earlier than that!


    At the moment when the detention center burned down, Cedric truly meant nothing in her world. The


    entanglement afterward was just Cedric''s wishful thinking.


    "ir is the most important person in his world, right?" Natalie murmured softly, unsure if she was


    speaking to herself or Bianca.


    Whether it was her or Isabe, they couldn''tpare to ir in Cedric''s heart, could they?


    That was right. They couldn''t.


    At that moment, Bianca didn''t know what to say anymore. Initially, Natalie had already given up on


    Cedricpletely, but now... after knowing about ir, their rtionship seemed to be even more


    hopeless.


    Bianca looked into Natalie''s eyes. "Do you know whose eyes you received?"


    "I don''t know. Cly told me they''re from a donor who has already passed away."


    Bianca fell silent.


    When she heard this, there was a suffocating feeling in Bianca''s chest.


    Even though Cedric had said such absurd things at the time, the brightness in Natalie''s eyes right now


    was truly reminiscent of that man!


    Even though there were some things Cedric couldn''t let go of, Natalie was undoubtedly the most


    important person in his heart!
