    In the next moment, the two heard movements outside. Bianca''s eyes instantly darkened.


    This was Verdant Vi...!


    It seems that the people of the Entes family were still going all out!


    Just as she had barely settled things, it started all over again...! -


    As a member of the Entes family, there was never a moment of peace. This is also why Stephen was


    unwilling to get involved, no matter what happened.


    In Lotus Vi, Heather thought Natalie would eat at home, so she had the kitchen prepare some light


    dishes. However, who would have thought that she would go out in the evening?


    "Where are you going?"


    "A friend invited me to a party."


    "Oh, alright!"


    Heather thought it was good for Natalie to have her own circle. After all, her life has been full of twists


    and turns. So, going out more at this time was the right thing to do.


    It was better than wallowing in self-pity!


    After Natalie left, Stephen came down from upstairs. Clyde came back for a while in the afternoon and


    soon went out again. It looked like he wasn''t returning for dinner.


    Heather and Stephen went to the dining room together.


    Heather sighed. "Not many people know about the matter with Cedric, right?"


    "Don''t worry. No one in Simeria knows."


    They were talking about how Cedric donated his corneas to Natalie, and only a few knew about it.


    Stephen knew what Heather was worried about. She was worried that Natalie would find out.

    As Stephen ced a piece of broli into Heather''s bowl, he said, "Don''t be too nervous. Secrets can''t


    stay hidden forever."


    Obviously, anything that happened to oneself would eventually be known. It was just a matter of time.


    Heather replied, "I''m just concerned...!"


    Although Cedric hade here many times before, there was always a look of helplessness in his


    eyes as he watched Luna.


    It was heart-wrenching to see!


    But it was also impossible to ignore what he did to Natalie.


    Heather thought for a moment and said, "I really hope Nat never finds out in her lifetime!"


    After all, Natalie was her daughter. Heather was afraid that Natalie wouldn''t be able to bear the fact that


    Cedric was the one who gave her the chance to regain her sight.


    As for her feelings towards Cedric...!


    She already had no feelings for him, and thest thing she would want to do was face him because of


    these eyes.


    "At least she won''t know for now."


    "Yeah."


    With that, Heather felt somewhat relieved. -


    At the party, Natalie held Caleb''s arm. Tonight, she wore a blue evening gown, unexpectedly matching


    Caleb''s tie.


    The moment they appeared at the party, Natalie and Caleb''s height difference attracted a lot of


    attention!


    "Do I really look that bad?"


    Natalie felt ufortable under all the gazes. She could also feel a headache building up. It was as if


    no matter who she attended the banquet with, she would receive such looks.


    The man beside herughed!


    "You''re indeed the shortest woman I''ve ever seen!"


    Natalie fell silent.


    The shortest!


    Well, her height was truly a source of heartache!


    That was why Natalie was determined to ensure Luna ate well, fearing that her height would follow


    hers.


    Being short really made everything inconvenient, and many professions would be absolutely limited


    because of it.


    "Do you think Yvonne will reallye out with this method?"


    "You don''t understand her," Caleb said with a deep tone.


    Seriously? He said it as if he knew her so well!


    Natalie said, "If she returns, you better say some good things about me. I don''t want her to see me as


    some vixen who seduces taken men."


    Just thinking about that scene made people involuntarily shiver.


    It was truly terrifying!


    Caleb chuckled.


    "Are you sure me saying good things about you won''t just add fuel to the fire?"


    As soon as he said that, Natalie shot him a re.


    In the eyes of the others, such a scene appeared as banter between the two. Calebughed, and his


    smile was so charming.


    "I shouldn''t have agreed toe with you," Natalie grumbled.


    She shouldn''t have appeared in such a setting with Caleb, but she felt guilty when she thought about


    how Yvonne had run away because of her.


    Hopefully, Yvonne could return to Caleb''s side before the birth.


    They danced, and it was a tacit understanding between the two.


    It must be said that Natalie''s petite figure, when dancing, also had a certain charm that delighted


    people.


    The man lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I heard you saw Lord Austin today."


    "How did you know?" Natalie had no idea about this. She had beenzing about at home all afternoon.


    Obviously, one could only have peace when they were alone.


    But Caleb''s words almost made her lose control of her emotions.


    Caleb said, "You don''t know?"


    "What should I know?"


    Should she know something?


    Now, Simeria was not calm at all. Unexpected things were happening all the time.


    Caleb said, "There''s been a lot of talk recently, saying that the Jarvis and Entes families are about to


    form an alliance, and the groom is Lord Austin!"


    That fool...!


    "A lot of talk?"


    Natalie seized on the key point!


    How did this news leak out?


    When she went to see Austin, they didn''t even allow Lawrence in with her. It was as if the person she


    was meeting still needed to continue hiding his identity.


    And now...!


    "Lord Austin announced his recovery." It seemed like Caleb could see through Natalie''s thoughts.


    Natalie fell silent. At those words, she instantly stiffened!


    After she met Austin, he announced his recovery! And now, there was talk about the Jarvis and Entes


    families forming an alliance.


    This series of events made Natalie feel overwhelmed instantly!


    She didn''t even know what to say anymore.


    "He recovered?"


    "Yeah."


    "He''s not a fool anymore?"


    "Do you think he was a fool to begin with?"


    What a question! Natalie was rendered speechless in an instant, especially since she had met Austin


    earlier.


    How could Natalie not know?


    This person might be the most mysterious in the Entes family, and he was certainly not a fool.


    To put it inly, those who considered him a fool were the real fools, as he held the real power.


    At that moment, Natalie had no idea what to say!


    "The Entes family just won''t quit..."


    Especially on her end.


    First, it was Malcolm, and now it was Austin.


    Last time, Stephen seemed to have paid some price to keep her away from the Entes family. He had


    given Malcolm some benefits.


    So, what about this time?


    What did Austin intend to gain from Regal Horizons International? It seemed that everyone in the royal


    family was eyeing the Jarvis family.


    It''s evident how significant the Jarvis family was in Simeria.


    "When will we be done?"


    "In about an hour!"


    But now Natalie couldn''t wait for even a moment.
