Chapter 319 Urgency

Natalie was on her way back to Hillside Villa. When her car reached a secluded area, other cars.

suddenly surrounded her!

A man in black, with eagle–like eyes and a sharp expression, emerged from one of the vehicles.

Cedric’s face turned cold.

Someone pulled open Natalie’s car door!

“Ms. Walker, our lord has invited you for a drink,” the man said arrogantly.

Natalie’s expression darkened.

An invitation?

“What if I refuse?”

n to go back, but the words were stuck in her throat. She never intended to involve Cedric, and she

didn’t want to owe that man anything!

However, Natalie was now acutely aware of what it would mean for Stephen if she turned around at this

moment.

Images of her past interactions with Cedric and Stephen flashed through her mind.

In the end, the presence of Stephen and Heather prevailed in her thoughts,

“Have someone come immediately!”

“Don’t worry, it’s already arranged,” Leon reassured her.

That was good, then.

Natalie closed her eyes, concealing the tension in her gaze. Leon didn’t see her pale face and

the subtle trembling of her petite figure sitting in the back seat.

The car came to a stop at Hillside Villa, where Yves was already waiting.

“Miss,” Yves called out as he approached, looking at Natalie with concern.

After confirming there was nothing wrong with Natalie, he felt relieved.

“Now, we need to leave.”

Leave? Now?

Natalie glanced at Leon. Lydia had already brought out a packed luggage for her. Before. returning,

Leon had instructed Lydia on what to pack, following Stephen’s arrangements.

If it weren’t for this, they would have left immediately.

Natalie furrowed her brows. In the end, she boarded Yves’s car, and Leon followed suit.

When Lucas arrived, he saw Natalie, whom Cedric had just rescued, getting into Irwin’s car.

Even as an outsider, his eyes carried a touch of bitterness at that moment.

Inside a villa on an island, Bianca was in a disheveled state. She watched the video before her

and felt her heart constricting.

Not far from her was the arrogant man who had ordered the scene before her to happen.

Seeing her pale face, Malcolm smiled in satisfaction.

“Your friend is quite cute. I didn’t know someone like you would have a best friend willing to die for you!

“Withdraw your people,” Bianca said in a trembling voice.

Normally calm and composed, she finally showed cracks in her demeanor before this man.

Bianca.. the woman who disappeared for two years!

+25 BONUS

The woman Natalie turned the world upside down for.

Right now, Bianca looked nothing like her proud and carefree self from her days in Verde City.

Back then, she stood at the pinnacle of her career, living a carefree and unrestrained life. But now, she

had fallen from grace. She had lost much weight and held none of her former elegance.

Yet, over the past two years, despite Malcolm’s torment, her face remained consistently impassive.

But now, watching Natalie on the screen, she couldn’t help but tremble.

“It seems she’s important to you as well,” Malcolm said mockingly.

Bianca remained silent, but her silence provided the man with an answer.

These past two years…!

She had behaved like a woman devoid of any vulnerability before him. Even if Malcolm knew about

Natalie, he only thought her to be an ordinary friend to Bianca.

Perhaps because Stephen and everyone else had hindered Natalie’s search for Bianca, Malcolm never

knew.

He didn’t know Natalie’s significance to Bianca.

If he did, he would surely realize the kind of presence Natalie held in Bianca’s world.

Simeria would have lost its tranquility long ago if that had happened.

“I just don’t want to involve innocent people.”

“Hah, how stubborn.”

Malcolm snapped his fingers, and the scene shifted. They watched as Natalie got into Irwin’s

car.

After learning about Natalie’s significance to Bianca, Malcolm quickly dug up everything about Natalie

in a short time.

“Do you know the consequences of her getting into Irwin’s car?” Malcolm asked with a dangerous

smile.

Blanca remained silent.

Consequences?

She didn’t know!

She never knew what Irwin truly meant to Natalle. However, judging by Malcolm’s reaction,

Bianca’s heart surged with emotions as she looked at Malcolm.

“Your friend is truly pitiful. All those people around her seem so devoted and loving, don’t they? Yet,

each one of them wears a mask!”

“To this day, she probably has no idea what kind of existence Irwin is for her and her uncle in Simeria.”
