Chapter 387 Bianca’s Anger

Blanca’s voice seethed with rage as she exclaimed, “Why didn’t you just get rid of that child?”

The fury in her tone was unmistakable.

Cedric seemed to be an ever–present figure in Natalie’s life. First, he mistreated Natalie, and now he

pulled this move.

Natalie sighed. “She’s just a child.”

While she had reservations about Kayla and didn’t particularly want to be around her, she didn’t harbor

the same extreme feelings as Bianca

“Why doesn’t he just leave with that child?”

Bianca’s anger was as clear as day. If Isabella’s daughter meant so much to Cedric, he should spend

his life with her!

Compared to Bianca’s fiery temper, Natalie appeared more composed.

“It’s up to him wherever he chooses to go with the child.”

“You’re really okay with that?”

“Yes,” Natalie responded.

Aside from the discomfort she felt when Isabella’s name was mentioned, she remained.

unfazed.

“But with him here in Simeria and close to you, there are bound to be complications,” Biancal

warned.

Natalie nodded silently. That was indeed her primary concern.

“Enough about Cedric,” Natalie said, trying to steer the conversation away. She didn’t want to dwell on

him. “Let’s talk about you and Zane.”

This was an unexpected twist for Natalie. She had often wondered how Bianca would escape

Malcolm’s clutches, but she hadn’t expected this.

Seeing Zane earlier, she sensed a wild unpredictability about him. “Why would he agree to this?”

Zane wasn’t someone easily controlled. Yet, in a short span, he had agreed to marry Bianca!

Although the seventh lord had always been enigmatic, Natalie had heard rumors. Rumors had it that

while the seventh and sixth Lords were close, the fifth and sixth were always at each other’s throats.

Given the dynamics, why would Bianca align with Zane? It would make more sense for her to have

joined forces with the fifth lord instead!

“The Entes family isn’t exactly unified right now.” Bianca remarked tersely.

Natalie pondered, realizing that perhaps rumors were just that–rumors.

Were they truly unreliable?

“Then why did he agree?”

“Because of Frederick,” Bianca replied.

Natalie’s mind reeled, trying to process this new revelation.

“Frederick?”

The mysterious figure by Irwin’s side, holding that crucial half of the documents?

“What’s your connection with Frederick?” Natalie asked.

Things were spiraling out of control.

For the seventh lord of the Entes family to marry Bianca because of Frederick implied that there was

some deep connection between Frederick and Bianca.

But how?

“Natalie, in this world, nothing is impossible. That half of the document holds significant importance for

every lord of the Entes family,” Bianca responded solemnly.

“And your relationship with Frederick?”

As Natalie posed the question, her heart raced.

When she first learned of Frederick, she understood his significance to every lord of the Entes family

and what he represented for Simeria and even Wexford.

Knowing Malcolm, Cedric, and now Irwin were all searching for Frederick made it evident he was of

unparalleled importance.

Bianca’s claim that her marriage to the seventh lord was tied to Frederick only deepened the

mystery.

What was their connection?

The more Natalie thought about it, the tighter the knot in her stomach became.

She began to fear that Bianca had unknowingly entered a dangerous situation and might never

escape.

“Bia

The silence from Blanca seemed to confirm Natalie’s worst fears. Her voice trembled with

unease

Bianca said, “Let’s not discuss this further.”

“Then what about Lord Malcolm? Is he…” Natalie trailed off and hesitated.

She remembered how Malcolm had once been determined to tear Bianca apart because of Faye.

To Natalie, Bianca’s new alliance with the seventh lord didn’t signify the end of her troubles with

Malcolm.

Instead, it might be the start of something even more perilous.

Thinking about the challenges Bianca would inevitably face made Natalie’s anxiety skyrocket.

“Bia, do you have to do this?” Natalie pleaded, hoping against hope that Bianca might consider leaving

Simeria.

Simeria was extremely chaotic right now!

Recent events in Wexford had disrupted the calm they’d enjoyed for two years. Things were starting to

move in Simeria due to that.

Now, Natalie genuinely feared for Bianca’s safety.

“Nat, I understand your concern for me, but I can’t leave. Do you know what would happen if I did? I’d

die!” Bianca replied.

“You…!”

“Did you know? Malcolm wanted to use me to save Faye’s sister, Jade,” Bianca revealed.

Natalie’s expression shifted dramatically, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Bianca’s calm

countenance.

Natalie couldn’t fathom the emotions Bianca must have felt at that time. Yet now, as Bianca spoke of it,

her tone remained eerily calm.

Evidently, she had strategized with Zane and was plotting against Malcolm.

“He actually…!”

“Jade was suffering from a severe kidney ailment. What’s the difference between using me to save her

and killing me?” Bianca’s voice remained steady.

“He dared to?!”

‘What wouldn’t he dare to do? So, Nat, when I weigh my life and future against fate, these: things seem

trivial,” Bianca articulated each word with profound insight, as if she had seen through the intricacies of

life.

Such deep–seated pain made Natalie’s heart clench. Previously, she had only seen Malcolm’s vengeful

side, unaware of his more sinister intentions behind the polished facade.

The composed manner in which Bianca spoke now was chilling.

But who knew what else Malcolm had forced Bianca to do back then?!

Each word that Bianca spoke tore at Natalie’s mind and caused an unbearable ache in her chest.

“Bia…” Natalie began again, her voice filled with evident pain.

“He ruined my life and future for Faye, and then he wanted to end my life for Faye’s sister!”

“Nat, did I give him the impression that I’m weak?”

Natalie was speechless.

Weak?!
