Chapter 539 Absurd Demand

After Malcolm left, Bianca felt something was off as she looked at the man holding her.

The gaze Zane directed at her was intense.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Bianca’s words carried a hint of displeasure.

Zane replied, “Didn’t I tell you not to provoke him?”

“What? Who would dare provoke him?” Bianca sounded somewhat irked.

She had never intended to provoke anyone. All she wanted was to work hard and live her

life. Even after witnessing Natalie suffer so much by Cedric’s side, she had never

considered marriage.

Therefore, she had never intended to provoke anyone.

Yet, she found herself embroiled in this muddy situation.

How could she simply let it go?

The man’s grip on her tightened.

“Don’t see him these days. Jade is in a critical condition right now,” Zane said carefully.

While the matters concerning the Entes family were pressing, Zane was also attentive to

everything around Malcolm….

Especially when it concerned Bianca!

Given Jade’s critical condition, Blanca was the top priority.

Zane didn’t need to remind Bianca of how important Jade was to Malcolm.

Under the current circumstances, it wouldn’t be surprising if Malcolm resorted to more

forceful methods if it came to that point.

Bianca clearly caught Zane’s implied warning and nodded. “I understand.”

Zane was very busy.

Not long after Malcolm left, Zane also departed. However, Zane left someone with Bianca.

“Michael!”

Michael Quirk had always been by Zane’s side, and Zane now left him with Bianca.

It showed how on guard Zane was against Malcolm.

Before leaving, Zane instructed Michael to stay by Bianca’s side no matter where she

went.

Meanwhile, Natalie seemed to be peacefully spending time with Luna at Lotus Villa. But in

reality, she was far from idle.

When Casey called, Natalie learned that Clyde had entrusted Frederick’s matters to Casey.

Over the phone, Casey said, “I suspect… that Frederic is in Mr. Johnson’s hands!”

Natalie was silent.

In Cedric’s hands?

Now, that was intriguing.

Undoubtedly, both Irwin and the Entes family had been searching for Frederick.

At this time, Cedric had become entangled with the Schneider family. So, in everyone’s

eyes, he might be overwhelmed and simply have no time for anything else.

However, the news from Casey now…

“Is it accurate?” Natalie’s tone grew colder.

Frederick was in Cedric’s hands?

If that were the case…!

Casey replied, “Based on our current leads, it seems he is indeed with Mr. Johnson.”

“How so?”

“Because the last person Frederick met before his disappearance was Mr. Johnson!”

If that was the case, then it was likely that Frederick was indeed with Cedric.

Unexpectedly, even amid the Schneider family’s pressing situation, he… still managed to

divert his attention elsewhere.

What words could Natalie use to describe him now?

But then again…!

She had never truly understood this man in ten years. What did this small revelation

matter now?

Irwin, Cedric, everything–she had never truly seen through them!

So, Cedric’s actions now weren’t surprising in the slightest.

“I got it.”

Natalie ended the call, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.

When Luna rushed over, Natalie instantly pushed away all her hostility and quickly picked

up the child.
