Upon returning to Versant Villa, Bianca noted that Zane’s car was parked at the entrance. When Blanca

carried in the item he had requested, Zane’s expression was cold and distant.

“Here’s what you wanted,” Bianca casually said as she approached him.

“Hmm.” With a noncommittal grunt from him, Bianca placed the items down.

“I’m tired. I’ll go rest upstairs.”

“You seemed pleased tonight,” Zane’s voice sounded dark as soon as Bianca began to turn

away.

She halted, turning back to meet his gaze.

Indeed, she felt genuinely pleased tonight.

“Yes.‘

Everything related to Malcolm had begun to unfold, and watching the turmoil it caused someone under

his protection brought her immense satisfaction.

But more importantly…

There were greater plans in motion against Malcolm!

“Bianca.” Zane’s tone suddenly grew solemn.

“Yes?” She returned his gaze, her eyes sharpening slightly.

“Has anyone ever told you that you’re like a sharp blade?”

That she wasn’t to be trifled with?!

It was the same back in Verde City. Whenever divorce cases emerged, the other party would invariably

attempt to bribe her before the trial even began when they heard she would be the opposing lawyer.

Such was her ruthless reputation.

If Bianca uncovered any dirt, she would use it mercilessly to tear the opposition apart.

Over time, many sought Bianca’s services, and she remained undefeated in her domain!

For a long period afterward, whenever someone in Verde City wanted a divorce, they would always replace

Blanca first and negotiate terms before revealing anything to their spouse!

They did this because they wanted to make sure that Bianca would be on their side!

Given this formidable reputation, did Malcolm truly believe he had destroyed her completely?

Even if not within her territory, she would always have the intention to dismantle any threat.

Taken aback by his words, Bianca approached Zane, stopping just a step away from the man. She

looked up, meeting the gaze of the striking man before her.

She smirked and asked, “So, what do you want me to do?”

Bianca understood.

If Zane viewed her as a sharp blade, then… he intended to use her for his own ends, right?

Either way, they were both in this alliance for their own gains.

Zane gently gripped her chin. His voice carried a subtle yet palpable danger as he said, “Bianca, from

now on… stand behind me, alright?”

Bianca retorted, “You…!”

“I will shield you from everything,” he declared.

A sudden realization dawned on Bianca. Before this, there were things she wanted to do that she

couldn’t do in Simeria. Now, Zane was practically giving her permission to do as she pleased.

She could

1 pursue whatever she wanted relentlessly and without worry.

“Thank you,” she replied hoarsely.

He released her.

Though Bianca regained her freedom, she felt a sharp pang in her chest, causing her to tremble

involuntarily.

Bianca had begun orchestrating subtle and overt strategies against Malcolm, and even those close to

him found themselves caught in the crossfire.

On Natalie’s side, tensions flared just as intensely

No one truly grasped the rage brewing inside her. She was determined to tear Cedric to pieces by any

means necessary.

Over a phone call, Natalie’s voice dripped with venom as she said, “I’ll get you the documents you

need, but I want to see him fall

The nature of the agreement between Natalie and the person on the other end remained a mystery to

all.

And her icy demeanor was unparalleled…!

“Agreed,” came a familiar, grave voice from the other end, sealing their transaction with a single word.

As the call ended, a chilling, razor–sharp intensity flashed in Natalie’s eyes, as if she could crush

someone at any moment.

In the end, Cedric had pushed her to this point!

Those who truly knew Natalie understood her deep devotion to family. She had once lost everything

and all her loved ones. After much hardship, she had reclaimed her family.

She cherished her family and everything she had right now.

How dare Cedric threaten her with Clyde?

Looking at those photos from years ago, just seeing what was depicted on them was shocking enough.

He actually used public exposure as a threat against her?

As she exited the study, she bumped into Clyde, who had just returned home.

Seeing her, he furrowed his brows, “You’re not spending time with your daughter?”

His words only deepened the coldness in Natalie’s heart.

Yes, Luna!

Natalie should have been carefree and spending time with Luna without worries.

But how could she?

With Cedric’s looming threats, her once stable world was now fraught with turmoil.

“Bro.” Natalie approached, wrapping her arms around Clyde’s lean waist.

At that moment, an intensifying coldness gripped her heart. The looming threats from Cedric made her

feel increasingly endangered, and this sense of peril radiated from her.

Sensing this danger, Clyde held Natalie tightly. “Has he threatened you again?”

“Cly!”

“Hmm?”

“I’m thinking of moving to Peach Garden,” Natalle declared.

Clyde’s grip tightened around her, his memories of what Cedric had done to Natalie in the past

unforgivable and unforgettable.

Now, to stoop to such despicable tactics to threaten Natalie?

His voice was laden with anger. “You don’t have to bother about him. I don’t care about those things.”

“But I do,” Natalie interjected firmly and without hesitation.

Indeed, she cared deeply.

How could Clyde not care, especially considering his protective nature? His words were likely aimed at

preventing her from compromising with Cedric.

Clyde was a man hardened by his past experiences, and he had learned not to trust easily.

Yet, he knew the importance of protecting his family.

But… how could Natalie fully trust him, given his history?

His scars ran deep, and even the slightest touch could be agonizing.

So, how could she?

“Nat,” Clyde’s voice tightened with concern.

“I’ve got this,” Natalie reassured him.

“You don’t love him anymore, do you?”

“I don’t.”

“Then don’t go to Peach Garden,” Clyde urged.

If she truly no longer loved Cedric, every moment there would torment her.

Indeed, Natalie’s feelings had grown cold. Every interaction with Cedric was now a painful

reminder of what once was.

But this time, she had to confront it.

It wasn’t just for Clyde, but also for the sake of Luna’s future.

“Trust me,” Natalie stepped back from Clyde’s embrace, gazing at him with determination.

Looking into Clyde’s eyes, she could see a tumultuous storm brewing deep within him.

She knew his history–how he had grown up without anyone to protect him and relied solely on his own

strength to get where he was today.

Given this, how dare Cedric try to belittle him with such tactics?
