Chapter 754 The Jarvis Family’s Choice As soon as Natalie finished speaking, a shadow passed over the man's eyes.
Before Malcolm could speak, Natalie continued in a mocking and sarcastic tone, "Why would you warn me for Bianca's sake? Does Bianca still hold any favor in your eyes? I wasn't aware of that." If there was anyone who could speak for Bianca, Natalie certainly had the right. In her eyes, Malcolm had practically thrown Bianca into the mud, and now he was acting like he was doing her a favor? "Have you forgotten how you threw her into the abyss? And now you expect
me to do you a favor because of Bianca?" Natalie's words were sharp, cutting to the heart of the matter. — n n "How many times in the past have you said she was unworthy, hmm?" Natalie mocked Malcolm.
Wasn't that exactly the case? Men, in many instances, were far more poisonous with their words than women.
Malcolm remained silent, the air thick with tension as they stared at each other.
After a while, Malcolm chuckled with a dangerous glint in his eyes. "It seems you're getting closer to Austin, aren't you? So, this is the Jarvis family's
choice!" "The Jarvis family has never needed to make choices, so don't speak to me in such a tone!" Natalie retorted sharply, unwilling to concede.
Would she yield? Natalie had conceded too much in the past, allowing these people to overstep their bounds time and time again! ...But not anymore.
Malcolm looked at Natalie, feeling an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.
Things were different now. During their last encounter, Natalie had been like a child relying on Stephen for protection.
But now? Stephen had left Simeria, and Natalie
still lingered under Clyde's wing, However, it seemed she no longer needed that protection, Her eyes had a sharp and hard glint, and she was cold and firm in her words and actions! Malcolm chuckled, appreciating Natalie's sharp wit, and stood up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe casually adjusted his clothes, his gaze upon Natalie becoming even more dangerous, even exuding a strong sense of oppression.
""No wonder you can get along with that woman..." he remarked, referring to Bianca.
Bianca was as tough as they come. And how could Natalie, who was friends with her, be weak in any way because of that?
Malcolm had to admit that Natalie was truly tough.
In the past... Perhaps it was because of Cedric or some other reason, so Natalie tended to compromise out of habit whenever she faced situations.
But now, just by looking at her, one could tell she no longer knew the meaning of compromise. She was all about endless toughness.
"Take care, Lord Malcolm," she said, her words dripping with irony.
In this invisible standoff, Malcolm understood Natalie's true choice...
She had chosen Austin, the Entes family's third son.
As Malcolm turned away, his words dripped with sarcasm and danger, "Natalie, I truly admire your
courage!" "It takes real courage for someone to get involved with the Entes family's sixth son, right?" Rumor has it that Malcolm was the most dangerous and frightening presence in the Entes family. As Natalie pointed out, it took real courage to entangle oneself with Malcolm.
And now, her actions hardly required any.
"Hmph!" Malcolm snorted coldly and left.
Natalie slumped in her chair as the office door closed, her face unnaturally pale. She had sensed the power emanating from Malcolm.
That alone showed just how formidable the Entes family's sixth son
truly was.
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number she rarely called. It was a number she never expected to use.
The person on the other end answered quickly. "Nat?" Natalie's heart skipped a beat at the sound of her name. It was rare for anyone other than her family and close friends to address her like that.
And now... Austin was doing it.
Since when were they familiar enough with each other to do so? But now wasn't the time to dwell on such matters.
"1']] accompany you to the banquet tonight."
"Did Malcolm come to see you?" Natalie was surprised at his question, then responded curtly, "Why does it feel like you have everything under control?" Wasn't that the case? He appeared to have everything under control! "Since I'm bringing you along, I naturally have to take responsibility for you. Don't you agree?" Responsibility? Just mentioning the word drained the color from Natalie's face even more.
"I've told you... Don't casually say such things!" Promises and responsibilities
shouldn't be taken lightly.
Because the words one spoke may be unintentional, but what about the listener? It might be a source of solace or emotional support for the listener.
Of course, Natalie thought of such things. She had had enough of such bitterness with Cedric and Irwin. So, she was not inclined to easily trust anyone now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin chuckled. "Silly girl!" n n "I'll pick you up tonight." Without waiting for Natalie to respond, Austin hung up.
The world fell silent. Natalie put away her phone and massaged her throbbing | forehead.
Natalie had to admit that she was willing to get closer to Austin now because of Malcolm.
Anyone with eyes could see how dangerous things were in the struggle within the Entes family. Regardless of what happened, Natalie absolutely couldn't get too involved with people like Malcolm and Icarus.
Even in her interactions with Austin, she had to be mindful of maintaining some distance.
Was it difficult? When she ended things with Irwin and completely removed that layer of protection, she had already anticipated it would be difficult.
But no matter how difficult it might be, Natalie wouldn't regret it!
It was time to end it...! It had been many years. Regardless of what lay ahead in the future, things with Irwin and Cedric had to end.
Natalie couldn't hold onto the past just because she feared the future.
The past would remain in the past and be irrelevant to her.
When she thought about things this way, Natalie didn't feel that her current situation was very difficult.
Though Natalie was struggling, at least she felt someone relieved with what she was doing. She no longer had to face the past with Irwin and Cedric.
With that, the burden in her heart was reduced by half!
Meanwhile, Rebecca remained persistent. Up to now, she hadn't found any clues about Cedric. Calvin went out time and again, only to return with disappointing news.
