Chapter 803 Lord Malcolm's Threat | What did that mean? It meant that everything Austin mentioned to Natalie before was undoubtedly already underway...! The Entes family elders, who previously supported Zane's inheritance of the family, had begun discussing suitable candidates to be his queen.
That was why Bianca couldn't move to Entes Manor right now.
When Natalie thought about this, she became even more worried. "Bia..." Natalie knew about the situation in Simeria despite being in Dawnvale, but Bianca was in the thick of it!
Natalie didn't need to ask if Bianca was aware of her situation.
When Bianca heard Natalie's concern, her heart softened, and she said, "It's okay, Nat. You know why I'm with him." "What will you do now?" "There's nothing I can do but wait," Bianca said.
"Wait..." For what? The outcome? After all these years, Bianca finally landed the final blow on Malcolm in retaliation for their grievances. So, what she was waiting for now naturally pertained to the outcome with Zane.
"Yeah, I'll wait."
| "What do you mean?" "I'll wait and see what he says. We got together because of a contract. Have you forgotten?" Did Bianca mean she would accept ~ whatever outcome just because their relationship had started in such a manner? Natalie felt pained at Bianca's acceptance of the situation and deeply sorry for her best friend. In Verde City, Bianca had worked hard to reach her position, and everything was fine.
But who would have thought that Malcolm would destroy everything? This was the most heart-wrenching aspect! "It's okay. Don't feel too bad,
okay?" ""Can you really let go?" Natalie asked.
"If you can let go, why can't I?" Bianca asked bitterly.
This time, Natalie fell silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was true. Natalie had let go of two lifetimes. It had been challenging, but she had done it as she said she would.
So, what was Bianca's situation compared to that? Wouldn't it be easier for Bianca to let go? "Bia!" Natalie said tersely.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now." Bianca didn't want to hear Natalie's worries. In her opinion, one should be
calm when facing life. Previously, she had seen how many people clung to each other in her workplace, only to end up in vain.
She knew there was no need to drag things out like that.
No matter how reluctant a person felt, one had to preserve their dignity until the end if it was necessary to let go.
After Bianca hung up Natalie's call, her world fell silent.
After a few minutes, her phone vibrated. She had received a message.
She opened it and saw an old black- and-white picture of an infant.
She couldn't discern its significance but noted that it was Malcolm who had sent this photo. She frowned, Before she could think further, her phone
vibrated again.
This time, it was a call from Malcolm.
Bianca accepted the call. Before Malcolm could say anything, she coldly asked, "What's the meaning of this?" "The person in the photo is you," Malcolm replied.
Bianca fell silent.
That was her? "What do you mean?" "Do you recognize the necklace in the picture?" A necklace? She abruptly ended Malcolm's call and scrutinized the photo again. She hadn't
noticed anything before, thinking it was just an unimportant child's photo.
But now, as she opened it again and saw the necklace around the child's neck, her eyes widened, and her heart clenched.
That... was the same necklace she had! She stiffened at the thought, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Was this...? This time, she dialed Malcolm's number. Since their interactions began, she had rarely initiated contact with him. Back then, she seemed indifferent to whatever he did.
However, she had been lying in wait, waiting for the opportunity to strike
back. So, there was no need for them to be in contact. All there was between them was endless hysteria.
Malcolm was quick to answer her call.
When she heard only his heavy breathing through the phone, she suppressed her emotions as best as possible and asked, "Where did you get the photo from?" She took several deep breaths to calm herself before she successfully pushed away the suffocating feeling in her chest.
"Do you really want to know?" Bianca fell silent.
Of course, she did! During her years in Verde City, Natalie admired Bianca's resilience but didn't
know why she was so determined.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was because Bianca had no choice but to strive. She had always wanted to know who her mother was, meaning she had never seen her mother since she was a child.
The only person Bianca had was her grandmother, who was always ill and dependent on medication. There were no childhood photos at home, and she couldn't find any trace of herself.
Before her grandmother passed away, she handed Bianca a necklace and told her that her mother had left it for her.
However, when Bianca tried to ask her grandmother where her mother had gone, the older woman had passed on.
So, the topic of Bianca's mother became an unsolvable mystery.
When Bianca returned to her hometown to investigate, the neighbors said they had only ever met her father. None of them had seen her mother, so they didn't know what she looked like.
"How can I be sure the person in the photo is me?" Bianca asked flatly.
In fact, Bianca had tried to find out more over the years. But even with Natalie's connections, she hadn't found anything.
Yet now, Malcolm had...! "If you weren't sure, why did you call me back?" Malcolm shot back.
"Do you know the photo's origin?" Bianca asked with the same flat tone.
If she knew its origin, it would make
the investigation much easier! "Naturally," Malcolm replied.
"Where is it from?" Bianca's tone grew tighter as the conversation progressed.
Malcolm paused before continuing, "If you want to know, stay by his side from now on and..." Malcolm trailed off, and Bianca's heart raced as if it were about to burst.
"Find a way to become his queen," Malcolm continued.
Bianca fell silent.
At his words, she felt like she was suffocating!
