Chapter 328 Withdrawing From the Engagement
Stephen gave her a cold look. “What do you mean?”
“As long as you sever ties with me, I’ll resign from Regal Horizons, and he’ll naturally withdraw that marriage contract.”
Indeed, when Natalie signed the contract, it seemed like she was forced and desperate.
However, she had already figured out a way out after countless twists and turns.
What Malcolm wanted was the powerful backing of the Jarvis family. Whether it was Malcolm himself or the fifth or fourth Lord, they all desired the Jarvis family.
This infuriated Stephen the most because he knew what they sought was the Jarvis family, not Natalie!
Stephen had witnessed too many marriages of convenience without love.
Cedric and Natalie’s union, born out of love, was already challenging.
Having already witnessed that, how could Stephen allow her second marriage to be a merger for the sake of benefits?
This was also why, even when she was in the hands of Malcolm, Stephen hadn’t given in.
“You silly girl.”
“I’m just your niece, not your daughter. If I’ve done something wrong, I should be punished, shouldn’t I?”
Stephen involuntarily frowned when he heard this. He looked at Natalie with profound eyes
and then nodded.
“Yes, that makes sense.‘
“Then, after I meet Bianca tomorrow and escort her out of Simeria… Will you make the announcement, Uncle?
Announce that he had kicked her out of the Jarvis family?
Force her to leave Regal Horizons International?
When a person stood in a high position, it brought a lot of trouble.
Now, Stephen somewhat regretted putting Natalie in this position. First, it was Irwin, and now
it was the Entes family.

In another villa on a different island, Bianca’s face turned pale in the dim light as she looked at the documents in her hands.
She looked at Malcolm and felt her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Her eyes flickered with a dangerous intensity.
“Don’t look me like that. You can leave this place tomorrow.”
“Why?”
The emotions were clear in Bianca’s voice, and there was no sign of the careful restraint she used to display.
She had clearly reached her limit.
How could it be?
Wasn’t torturing her and humiliating her enough?
Did he have to retaliate in this manner?
“Why what?”
“It’s not like you genuinely want to marry her!” Bianca hissed through gritted teeth.
The hatred in her eyes seemed like flames, eager to burn Malcolm to ashes.
Long, slender fingers held a cigar as Malcolm took a puff and then looked at Bianca mockingly.
“I thought you would turn against her because of this.”
“Because of you? Who do you think you are?” Bianca sarcastically retorted.
He thought she would turn against Natalie because of him?!
Who did he think he was?!
As soon as she said that, the air around Malcolm turned dangerous. However, Bianca showed no fear.
“I don’t care how you choose to retaliate against me, but don’t involve her!”
Indeed, this was her bottom line.
It had been two years…!
She had endured whatever kind of revenge this man had planned, but involving Natalie was something she couldn’t accept.
Otherwise, she would have sought Natalie’s help long ago. She knew too well the kind of existence Malcolm was in Simeria, and even seeking Natalie’s assistance wouldn’t save her from his influence.

Now, after all this time, Natalie was finally involved in the situation.
“Do you think I married her to retaliate against you? Aren’t you overestimating yourself a bit?
Bianca’s already unpleasant complexion turned even worse at his words. She stared at
Malcolm with unwavering determination.
Before she could say anything, the man chuckled lightly.
“But it’s normal for you to think that way. Feel free to believe whatever you want!”
“Tomorrow, someone will take you to see her. After that, there will be no connections between us anymore. Understood?”
No connections?
That was good… In fact, it was excellent!
No one knew how long Bianca had been waiting for this day. But she would never have hoped to achieve it under these conditions.
“Tell me, what can I do to spare her?”
“She’s my future princess. What do you mean, spare her? She will be the supreme woman in
Simeria…!”
“She doesn’t care about these things!” Biancà said through gritted teeth.
Malcolm thought he was giving Natalie the best, but Bianca knew very well what kind of person Natalie was.
What’s even more ridiculous was that this man was trying to use such methods to sow discord
between them.
“It seems you are quite confident about your friendship with her?”
Bianca didn’t want to answer him.
How could a person with such twisted values understand friendship?
“A person like you probably has never had a true friend in
your life.”
Then I’ll wait and see how much she hates you one day. How about that?”
The man’s eyes carried a mocking confidence. It seemed like he believed his statement would
Despite her confidence in her friendship with Natalie, her heart couldn’t help but tighten when she heard this man say that Natalie would hate her.
“Rest assured, you won’t get what you want!”
Even at this moment, even with internal doubts, Bianca still firmly believed in Natalie.
The mocking glint in Malcolm’s eyes intensified, but he didn’t speak further.
Bianca found it difficult to breathe and averted her gaze, no longer wanting to look at him.
