Chapter 332 Lord Malcolm’s Past
Stephen looked at Natalie and said, “In fact, Lord Malcolm wasn’t like that in the beginning.”
When she heard Stephen’s words, Natalie raised an eyebrow. It was obvious she didn’t want to talk about
this!
In her opinion, Malcolm was not even a bit redeemable…
However, Stephen said he wasn’t like that in the beginning.
She was curious.
“So, how did he used to be?”
“He was calm, reserved, and indifferent. He was also sophisticated and dignified.”
Sophisticated and dignified?
Natalie couldn’t connect those words to Malcolm at all.
He had called Blanca by a number–74.
How could Natalie not understand the meaning behind it?
Until now, Natalie felt that Malcolm’s humiliation of Bianca was detestable.
“All his changes began because of a woman in Verde City.”
“Faye?”
“Yes.”
Natalie’s heart felt heavy. It seemed that she now knew the true nature of the hatred between Malcolm
and Bianca.
To Malcolm, everything that happened to Faye started because of the lawsuit she had lost. He thought that Bianca fought an unscrupulous lawsuit against her conscience!
But was it really true?
“I didn’t tell you before because I knew things between Lord Malcolm and her wouldn’t end so easily
Helping for a moment doesn’t mean we can help for a lifetime!”
was allent
Her already unpleasant expression became even more uncomfortable when she heard her uncle say this.
In that case, Malcolm and Bianca were in for an unending struggle?!
Natalie felt a headache coming on when she thought about this.
“If Lord Malcolm didn’t hold such a deep grudge, why would he come after her the way he did? He’s the Entes family’s sixth son. He didn’t need to bother about someone insignificant like her.”
At that moment, Natalie didn’t know what to say.
She always thought that the tragedy began because she brought Bianca to Simeria
But after hearing Stephen’s explanation, it seemed that Malcolm would eventually have found her even
Blanca didn’t come to Simeria.
It was just a matter of time.
“We’ll just wait for Leon’s call,‘ Natalie said after she took a deep breath.
if
Natalie wasn’t interested to know how Malcolm used to be. All she knew was Bianca’s state when she
had been by his side.
Her vacant eyes, her injuries, and even her number–all of it were evidence of the humiliation inflicted by
that man.
Even if Malcolm was once an angel, it wasn’t worth forgiving him.
Stephen nodded. “Regardless, you’ve done your best for her this time and paid a heavy price. This is the
only time you can do this. There can’t be another!”
Stephen’s tone was serious. His words were a warning and a reminder that Malcolm was not someone to
be messed with.
Just this once… was already the limit.
So, Natalie couldn’t do anything more.
Natalie glanced at Stephen silently and nodded slightly.
Seeing her in this state, Stephen couldn’t help but worry.
There’s one more thing Stephen thought for a moment, then looked at Natalie with a serious
expression.
“What is it?”
Seeing how grave the older man looked, Natalie swallowed harshly
Stephen thought for a moment and said, “Rebecca is here.”
Rebecca Carter.
Natalie already knew. She hadn’t wanted to say anything about Rebecca’s arrival, but why did Stephen
bring it up now?
Before she could speak, Stephen continued, “No matter what happened between you and Cedric, Irwin is
not your first choice.”
Natalie was silent.
Not her first choice?
Stephen had highly valued Irwin back then and trusted the latter a lot
Natalie frowned and asked, “Did something happen?”
Stephen and Irwin were close friends. Whatever happened between them must have been severe enough
for Stephen to lose his trust in Irwin completely!
That was it–Stephen didn’t trust Irwin anymore.
Because without trust, Stephen wouldn’t feel comfortable entrusting her to Irwin.
The serious glint in Stephen’s eyes intensified when he looked at Natalie.
“There are still some details which are unclear, but he and Cedric attended the same school back in the
day. I’m sure Irwin only went there because he had something planned!”
“Something planned?”
“Yes.” Stephen nodded.
Natalie was speechless.
So, there really were some grievances between Irwin and Cedric back then? What exactly happened
between them?
Natalie and Stephen had vast resources at their disposal, and the school was quite big and well–known.
Even so, why couldn’t they find anything about the animosity between Irwin and Cedric?
Despite their entanglements, they appeared to be strangers.
“Are you saying Irwin attended that school just because of Cedric?”
“It’s highly likel
Stephen could tell from how close Cedric and Irwin had been standing in that photo.
So, what really happened behind the scenes became even more intriguing.
Stephen looked at Natalie and said, “Regardless, until everything is clear, keep a distance from Irwin.”
“Okay, I understand.” Natalie took a deep breath and nodded. However, the heaviness in her heart
persisted.
She had trouble seeing clearly through the people around her, and as she now recalled Irwin’s past
protection…
She couldn’t help but wonder if Irwin had ulterior motives every time he saved her back then.
Thinking back, she realized that Irwin always appeared just in time to save her from the danger
approaching her.
And the fact that he did that… Was it because he had ulterior motives in approaching her, as Stephen had
said?
“Nat. Nat?”
“Huh?”
Natalie was lost in her thoughts. It took Stephen calling her name several times to bring her back to
reality.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ll sort these things out as soon as possible,” Stephen said.
“Okay.” Natalie’s response was muted, and Stephen felt somewhat worried.
No matter how often Natalie had asked him, he refused to tell her. He knew that most girls could be
sensitive and paranoid at times.
In this case, Natalie was the same as Stephen.
For example, Stephen immediately lost trust in Irwin when he sensed that there was something unusual
about him. He then secretly began to Investigate and even told Natalle to stay away from Irwin.
Being a sensitive person, Natalie found it unbearable when Stephen kept silent. It was even more
Uncle
“Yes?”
“In these years, have you found it hard to trust someone?” Natalie’s tone was deep, carrying an invisible
weight.
Stephen nodded. “Yes.”
Undoubtedly!
