From Bianca's calm tone, Natalie could probably tell how Bianca had resisted when she endured all of that.
And Malcolm already hated her!
So, her resistance undoubtedly enraged him like a wild beast, making him even more ruthless.
In that kind of cruelty, Bianca went from initial resistance to eventual compromise. But, of course, it wasn't a genuine compromise.
It was... turning into the same kind of beast as him. By his side, she lurked in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike!
When Bianca became the seventh lady of the Entes family, Malcolm was probably shocked and furious, right?
Bianca was never one to surrender!
Even if she temporarily yielded, she would never abandon her pride. She would find a way to turn the tables...!
As Bianca said, everything she had was destroyed by that man.
So, how could she just let it go like that?
Previously, what Natalie saw was that Malcolm wouldn't let Bianca go unpunished.
But now, Natalie saw that Bianca... would never let Malcolm go unpunished either.
Malcolm destroyed everything Bianca had!
So she... would crush everything important to him.
"All right, we agreed not to talk about these things. Let's see if the arrangement is better than the ones you did before," Bianca said with a smile to Natalie.
However, at that moment, Natalie's heart clenched painfully.
"Stop it!"
She grabbed the flowers and scissors from Bianca's hands.
But the next moment, Bianca calmly took them back.
"Give them to me."
"Bia!" Natalie's tone became stern.
"I want to remember," Bianca said.
That was right!
She wanted to remember.
She insisted on doing every single thing she had learned while at Malcolm's side. Even though she felt choked every time she did those things, why did she persist?
Because she wanted to remember!
She wanted to remember how Malcolm gradually dismantled her pride. And how he turned her into more and more of a canary in a birdcage.
She was waiting! She had always been waiting.
Doing these things now was suffocating, but she was also waiting for the day when she could do them without feeling this way.
Natalie felt for Bianca as she looked at Bianca's serene and elegant demeanor.
These were the deepest marks on Bianca's soul. These were memories she couldn't erase. These memories also made her understand how she lost everything.
"Can you see clearly now?" Bianca asked Natalie.
Natalie nodded. "Yes."
Her heart felt heavy! Being with Bianca used to be the best feeling in the world.
But now...?
Bianca was bearing too much burden.
Natalie hoped all of this would pass soon. Only when it truly passed could Bianca return to her normal self.
However, could one truly return to their normal self?
Even if all of this came to a complete end, the traces left in Bianca's world would still be vivid!
It was the same as what happened with Natalie!
Natalie stayed for lunch at Verdant Villa. Throughout the morning, Natalie sensed various changes in Bianca.
It was no wonder that everyone, including Stephen, said that the Entes family was like an abyss.
Then, she continued, "Nat, do you remember if anything important happened between Cedric and Isabella?"
"The affair!" Natalie blurted out without hesitation.
What else could it be?
Other than that, there was only the matter concerning Ivan!
Natalie didn't know all the details. Regardless of what happened, she knew that was the reason Cedric never let go of Isabella.
"Seriously... Do you still believe there's anything between them?" Bianca asked.
"It doesn't matter anymore," Natalie slowly said as she stared at Bianca.
Natalie's words were heavy and indifferent. From her tone, Bianca could sense that Natalie had completely let go of Cedric.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Natalie continued, "Bia, when that incident with Luna happened, he became nothing in my world."
No, it was even earlier than that!
At the moment when the detention center burned down, Cedric truly meant nothing in her world. The entanglement afterward was just Cedric's wishful thinking.
"Blair is the most important person in his world, right?" Natalie murmured softly, unsure if she was speaking to herself or Bianca.
Whether it was her or Isabella, they couldn't compare to Blair in Cedric's heart, could they?
That was right. They couldn't.
At that moment, Bianca didn't know what to say anymore. Initially, Natalie had already given up on Cedric completely, but now... after knowing about Blair, their relationship seemed to be even more hopeless.
Bianca looked into Natalie's eyes. "Do you know whose eyes you received?"
"I don't know. Cly told me they're from a donor who has already passed away."
Bianca fell silent.
When she heard this, there was a suffocating feeling in Bianca's chest.
Even though Cedric had said such absurd things at the time, the brightness in Natalie's eyes right now was truly reminiscent of that man!
Even though there were some things Cedric couldn't let go of, Natalie was undoubtedly the most important person in his heart!
