Chapter 896
Chapter 896 Women Who Call the Shots The next day, Nancy woke up early to make breakfast for Bianca. The milk tasted sweeter than usual, showing how even a single person could make bland milk taste so good.
She really enjoyed it! As Bianca savored the food, she said, "Nancy, you have great cooking skills. It's a pity you don't have your own restaurant." I If she were a man, having such a diligent girl like Nancy would truly be a stroke of luck for the family for generations to come.
Nancy replied confidently, "I'll have my own restaurant someday." Bianca's words boosted Nancy's spirits even more.
It felt like the path ahead was bright and clear! But thinking about their troubles now, Bianca couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Nancy, who was kind and hardworking.
I Ever since leaving Simeria, Bianca swore she never wanted anything to do with the people from that place for the rest of her life. And she absolutely refused to bow down to any man from the Entes family.
But now, she had seen Nancy's aspirations for the future and the hope shining in her eyes.
So, after the snowplow had cleared the road, Bianca bundled up in a thick coat and went out.
Before leaving, she instructed Nancy, "Don't open the door for anyone.” "Okay." "And..." Bianca looked at Nancy, still somewhat worried.
Based on Bianca's previous understanding of Nancy's scoundrel husband, who knows what trouble he might cause if he discovered that Nancy was here? Nancy earnestly looked at Bianca.
Taking a deep breath, Bianca said, "Even if he
bangs on the door and breaks the windows, it doesn't matter." In short, no matter what John did, Bianca expected Nancy not to open the door.
Nancy obediently nodded.
Bianca gently touched her face, feeling a pang of pain. Despite her young age, she had been married for several years and had suffered greatly in this marriage.
Suddenly, Bianca asked, "How old are you?" "Twenty-four!" : Bianca's heart felt even heavier at that.
Twenty-four?! iF What was Bianca doing when she was twenty- four? She was still studying in school and fighting for her future.
People had different lives and destinies! "Be good and stay home, okay?" "Okay."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Then, Bianca turned and got into the car.
The snowplow had just passed, so the road was in good condition. Regardless, Bianca still drove cautiously. She had Natalie look up where Malcolm was currently staying.
She drove straight towards Snow Peak. She didn't expect Malcolm to be living just across the mountain from her village. Despite being so close, it took nearly an hour to drive there.
When she arrived, it seemed Malcolm had already received word, and Horatio was waiting outside.
As she stepped out of the car, Horatio respectfully approached. "Ms. Sanders." Bianca asked, "Is he in?" "He's been waiting for you since he knew you were coming." At his words, a hint of danger flickered in Bianca's eyes.
Hearing Horatio speak like that made her feel
her privacy had been under constant scrutiny.
It made her uncomfortable.
Horatio also sensed Bianca's discomfort and wanted to say something, but the words didn't come out.
Bianca and Malcolm had been at odds for quite some time now.
Malcolm had been ruthless in injuring her.
Winning her back wouldn't be easy, even if he spent a fortune, Unlike the village atmosphere, this place oozed luxury, just like its owner.
There were lions in the courtyard eating, a scene that disgusted Bianca.
Though she had once held a high position, she had never liked extravagance. So, Malcolm's lavishness was particularly repugnant to her.
A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes when Malcolm saw Bianca come in.
"I had someone make you hot cocoa." The man approached, wanting to take her cold
hand, seeing her red cheeks from the cold.
But the next moment, Bianca instinctively pulled away, her displeasure evident in her eyes at his touch.
Malcolm's hand hung in the air awkwardly.
Turning away, Bianca sat down.
"It seems you still haven't figured out how to talk to me!" His tone cooled a few degrees.
Even Faye had been obedient to him all those years ago. I But Bianca had never listened to him from the start. At first, he found it intriguing, but his patience wore thin over time.
Bianca gave him a cold glance and mocked, * Seems like you're quite hypocritical!" "Bianca." "There are plenty of obedient women in the world. Why waste time on me?"
Bianca's patience had finally reached its limit.
She had constantly tolerated his intrusion into her life, and now she finally responded directly.
However, this wasn't the response Malcolm wanted. I A hint of fire flickered in his eyes, but he I struggled to suppress it.
"You have a noble status yet willingly act as a scoundrels lawyer? It seems I overestimated you before!" Bianca exclaimed.
Indeed, Bianca had never imagined someone of his status would act as a scoundrel's legal representative.
She had only wanted to help Nancy.
If the man in question continued to refuse to cooperate, not only would Bianca fail to assist Nancy, but she would also cause problems for her. Nancy had placed all of her trust in Bianca, and now, Bianca was more aware of the situation than anyone else.
This time, it wasn't just about winning a
lawsuit.
It was about winning... a life.
If it were anyone else, Bianca wouldn't have been afraid. But when she found out that Malcolm was the opposing lawyer, she knew it wasn't just trouble she was facing this time.
If this man withdrew, the lawsuit would have a hundred percent chance of success. After all, she hadn't gotten any good results every time before because of him.
Bianca wasn't afraid of him. It was just that she couldn't afford to lose this lawsuit.
Malcolm looked at her coldly, and Bianca said, "Must you do this?" When those words came out of her mouth, they seemed like a joke! Indeed, what Malcolm was doing now was not just a joke to Bianca. Even others would think he must be sick to make such a choice.
Seeing the mockery in Bianca's eyes, Malcolm said, "I've told you, you can't escape my grasp!"
Enough! Since she couldn't peacefully stay away from him and desperately wanted to escape, he would keep her close by any means necessary! Bianca's silence finally drove Malcolm completely insane. He had already let go of everything for her, so he was even more determined to have her.
Since she couldn't stay away, he didn't mind using the most extreme means to keep her by his side.
When Bianca heard those words, a chilling glare flashed in her eyes. The danger emanating from her grew increasingly stronger.
She looked at Malcolm as though she wanted to tear him apart! The two locked eyes in a standoff.
For a long time, they stood staring fiercely at each other, neither willing to back down an inch.
