Chapter 772
Chapter 772 Coercion While Robert was alive, he always seemed to favor Zane a lot. However, it was Icarus who always resided in the manor.
The butler led Natalie through various twists and turns, finally leading her to a pavilion garden where Icarus awaited her.
Despite having had some prior interactions, they had rarely met in person. Natalie, in particular, had always consciously avoided direct encounters with Icarus.
As a result, their face-to-face meetings had been almost non- existent.
Natalie spent a few moments
observing the man before her, She had to admit that the Entes family's men probably had very good genes, hence their absolutely extraordinary looks.
"Ms. Jarvis, you're quite a difficult woman to catch!" Icarus said as he turned around to look at her.
Although he was smiling, Natalie could see the dark glint in his eyes. The air around him was cold, and he exuded a dangerous aura like Malcolm.
"I'm sure you're a busy man, Lord Icarus. I couldn't bear to disturb you." "You're quite quick-witted, hmm?" Icarus didn't blame her. He walked to a wicker chair and sat down before gesturing to Natalie.
Although reluctant, Natalie walked over and sat down.
Icarus poured her a cup of tea, but Natalie said, "I prefer water, thank you." "Are you worried I might tamper with your tea?" Natalie looked up. She didn't respond to his question, but the implication was clear.
Icarus chuckled and said, "It's right for girls to be cautious when they're outside. Mr. Jarvis has taught you well." Natalie remained silent.
If she had taken the initiative to speak with a person like Icarus, it would have only led to countless problems. No matter what he said, she wouldn't be
interested, making it difficult to proceed with what came after.
Icarus seemed to know what Natalie was thinking, but he wasn't hurrying to do anything. When Natalie refused the tea, Icarus wasn't angry.
He clapped his hands lightly, and Natalie noticed movement in the corner of the pavilion.
After a few moments, someone pushed Christina forward.
Natalie narrowed her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Shortly after, Christina was on her knees before Natalie. She was in a sorry state. Her once well-groomed long hair was now completely cut short.
Although she looked to be in a disheveled state, Natalie could still see |
that Christina had gained quite a bit of weight.
Perhaps being in prison had improved her lifestyle, so now she looked quite different from before. Although she was extremely disheveled, her complexion was very good.
Natalie glanced meaningfully at Icarus.
There was a cold glint in her eyes as she asked, "Lord Icarus, what is the meaning of this?" A person had been thrown before her, but Natalie seemed to be completely uninterested in her.
"Do you want this person?" Icarus asked.
n n Did she want Christina?
Natalie fell silent, but her gaze towards Icarus became noticeably colder and deeper. .
When Christina saw Natalie, she glared at her, wishing to tear her apart. She was so angry, especially after seeing Natalie's beautiful appearance.
Why did she look so perfect? And what about Christina? What had she become now? Christina's heart clenched painfully when she thought about it. She hated Natalie, but she was also envious of her! Christina had suffered so much over the years, and she had gone through despair over and over again.
It was all because of Natalie, who
ruined her completely! Yet now... Natalie was here, looking so radiant and glamorous. i Eventually, Natalie asked, "What do you want, Lord Icarus?" When Christina heard how Natalie addressed Icarus, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the charming man beside her.
This man was Icarus Entes?! It was no wonder he could get her out of prison so easily! Back then, Rebecca had tried everything she could to get Christina out of prison, but it was all in vain.
When Christina had first entered prison, she thought she would soon be out and no one in Verde City could
harm her again.
But in the end, she was wrong.
Now, Christina had a gut feeling that she hadn't been brought out for | something simple. She might have been drawn into a bigger conspiracy than she thought.
Thinking of this, Christina narrowed her eyes and looked at Natalie.
Icarus smiled and said, "I want you to cut ties with Austin completely. This woman will be yours if you do that, and you can do whatever you wish to her." When Christina heard this, she paled.
Natalie could do whatever she wanted with her?!
Initially, Christina thought coming out of prison meant gaining complete freedom, but now...! —— Natalie... It was always her! Why did these men disregard everything for Natalie, especially a man from the Entes family?! "What if I refuse?" Natalie asked, not even sparing a glance at Christina.
"Only one of you can have the position of the Entes family's fifth lady, Ms.
Jarvis. What do you think about that?" Icarus asked.
Natalie fell silent, and Christina paled even further after hearing that.
Natalie frowned at the man opposite her, and her gaze turned deeper.
"Hah... Are you forcing me to choose
now, Lord Icarus?" "I'have no intention of forcing you.
Why don't you take three days to think it over?" Natalie scoffed. "No need for that. I'll give you an answer right now." As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Christina, who shivered upon hearing Natalie's words. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The Entes family's fifth lady! That was a position countless women dreamed of, especially because the Entes family was the most powerful family in Simeria! Christina had never dared to think she could ever stand in such a position before. In the past, she could only pray that Rebecca would give her a good home as she had been a good daughter
to her.
After knowing that the man beside her was from the Entes family, Christina felt as if the heavens had blessed her.
However, she might not necessarily obtain the position Icarus was offering because of Natalie...! With that thought in mind, Christina turned back and stared intensely at Natalie. Her heart had leaped to her throat as she waited for Natalie to answer Icarus. She knew how important the position of the Entes family's fifth lady was.
Once Natalie made her choice, Christina could already imagine the consequences that awaited her! Christina had been in prison for years.
So, she knew how influential the Entes family was, but she had no idea what
was happening in Simeria.
As she nervously watched Natalie, her heart tightened incessantly! ~~ Natalie looked at Icarus and asked, "How did you know this person is important to me, Lord Icarus?"
