Chapter 264 In the Shadows

Two years was a long time.

What exactly happened to Bianca? Why did she disappear from Simeria, and why hadn’t she contacted Natalie in two whole years?

Every time Natalie thought about Bianca, her heart couldn’t help but tighten.

She was genuinely afraid.

Countless times, she prayed that Bianca would be okay.

Leon left, leaving Natalie alone in the office.

She extended her wrist, pulling up her sleeve to reveal the scars on her arm. Her cold fingertips gently touched the uneven skin.

She vividly remembered the moment the red–hot iron rod struck her arm. She could almost hear the sizzling sound of her flesh burning.

Even now, she remembered the tearing pain in her heart at that moment.

Bang!

Someone suddenly pushed open her office door with force, and the door slammed against the wall with a deafening noise.

Natalie, who was lost in her thoughts, snapped back to reality.

She looked towards the door and saw Irwin standing there, exuding an air of sophistication that couldn’t hide the chill in his b*dy.

Seeing Irwin like this, Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. Natalie’s assistant peeked out from

behind him.

“Ms. Walker, Mr. Frazier…”

“You’re dismissed for now!”

Without waiting for the assistant to finish, Natalie interrupted her. Then, she stood up and walked towards Irwin, feeling a bit uneasy.

During this process, Irwin’s initial coldness gradually softened. He looked Natalie up and down, relieved to see her unharmed.

“Why are you here?” Natalie checked the time and noted that Irwin should be quite busy right

now.

Irwin took her hand, leading her to a side to sit down. Instead of directly answering Natalie’s
