Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan)

Even though Nathan usually doesn't go online, he could sense something was amiss from the strange looks people around him gave him. His employees no longer showed him the same respect as before, and those who used to flock around and flatter him had all disappeared, like a receding tide.

He had to exert a great deal of effort to remove the hot topics from the trending list. Strangely, just a few days after the hot topics subsided, new ones about him kept emerging one after another.

Due to the huge impact, his business partners, fearing they might be implicated, subtly expressed their intention to decline contract renewals. The stock market value of the Hill family was also gradually evaporating.

Nathan was in a constant state of distress every day.

Alaric, who regarded his career as his life, was extremely furious. He vented his anger on Mrs. Hill. At the breakfast table one morning, Alaric threw a bowl of hot porridge in Mrs. Hill's face and roared furiously, "Look at what a great son you've raised. See what he's done? For that half-dead woman, he actually sued his own wife in court."

Mrs. Hill, still not seeing the situation clearly, defended Nathan, "Honey, it's Isabella who's being too pushy. She wants a divorce and also take away the money from Nathan. But what right does she have to Nathan's money? She's good-for-nothing, doesn't earn a single penny. Nathan has supported her for so many years, and she's ungrateful..."

Alaric was so angry that he slapped her, "Fine, very fine. As you said, you don't go out to work every day, just go shopping. I shouldn't give you money either, right?"

Only when a stone hits oneself can one know the pain.

Mrs. Hill was stunned.

"Honey, that's not what I meant..."

"You're even worse than Isabella. Isabella was willing to give her kidney to Nathan. Isabella would cook and wash clothes for Nathan with her own hands. As a daughter-in-law, she was gentle, respectful, and virtuous. Yet Nathan treated her so harshly. And you, a useless person who can't do anything right but always mess things up, shouldn't I kick you out of the house?"

Alaric's anger reached its peak, and finally he blurted out, "Let's get a divorce."

Mrs. Hill slumped to the ground in a sorry state, crying and hugging Alaric's leg, "Honey, I was wrong. I'll make Nathan break up with Victoria right away. I promise they won't have any contact in the future."

Alaric gritted his teeth and said, "The child in Victoria's belly is Nathan's, right? How do you expect them to cut off relations?"

Mrs. Hill gritted her teeth and said viciously, "I'll find a way to persuade Victoria to abort the child."

Alaric snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

In the following days, Alaric didn't come home again.

Mrs. Hill knew he had gone to his other home.

She felt her position was precarious.

Finally, she decided to get rid of Victoria, this stumbling block.

One day, Mrs. Hill invited Victoria to her private workshop, and Victoria went there happily.

She came to Mrs. Hill's lounge and presented the gift she had carefully prepared for Mrs. Hill. "Auntie, your birthday is coming up in a few days..."

Before she could finish her flattering words, Mrs. Hill interrupted her coldly, "Victoria, I asked you to come today because I hope you can keep your distance from my Nathan."

She threw a stack of money at Victoria.

Victoria's face turned pale with shock. She trembled and said, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Hill said, "You've seen it too. Because of your persistent pursuit of Nathan, he's done so many irrational things and is now in utter ruin. So, I hope you'll be sensible and leave him."

Victoria saw the determination in Mrs. Hill's eyes and knelt down with a thud, "Auntie, Nathan and I truly love each other. And I have Nathan's child in my belly. Both the child and I can't live without Nathan..." "Abort it," Mrs. Hill said.

Victoria was as if struck by lightning, and her eyes were filled with only a black-and-white void.

She looked at Mrs. Hill in disbelief, "But that's the eldest grandson of your Hill family. Auntie, haven't you always been looking forward to having a grandson?"

Mrs. Hill said with a straight face, "Any woman can bear the eldest grandson of the Hill family, just not you."

Victoria was so shocked that she was trembling.

"Victoria, I've arranged everything for you at St. Peter's Hospital. You'd better have the operation as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless." After saying that, Mrs. Hill left resolutely.

Victoria cried her heart out.

Helplessness, despair, panic, and fear all overwhelmed her.

At this moment, she no longer had her previous arrogance. She finally realized that she had lost completely.

"Isabella, it's all your fault. I'll never forgive you," she said, gritting her teeth resentfully.

Towards evening, Nathan dragged his heavy steps and returned to the Hill family villa.

Recently, there were many problems in the company, and he could only go home to discuss solutions with Alaric.

Alaric wasn't there. Mrs. Hill was sitting alone on the sofa, looking haggard with sallow skin, indicating that she hadn't had a good rest.

Nathan sat down next to Mrs. Hill and took the initiative to chat with her, "Mom, where's Dad?"

Mrs. Hill lazily lifted her eyelids, and a look of disappointment shot through the narrow slits of her eyes. She didn't answer him and chose to close her eyes.

Nathan was stunned. His mother, who had always doted on him, had shown such cold eyes to him for the first time.

Nathan turned his gaze to the nanny.

The nanny sighed and told him an astonishing piece of news, "Sir, a few days ago, Mr.Hill had an

argument with Mrs. Hill and even hit her. He hasn't come home since then.'

Nathan was shocked into a statue - like state.

"How dare he hit my mom?" he said indignantly.

In his opinion, Alaric had had an affair outside for years, making Mrs. Hill suffer a lot. He should be considerate of his mother.

Mrs. Hill suddenly opened her eyes and roared angrily, "How dare he? Of course, it's because I gave birth to a useless son.

"Because my life is not as good as that woman outside. Her son is promising, so she enjoys status because of her son. But my son is useless, so your dad wants to kick me out..."

Nathan was rooted to the spot, "Dad wants to divorce you?"

Mrs. Hill was so angry that she pounded Nathan with her fists like raindrops, "You good - for - nothing. You had a good life but insisted on getting involved with that sickly woman. en FindNovel

"To save that sickly woman, you even tricked sabella into marriage. Now Isabella has taken revenge on you thoroughly. Your dad is

extremely disappointed in you and takes his anger out on me. Qur good days are coming to an end.

Nathan felt very bad. His arrogant mother had never been so dispirited. He said apologetically, "Mom,

don't worry. I'll find a way to restore my reputation."

Mrs. Hill said weakly, "If you want to restore your reputation and prove your innocence, there's only one way: break up with Victoria completely."

Nathan was like being stung by a wasp, and his eagle - like eyes shrank.
