Chapter 85
Thea, however, suddenly took off her glasses. Her beautiful eyes, enhanced by light makeup, were exceptionally bright and radiant, but at this moment, they were filled with anger and a glimmer of resentment.
"Are you going to hit me?" She took a step forward, offering her stubborn face to Nathan's fist. Nathan was taken aback by her cold gaze and slowly released his grip.
"A pair of bickering old folks," Thea cursed through gritted teeth.
Victoria saw Nathan being humiliated, and she stepped forward, saying, "Bella, we are family, and family doesn't hold grudges. It's not wise for you to go against us. After all, Nathan has prospered, and it benefits you too. If he loses his power, you won't have any backing either."
She reached out to hold Isabella's hand, but Isabella withdrew.
"Don't touch me, I'm not familiar with you," Isabella said in a distant and indifferent tone.
Victoria stood there and cried pitifully, "Are you still hating me? Are you? Bella, I am your sister, your own flesh and blood. I admit that both Nathan and I have wronged you, but you have also retaliated against us. Not only were we exposed on the internet, but I also lost my child. Bella, we are even now. I don't owe you anything."
Isabella had a look of indifference. "It's such a pity that you didn't go into acting," she said casually. Victoria's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom in an instant. "Bella, did I say something wrong...?" Isabella looked at him as if she were looking at a national treasure. "The death of your child is a result of your own wrongdoing, a punishment from God. Being exposed on the internet is a consequence of your own immoral behavior. Your tragedy is a result of your own lack of virtue, what does it have to do with me? And my tragedy, on the other hand, is caused by all of you..."
Victoria trembled and her face turned pale. "How did you become so heartless now?"
Nathan suddenly pulled Victoria behind him and angrily reproached Isabella, "Isabella, I know why you have become so arrogant. Isn't it because you have hooked up with Mr. Sanchez? But you are so foolish. Do you really think that a noble gentleman like Mr. Sanchez would truly love a divorced, single mother like you? He is only using you to climb up the social ladder, so he will stop at nothing and manipulate your emotions just to exploit you. Once he is done using you, he will kick you aside, and don't come crying back to me then."
Thea slapped Nathan hard across the face.
"Ah?" Victoria exclaimed in a panic.
Nathan petrified like a statue, he stared at Isabella in disbelief.
"Did you dare to hit me?"
Isabella angrily exclaimed, "Who shamelessly turned me into a second wife? Who made me have a miscarriage? Nathan, you fucking turned me into trash and yet question if I deserve true love. How did I not realize before that you are such a disgusting piece of garbage?"
Nathan got up and straightened his clothes. Then, clenching his fist, he approached Isabella with a sinister expression on his face. His chest heaved heavily, clearly indicating his extreme anger. Anyone could see that he wanted to take action.
So Theo walked over quickly.
He shielded Thea behind him, saying, "The prince wouldn't want to hit a woman, would he?" Nathan exclaimed angrily, "She deserved a beating."
Theo sighed and said, "My lord, when you brought her home, she was just an innocent and defenseless
little white rabbit. But now she has become a hedgehog covered in thorns. My lord should reflect on how he pushed her to this point."
Nathan's tall figure swayed, but Theo's mockery made him shamefully recall the beginning of him and Isabella.
He vaguely remembered the day when he brought Isabella back to the Hill family...
He said, "In the future, I will give you a stable home."
She held him with a smile as bright as flowers and tenderly said, "Brother, you are so good to me, I will repay you well."
But his and Isabella's home was in ruins.
At the export again, Nathan's tone was filled with guilt and an attempt to please. "Isabella, my only mistake was not loving you. But feelings cannot be forced. Isabella, please let me go and stop clinging onto me. I will send you abroad, away from Capital, so you can start anew and be happy, how about that?"
Thea sneered, "Who do you think you are to me? Why do you think you have the right to plan my life for me?"
Nathan excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "So how can you leave my world? Isabella, your presence has greatly affected my life and career."
Thea stared at him expressionlessly and said, "Have you ever considered that I did it on purpose?" Nathan looked at the sneer in Isabella's eyes, and he weakly let go of her hand.
He finally realized that the present Isabella was no longer the innocent and ignorant little girl he used to control. She had become the big tiger he personally fattened.
If she wasn't careful, she would eat him.
"Did you deliberately steal my business?"
Thea's smile was meaningful.
She pulled Theo away.
As she passed by Victoria, she heard Victoria timidly reminding her, "Bella, you mustn't do anything foolish. The scions of aristocratic families would never marry a divorced woman."
Thea stopped, turned around, and her gaze fell upon her wedding ring.
A huge diamond, worth a fortune.
The wedding ring Nathan gave her that year had a diamond as small as a grain of rice.
Thea laughed and said, "Ms. Moore, guess how Mrs. Hill would treat you if she found out that you secretly kidnapped her precious son?"
Victoria's face turned pale. She
deliberately ran her fingers through her long hair, adorned with a wedding ring. "Bella, you don't need to worry about my sister's affairs: It doesn't matter whether I marry into a wealthy family or not. As long as Nathan loves me, that's all that matters."
"What a lovely tea house," Theo exclaimed.
Victoria flinched as she was stabbed.
Theo and Thea left with a smile.
Victoria heard the voices of the two people openly discussing her.
Theo. "Sister, she clearly wasn't as beautiful as you, not as elegant, and she even smelled strongly of tea. It's unfair that you lost to her."
Thea. "Some people just can't resist being nosy."
Theo. "No, it was necessary to find food in the garbage dump."
Thea. "It was right for them to lock him up, to prevent harm to other innocent people."
"Hahaha."
Victoria clenched her fists in anger.
"Nathan, they were cursing at me," she pouted to Nathan.
Nathan's face turned pale, and his mood was far from good.
"Let's go."
Victoria's anger did not diminish in the slightest until Nathan and Victoria walked out of the Sanchez mansion.
"That's outrageous. Isabella was completely out of control."
"How could she humiliate us like that?"
Nathan lost both the opportunity to
open a store and the chance to collaborate on core technology. His career suffered a major setback, and he had no mood to care about Isabella's insults. en FindNovel
"Compared to insulting us, her retaliatory strike against me was truly vicious," Nathan said weakly.
