Rumors about Nathan Hill’s favoritism toward a mistress over his wife quickly spread through the elite circles, sparking outrage among noblewomen and debutantes. Nathan’s father had to expend significant effort to quell the damaging gossip.

Though the situation was resolved, Nathan’s reputation suffered. Frustrated and disappointed, his father rewarded Caleb, Nathan's half-brother, with control of a few more companies.

To reclaim his former glory, Nathan decided to pin all his hopes on the luxury brand company he had recently established. This endeavor was his only chance to prove his business acumen and redeem himself. Furthermore, he needed to show the world that his closeness with Victoria was purely for professional purposes.

**In Milan**

The preparation for the fashion design competition was nearing its end. Isabella had crafted numerous outfits but lacked a design catering to the upper-class market. It wasn’t because she lacked the skill, but rather because she coul

    Nathan suddenly lost control and reached out to grab Isabella, but he didn’t expect her to slap him in return. She screamed in shock, “Ah! Pervert! How dare you harass me…” Before the words fully left her mouth, several men in the shop had already stepped in to block Nathan. Taking advantage of the commotion, Isabella quickly dashed out of the store. Nathan’s face turned ashen. Though he hadn’t seen her face clearly, the voice confirmed his suspicion—it was his wife, Isabella. He desperately tried explaining to the foreigners holding him back, “I’m not a pervert! That girl just now, she’s my wife. Let me go! I need to bring her home!” The men who intervened looked at Victoria skeptically. “She’s your wife? Then who is this beside you?” Nathan was momentarily speechless. The disdain in the men’s eyes was obvious. Victoria, always eager to cling to Nathan, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. “You misunderstand. I’m his wife’s Sis, and we’re just here looking for

    Wave after wave, the applause continued, endless and fervent.Victoria grew uneasy. "Nathan, Bella’s designs are so well-received. She’ll be my biggest threat to winning the championship."Nathan’s expression darkened as he replied coldly, "As long as I’m here, no one can stop you from winning."His brooding gaze fell on Isabella, who was dressed in a modestly priced suit. His lips curled into a faint smirk. "Professor Jasmine is the founder of a luxury brand that caters exclusively to European royalty and nobility.Isabella’s designs are impressive, but her inherent humility and impoverished background won’t escape Jasmine’s discerning eye. Jasmine’s style epitomizes wealth and luxury. She would never accept a designer from such a lowly origin. Just watch. Jasmine won’t give her a high score, let alone take her as an apprentice."Victoria’s eyes lit up. "Nathan, your insight is unparalleled."She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, Bella doesn’t have the money to dress herself in lu

    "Isabella." Caught off guard, Isabella barely had time to react before Nathan had risen to his feet and strode toward her. His strong, vice-like grip clamped down on her wrist, holding her in place. Isabella stared at him coldly, her expression detached as though he were a complete stranger. Her distant gaze stabbed at him like a dagger. "Isabella, why are you in Milan? Didn’t I tell you to stay obediently in the United States?" he demanded angrily. A mocking smile tugged at Isabella’s lips. He had sent her to the U.S., and now he expected her to comply without question? Did he see her as nothing more than a thoughtless accessory to his life? Nathan hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. "Even if you wanted to come to Milan, you should have informed me beforehand." At that moment, Victoria appeared, stepping forward with a falsely concerned expression. She adopted the tone of an elder Sis, speaking down to Isabella. "Bella, do you know how worried Nathan was whe

    After speaking, Isabella turned to leave. Nathan suddenly stepped forward, his iron-like grip seizing her wrist tightly. The pain forced a sharp inhale from Isabella. "Isabella, where are you going? You have to come home with me," Nathan demanded. Isabella's cold gaze fell on his hand. Nathan had never cared for her, not even knowing that her delicate skin would bruise and bleed with just a little pressure. Under her resentful stare, Nathan realized he had used too much force and let go of her wrist. "Sorry, I lost control," he said, his demeanor returning to its usual poised elegance. Isabella rubbed her sore wrist, her face expressionless as she looked at him. "Nathan, just let me go." A flicker of pain appeared in Nathan's eyes. Once, Isabella's gaze had burned with passion when she looked at him; now, it was filled with estrangement. Where had things gone wrong? Nathan spoke with an air of dominance that brooked no argument. "Isabella, you're my wife. How can I

    Isabella took off running. However, she was short and frail, while Nathan had long legs and great stamina. With just a few strides, he nearly caught up to her. Desperate, Isabella suddenly darted across the road. A luxury sports car sped toward her, its headlights blindingly bright. Nathan's eyes widened in alarm. “Isabella—!” The car abruptly slowed down, its window lowering to reveal a beautiful young face. “Get in.” Isabella froze for a moment, unfamiliar with the girl calling out to her.But there was no time to think further. Isabella yanked open the passenger door and climbed in. As Nathan rushed over, the sports car shot off like an arrow, vanishing into the distance with Isabella inside. Standing on the roadside, Nathan clenched his fists tightly, suspicion clouding his face. *When did Isabella start associating with such wealthy people?* Suddenly, it all made sense. *No wonder she had the confidence to throw away my bank card when she went abroad. No wond

    Meanwhile, Nathan was not idle. To pave the way for Victoria’s career, he spared no expense, spending a fortune just to arrange a meeting between Victoria and Master Jasmine. After much pressure from intricate connections, Master Jasmine reluctantly agreed to meet Victoria. That day, Nathan supported Victoria as they entered Master Jasmine’s lounge. Master Jasmine sat on the sofa, and beside her, an elegant clothing rack displayed the works of both Isabella and Victoria. The moment Victoria saw Isabella’s work, her smile froze, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. Master Jasmine was direct. “Miss Victoria, both you and Miss Thea are exceptionally talented. However, after carefully comparing your works, I regret to inform you that I have decided to take Miss Thea as my apprentice.” Victoria was unwilling to accept it. “Master Jasmine, may I know where I fell short?” Master Jasmine stroked the stitching on the garment and replied, “Your temperament is impatient,

    Ava said indignantly, “You have no idea how much effort my Sis put into this competition! She hasn’t had a proper night’s sleep for an entire month. She handled every aspect of her fashion show all by herself.” Nathan froze, his emotions suddenly complicated. When Victoria prepared for her show, all she had to do was provide design sketches, and even that left her exhausted. Meanwhile, Isabella had no help—she managed everything from designing to handcrafting, a level of dedication and toil that spoke for itself. Struggling, Isabella got up and staggered into the room. “Nathan...” Nathan was stunned to see her. Just the day before, she had been vibrant and energetic. Now, she was pale and weak, barely able to stand. “How did you get so sick? Have you seen a doctor?” he asked. Isabella glared at him. “Nathan, we’re husband and wife. I just want to ask you one question, and I want an honest answer.” Nathan paused. “Go ahead.” The fact that Isabella was willing to speak

    Nathan was dumbfounded. For a moment, he almost believed that Isabella truly couldn’t wait to rid herself of him. But he quickly recovered. “Isabella, this reverse psychology game of yours won’t end well if you take it too far,” he said through gritted teeth. Isabella felt that speaking further with him was a waste of breath. “Nathan, get out. I don’t ever want to see you again.” Her face was full of resentment and heartbreak. Nathan softened his tone. “Bella, your Sis has never had grand ambitions in life. This is the only dream she’s ever had, so I had to make it come true for her.” “And what about me? This is the only dream I’ve ever had!” Isabella felt as if her heart had been torn out, the pain unbearable. Nathan averted his gaze from her stubborn expression. “Having me should be enough for you.” Isabella let out a bitter laugh. “Fine. I’ll give you to Victoria, and she can give me Master Jasmine in return. How about that?” The smile on Nathan’s face froze. “Is

    Eric returned home and only then did he realize that his mother, Hana, had already been discharged from the hospital. Ingrid's attitude towards him had become much colder. In fact, she even showed a hint of disgust towards him."Eric, where have you been hiding these days when mom had a car accident and was hospitalized?"Eric, with the postoperative sequelae, was very weak and feeble, saying, "I had a little accident..."Hana finally noticed something unusual about her son, “What's wrong with you?"Eric lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the surgical scar on his lower back. "I had my kidney taken away by someone."Hana's pupils dilated, filled with fear. "How could this happen?"Eric closed his eyes in pain and said, "This matter is hard to put into words."Ingrid, who was skilled in calculations, immediately realized that the value of Eric's utilization had been discounted."You were not feeling well now, so will you b

    Eric said, "Kassidy, please stop talking. I believe this wasn't done by you. Your character is just like your mother's, both of you are honest and kind people, who would never stoop to such despicable means."He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am getting what I deserved."Kassidy stared at Eric expressionlessly. It was strange, as once she had faced Nathan's myriad of turbulent and grand emotions, but now she was calm like dead ashes.In the end, she simply said, "I didn't mean to not save you. I truly didn't realize how difficult your situation was."With boundless hatred towards that man, Emma pleaded with Kassidy, "So now, could you please help us seek justice?" Despite the pleading tone, her voice was firm, tinged with a hint of reluctant inexperience.Kassidy stared at her coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"Emma was stunned, and then her little face turned bright red.Yeah, why did Kassidy save her?She shoul

    Emma trembled as she asked, "Which place do you want?"The man's gaze fell on Eric's waist, “Kidney."Eric couldn't help but feel a chill run through his entire body, as if every nerve was connected to his heart. A sense of unbearable despair washed over him from his heart."I disagreed," Eric roared.The man looked at him with an increasingly cold gaze, “My son was sick. He was the same age as you all, but he developed kidney failure at such a young age. The doctor said he must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he won't survive this year. I won't let him die, so I must find a suitable kidney source for him... As long as he can live, I don't care about breaking the law..."Eric shouted impatiently, "You idiot, not everyone's kidney is suitable for him. If we give him our kidney, it could cause rejection, and your son would die even faster."Snap-The man slapped Eric in the face and menacingly said, "How dare you curse my so

    The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of

    Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly.

    Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully

    Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
