Can't Win Me Back Chapter 26
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. “I

Isabella’s eyes sparkled with determination as she said firmly, “Though I never had the privilege of being one of Master Jasmine’s in-person students, in my heart, she will always be my mentor.” “I will never forget the encouragement she gave me back then...” Isabella took out a gift Master Jasmine had given her years ago. Master Jasmine was astonished. “It’s you?” She examined Isabella in disbelief. “It’s been years, and you’ve grown into such an outstanding designer.” Isabella smiled bashfully. “It’s all thanks to the inspirational words you gifted me back then that I was able to find my way again.” Master Jasmine froze for a moment, then her eyes reddened as she choked up. “Thea, I genuinely admire you. If you hadn’t given up on this path, I believe we would have been the most in-sync mentor-student pair in the world.” Isabella’s face turned pale. “Master, what do you mean by that? I’ve never abandoned my dream of becoming a fashion designer.” Master Jasmine was stu

Isabella was speechless. What was the meaning of Victoria sending her a text message from Nathan's phone? Was she trying to show off how much Nathan dotes on her?Heh, pretending to be fragile and helpless, yet scheming all along.Nathan fell for her act, and so did her parents, but Isabella wasn’t going to indulge her."Using my husband's phone to send me a message, trying to prove that your green tea act is pure and authentic? Victoria, besides Nathan, no one else will drink that stinky, suffocating green tea of yours."After sending the message, Isabella felt that it was all rather pointless and tossed the phone aside. Then, she wrapped herself up in her blankets and fell into a deep sleep.When Victoria saw the unrelenting sarcasm in Isabella's response, her face turned pale with shock.She hadn’t expected the usually docile Isabella to fight back so viciously, using such harsh words.Victoria had only wanted Isabella to understand that Nathan truly loved her, to make her step asi

Isabella sat at the sewing machine, skillfully guiding the needle through fabric.Glancing up, she caught sight of Victoria and Nathan standing close together. Seeing their bodies pressed together, a mocking smile spread across her face.They were always flaunting their love, weren't they?Luckily, she had already stopped loving that scumbag. Otherwise, how painful would her heart have been?Nathan, noticing the mocking look in Isabella's eyes, seemed to realize that his actions were a bit too much. He quickly pulled away from Victoria."Bella, who are you making clothes for?"Nathan looked at the gray fabric on the sewing machine, clearly men's material, and his cold expression softened. He was sure that Isabella was making clothes for him.Isabella, however, didn’t answer him.Victoria chimed in, "Nathan, it’s obvious she’s making it for you. I told you, my little Sis loves you the most. She’s making you a new outfit for the New Year."Nathan reached out, feeling the fabric. He look

Isabella’s voice was icy. "Being reasonable and not letting things slide? It’s better than causing a scene for no reason."Victoria choked back a sob. "Sis, we came here today to invite you to my celebration party. I really hope you can come, but if you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I just really want to share my joy with you."With that, Victoria handed her an invitation and staggered away.Nathan stood still, looking at Victoria, then at Isabella, finally letting out a sigh as he went after Victoria.His choice had always been Victoria.Isabella casually tossed the invitation into the fire.The sharp smell of burning plastic quickly filled every corner of the room.Victoria and Nathan, still near the door, turned back in shock. Seeing the invitation engulfed by flames, both of them wore expressions of disbelief.After all, the old Isabella would have eagerly attended every event, just to steal a few more glances at Nathan.Nathan’s eyes darkened, and with suppressed anger, he sp

A smile involuntarily tugged at the corners of Isabella's lips."Milan Club?"Victoria's celebration party was also held at the largest Milan Club in the city. Some of the most prominent local entrepreneurs, out of respect for Nathan’s status, attended to show support for Victoria. Nathan’s close friends also made the effort to come from afar, giving Victoria ample face.Nathan had booked a luxurious VIP room at the hotel and hired many famous singers and dancers to perform lively songs and dances in the hall.Victoria looked around at the festive and bustling scene, her eyes welling up with emotion.She clung to Nathan’s arm. "Nathan, thank you for throwing this celebration for me. I’m so happy."Nathan gazed at Victoria with tenderness. Even though Victoria had her makeup on, her exhaustion was still evident. He recalled the doctor’s words: although her kidney transplant had been successful, her body had been frail for a long time, and there were concerns her single kidney might not

Victoria resumed her lecturing tone, taking on the role of the older Sis. "Bella, you spent so much money on the Newcomer Competition, it must have been a loan, right? You still haven’t paid off your debts, and now you're spending so lavishly at the most expensive club in Milan. You’re going to accumulate a lot of debt this way. You know, Dad's company hasn't been doing well these past two years, and it’s not making much profit. He doesn't have the money to help you pay off your debts."Isabella looked at Victoria indifferently. "He doesn’t have money to help me pay off my debts, but he has money to help you get a kidney transplant. Is that right?"Tears rolled down Victoria’s face. "Bella, I didn’t want to use Dad’s money…""Then why don't you just die? If you die, you won’t drag the Moore family down, will you?"Isabella could no longer tolerate Victoria’s self-righteousness.*Slap…*Nathan's slap landed hard on Isabella’s face, like a wild beast, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he

She had no choice but to wear a false mask, responding to him with feigned politeness:“At that time, I had just donated a kidney, my health wasn’t good. How could I possibly conceive and give birth?”Nathan didn’t press the issue any further. After all, he had no expectations of having a child with Isabella.“It’s better you didn’t have the child. A mother like you, so irresponsible, doesn’t deserve to bear my child.”His words stung, and Isabella clenched her hand into a fist under her sleeve, her nails digging into her skin. But when her eyes caught the smug look on Victoria’s face, she suddenly deflated.She forced herself to adopt a fake, sweet smile. “Hubby, if I don’t have children, you’ll end up without heirs.”Nathan was furious, but Victoria was unbothered. “Isabella, these days, what successful man doesn’t have a few charming women on the side? What successful man doesn’t have a few illegitimate children?”Isabella smiled calmly, her tone sharp as she retorted, “Oh, but the

Nathan was so angry his blood rushed to his head. He stood up and rushed upstairs, with Victoria following closely behind.When they reached the top, they discovered that Isabella had placed a video speaker at the hallway entrance, where it was playing a street dance tutorial video, accompanied by loud, energetic rock music.Isabella, dressed in a dance outfit, was moving her body to the beat, but her movements were awkward and uncoordinated.Nathan’s face darkened as he walked over and immediately turned off the speaker.Isabella was about to lash out in anger, but upon seeing Victoria standing behind Nathan, she quickly turned her frustration into a smile. “Hubby, I’m getting in shape. Once I’m fit, let’s have a baby.”She said this as she walked over to Nathan, naturally taking his arm with a sweet, loving gesture.Victoria’s face twisted in displeasure.Her mouth opened several times, but she couldn’t find the right words. Finally, she closed her lips, unable to speak due to her e

Guillermo’s gaze, sharp as a venomous snake, was fixed on Theodore. The moment Theodore entered Isabella’s guest room, Guillermo’s temper flared up instantly.“Who’s staying in that room?” he asked suspiciously.“Sir,” the assistant leaned in and whispered into Guillermo’s ear. “The one staying in there is the young lady you asked us to inquire about.”Guillermo’s mind immediately flashed with the image of a fashionable woman. A strong sense of jealousy seeped into his voice: “How does he know her?”The assistant replied, “Who knows?”Theodore knocked on the guest room door, and Ava opened it for him.“Ava, where’s my Sis?” Theodore asked.Ava looked frustrated. “She went back to the Hill family.”Theodore’s expression tightened, and he asked, his voice tinged with barely contained anger: “She still can’t forget about him? He’s just a dog, why’s she still thinking about him after all this time?”Ava shook his head. “No, it’s not like that. She went back to gather evidence.”“Evidence?

Isabella took a bite of her pizza and casually glanced at Nathan. “You, born with a golden key, eating abalone and bear paws every day—aren’t you enjoying life even more than I am?”Nathan: “...”“Can you even compare with me?”Nathan muttered under his breath, his voice low but still full of arrogance, which irritated Isabella. She frowned.She gave him a disdainful look. “Am I missing a heart? Or maybe an eye? Nathan, we’re both human beings, so be kind. We’re equals. You’re not more noble than I am.”Nathan was taken aback, but his handsome face darkened immediately. “Sharp-tongued. If you’re so capable, stop being a parasite.”Isabella retorted, “I’m your wife. Your income is half mine. I’m using your money, and it’s completely legal. If you don’t like me being a parasite, then why don’t you divorce me?”Nathan choked on his words, stunned by her boldness. He had never imagined that the Isabella who used to be so pliable would now defend her interests so fiercely with the law.He

Isabella didn’t plan to stay at the Hill household permanently, so she packed only the bare essentials.It didn’t take long for her to settle in, and she sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.She needed to find a way to quickly gather evidence of Nathan's infidelity; only then would she have any leverage to negotiate a divorce.However, Nathan was a typical idealist. He loved Victoria, and although his love was passionate and maddening to others, Isabella had never personally witnessed any solid evidence of their illicit relationship.It seemed that she would have to do something to expose the truth.Isabella took out her phone, then went to the guest bedroom, lay down on the bed, and snapped several pictures. She arranged them in a nine-square grid and posted them on her social media, visible only to Victoria.Her caption read: *“Thanks to my husband for decorating this room for me. It's so romantic. I really like it.”*With the post complete, she returned to her room and wait

Nathan’s handsome face was as cold as ice.It was an insult. A tremendous, shameful insult. A beggar with nothing to her name actually preferred to leave him with nothing rather than stay married.Nathan felt a surge of blood rushing to his head."Isabella, I don’t agree to the divorce," he said, his voice dark with rage.He hung up the phone, slamming it down.Isabella’s negotiation had failed, and her mood was deeply depressed.She curled up in a corner of the sofa and picked up her phone, posting on various forums: *I want to divorce my scumbag husband who keeps a mistress, but he refuses to divorce me. Any advice?*Before long, the replies began piling up.While the comments were mixed, there were some insightful suggestions among them. One comment stood out the most:*“Since the scumbag loves his mistress, things should be easier. As long as you can stomach it and pretend to be affectionate with him, I guarantee the mistress will get uncomfortable and cause a scene. Let her help

Ava snorted, "This man is truly a businessman. Even when he does something kind, he calculates it all clearly. Had I known he was this type of person, I wouldn't have cared about the little favors he offered."Isabella thought for a moment, then said, "If he won't divorce me, then I'll have to resort to legal means."Ava replied, "But a divorce lawsuit is a long battle. You hate him so much, but you'll have to face him every day. Won’t that be torturous?"Isabella thought about it, then endured the immense physical and emotional discomfort and said, "Then I'll just have a good talk with him."Isabella chose to call Nathan after 9 PM, knowing that this was the time he would likely be free.The phone rang twice before someone picked up."Hello, who is this?"A soft, coquettish voice—it was none other than Victoria.Isabella froze for a moment. "Put Nathan on the phone."Hearing her younger Sis’s voice, Victoria was clearly startled. She couldn’t speak for a while.After a long pause, sh

Isabella couldn't help but chuckle, "I'll come over once I finish what I need to do."Theodore was overjoyed. "Sis, I'll wait for you."The rest of the banquet went very smoothly.In the past, the Sanchez family’s gatherings mainly involved people from the business circles. However, this time, prominent figures from the elite social and cultural circles were also invited. These big shots, who were usually out of reach for the business crowd, held the power to control the economic lifeblood of the business world.As the saying goes, “refined and popular tastes can coexist,” and their presence seemed to cleanse the air of the usual commercial vulgarity.The businessmen at the venue scrambled to flatter these influential figures. Guillermo’s invited guests, it seemed, had all turned against him and were now fawning over Theodore.Guillermo and Mrs. Sanchez were left out in the cold, seething with anger.In a corner, the Sanchez family patriarch and his son stood among the crowd, with the

Guillermo was dumbfounded.Theodore said, “This is some authentic antique. A few years ago, it sold for billions at auction. This is the cheapest piece of calligraphy in the venue.”“Big Brother, why don’t you guess who owns this priceless original?”Upon hearing this, Guillermo was completely dumbstruck.“This is impossible. How could you have gotten such an expensive piece of calligraphy?”Theodore glanced at Nathan and Victoria, his eyes cold. “So, get your troublesome friends out of here. I don’t welcome troublemakers.”Both Nathan and Victoria’s faces turned ashen, darker than liver.Guillermo quickly reassured Nathan, “They’re important guests I invited...”Theodore ignored him completely and walked straight up to Isabella. His cold demeanor instantly softened as he said, “Sis, thank you for coming across the ocean to attend my coming-of-age ceremony.”Isabella cleared her throat, her voice a little hoarse, “I can finally rest easy.”Theodore was no longer the defenseless, helpl
