Can't Win Me Back Chapter 43
After stepping into the hotel room, Isabella couldn’t wait any longer and instructed Ava, “Ava, take out the most expensive fabric from the suitcase. I need to rush to make a formal suit for Theo. He must not become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial Capital.” Ava didn’t dare delay for a moment. She swiftly prepared the fabric, needles, scissors, drafting paper, and drawing tools. Isabella quickly sketched out a few designs. “Ava, which one do you think looks best?” Ava admired every design with awe. “Sis, as long as it’s designed by you, they’re all stunning.” Isabella recalled how, in her previous life, she had seen Theodore at a banquet. Back then, he wore a black suit, exuding a cold, ascetic aura that made him untouchable and distant. Standing among the scions of noble families, he was extraordinary, outshining the group of rich second-generation heirs. Now, though still young, his masculine features must have mostly matured. Recently, he had even reported his hei

**Should She Be Grateful to Him?**She often wondered, without Nathan, what would her fate be? Would she continue to stay at the bottom of society, or would her stubbornness help her carve out a path to success?For a long time, she regarded Nathan as her salvation, revering him as if he were a god.But now, after witnessing the harsh realities of the world, after unconditionally supporting countless helpless orphans and widows, her thoughts began to waver.She even found herself deeply repelled by the way Nathan had "saved" her.Because his ulterior motives did not deserve the respect she had once had for him.He wasn’t a philanthropist; he was a fraud.This truth was a painful, unspoken ache in Isabella’s heart.Divorce was imminent.**The Next Day**At the entrance to the Hill family villa.Isabella had changed into plain clothes and was barefaced, looking slightly worn out after staying up all night. She appeared at the Hill family's doorstep, completely unprepared.But someone ha

Mrs. Hill fell silent.Victoria comforted Mrs. Hill, "Auntie, don't be upset. Actually, things are good just the way they are. Although I’m not legally married to Nathan, in my heart, he is the man I want to spend my life with. I will love him and take care of him for the rest of my life. That certificate is just a piece of paper to us."Nathan glanced at Victoria, his expression dark and complicated.Mrs. Hill felt somewhat relieved."You're right. You and Nathan are now looking out for each other like a real married couple. As for that Isabella, if she wants to make trouble, let her. Who cares about her? Are we supposed to beg her to come back? No way. It’s better if she dies out there."Unfortunately, things didn’t go as expected.Just as Victoria and the Hill family were enjoying each other’s company, the open door was suddenly blocked by a lively figure, casting a shadow on the floor. A crisp voice rang out."Well, look what we have here! The person who should have shown up is no

Finally, she added, "In your dreams." Then she turned and walked away with large strides.Mrs. Hill, furious, smashed her teacup. Nathan stood frozen in place, watching Ava leave. It wasn’t until Victoria reminded him, "Nathan, what did Isabella send you?" that he snapped back to reality. Eagerly, he ripped open the envelope and pulled out the documents inside. When he saw the bold words "Divorce Agreement" on the papers, his face immediately darkened.It felt as though he had been slapped hard, and by someone insignificant at that. The blood rushed to his head.Both Mrs. Hill and Victoria noticed his change in expression and exchanged a glance."Nathan, what’s that?" Mrs. Hill asked, her curiosity piqued."It’s the divorce agreement," Nathan muttered through clenched teeth."Divorce... agreement?" Mrs. Hill looked utterly stunned. She could hardly believe that her delicate, weak daughter-in-law would ever think of leaving her precious son.She stood there for a long time, stunned, be

The butler’s expression turned slightly tense. He hadn’t expected that this young girl would pick up on his wariness toward Young Master Theodore.He immediately flashed a sly smile. "Miss, you must have misunderstood. Young Master Theodore is still young, so the master has instructed us servants to look after him more. When he has visitors, I can’t help but ask a few questions. Apologies for offending you."Ava clearly didn’t believe his words. "Your young master turned 20 just last week, and you’re still treating him like a child. Don’t you fear he’ll get upset and cause you trouble?" Her words carried a subtle warning.After Theodore’s coming-of-age ceremony, he would officially take charge of the Sanchez family’s business. Though his shareholding might not surpass the eldest son’s, he would still be in control of real power. If the servants continued to treat him with such blatant suspicion, Theodore might very well become displeased. While he couldn’t do much about the higher-ups

Thinking about how she survived with just one kidney, a pang of pain stirred in his heart.Ava said, “You know that Sis has a knot in her heart. The engagement with Nathan is something she can’t move past until it’s resolved.”Theodore’s face darkened. “Tell her the marriage is definitely off.”After speaking, Theodore left with a casual air.Ava stood frozen, shocked. *At his age, how could he possibly challenge the crown prince?*On his way back to his room, Theodore crossed paths with Guillermo.Guillermo tossed him a gift box. “Theodore, this is your coming-of-age gift from Mom and Dad.”Theodore caught the box, his sharp eyes not missing the evil grin on Guillermo's face.He immediately opened the gift. Inside, there was a suit—its fabric slightly wrinkled, with stitching visible at the edges, and rough, mismatched seams. It was obviously a cheap, poorly-made counterfeit.Guillermo sneered, “Theodore, Dad asked me to tell you this suit is especially for you. You’d better wear it

That day, the Sanchez family's clubhouse was unexpectedly packed. When Madam Sanchez and Guillermo arrived slowly, they were stunned by the rows of luxury cars lined up outside the clubhouse. Madam Sanchez clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's just a birthday party for some small fry from the Sanchez family. How did it attract so many big-name guests?" Guillermo, however, remained calm and reassured his mother, "Mom, don't be angry. These important people aren't here for Theodore; they're here for the prestige of the Sanchez family. Wait until they see him wearing those shabby clothes. They'll know his status in our family is less than that of a dog." A venomous smile flashed in Madam Sanchez's eyes as she straightened her posture and walked into the clubhouse, with Guillermo following behind. Upon entering, the expected extravagant decorations fitting the Sanchez family's status as a top conglomerate were nowhere to be found. Instead, there were countless

Guillermo was stunned, his expression one of disbelief. "Theodore, what do you mean by this? My mother went through so much trouble picking out the perfect clothes for you, and you actually dare to throw them away?"His shout drew the attention of everyone in the club.Theodore’s handsome face seemed to freeze the air around him, as if a sudden cold front had taken over. His gray-black suit hugged his slightly grown and maturing frame, radiating the aura of someone in a high position. Standing calmly beside the enraged Guillermo only made Guillermo appear even more juvenile and immature by comparison.With a composed tone, Theodore replied, “It got dirty. I’m a bit of a clean freak.”Guillermo froze, then realized that Theodore had rejected his touch because he found the clothes soiled. He felt a surge of anger.He sneered at Theodore’s suit, “Theodore, the clothes my mother picked for you are worth a few thousand yuan at least. You’d rather strip off that expensive outfit and wear th

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
