It was the first time Nathan realized that his closeness with Victoria was something Isabella found repulsive.

After saying this, Isabella turned and walked away with a lightness that seemed almost carefree.

Not wanting Nathan to cause trouble for Theo, she casually threw over her shoulder, “He’s just a friend.”

Nathan let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding.

“Since he’s just a normal friend, then you should mind your behavior and be aware of the situation. We wouldn’t want to cause any misunderstandings.”

Isabella paused, as if remembering something. She stopped in her tracks and slowly turned back.

Her eyes, as cold as a still, bottomless well, fixed on him. “Nathan, who smeared dirt on me?”

Nathan hesitated, a flicker of guilt crossing his features. He knew that her relationship with her mother was strained, yet today he had allowed Isabella’s mother to meet with her and even let her spread rumors and harm Isabella.

“Nathan, I’m grateful for the time you once saved me fro

    This dress—whether it was the size, the style, or even the potential chemical hazards from the new fabric—had clearly been carefully considered by Nathan. The price was undoubtedly astronomical.Why had he suddenly changed his mind and let her replace Victoria to attend tonight’s gathering?the Hill family maid also felt awkward and sympathetically comforted Isabella. “Madam, would you like us to try another store?”Isabella waved her hand dismissively and walked into the luxurious boutique where Victoria was.Victoria looked up at her in surprise. Then, she began to nonchalantly flaunt her dress.“Bella, do you like this dress? Isn’t it beautiful?”Isabella responded calmly, “Diamonds represent eternal love. But if you wear that, wouldn’t those elite men misunderstand and think you’re already married? That would mean you’d miss out on many good marriages.”Victoria’s face turned pale, but she quickly changed the topic. “Bella, you came to buy a dress, right? Pick whatever you like. I’

    She leaned in close to Isabella’s ear and whispered, “He’s sure you won’t like such events, which is why he bought you such a cheap dress.”Isabella smiled faintly. “Then I’ll do as he wishes and attend the banquet in this cheap dress. After all, I’m not the only one embarrassed.”Victoria didn’t expect her attempt to backfire.But her pride wouldn’t allow her to let Isabella walk all over her.With a forced smile, she whispered in a tone only Isabella could hear, “Between you and me, Nathan has always chosen me. You’ll see. No matter how badly you want to attend, as long as I don’t want you there, Nathan will listen to me.”Isabella’s face brightened with an almost eager smile. “We’ll see.”Isabella bought the dresses without trying any of them on and casually left the boutique.As she left, she overheard the staff praising her. “It must be nice to be a rich lady—buying such expensive dresses without even blinking.”Victoria’s face turned as dark as a thunderstorm.Her jealousy boiled

    “No reason!” Nathan replied, dismissing her without a second thought.Isabella’s nails almost dug into her flesh. “It’s because Victoria is going with you to the banquet, isn’t it?”Nathan’s face showed a moment of discomfort, but he quickly regained his composure. “Isabella, your sister is more suited for such occasions than you.”Isabella’s fingers curled into fists.In Nathan’s mind, it was as if a permanent mark had been etched onto her—one of shallow ignorance, without background or education.Even though she was now Miss Thea, a globally renowned fashion designer, the prejudice Nathan held against her still stirred feelings of inferiority deep within her.A stubborn, unyielding determination gripped her. She reassured herself: It’s okay, Isabella, it’s not that you’re not capable, it’s that his judgment is flawed.She released her fists and walked elegantly toward Nathan.She looked down at him disdainfully. “Is it really because Victoria is more suitable than me?”Under her burn

    Nathan glared at her, displeased.“What did I say wrong? Is it that funny?”Isabella replied, “These rumors fall on me, and you just tell me to tolerate it. But if it were Victoria, would you let her tolerate it?”With that, she threw her bank card onto the ground, then turned and left.Her voice, clear and bright, floated back to him. “You’re so generous buying her a dress, though.”Nathan stood frozen, feeling a sharp pang of shame.It seemed that he had only ever protected Victoria, never caring about Isabella’s grievances.Yet—He watched her retreating figure, her indifferent attitude toward his neglect. Strangely, it made him feel increasingly agitated.Back in the bedroom, Isabella threw her exhausted body onto the bed and closed her eyes to rest.Suddenly, her phone rang. The familiar ringtone caused her to pick up the call almost reflexively.“Big Sis, the organizer of tonight’s Fashion Week banquet has specially sent you an invitation. Are you going?”Ava's sweet voice came t

    The one speaking was Isabella.She had deliberately dressed up today: her hair styled in big waves, her lips painted in fiery red, and wearing a form-fitting emerald green dress. It was both seductive and charming.However, she wore oversized sunglasses that clashed with the elegance of her outfit.But anyone with a keen eye could tell that she clearly didn’t want to reveal her true self."Sir, that's the woman you were looking for," the obsequious assistant of Guillermo said, eyes lighting up.Guillermo stared at the stunning woman in front of him, utterly captivated. He liked women who were bold in their beauty.He whispered to his assistant, "Make sure you get her contact details later."The assistant nodded eagerly, "Understood."Isabella walked with graceful steps, her body swaying like the wind, her hips sending out a deadly allure.Her beauty was dazzling and sensual, yet without being vulgar. For some reason, her radiant charm also carried a hint of purity.As she passed by Nat

    Guillermo hesitated before replying, "Nathan, don’t you think her voice sounds a lot like... your wife, Isabella?"Nathan froze, as if struck by lightning.Every word Isabella had spoken felt like a devastating blow to him.If it really was Isabella, then she must hate him so much to go to such lengths to destroy him."It’s impossible," he muttered, shaking his head.He always believed that Isabella loved him and couldn’t possibly hate him this much.Isabella had completed her mission for the day and was about to leave quietly when she accidentally bumped into a sturdy chest.A hand gently steadied her.She looked up and saw Theo winking playfully at her."Your makeup skills are getting better and better."Isabella replied, "I did this today to humiliate him. I’m sure he’ll come looking for trouble with me soon. Stay away, or you might get caught in the crossfire."Theo smiled, "No need to leave so soon. Stick around and watch the show. I promise he won’t have the chance to bother you.

    Victoria hurriedly stepped back, flustered, and said, "I can't drink."A sharp, mocking laugh came from the crowd. "What are you pretending for? Everyone knows that there are only two kinds of women at events like this: the wives of company CEOs, or assistants who work for them. You're neither Mrs. Hill, nor willing to help Mr. Hill, so what are you even doing here?"Victoria's face turned pale, her expression a mixture of anger and embarrassment.Nathan stepped forward to rescue her. "My wife had an urgent matter and couldn’t attend, so she asked her sister to come in her place. Her sister is unwell and can’t drink, sorry."Victoria sighed with relief, but just as she thought the situation was diffusing, that same voice pressed on, "Mr. Hill, is it true that Mrs. Hill couldn’t make it?"Nathan frowned, eyeing the person with suspicion. "What do you mean by that? Do I not know my own wife’s situation?"The person persisted, "Mrs. Hill was excited to pick out a dress for tonight at my b

    To her surprise, Theo filled her glass again. "Miss Moore, you have a great tolerance for alcohol. This one’s for you."Victoria was forced to drink again...Theo filled her glass once more. "This one’s for you and Mr. Hill as well."Victoria’s face turned a deep shade of green, unsure whether it was from the alcohol or the pressure of the situation.Nathan, noticing something was wrong, quickly pressed her hand down to stop her from drinking.He apologized to Theo. "Mr. Theo, moderation is key. Let’s not drink too much."Theo nodded and let Victoria go, but no one noticed the calculating gleam in his eyes.The drinks he had given Victoria were the strongest on offer that night.Having drunk two glasses, he was confident she wouldn’t be able to handle it.As the evening continued, Victoria struggled to keep up with the toasts from several influential figures. She had to force herself to drink more.By the time the event hadn’t even finished, her body was beginning to show signs of stra

He opened the roster, which had photos of the blind date participants - some with makeup, some without, as well as candid shots and work photos. It also contained the archival records of the individuals from birth until now."Please take a look."Kassidy eagerly took the boys' roster, while Samuel held the girls' roster and they both started flipping through them."Wow. They're all so good." Kassidy exclaimed enthusiastically, "So handsome and talented... I like every one of them. Except for this rich young man... What a nickname, 'Foodie'? This photo must have been photoshopped, definitely a chubby person..."She threw the roster to Drake, "Everyone except him."Drake smirked.Samuel pouted and said, "This chest is too small.""This hair color was too yellow."

    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

Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well.

    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. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but

    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
