Isabella felt her phone buzz and pulled it out, glancing down at the message.

Her small movement caught the attention of Theo, sitting next to her. He glanced over, noticing the content of the message, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Isabella was so angry she almost wanted to curse. In Nathan’s eyes, she would forever be that uncouth country bumpkin, wouldn’t she? He actually mocked her for not belonging in such a place.

She quickly typed a reply, but just as she was about to send it, a long, elegant hand came down and gently pressed her phone. Looking up, she saw Theo subtly shaking his head at her.

Isabella deleted the message and locked her screen.

Her indifference to Nathan seemed to be like punching a pillow for him. His icy stare fixed on Isabella, and after checking his phone again for the nth time without receiving a reply, his face darkened even more.

He was certain she had seen his message.

In a fit of anger, he added another text, demanding, "Isabella, are you using your id

    Nathan’s face turned dark with fury.Isabella gave a faint smile.To hide her lack of knowledge, she carefully chose her words. "I may not know much about fashion, but as luck would have it, I do know about this necklace. Miss Victoria is partially right—this was indeed a gift from Queen Elizabeth to her daughter, but it doesn’t symbolize power. It symbolizes a lifetime of devotion. This is Queen Elizabeth’s most beautiful blessing to her daughter.""Isabella, how do you know what this necklace symbolizes? Queen Elizabeth had great ambition. How could she be so bound by little love and affection? I think you just made that up to steal the spotlight." One of Victoria’s friends stood up, challenging her.Isabella remained calm and composed. "The sapphire is surrounded by two cherry blossoms—one large, one small. The language of the cherry blossom is ‘a lifetime of love for just one person.’"The host was stunned. "Ah, it really is two cherry blossoms—one large, one small."The audience

    The name *City of Cycles*—it was almost etched into Isabella’s very bones. Even though a lifetime had passed, the memories related to it were still as clear as yesterday. This *Heart Lock*, in her past life, had once been passed to her daughter. It accompanied her for the briefest of years, but was her daughter’s most treasured possession. In this life, she couldn’t bring her daughter into this world. But she could buy things her daughter had once loved, as a way to remember. And more importantly, this *Heart Lock*, as far as she knew, held some kind of magical power—it could potentially allow for the cycle of life to repeat. Of course, that was just her theory. She needed to get it, to confirm her suspicions.If *City of Cycles* really could make the cycle of life possible, then perhaps she could bring her daughter into the world without needing to sleep with Nathan.Isabella never expected that the climax of the auction would be the bidding for *City of Cycles*. She thought

    In her past life, when faced with Nathan’s bias, Isabella had once bitterly confronted him about it. “I’m your wife! I also love this *Heart Lock*, but without hesitation, you gave it to my sister instead. Husband, do you even love me?”And what was his response? He simply didn’t understand her pain. He lightly said, “If your sister wants it, let her have it. If you like jewelry, I’ll buy you something else.” The next day, he bought her a cheap *Heart Lock* worth only a few thousand.Isabella shut her eyes. The memories of her past life still felt like a blade cutting through her heart. The pain of being looked down upon by the one she loved—she could never get used to it. If it were something else, Isabella could have let it go. But this *Heart Lock* was the only clue to her daughter’s existence. She would do whatever it took to get it.She raised her paddle. “I bid 50.01 million.”Her resolve to compete with Nathan was clear in her every action.The crowd watching was in sh

    Theo’s playful disregard successfully stirred Nathan’s blood, and he charged forward, undeterred. “Why not continue? A mere 100 million—I, Nathan, can afford it.” Nathan bid, “100 million and 1.” Theo flashed a knowing smile and addressed the host, “I’ll bid 500 million.” Nathan was left speechless. “I give up.” He slumped down, defeated. Isabella was surprised. In her past life, Nathan had been lured into a bidding war by Theo’s provocations, pushing the price all the way to 1 billion, only for Theo to suddenly pull out. Although Nathan had won *City of Cycles* in the end, his cash reserves had been almost entirely drained in the process. Later, when Theo went after his projects, Nathan was unable to come up with enough liquidity, and he became an easy target for Theo. Nathan’s empire crumbled like a house of cards, his brilliance a fleeting illusion. But why had the outcome reversed in this life? This time, Theo’s sudden bid for 500 million was met with Nathan’s

    Isabella stood expressionless, watching the two of them. While Nathan comforted Victoria, no one seemed to notice her own heartache. Sometime later, Theo appeared in front of her, standing still and tall. Despite his youth, his imposing presence made it hard for Isabella to ignore him. Finally, she forced a pale smile. “Mr. Sanchez, congratulations on getting what you wanted.” Theo raised *City of Cycles* and said meaningfully, “You’re talking about this? It’s not really what I wanted. It’s my sister’s wish. She likes it, so I bought it for her.” At this point, Guillermo, following behind him, sneered. “When did you get a sister, Theo?” Theo looked at Isabella with a smile, and it suddenly dawned on her—he hadn’t bought *City of Cycles* for himself, but for his sister. She was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief. He spent so much money for someone else? But she couldn’t take the gift without offering something in return. “Mr. Sanchez, this necklace means a lot to me

    Theo was resolute in his intent. "Mr. Hill, can't you see? Miss Isabella is determined to have *City of Cycles*. No matter what conditions I offer, she’ll accept them willingly." He paused, his enchanting eyes gleaming with a hint of calculation. "She may not have the money, but once the deal is made, her debt will naturally be transferred to you. After all, you are legally married to her." Nathan’s face drained of color as anger surged through him. He glared at Theo, but upon seeing the devilish smile on his face, he realized he couldn’t stop him. He redirected his frustration at Isabella, knowing that controlling her would be much easier. With an intimidating voice, he ordered, "I won’t allow you to make any deals with him." Isabella shot him a cold look. "I’ll get this *City of Cycles* at any cost. I’m determined." Nathan’s eyes widened with panic. "You’re crazy! What can you offer him in return? You have no money, no business... All you have is a face that’s barely passab

    After some pleasantries, Theo handed her the *City of Cycles* that he had prepared. "Bella, why are you so determined to have this lock?" He was genuinely curious because from what he knew about Isabella, she didn’t seem the type to care about wealth or status. Isabella took the lock in her hands, trembling with excitement. "Theo, I have a secret I can’t share with you. Don’t ask, but one day, when the time is right, you’ll know." Theo, perceptive as ever, changed the subject. "Since you like it so much, Bella, I’ll give it to you." Isabella’s eyes widened in shock as she quickly shook her head. "Theo, this is too precious. I can’t accept such an expensive gift." Theo forcibly placed it into her hands. "Bella, don’t worry. I’m not making a bad deal here. I’ll make sure Nathan pays me back the 500 million, principal and interest." Isabella’s expression faltered. "How could he spend money on me?" Theo’s smile was mysterious. "Bella, if he refuses to pay, then there’s only

    After Isabella left, Theo ordered, "Make me a cup of green tea." The servant stood frozen. "Green tea?" The distinguished Sir had never been one to drink such cheap tea. The servant thought he must have misheard. Theo’s eyes twinkled with amusement. "Today, I want to taste green tea." "Ah, yes, of course." The servant scratched his head, confused, and left. A short while later, the servant returned with a steaming cup of green tea. Theo sipped it, his expression one of enjoyment. "This tastes pretty good." He looked genuinely immersed in the flavor. The servant stared, incredulous. Was he supposed to tell You that green tea was often a metaphor for... something else? But before he could say anything, Theo took out his phone and, for the first time, posted on his social media. He captioned it with a particularly cheeky note: "Women’s money is easy to earn." The most bizarre part came next—he made the post visible only to Nathan. The servant’s expression twisted i

But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams.

    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

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

His previously panicked face instantly twisted into a grimace. He pushed Eric away and said, "Get lost, you little brat.

    Ingrid returned home, looking disheveled with messy hair and clothes in complete disarray, with bruises all over her body.Her mother, Hana, saw her daughter's appearance and panic filled her eyes, “Ingrid, what is going on with you?"Ingrid gritted her teeth and angrily said, "It's all because of Samuel. My classmates don't believe me anymore. Mom, where is my little brother?"Hana walked towards the bedroom and raised her voice, shouting, "Eric."The bedroom door slowly slid open, and a gloomy-faced little boy stood at the entrance. He stared coldly at Ingrid and said, "Samuel?"Ingrid nodded, "He seemed to know your secret."Eric glanced at the wounds on Ingrid's body and couldn't help but feel frustrated, “It's no surprise that he knows my secret. Didn't I tell you before? The Brown family and the Fletcher family are both mysterious families. Be careful."Ingrid said, "He asked me to pass on a message to you, telling y

    Ingrid was furious, “You are young, yet your thoughts are so malicious. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will blame you for giving away the Fletcher family's assets to outsiders?"Samuel was speechless. "Where do you get the audacity to think that your position in my grandfather's heart would surpass mine?"Ingrid had a determined look on her face.Samuel laughed again, "Besides, my grandfather's assets, he can give them to whoever he wants, I have no objections at all. If I want money, I will earn it myself."The words embarrassed those who had the idea of getting something for nothing, turning their faces red with shame.Ingrid's tears flowed incessantly as she became furious, "You have so much integrity, just don't cry later."Samuel was speechless, "At least now it's not me who's crying."Although he was young, he was a head taller than Ingrid, and when he had a stern expression, a chilling aura surrounded his feature

    Samuel picked up a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Kassidy. He even flattered her by saying, "Please have some tea."Kassidy took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, tilting her head back. The furrowed brow had a touch of youthful innocence, as if she didn't know the taste of worry, but was trying to force a new sorrow upon herself.Samuel leaned in and had a mature look on his face, saying, "Don't be sad. Whatever knot in your heart that can't be untied, just tell me and I'll help you solve it, little brother."Kassidy wrapped one hand around Samuel and couldn't help but sigh, "Your brother is still the best. Those men outside, they all seem good-looking and knowledgeable, but why is it that none of them truly love and care for me? What is it that I am lacking?"Kassidy's eyes turned red as she continued speaking, "I was already very serious about managing my emotions.

But she was well aware that if her boyfriend could allow others to humiliate her, it meant that he didn't truly love her.She used to be blind in one eye.But Kassidy was a person who was too lazy to explain. She was very arrogant, saying, "Just for this."The boyfriend immediately got angry, "You are always so domineering and forceful. Any decision you make, I have to obey unconditionally. But why? I am also a person, I also have my own emotions. Since you have decided to break up, fine, I will grant your wish.
