Chapter 11

The untamed wolf that had yet to grow into its fangs was now an irresistible, doe-eyed pup. Since he offered himself up willingly, Isabella wondered if she should make the most of him. But then, she thought of the dark emperor reigning at the pinnacle of the pyramid—a peerless figure of earthly beauty, unattainable as the lofty flower perched on the highest peak. Isabella ultimately backed down. She couldn’t afford to take that risk. “No need,” she said lightly. “For now, I’ll stick to what I know best—women’s fashion.” Theodore’s face revealed a trace of hurt. “Fine, but when you start designing menswear, promise you’ll use me as your model.” Isabella humored him with a half-hearted response. “Sure.” Throwing herself into a grueling work routine, Isabella sketched several designs for women’s clothing on scrap paper. She painstakingly selected her favorite design, cut the fabric, and sewed it into a finished garment: a grass-green high-waisted skirt paired with a chic sh

Chapter 12

As Isabella's health gradually recovered, the new school semester began. Perhaps sorrow had turned into joy, for her once misfortunate life seemed to take a turn for the better—her career was finally blossoming.Isabella’s designs quickly gained popularity among her classmates. Many placed orders for her affordable and stylish clothing. Word of mouth spread fast, and soon her customer base expanded from low-end to mid-tier clients. Her wallet grew thicker, and so did her confidence in earning her own livelihood.Theodore, lounging on the bed playing a game, casually reminded her, “Sis, people only have so much energy. Even if you’re a steel-strong Iron Lady, your daily output has its limits. That means your income will eventually plateau.”Isabella, realizing she was overwhelmed with orders, leaned in front of Theodore and humbly sought his advice. “What do you think I should do to break through?”Pausing his game, Theodore replied, “Sis, you have two options. The first is to shift to

Chapter 13

Nathan couldn’t shake an inexplicable sense of irritation as he scrolled absentmindedly through his chat history with Isabella. Back then, she would reach out almost daily to greet him with good morning and good night messages. She eagerly shared the scenery she saw, the food she tasted—practically every tiny detail of her life. To him, it had felt annoyingly clingy. But ever since he had sent her abroad, it was as if she had vanished into thin air. She had not sent him a single message since then. How had he not noticed such a stark change in her behavior until now? The depth of his neglect towards Isabella was glaringly evident. He opened their chat and typed: “Bella, what are you doing? You haven’t reached out in ages. Are you mad at your husband?” After hesitating for a moment, he hit send. Moments later, a large red exclamation mark appeared in the chat window. Nathan froze. Had Isabella’s account been hacked? He quickly found her international number and di

Chapter 14

One of Nathan’s friends patted him on the shoulder and teased, “Nathan, you’d better bring Isabella back soon. If one day she returns pregnant and asks for a divorce, you’ll have no choice but to cry.” “Also, if the famous Nathan gets dumped by Isabella, it’d be a real blow to your reputation.” Grinding his teeth, Nathan muttered, “She wouldn’t dare...” Ultimately, perhaps pressured by the impending company gala, Nathan chose to compromise. “Noah, book me a flight to the U.S. And buy some gifts for my wife,” he instructed. His assistant's expression was hard to read. “Yes, sir.” ---The next day. Nathan boarded a flight to the U.S., carrying a ragdoll cat as a gift his assistant had purchased. He had finally decided to personally bring Isabella back home. He thought to himself, *This trip will make up for the months I’ve ignored her. When I arrive, I’ll coax her a little, and she’ll happily follow me back.* ---Nathan went to the Smiths’ house. Six months ago, he h

Chapter 15

Nathan returned to the capital alone. When Nathan's father learned that Nathan had not brought Isabella back, he erupted in rage. He berated Nathan furiously: "I opposed your marriage to Isabella back then, but you insisted on marrying her to save your 'pure-hearted love.' Since you married her, you should live a good life together and work as a team. Though Isabella's family background isn't great, she is obedient and filial. We accepted her. Yet, you still entangled yourself with her Sis... You've broken Isabella's heart; that's why she refuses to come back!" The more Nathan's father spoke, the angrier he became: "If Isabella won’t return, then you have no reason to attend the Hill family's annual gathering. It would only invite ridicule." Nathan's mother paled with fright. "Honey, Nathan will definitely bring Isabella back. Please give him some time." Nathan was the Hill family’s only son, but that status depended on his ability to sustain the family's enterprise.

Chapter 16

Theodore stumbled out of his room, looking flustered. "Sis, what’s wrong?" Isabella glared at him, her eyes brimming with tears. Her shoulders heaved as she struggled to contain her anger. "You’re faking being sick just to avoid school... Do you even understand? **Of all pursuits, studying is paramount!** If you don’t want to be bullied anymore in the future, you must study hard!" Theodore instantly caved, his sharp peach blossom eyes drooping. "Sis, I was wrong." Isabella’s voice trembled with frustration. "Theodore, I am willing to shield you from storms, but the world is vast, and not all storms can be blocked for you." "Reflect on this properly." She angrily grabbed his school bag and slammed the door on her way out. Theodore pouted. "Why is she so fiery?" When the door creaked open again, he smirked knowingly. "I knew she couldn't stay mad for long." However, the sound of polished leather shoes echoed in the room. Theodore’s heart sank as a stern middle-aged man s

Chapter 17

Theodore's voice was icy cold: "This is my home. I come and go as I please. You have no say in the matter."The eldest master of the Sanchez family glared at him, his face twisted in rage. "This is *my* home. I've lived here since I was a child. And you? This is probably the first time you've set foot here in sixteen years!"Theodore retorted, "You dare speak of rights when you're the intruder?"The eldest master turned red with anger. "I'm a full twelve years older than you—my mother knew my father long before yours ever did—"Theodore cut him off, his tone sharp: "Need a lesson in law? According to the Civil Code, only children born to married couples are legitimate. Since your mother never obtained a marriage license with my father, she bore you as a mistress."The eldest master’s face flushed crimson with fury. "You just wait—I’ll have Father kick you out!"At that moment, the butler stepped out of the study. He glanced at the fuming eldest master and then at the composed

Chapter 18

"Of course." The elders nodded in agreement. Families like the Sanchez, the Browns, the Hills, and the Millers, towering financial empires, had patriarchs with unparalleled wisdom and experience. Their ability to evaluate potential successors was unmatched. Anyone who caught their eye was undoubtedly a promising candidate for inheriting a financial dynasty. While the Hill family previously groomed Nathan, their recent promotion of Caleb hinted at ambiguity in the Hill Group's line of succession. Seeing Caleb basking in the spotlight, chatting animatedly with the family heads, Nathan felt the stirrings of crisis. His face darkened and remained that way. As if things weren’t bad enough, a mocking voice broke through his thoughts. "Feeling sidelined, Mr.Hill?" Nathan turned to see his good friend Guillermo Sanchez approaching with two glasses of drinks. Handing him one, Guillermo remarked, “Nathan, don’t blame me for pointing out the obvious, but your move to replace your w

Chapter 19

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 cou

Chapter 20

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
