Wave after wave, the applause continued, endless and fervent.Victoria grew uneasy. "Nathan, Bella’s designs are so well-received. She’ll be my biggest threat to winning the championship."Nathan’s expression darkened as he replied coldly, "As long as I’m here, no one can stop you from winning."His brooding gaze fell on Isabella, who was dressed in a modestly priced suit. His lips curled into a faint smirk. "Professor Jasmine is the founder of a luxury brand that caters exclusively to European royalty and nobility.Isabella’s designs are impressive, but her inherent humility and impoverished background won’t escape Jasmine’s discerning eye. Jasmine’s style epitomizes wealth and luxury. She would never accept a designer from such a lowly origin. Just watch. Jasmine won’t give her a high score, let alone take her as an apprentice."Victoria’s eyes lit up. "Nathan, your insight is unparalleled."She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, Bella doesn’t have the money to dress herself in l

Chapter 22

"Isabella." Caught off guard, Isabella barely had time to react before Nathan had risen to his feet and strode toward her. His strong, vice-like grip clamped down on her wrist, holding her in place. Isabella stared at him coldly, her expression detached as though he were a complete stranger. Her distant gaze stabbed at him like a dagger. "Isabella, why are you in Milan? Didn’t I tell you to stay obediently in the United States?" he demanded angrily. A mocking smile tugged at Isabella’s lips. He had sent her to the U.S., and now he expected her to comply without question? Did he see her as nothing more than a thoughtless accessory to his life? Nathan hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. "Even if you wanted to come to Milan, you should have informed me beforehand." At that moment, Victoria appeared, stepping forward with a falsely concerned expression. She adopted the tone of an elder Sis, speaking down to Isabella. "Bella, do you know how worried Nathan was wh

Chapter 23

After speaking, Isabella turned to leave. Nathan suddenly stepped forward, his iron-like grip seizing her wrist tightly. The pain forced a sharp inhale from Isabella. "Isabella, where are you going? You have to come home with me," Nathan demanded. Isabella's cold gaze fell on his hand. Nathan had never cared for her, not even knowing that her delicate skin would bruise and bleed with just a little pressure. Under her resentful stare, Nathan realized he had used too much force and let go of her wrist. "Sorry, I lost control," he said, his demeanor returning to its usual poised elegance. Isabella rubbed her sore wrist, her face expressionless as she looked at him. "Nathan, just let me go." A flicker of pain appeared in Nathan's eyes. Once, Isabella's gaze had burned with passion when she looked at him; now, it was filled with estrangement. Where had things gone wrong? Nathan spoke with an air of dominance that brooked no argument. "Isabella, you're my wife. How can I

Chapter 24

Isabella took off running. However, she was short and frail, while Nathan had long legs and great stamina. With just a few strides, he nearly caught up to her. Desperate, Isabella suddenly darted across the road. A luxury sports car sped toward her, its headlights blindingly bright. Nathan's eyes widened in alarm. “Isabella—!” The car abruptly slowed down, its window lowering to reveal a beautiful young face. “Sis, get in.” Isabella froze for a moment, unfamiliar with the girl calling out to her. But that address—“Sis”—stirred memories of Theodore. There was no time to think further. Isabella yanked open the passenger door and climbed in. As Nathan rushed over, the sports car shot off like an arrow, vanishing into the distance with Isabella inside. Standing on the roadside, Nathan clenched his fists tightly, suspicion clouding his face. *When did Isabella start associating with such wealthy people?* Suddenly, it all made sense. *No wonder she had the confidence

Chapter 25

Meanwhile, Nathan was not idle. To pave the way for Victoria’s career, he spared no expense, spending a fortune just to arrange a meeting between Victoria and Master Jasmine. After much pressure from intricate connections, Master Jasmine reluctantly agreed to meet Victoria. That day, Nathan supported Victoria as they entered Master Jasmine’s lounge. Master Jasmine sat on the sofa, and beside her, an elegant clothing rack displayed the works of both Isabella and Victoria. The moment Victoria saw Isabella’s work, her smile froze, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. Master Jasmine was direct. “Miss Victoria, both you and Miss Thea are exceptionally talented. However, after carefully comparing your works, I regret to inform you that I have decided to take Miss Thea as my apprentice.” Victoria was unwilling to accept it. “Master Jasmine, may I know where I fell short?” Master Jasmine stroked the stitching on the garment and replied, “Your temperament is impatient

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

Chapter 28

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

Chapter 29

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

Chapter 30

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
