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. | just want to ask you one question, and | want an
honest answer.”

Nathan paused. “Go ahead.”
The fact that Isabella was willing to speak to him felt like a good sign.
But the moment she opened her mouth, his heart sank.
“Was it you? Did you secretly interfere so that Master Jasmine chose Victoria as her apprentice?”
Isabella stared directly into his eyes.
Nathan's pupils dilated in guilt, his hands fidgeting aimlessly.
His evasive reaction gave him away.
Isabella instantly understood. Her anger boiled over, and she broke down, crying and shouting hysterically,
“Nathan, how could you? Why would you do this to me?”
Feeling a little guilty, Nathan tried to console her with a calm tone. “Don’t be upset. | can compensate you for
the losses from the competition.”
Isabella sneered coldly. “Two million in costs, a month of sleepless nights, and every day spent running on sheer
determination. Tell me, how exactly do you plan to compensate

Nathan was incredulous. “Two million? Where did you even get that kind of money?”
He had never imagined that Isabella would invest two million in a competition.
Suddenly recalling something,. his face darkened as he demanded, “Where did you get that much money?”
Isabella didn’t want to drag Theodore into her personal conflicts. She evaded the question. “That's my business.
It has nothing to do with you.”
Nathan's anger flared. “Did you borrow it from a loan shark?”
In his mind, Isabella’s personality wasn’t charming enough for anyone to lend her such a large sum. He let his
suspicions run wild.
The look Isabella gave him was one of utter dismay and disdain.
To him, she was someone destined to remain at the bottom of society-a puppet he could control and oppress.
When she stayed silent, Nathan took it as confirmation of his assumption. His face grew even darker. “Isabella,
I'll never help

“I never expected you to helprepay anything,” Isabella retorted coldly.

She had never once hoped he would show her any generosity. After all, the monthly allowance he gave her had
never exceeded five figures, while the gifts he bought for Victoria were never less than six.
Even the salary he paid their housekeeper was higher than the money he gave her.
How could she possibly expect him to be generous?
Nathan laughed bitterly, his frustration evident. “Do you think learning one skill will make you rich? Face reality,
Isabella. Without my support, you'll have to start from scratch when you return to the workforce. With a monthly
salary of a few thousand yuan, you'll be working your whole life to pay off this debt.”
Isabella looked him straight in the eyes and said, “If you're so afraid ofbeing a burden, then divorce me.”
