Chapter 91
When Mrs. Hill saw the couple's wedding rings in Victoria and Nathan's hands again, she became even more certain of her speculation.
She went mad immediately and slapped Victoria in the face, saying, "How dare you betray me and marry my son behind my back? Victoria, I underestimated you."
Thea took a step back, looking like a bystander.
Victoria was slapped so hard that she saw stars, her frail body spun several times in place like a willow in a gentle breeze, and finally fell into Nathan's arms.
"Nathan," Victoria said, covering her swollen face, her tears falling like broken jade beads, making her look very pitiful.
Nathan, with a rebellious spirit, was moved by Victoria. He angrily glared at Mrs. Hill and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Victoria is not well, how could you hit her?"
Mrs. Hill slapped Nathan again and shouted, "You have defied my words for her multiple times. Just because of this, I can never agree to let her into our the Hill family."
She turned to Victoria, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, and said, "Victoria, I underestimated you. I clearly warned you to stay away from my son. I never expected you to play two- faced, deceiving me behind my back. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Victoria apologized anxiously, "Mom, Lansheng and I truly love each other, please fulfill our wish." Mrs. Hill had long passed the age of romantic love, and now, in her twilight years, her most profound realization was that love is an unreliable thing.
Victoria's physique, Victoria's family background, everything would undermine her excellent son. Therefore, Mrs. Hill would never allow Nathan to marry Victoria.
She finally burst out angrily, "Victoria, stop pretending to be pitiful. You don't love my son, you only love the continuous medical expenses he provides for you. It is because of him that you can maintain a good life. Without him, you would just be waiting to die."
Straight to the point.
Victoria was clearly in a panic. She knelt down with a thud and raised her hand, swearing, "Mom, I truly love Nathan. Whether it is poor or wealthy, it doesn't affect my love for him. Mom, if you don't believe me, I can swear."
"I swear, if there was a single false word in what I just said, may I be struck by five thunderbolts and meet an untimely death."
Nathan pulled Victoria up and held her tightly, standing in solidarity with her. He said, "Mother, Victoria is already my wife. I will not divorce her. If you force Victoria, you are forcing your own son. If you want me to divorce her, I would rather sever ties with the Hill family."
Mrs. Hill was so angry that her body shook. "You idiot."
Immediately, everything went black and I fell at the feet of the onlookers, Thea.
Thea was afraid of harming the innocent fish in the pond, so she stepped back.
Nathan was taken aback by Thea's avoidance of her own mother.
After all, she used to have great respect for Mrs. Hill. He remembered one year when Mrs. Hill fell ill and was bedridden, Thea fearlessly and unhesitatingly took care of her, even cleaning up after her.
Mrs. Hill responded with a sentence. "Your wife was meant to serve others. You are truly unworthy of her."
Thea, with a cold and indifferent expression in her eyes, and Isabella, who used to be full of passion, seemed like two different people.
Finally, Victoria called an ambulance.
Waiting for ambulance, Nathan and Thea's eyes met, and a surge of emotions flowed beneath the surface.
Nathan's astonishment, confusion, and disappointment...
Thea looked at the arena she had designed with her own hands, feeling joyful and exhilarated. As for crying Victoria, fainting Mrs. Hill, and helpless Nathan... what did she care about them?
"Isabella, did you bring Victoria and my mom here?" Nathan interrogated her.
Thea smiled brightly and said, "Yeah. Nathan, how are you going to thank me?"
Nathan's hawk-like eyes were bloodshot, as if his gaze could kill. He had mentally tortured Thea a thousand times over. "Thank you? You made my mom so angry, and I should thank you?"
Thea frowned, "Nathan, can we talk sense here? was clearly your wife who made your mother faint in anger, not me. Instead of seeking revenge on her, you're seeking revenge on me, your well-meaning ex-wife. This is repaying kindness with enmity."
"Isabella - I used to tolerate all your mischief in the past, but this time you have crossed the line. You actually made jokes about Victoria and my mother's health," Nathan said angrily, struggling to articulate his words.
"I would never forgive you."
Thea couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nathan, who cares about your forgiveness?"
"It seems I was too kind to you before," Nathan gritted his teeth and said.
Thea laughed heartily and said, "Then you must never be kind to me in the future. I really want to know what expression the prince had on his face when he lost to me with such ruthlessness."
After saying that, she walked away gracefully in high heels.
Nathan stared blankly at her receding figure.
He pretended to be drunk today, believing selfishly that Thea, who had once loved him so passionately, couldn't just stop loving him.
She filed for divorce, perhaps as a helpless choice after he had deeply hurt her.
As long as he showed his deep affection for her, perhaps she would be able to take off her disguise. If she still Kad some feelings for him, then he would have a way to
persuade her to give up the
collaboration with Brownovel.
Sanchez.
And he could save his precarious career by merely acting out a deep love affair.
But today, Thea's performance throughout the whole game was so indifferent that it sent shivers down his spine.
He got drunk, even though his stomach hurt badly, she remained indifferent.
He calmly handed his wife, mother, a text message, rewarding them with a fierce battle between mother- in-law and daughter-in-law.
Then, in regards to Victoria's injury, her mother's fainting was accompanied by a mocking smirk of schadenfreude.
She was really harsh on him.
He felt like a fool today.
Isabella didn't love him anymore.
After he came to this realization, he inexplicably felt that something had collapsed inside him. Hospital.
When Mrs. Hill woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Nathan knelt by the bedside, looking haggard, with a faint hint of stubble on his lips. He appeared worn out and disheveled.
Mrs. Hill saw him and pointed towards the door, saying, "You get out of here. I don't want to see you, you ungrateful child."
Nathan's eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, you used to dislike Isabella, and I divorced her. Now I have married Victoria, why are you still unhappy?"
Mrs. Hill sat up in anger, "Victoria is not as good as Isabella."
Nathan was shocked, Mrs. Hill's words completely overturned his understanding.
"Mom, Victoria is outside. Give her some face, please."
Mrs. Hill exclaimed, "Did I say anything wrong? How can Victoria compare to Isabella? She is not as beautifuKas Isabella, nor as gentle and caring as Isabella who would take care of you. She even spends your money recklessly. You must be blind to marry her."
