Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Chapter 105 A quiet night.

Only the countless stars in the night sky emitted a cold. brilliance, accompanying Isabella Isabella curled up in the corner of the balcony, with her phone beside her and a webpage still open. The light from the phone screen shimmered alongside the starlight. However, it couldn’t illuminate the surroundings.

It was a pitch–black night.

The door suddenly creaked, and Theo turned on the, switch on the wall.

Isabella scrambled to her feet and said, “Theodore, can my work be paused for a while?”

Theo walked up to her and reached out to tuck her messy hair behind her ears, asking, “Why?”

“I have a bad reputation now, and I’m afraid it will drag you down,” she whispered.

Theo reached out and lifted her chin, making her gaze at the starry sky.

“Sister, although fireflies are faint, they can still burn the beauty of youth. Chase the light and encounter it, bask in the light and move forward. Sister, aren’t these all the things you taught me? Now that sister is facing difficulties, how can I retreat instead of Chapter 105 forging ahead?”

Isabella remained silent for a while and then spoke slowly, “I divorced Nathan, and he will do everything possible to retaliate against me. Until our war is over, please keep your distance from me. Don’t let me drag you down.”

“Sister wants me to remain celibate? Am I still a human being then?”

“You minded your own business, so you could secretly help me.”

The anger on Theo’s face just dissipated.

“That’s right. With one in the light and one in the dark, we join forces to deal with Nathan. It will surely add a lot of fun to our lives.

So it’s settled, sister, you can’t go back on your word.”

“Um.”

Nathan’s frequency of looking at his phone has noticeably increased recently. Whether he is eating, sleeping, or even working, he would occasionally glance at the phone screen subconsciously. Not seeing Isabella’s incoming text message, he inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He thought that if he showed off his affection with Victoria, Isabella would still get jealous and go crazy like before. But Isabella didn’t show any reaction at all.

Just like strangers, without love or hate.

This Isabella, she really impressed him.

Mrs. Hill’s phone suddenly rang, and Nathan answered the call, only to hear Mrs. Hill urging him in a very urgent tone, “Nathan, 15:46 Chapter 105 the Hill family’s new company related to artificial intelligence is about to go public. Lately, you better be honest. Your affair with Victoria has caused quite a stir, and your father is furious: Your father has made a stern statement that if your reckless personal life hinders the company’s listing, he will withdraw his control over it.”

Nathan’s face turned pale. “He is my only son, and he removed me from power? What was he thinking...”

Mrs. Hill remained silent.

There was an inexplicable chill in the air.

Mrs. Hill sighed, her voice low and somber. “Nathan, Mom knows you’re feeling troubled. Ever since you’ve been with Isabella, your smile has been less frequent. But this is a crucial period, and you must consider the bigger picture. For now, you should refrain from seeing Victoria and focus on building a loving image with Isabella...”

Nathan felt exhausted and weak as he said, “Mom, Isabella has been talking about divorcing me lately.”

Mrs. Hill was furious. “I knew that a woman from a poor family like her would never be able to rise above her station. Just when we needed her the most, she had to mess up. You tell her not to overstep her boundaries. If she affects your future, she will have to beg on her knees for reconciliation, and we will never take her back.”

Nathan pinched his forehead in pain.

“This time, she came for real.”

15 Chapter 105 Mrs. Hill was extremely shocked.

“Nathan, you were a smart person. You should have known how much impact a divorce at this time would have on the company.

Don’t let your father hate you,” Mrs. Hill said lightly, but it felt like a mountain pressing down on Nathan, leaving him breathless.

Nathan succumbed to reality and reluctantly took out his phone to dial Isabella’s number.

The bell had just rung not long ago when it abruptly stopped.

It is obvious that Isabella intentionally hung up his phone.

Nathan was so angry that he wanted to blacklist her, but he realized that her decision to divorce him at this time would be a fatal blow to him, considering the company was on the verge of going public.

He had to compromise with Isabella:

He dialed the phone number for the second time, and the mobile phone rang many times before Isabella answered the call.

Her voice, however, was mixed with impatience and irritation, full of rejection and exclusion.

Just as he did before with her.

“Nathan, there is nothing left to say between you and me. Don’t come looking for me anymore...”

Nathan felt as if he had been drenched with ice–cold water.

“Isabella, haven’t you always wanted to talk to me about 7546 Chapter 105 divorce?”

1280 Isabella’s hand paused. She resisted the urge to hang up..

“Isabella, now is a crucial period for the Hill family’s new company to go public. Do you know how much impact it would have on my career if you create trouble for me at this time?”

Isabella said, “I remember when we got married, you had done a prenuptial property assessment with me. If we were to divorce, I wouldn’t take any of your wealth. So, what does your career have to do with me?”

Nathan felt his heart sink as he realized that the silly girl who loved him madly seemed to disregard his future.

When did she become like this?

“Isabella, I agreed to divorce you. However, I have two conditions.”

Isabella wanted nothing to do with Nathan.

“What conditions?”

Nathan fell silent for a moment and said, “Divorce is fine, but the news of the divorce must be announced only after the Hill family’s company successfully goes public. During this time, you still have to cooperate with me and show affection.”

Isabella almost bit down on a silver tooth.

Nathan seemed to have insight into her thoughts and said, “You know too, if you file for divorce, as long as I don’t leave, you won’t be able to divorce for two years.”

Chapter 105 Isabella suppressed her disgust and reluctantly agreed to him, saying, “Okay.”

Nathan was slightly distracted, “You... agreed so readily? Being with me, does it make you feel this uncomfortable?”

Isabella couldn’t even be bothered to lift her eyelids. “You just found out, huh? What about the second condition?”

Nathan mustered up the courage and spoke, “Isabella, have a child with me.”

Isabella was shocked as if she had heard some incredible fairy tale, causing her brain to almost shut down.

“Nathan, am I hearing correctly? We are getting divorced. And yet, you want me to have a child for you?”

Nathan confidently declared, “I would give you the money, I wouldn’t cheat you.”

Isabella burst into laughter in anger and asked, “How much money?” She wanted to know how much their child was worth in Nathan’s eyes.

“One million?”

Isabella almost couldn’t stop laughing.

Is she worth tens of millions now, and still cares about his mere millions?

But she couldn’t show off her wealth before divorcing him.

“Nathan – you truly live up to being a capitalist. By marrying me, not only did you save your beloved Victoria with my kidney, but Chapter 105 now you want to use my uterus to further solidify the happiness of your family?”

Her pupils suddenly turned blood red, and her emotions instantly became excited. “Nathan, you can’t bully people like this.

Catching me alone to take advantage? I won’t rest until I blow you up completely.”

Nathan’s face turned pale in an instant.

He felt a little flustered inexplicably in his heart, his breath was messy again, and he felt a little embarrassed. “Bella, it’s not like that... I just have a cleanliness obsession and I don’t want to have physical contact with other women I don’t know. But you and I have been husband and wife after all, I didn’t expect you to resist me like this... If you are not satisfied with the amount of money I gave you, you can mention it, and I will try my best to satisfy you.”

Isabella coldly said, “Nathan, do you know why I had to terminate our child?”
