Chapter 229: Chapter 230

Chapter 230 “Appearance fee?” Thea sneered, “I’m afraid you can’t afford my appearance fee.”

Nathan said, “Can you give me a price?”

Thea blurted out, “Two million.”

Nathan said, “It’s a deal.”

Thea was dumbfounded. If only she had known, she would have spoken up louder.

However, although Nathan is currently in the limelight, he has been abandoned by the Hill family, and his value has been greatly diminished. Even if they offer him two million, he will probably have to take a significant hit.

And Thea was delighted to see Victoria’s expression when she found out that Nathan had spent money on her.

Thea extended her hand and said, “No credit.”

Nathan smiled and then took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, and transferred two million to Thea.

Thea watched him move swiftly, without even a frown on her forehead, feeling quite annoyed inside.

“Indeed, it is a centipede, never dying. Nathan, I truly didn’t expect that you could turn the tables like a salted fish.”

Chapter 230 Nathan didn’t get angry but laughed instead, “So you want to empty my pockets like that?”

Thea didn’t hide her calculation towards him. “Nathan, you would eventually become a penniless beggar. Both materially and spiritually.”

Nathan stared at Thea with a stern face and said, “Thea, I wasn’t so easily moved.”

Thea snorted coldly from her nose, turned around, and slammed the door shut.

Nathan yelled at her in frustration, “Don’t forget to dress up nicely for the party.”

Thea pouted and said, “I knew.”

When Nathan happily returned home, Victoria proudly took out her evening gown to show off. “Nathan, do you think this dress is beautiful? I will wear it to accompany you to your celebration banquet.”

Nathan frowned, “A celebration banquet?” He looked at Victoria skeptically and teased, “You seem to be well–informed. The time for this celebration banquet was just confirmed, and yet you already knew?”

Victoria’s eyes flickered with a hint of unease as she said, “I specifically called your assistant.”

Nathan sat on the couch with a gloomy face and said, “Don’t casually call my assistant anymore in the future.”

Victoria’s enthusiasm seemed to be dashed as if someone had 13.95%

poured ice water on her. “Nathan I am your wife, didn’t you used to say that I had the privilege to interfere in any matter of yours?”

Nathan. “...”

Was he so love–struck before?

“Victoria, then was then, now is now. I was the heir of the Hill family, able to do as I pleased. Now I am just a worker, even l am subject to others. What about you?”

Victoria’s pupils trembled, and Nathan’s attitude made her somewhat aware of some distance between them.

She murmured with red eyes, “Nathan, I was wrong. I promise! won’t do this again in the future.”

Nathan nodded, “Hmm.”

Then he stared at Victoria and said seriously, “Victoria, for this celebration banquet, I invited other female companions.”

Victoria dropped the dress in her hands to the ground, her face turning pale. “Nathan? Why didn’t you let me go? I am your wife, I could have accompanied you to the grand event and helped shape your image as a loving husband and family man.”

Nathan said, “Mr. Sanchez implied to me that a lady companion must be chosen with dignity. You are not suitable.”

After saying that, Nathan stood up and said, “I’m tired, I’ll go take a shower first.”

Victoria stood still in shock, Nathan’s words had hit her hard.

Chapter 250 “Am I not respectable?” she called out in a resentful tone, watching Nathan’s figure disappear.

Nathan, however, had already entered the bathroom. He clearly heard Victoria’s questioning. But he pretended not to hear, turning on the showerhead. Letting the sound of water drown out his ears.

Victoria returned to her room, holding the dress, feeling lost and distraught.

She sat on the bed and daydreamed.

However, she quickly managed to calm herself down and reassured herself, “Nathan is just working for the Sanchez now, you should understand his difficulties. He didn’t mean to ignore you on purpose.”

The mobile phone screen suddenly lit up.

A friend circle push notification that was only targeted at her instantly caught Victoria’s attention.

Thea actually updated her Instagram.

It’s really rare to see.

Victoria opened her Instagram with curiosity, only to see Thea posting a receipt. The amount was as high as two million.

Thea also wrote, “Someone invited me to attend a celebration banquet for a fee. Was this money earned easily?”

Victoria stared wide–eyed, “A celebration banquet?”

How come it’s so coincidental?

Is Thea going to Nathan’s celebration party?

She has always been a sensitive person, and now that Nathan and Thea are both going on a trip at the same time, and they are also attending the celebration party... She has every reason to suspect that the person accompanying Nathan to the celebration party is Thea.

Victoria hurried downstairs and Nathan’s phone was lying on the couch. Victoria picked up the phone and immediately opened Nathan’s social media app.

Nathan and Thea’s chat interface was very clean.

Victoria breathed a sigh of relief.

Victoria opened Nathan’s mobile banking app again, luckily Nathan’s bank password had not been changed. She quickly scrolled through Nathan’s transaction history and found a two million dollar transfer.

The payee is *Sheng.

Victoria’s heart instantly sank to the bottom.

She used to do all the things to seduce married men... but she never thought that one day her own marriage would also be in jeopardy.

The feeling of being cheated on was so terrible.

When Nathan walked out of the bathroom, Victoria secretly glanced at his expression. She noticed that his brows involuntarily furrowed, giving him a heavy–hearted appearance.

Victoria eventually swallowed her turbulent emotions and kept them to herself. She was a materialistic woman, so she knew very well that she had no power of influence, and her weak body made her dependent on others. Therefore, she had no confidence to cut off ties with her host, the parasite.

She did not dare to argue with Nathan.

But it doesn’t mean she could swallow this breath.

The celebration banquet arrived as scheduled.

Thea left wearing a plain T–shirt and jeans. When she arrived at the Sanchez club, Nathan had already been waiting at the entrance for a while.

Seeing her casually dressed, Nathan felt his breath catch. “Thea, be my companion, looking so shabby like this?”

Thea glanced at him and said, “You only gave me a two million. appearance fee, but you didn’t give me any costume fee.”

She deliberately dressed so shabbily, deliberately disgusting him.

Wasn’t he very keen on watching her embarrass herself in front of the noble lady, dressed shabbily?

Nathan.

Nathan, a gentleman, raised his hand and had Thea enter while holding onto it.

Thea, however, ignored it as if she hadn’t heard, turned her head, and walked forward alone, dragging her feet.

Nathan followed closely behind.

1611 Chapter 250 Little did they know, behind them behind the wall outside the clubhouse entrance, a head peeped out. Her eyes filled with tears, she watched as Thea’s figure disappeared.
