Chapter 279: Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Elsa’s return made Thea busy.

She first went to the mall to buy Elsa various beautiful clothes and household items. She was actually a very controlling person, but when it came to buying things for Elsa, she let go without any limits for the first time.

Accompanied by Drake Frank, who held a pile of clothes in his hands like hills, Ava also carried her hands full, unable to fit in another piece.

When Thea turned around after buying the last piece of clothing, she saw Frank and Drake looking exhausted. She couldn’t help but blush and smile, saying, “Let’s go back.”

When he was returning home, unfortunately, he happened to run into the two people she least wanted to see.

Nathan and Victoria came face to face, with Victoria carrying a shopping bag in her hand and Nathan coolly standing with his hands in his pockets.

When Victoria saw Thea, she was initially friendly. At least she could pretend to greet Thea with a fake smile and say, “Thea, long time no see. How have you been?”

Thea avoided it as if fearing that it had nothing to do with you.

Victoria glanced at Thea’s empty hands and sarcastically opened up a new line of thought to mock her. “Why didn’t you buy anything? Do you think things here are too expensive? Sigh, 0.00%

15.4303 Chapter 280 you’ve always been frugal and reluctant to spend money. But, Thea, life is short, so you should use it when you can. Look at me, I just arrived and already splurged on two dresses for myself...”

Thea sarcastically said, “You really can’t change your ways. Your mean–spirited nature has only increased.”

Ava and Drake Frank lined up in a row, all moving forward in unison by one step. Victoria looked at these three strangers, feeling quite surprised.

At this moment, Ava said, “Who said my sister didn’t buy anything? These are all bought by my sister, open your eyes wider.”

Victoria’s face darkened suddenly as she saw Thea buying clothes as if she were shopping at a vegetable market, with countless shopping bags. Unlike her, who carefully selected each item, afraid of buying something expensive that would make Nathan unhappy.

On the side, Nathan, with sharp eyes, noticed that all the clothes Thea bought were children’s brands, and instantly became excited. “Thea, how could you buy children’s clothing?”

Observant Nathan also noticed that all these children’s clothes were sizes suitable for around three–year–olds.

A terrible thought overflowed in his mind...

Thea was extremely anxious. She was afraid that Nathan would discover Elsa’s existence, She pretended to be casual and said, “Bought it for a friend’s child.”

15:43 Chapter 280 18 298 Woxdurs Nathan breathed a sigh of relief.

But Victoria, upon hearing this, became even more arrogant. “No wonder, I knew there had to be a reason for your sudden extravagance. So, you’re doing favors for a friend, huh? But which friend of yours is so overbearing?”

Thea just wanted to quickly get rid of this crazy couple, so she abruptly bid them farewell, saying, “I have something else to do, goodbye.”

Little did Victoria know, she grabbed Thea and said, “Thea, find some time recently to visit your mom and dad.”

Thea looked unwilling.

Victoria looked desolate, “My father is not doing well. The doctor said his final days may be approaching in just a few days.”

Thea said, “So you want me to go and set off firecrackers to celebrate?”

Victoria raised her hand and slapped Thea.

Victoria, with red eyes, scolded Thea, “How could you say such heartless and ungrateful words? After all, he was your father.”

Drake angrily shoved his clothes into Frank’s arms, instantly obscuring Frank’s face with the towering garments.

Drake stormed up to Victoria and slapped her across the face. “You dare to hit my sister in front of me? Do you think I’m invisible?”

Victoria’s face instantly had five fingerprints on it. She covered 15:43 Chapter 280 289 Mouchers her face and tearfully accused Thea, “Where did your little brother come from? How come I didn’t know you had another brother?”

Thea did not answer her.

Drake answered for her, “My sister also has her own family. Don’t ever think she is all alone and can be bullied. Let me tell you, as long as I’m here, no one can dare to bully my sister.”

Frank’s face was blocked by a tall pile of goods, only his voice came through. “Drake, add me in, I want to beat her parents so they won’t recognize her. Hmph, any woman who bullies my sister is definitely not a good person.”

Victoria couldn’t believe that Thea had become the center of attention, with so many people supporting her. She felt both angry and jealous in her heart.

After all, Nathan did not utter a single word in her defense.

Thea had no intention of getting involved with Victoria. “Victoria, you should consider yourself lucky. I have already dismissed you as insignificant. If you ever dare to lay a hand on me again in the future, it won’t be as simple as just slapping you back.”

Frank was the best at accounting, “He could make you bankrupt in an instant.”

Drake said, “We’ll see what you have to show off at that time.”

Ava agreed, “A woman who doesn’t know her own life and death.”

Thea took three people and left.

15:43 Chapter 280 11 288 Vouchers Victoria seemed to have gone through a bullying experience, and she was mentally exhausted. She turned to Nathan and asked, “Did they bully me? As my husband, did you just stand by and do nothing?”

Nathan’s gaze fell directly onto Ava’s children’s clothing tote bag, seemingly lost in thought.

Victoria’s questioning, he responded evasively, “Did you provoke her to the point of self–destruction? Don’t you know she has a vengeful personality?”

Victoria was very unwilling. “She just found a powerful backer. Bullying me, who has no backer.” After speaking, she glanced at Nathan secretly.

This self–pitying way used to work repeatedly. Nowadays, Nathan seems to have developed a strong immunity to her performance, and he has become quite indifferent.

“So be sensible and stay away from her in the future.”

Victoria immediately went crazy.“, the esteemed Mrs. Hill of the Hill Group, afraid of someone like her, a penniless and lowly commoner?”

Nathan felt a chill run through his body.

He hated himself for not seeing through Victoria’s arrogant and deceitful nature, where she took advantage of others and reveled in her own success.

“The Hill Group now is not like it used to be. You better keep a low profile,” he warned her through gritted teeth.

15.43 Chapter 280 Victoria said, “A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Hill Group is the Hill Group.”

Nathan gave up his savior complex. “Do as you wish.”

He was even too lazy to tell Victoria about the identities of Drake and Frank.

He felt that Victoria had to hit the south wall to know where it hurts.

He left with a stern face and long strides.

Victoria clumsily chased after him, carrying a shopping bag, and said, “Nathan, can’t you help me carry these things?”

“I’ll be back. I have something to do. I’ll go ahead.” Nathan walked quickly to the parking lot, opened the car door, and climbed in.

Then he heard the sound of the engine. Victoria had just caught up when the car roared away, leaving her covered in exhaust fumes.

Nathan’s eagerness to get rid of Victoria was very apparent.

Victoria angrily stared at the back of the car and stomped her foot, saying, “Hmph. Just wait until I tell Grandpa about this.”

Victoria took a taxi and returned home looking disheveled.

Handing the things to the servant, he then imperiously said, “Put them back in my room for me,”

Victoria turned around and walked towards Grandfather’s residence.

Underneath the Grandfather’s sycamore attic, Victoria 15:43 Chapter 260 unexpectedly saw Nathan’s car. She was surprised: Didn’t Nathan say he had something important to attend to?

11 209 fumbers He clearly had no urgent matters, yet he was unwilling to give her a ride. Victoria instantly became furious.

She will definitely borrow a book from her grandfather later.

Anyway, in this family, at least Grandfather was on her side.

She tiptoed upstairs, and approached the door of the Grandfather’s bedroom. She gently pushed open a crack in the door, only to hear Nathan suddenly mention her name inside.

She trembled and immediately stopped her hand movements.
