Chapter 280: Chapter 281

Chapter 281 “Grandfather, I wanted to divorce Victoria,” Nathan’s voice was filled with suppressed sadness and determination.

Victoria’s face turned pale, her pupils dilated. She never even dreamed that one day Nathan would entertain the thought of leaving her.

Did he want to kill her dream just a few days after Lady Hill had this beautiful dream?

She pressed her ear against the door panel and continued to listen to the conversation between Nathan and her grandfather.

At this moment, she only relied on Grandfather, hoping that he would bring her justice. She believed that she had won his favor.

She thought that Grandfather still had some goodwill towards her. Therefore, after she entered the Hill family, Grandfather even gave her a generous gift.

Sure enough, Grandfather flatly refused Nathan’s request, saying, “No.”

Victoria patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Little did anyone know that Nathan had grown tired of his marriage with Victoria. His determination to divorce was unwavering, as he firmly held onto his belief. “Grandfather, my marriage with Victoria is nothing but a name.”

“What were you doing before?” Grandpa Hill was very angry. “No matter how many flaws she has, she is the person you insisted 15:47 Chapter 201 on choosing.”

The sound of Nathan’s sobbing and choking came through, “I regret it. Grandpa, I regret it.”

After a long silence, Mr. Hill let out a deep sigh.

“Weren’t you very infatuated with her before? I still remember how you looked when you first mentioned her to me. You said that although she wasn’t very pretty and came from a humble background, and also had poor health, it was precisely because of her disadvantaged background that she was resilient, optimistic, and lively, which attracted you. You even said that you would love her for a lifetime. Never leave, never abandon.”

Nathan was lost in thought, “Yes, I thought I would spend my whole life with her. It was because of this ideal that, even though I knew she made many mistakes, I could never bring myself to leave her.”

“So now you tell me, what is the reason for your divorce?” Old Master Hill, after all, was an experienced person and he guessed most of it, “Is it because she is not only ugly and weak, but also vain, domineering, and forceful?”

“Did she love your money more than she loved you?”

“Wasn’t it that as a wife, besides causing you endless troubles every day, she wouldn’t take the initiative to provide emotional value for you?”

“Did she not prepare a bowl of ginseng soup for you after you had a busy day?”

1547 Nathan covered his face with both hands, in excruciating pain.

“No. None of them. Grandfather. If she only had these small flaws, I would actually be willing to tolerate her.”

Mr. Hill was very shocked, “What did she do again to make you so desperate?”

Nathan said, “If I told you that she was actually a treacherous and venomous woman, a murderer who plotted for wealth, an unfaithful and disloyal person, would you believe me?”

Mr. Hill was extremely shocked. “Do you have... evidence?”

Nathan said, “Grandfather, I had no evidence. But I was the person in this world who least wanted her to turn bad, as it would make me look so foolish.”

Mr. Hill said, “I believe you. I know how much wealth and glory you gave up for Victoria.”

Mr. Hill’s tone suddenly turned strong, “But Nathan, the Hill family has already been on the verge of collapse, and your influence is not as great as before. You divorced Isabella at the cost of marrying her, ruining your future. And now, for the sake of divorcing her, do you know the consequences of what you’re doing?”

Nathan said, “I knew I would become the laughingstock of the world. But I wasn’t afraid...”

Mr. Hill shook his head and said, “No, it is not just a matter of becoming a laughingstock to the world. You will completely ruin the future of the Hill family. If you divorce Victoria, the Hill family will soon disappear completely from the Capital. I will not allow 1547 M Chapte 281 you to do this.”

Nathan was in great pain and said, “Grandfather, the Hill family was beyond redemption.”

Mr. Hill said, “Although the Hill family is not as prosperous as before, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. If you manage it with dedication, there might be a chance for a comeback, after all, your grandfather also started from a small workshop. Don’t be discouraged, Nathan, with your intelligence, it won’t be long before you revive the Hill Group.”

Nathan said, “Grandfather, even if the Hill Group made a comeback, so what? The vast family business, no one is there to inherit it.”

Old Master Hill sighed despondently and said, “It’s not your fault. There are so many women in the world, why did you have to fall in love with one who couldn’t bear children?”

Nathan earnestly reflected on himself and said, “It was my poor judgment.”

Victoria at the door, heard these heart–wrenching words, feeling as if thousands of silver needles were piercing her heart.

Nathan had reached such a point where he already detested her.

He actually said that she was as venomous as a snake and called her a poisonous woman who plotted to harm others for money.

However, what Mr. Hill said next was even more heart- wrenching for her. “Nathan, Victoria is indeed not a suitable match for you. But now is not the best time for you to divorce her. The only way for you to get rid of her is if she dies.”

Nathan remained silent for a long time.

Victoria was chilled to the bone, her steps were unsteady, and she fled in a disheveled manner.

Returning to her room, Victoria felt that her internal organs not yet settled back into place.

This aristocratic family was simply terrifying.

On the surface, they all appeared to be philanthropists, but in reality, they treated human lives as insignificant.

had She didn’t know if Nathan, after receiving Grandfather’s orders, would use some shady and illegal means against her.

She just felt that, at the moment, she had to escape from the Hill family.

So when Nathan came home that evening, Victoria pretended to be calm and said to Nathan, “Nathan, I want to go back to my parents‘ house for a few days.”

Nathan examined her face and asked, “Why did you suddenly want to go home?”

Victoria said, “The doctor has been calling me recently, saying that my father’s condition has worsened and he may not make it. I thought, since I don’t have much to do lately, I might as well go and accompany my father.” She carried herself with a generous attitude.

Since Nathan said that she was not loyal and filial, she would Chapter 281 act as a filial daughter to show them.

Nathan’s expression was indescribable, with his deep black pupils filled with doubt.

“Oh. Then you may go back,” he said.

Victoria looked out of the window as the pitch–black night descended, engulfing the entire land as if it were devoured by a monster.

She looked a little disappointed at Nathan and said, “Nathan, can you take me home?”

Nathan said, “Okay.”

He cooperatively drove the car out of the basement. After Victoria got in the car, the two of them looked at each other in silence.

Victoria awkwardly turned her head to look out of the window. At this moment, she suddenly felt like mocking herself for being overly sentimental.

Before this, Nathan always catered to her every request, and she would think it was his way of showing love to her. Now she realizes it was just a habit.

He was slowly weaning himself off her.

When one day he completely let go of her, she became nothing more than a familiar stranger to him.
