Chapter 44 Should she be grateful to him?
She often wondered, if not for Nathan, what would her fate have been? Would she have remained hidden at the bottom of society, or would she have fought her way out with her unyielding stubbornness and walked down a path of success?
For a long time, she saw Nathan as her savior, revered him as though he were a god.
But now, after witnessing the hardships of life, after unconditionally supporting many helpless orphans and widows, her thoughts began to waver.
She even found herself deeply rejecting the ârescueâ that Nathan had offered her back then.
Because his intentions had been selfâserving, not deserving of the respect she had once given him.
He wasnât a philanthropist; he was a fraud.
This truth was a pain that words could not express within her heart.
Divorce was imminent.
The next day.
Chapter 44 280 Voucher At the entrance of the Hill family villa.
Isabella, dressed in simple clothes and with no makeup, looked slightly haggard from having stayed up all night. She showed up unexpectedly at the Hill familyâs doorstep.
But someone had arrived before her: A luxury car that is worth millions stopped at the villaâs entrance, and Victoria stepped out with several gift bags in hand.
She rang the doorbell.
The butler opened the door, his expression brightening when he saw Victoria. âMiss Moore, Madam Hill has been saying for a while that you hadnât come by. Itâs like you answered her calling!â
Victoria handed one of the gift bags to the butler. âRita, this one is for you.â
The butler took the gift with a smile, âMiss Moore, every time you visit, you bring so many gifts. Even the servants get a share.
Youâre so thoughtful.â
He enthusiastically welcomed Victoria into the house.
In the taxi, Isabella and Ava watched the scene unfold. Ava couldnât help but comment, âPlaying up to her brotherâinâlawâs family so hard, itâs obvious, what sheâs after.â
Isabella smiled, âYouâre still too young to understand love and relationships.â
Ava picked up the envelope from the car. âSister, let me take this in for you. You donât need to see those disgusting people.â
Chapter 44 âAlright.â

Nathan and his mother were sitting on the sofa when they saw Victoria. Nathan quickly stood up and walked over to her, taking the heavy gift bag from her hands.
He couldnât help but complain, âVictoria, you really donât need to bring gifts every time. Youâre not well; how could you carry something so heavy?â
Victoria gazed at him tenderly, âNathan, Iâve received some fine fabrics, so I made a few outfits for you and Uncle and Auntie.
The New Year is coming soon, and there will be many banquets. I want you all to look dignified when you attend them.â
Nathanâs mother put down her teacup with a sigh, âAh, Victoria, youâre so thoughtful for Nathan. Itâs a pity my Nathan doesnât have the luck to marry you. Such a shame.â
She then gave Nathan a reproachful look, âI donât understand whatâs going through your mind. Youâre the president of a listed company, yet you would marry someone like that just to repay a debt of gratitude? Look at what sheâs done since your marriage âshe ran away from home and disappeared without a trace... Itâ s infuriating.â
Mentioning Isabella made Nathanâs face darken.
Nathanâs mother continued, âIt would be better if you just divorced her and cleaned things up.â
Chapter 44 Nathanâs tone was firm, âMom, Isabella has done us a great favor. If I divorce her, Iâll be labeled as someone who kick down the ladder after climbing up. It will tarnish my image and hurt the company. Donât ever say such things again.â
