Chapter 63 âWhoâs going to pay back the medical expenses you borrow?â
Isabella raised an eyebrow and asked her mother.
Mooreâs mother replied as if it were obvious, âYouâre my daughter, of course, the money you borrow has to be repaid by you.
Isabella shouted angrily, âBut Iâm not your only daughter!â
Mooreâs mother snapped, âWhy are you so petty? I didnât raise your Sis, so how could I ask her for money? Besides, your Sisâs health is so bad, she needs a lot of money. Whatâs wrong with you helping her with the financial burden?â
Isabella trembled with rage. âYou...â
Theodoreâs long, jadeâlike fingers lightly tapped on Isabellaâs shoulder, silently comforting her.
Isabella turned to him and gave him a grateful smile, though it was bitter and forced.
âSis, youâre a bit worked up. Let me talk to her?â
Theodore suggested.
Isabella knew that when facing her mother, she was too emotionally overwhelmed to have a rational conversation, so she stepped back.

Theodore moved forward, positioning himself in front of Isabella to shield her. His handsome face, as cold as ice, looked down with a frosty gaze at Mooreâs mother.
âI can lend you the money, but you must sign an agreement to sever all ties with Bella.â
The aura he exuded instantly subdued Mooreâs mother.
She stood frozen, stunned for a moment. After a long pause, she finally sneered, âI raised her so big, I may not have earned much credit, but I certainly suffered. And now you want her to sever ties with me? Whoâs going to take care of me when Iâm. old?
Iâll be lying in bed, depending on her to care for me.â
âIsabella has always been good at taking care of people. Her Sis isnât as attentive, as she is,â Mooreâs mother said, recalling how Isabella had cared for her when she was young. A satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Theodoreâs eyes grew colder, and he said with a hint of menace, âYouâd better check with a lawyer. A daughter like Bella, who has no income, can give you very little in terms of support. Maybe a few hundred a month, and thatâs only if sheâs willing to give it to you. If sheâs not happy, she can drag it out... And as for you wanting her to take care of you, well, you know how you treated Bella in the past.â
Mooreâs mother froze. She wanted to argue, but the sharpness of Theodoreâs words stopped her.
âIâll give you one million,â he continued, his voice cutting through the air like a blade, âand this will be your only chance to get rich.â

Mooreâs mother was deep in thought. In fact, after Isabella left home, she had entertained the idea of suing her to get her to pay her living expenses once she came of age. However, a lawyer had told her that, given Isabellaâs lack of income and the fact that she wasnât yet legally required to support her mother, her chances of winning were zero.
But now... seeing Isabella dressed so lavishly and with the air of a wealthy young lady, Mooreâs motherâs greedy desires were fully awakened.
âMy Bella is Mrs. Hill, sheâs worth a lot,â Mooreâs mother tried to negotiate.
âOne million, is that supposed to be a bargain?â
Isabellaâs face darkened as she coldly replied. âWhen I married Nathan, we signed a prenuptial agreement. the Hill familyâs money has nothing to do with me.â
Mooreâs mother reached up to scratch her head, furious at Isabellaâs ignorance. âHow could you be so stupid? How could you sign such an agreement?â
Theodore grabbed Mooreâs motherâs hand and forcefully pushed her away. She stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
His cold voice, as chilling as a demonâs, echoed above her head. âBella has been begging on the streets since she was six, giving you every penny she earned. If you count it, youâve raised her for six years, but sheâs spent over ten years supporting you through begging. Youâve gained far more than you deserve.â
âI suggest you learn to be content, or Iâll sue you for child abuse.â

Mooreâs mother was clearly frightened. âWho are you? Do you have that kind of power?â
Though it was a question, her voice lacked confidence.
