Chapter 69 This dress, whether in size, style, or even the potential harm from the chemicals used in its fabric, had been carefully considered by Nathan.
The price was undoubtedly skyâhigh.
Why had Nathan suddenly changed his mind and decided to have her replace Victoria at tonightâs event?
The maid from the Hill family also felt awkward, sympathetically comforting Isabella:
âMadam, would you like to try another store?â
Isabella waved her hand, dismissing the suggestion. Eventually, she walked into the highâend boutique where Victoria was shopping.
Victoria looked up and froze for a moment when she saw Isabella.
She then casually started showing off her dress.
âBella do you think my dress is beautiful?â
Isabella replied subtly, âSis, diamonds represent eternal love.
But with you wearing it, Iâm afraid the elite men will misunderstand and think youâre already married.

Victoriaâs face turned pale, and she quickly changed the subject.
âBella youâre here to buy a dress, right? Pick whichever one you like, Iâll pay for it.â
People around them cast envious glances at Isabella.
The sales assistant, Miss Jones, said, âYouâre really lucky, Miss. Your Sis is so kind to you.â
Isabella stared at the smiling Victoria, lost in thought.
Victoria always liked to project the image of a loving older Sis, but who would know that this soâcalled Sisly love had cost Isabella her kidney, her husband, and perhaps even her life?
Isabella smiled slyly.
She would let Victoria know that the role of the doting Sis wasnâ t so easy to maintain.
Looking around the store, she decided to pass on the ridiculously expensive dresses on display and avoid being labeled as the Sis who lived off her older Sisâs blood.
Instead, she casually picked one from the rack:
âIâll take this one.â
This dress, though stacked on the shelves, was still quite expensive, second only to the limited edition gowns displayed in the store.

1702 Chapter 59 1288 Vouche Victoria was certain that Isabella didnât know much about fashion, and she knew Isabellaâs frugal nature, so she assumed she could easily play the role of the caring Sis.
But when Victoria saw the price tag on the dress, her face instantly fell.
âBella, this dress doesnât suit you. Your skin is so fair, this color doesnât match.â
The maid muttered softly, âIf you donât want to buy it, donât make a big deal out of it.â
Isabella held her head high and instructed the maid, âI want this one... and these as well. Pack them all up.â
She casually picked out a few more dresses until the maid quietly informed her, âMadam, the money Mr. Hill gave might not be enough.â
Isabella stopped shopping at that point.
She bought five dresses in total and casually handed one to Victoria:
âSis, my brotherâinâlaw gives me so much pocket money.
I canât spend it all, so you can help me.â
Victoria watched as Isabella spent money freely, without a care in the world. She frowned.
It was as if Isabella was slicing off a piece of her flesh, and she 17.05 72 Chapter 69 17 289 Vouchers felt the pain deeply.
âBella, buying so many dresses and spending so much money, donât you feel sorry for how hard Nathan works for his money?â
The maid retorted, âMiss Moore, your dresses cost much more than my Madamâs.
Youâre so extravagant, yet you want my Madam to be frugal?â
Victoria was embarrassed, unable to reply. After a long pause, she finally said something insipid, âIâm wearing these for social events. Unlike you, who seems to be banned from attending your husbandâs gatherings.â
Her tone was dripping with sarcasm.
Isabella responded coldly, âSorry to disappoint you, but my brotherâinâlaw has already invited me to attend tonightâs event.
I heard itâs very important, and no other woman can replace me, so I must accompany him personally.â
A hint of pity flashed in Victoriaâs eyes.
âBella Nathan is just indulging you.
Heâs already prepared for me to attend the banquet.â
Isabella clenched her fists under her sleeves.
Victoriaâs mocking tone grew even sharper.
