Semua Bab I Never Regretted Leaving You: Bab 71 - Bab 80

“No reason!” Nathan replied, dismissing her without a second thought.Isabella’s nails almost dug into her flesh. “It’s because Victoria is going with you to the banquet, isn’t it?”Nathan’s face showed a moment of discomfort, but he quickly regained his composure. “Isabella, your sister is more suited for such occasions than you.”Isabella’s fingers curled into fists.In Nathan’s mind, it was as if a permanent mark had been etched onto her—one of shallow ignorance, without background or education.Even though she was now Miss Thea, a globally renowned fashion designer, the prejudice Nathan held against her still stirred feelings of inferiority deep within her.A stubborn, unyielding determination gripped her. She reassured herself: It’s okay, Isabella, it’s not that you’re not capable, it’s that his judgment is flawed.She released her fists and walked elegantly toward Nathan.She looked down at him disdainfully. “Is it really because Victoria is more suitable than me?”Under her burn

The one speaking was Isabella.She had deliberately dressed up today: her hair styled in big waves, her lips painted in fiery red, and wearing a form-fitting emerald green dress. It was both seductive and charming.However, she wore oversized sunglasses that clashed with the elegance of her outfit.But anyone with a keen eye could tell that she clearly didn’t want to reveal her true self."Sir, that's the woman you were looking for," the obsequious assistant of Guillermo said, eyes lighting up.Guillermo stared at the stunning woman in front of him, utterly captivated. He liked women who were bold in their beauty.He whispered to his assistant, "Make sure you get her contact details later."The assistant nodded eagerly, "Understood."Isabella walked with graceful steps, her body swaying like the wind, her hips sending out a deadly allure.Her beauty was dazzling and sensual, yet without being vulgar. For some reason, her radiant charm also carried a hint of purity.As she passed by Nat

Victoria hurriedly stepped back, flustered, and said, "I can't drink."A sharp, mocking laugh came from the crowd. "What are you pretending for? Everyone knows that there are only two kinds of women at events like this: the wives of company CEOs, or assistants who work for them. You're neither Mrs. Hill, nor willing to help Mr. Hill, so what are you even doing here?"Victoria's face turned pale, her expression a mixture of anger and embarrassment.Nathan stepped forward to rescue her. "My wife had an urgent matter and couldn’t attend, so she asked her sister to come in her place. Her sister is unwell and can’t drink, sorry."Victoria sighed with relief, but just as she thought the situation was diffusing, that same voice pressed on, "Mr. Hill, is it true that Mrs. Hill couldn’t make it?"Nathan frowned, eyeing the person with suspicion. "What do you mean by that? Do I not know my own wife’s situation?"The person persisted, "Mrs. Hill was excited to pick out a dress for tonight at my b

Isabella looked at him innocently, her face devoid of any guilt.But Nathan stormed up to her, grabbing her arm roughly, his grip tightening painfully around her wrist."Isabella, did you deliberately set up Victoria? Did you make her the target of ridicule at the banquet, forcing her to drink on my behalf? Do you know what kind of suffering she’s been through after drinking tonight?"Nathan’s eyes were bloodshot, wild with anger as he roared at her, almost like a beast on the hunt."Nathan, what are you doing? I don’t understand," Isabella tried to break free from his grasp, her voice trembling.She said she didn’t understand, but deep down, she was crystal clear. She knew exactly what had happened. Theo had made Victoria drink two glasses of alcohol, and with her compromised health, she never stood a chance.There was a certain satisfaction in her heart—after all, Victoria was simply enduring the same suffering she had once gone through.Nathan saw her confused expression, her innoce

"I don’t feel sorry for you one bit."Isabella wanted to scream in hysterical fury, but her upbringing wouldn’t allow her to throw a tantrum. Instead, she shot him a cold glance, her eyes filled with disgust, before turning to stare out the window.Nathan felt a sudden wave of unease. He reached out to tend to the blood-stained puncture on her arm, but Isabella turned away, stubbornly presenting her thin back to him.Her voice was cold enough to freeze a bull."Nathan, stay away from me. You disgust me."Nathan froze, his hand hovering in mid-air. The atmosphere became tense and oppressive.A while later, the blood test results came back.As Nathan went to fetch the report, Isabella closed her eyes in despair.Her blood type was identical to Victoria’s, and there was no way to escape the fate of becoming her living blood bank.It felt like a repetition of the past life—when Victoria’s platelets mysteriously dropped, Nathan had confined Isabella at home, forcing her to eat pig liver she
