Chapter 154: Chapter 155

Chapter 155 “I heard that Mr. Nanthan was selling a house? I happened to be in need of purchasing a villa, so I came.”

Nathan looked at him in shock. At that moment, he had to suspect that Thea and Theo had conspired against him. They had set him up.

++

“Thea went to great lengths to transfer The City of Cycles to me. I was just about to sell my house to raise money, and then you showed up at my door. Theo, were you two doing this on purpose?” Nathan said, slightly angry.

Theo looked into his chestnut–colored pupils and smiled unabashedly, “Yes.”

Nathan was angry.

“Go away, I won’t sell it to you,” Nathan exclaimed angrily.

Theo, on the other hand, had a gentle and refined attitude, truly embodying the principle of using softness to overcome hardness. “Mr. Nanthan, no one dares to take your house except for me. Don’t you know that your father has already banned this property?”

Nathan instantly petrified like a statue.

He never expected that one day he would be in an opposing position with his father.

Theo added, “Mr. Nanthan, you used to be an honorable person.

17 Chapter 155 If you don’t return the money owed to my family by Thea, I will have no choice but to spread the word about your past behavior as a debtor.”

Nathan has always been concerned about his reputation, and as a businessman, integrity is of utmost importance to him. If he were to become a dishonest person, he would not be able to establish himself in the business world.

On one side, there was Alaric’s oppression towards him, and on the other side, there was Theo’s relentless pursuit. Nathan finally gave up. “Alright, I will transfer the house to you.”

Theo was well–prepared. “Why wait for the perfect day when we can do the paperwork today?”

Nathan nodded indifferently.

Housing Authority.

The transfer procedure lasted for a full one and a half hours before all the necessary steps were completed.

Although Nathan received a huge amount of money for the house, he couldn’t be happy.

Theo, with a hint of cruelty, said, “Mr. Nanthan, please move out of the villa as soon as possible. I also need to move in quickly.”

Nathan frowned and said, “I could.”

He returned home dejectedly, and Victoria walked over confidently and sat down next to him. “Nathan, you haven’t been looking too well lately. Is it because of work exhaustion?”

Nathan, however, handed her a bomb directly. “Victoria, pack 17 28 Chapter 155 your bags. We were leaving here soon.”

“Why?” Victoria’s pupils trembled Nathan said, “I have already sold this house to Theo.”

Victoria looked resentful and asked, “So where will we live in the future?”

Nathan said, “I had a flat in the city center. Let’s move there first and make do for a while.”

Victoria was unhappy in her heart, so she kept a straight face and stopped talking.

Nathan didn’t bother to take care of her emotions either, he simply collapsed onto the couch.

Victoria asked him in a low voice, “Nathan, haven’t you ever doubted Thea? The two of us have ended up like this because of her mischief behind our backs.”

Nathan lazily said with his eyes closed, “This is what we owed her.”

Victoria exclaimed excitedly, “I just wanted one of her kidneys, the market price for a high–quality kidney is only a few million.

You married her, and she has enjoyed being the wife of a wealthy man for several years. Isn’t that worth a few million? We have long since paid off our debt to her.”

Nathan suddenly opened his eyes. Victoria’s words, which he might not have thought much of before, seemed particularly harsh today.

He asked her coldly, “Victoria, do you really think you don’t owe 17:25 Chapter 155 her anything?”

Victoria blurted out, “Of course.”

Suddenly, she realized that Nathan’s motive for asking this question was unclear, so she quickly tried to make amends and said, “Oh, well, she did me a favor But she has been using that favor to manipulate us, and I just feel like she is too greedy.”

Nathan stared straight at her, and he saw a hint of guilt in her eyes.

His heart tightened involuntarily. He thought she had poor health, so he believed she didn’t have the energy to play mind games.

Moreover, she always presented herself with a tolerant and considerate demeanor. Therefore, he had always indulged her.

“Victoria, I got married to your sister and didn’t spend much money on her. Looking back now, I was really terrible to her, my legitimate wife. It would have been better if she had sold her kidney to someone else instead of giving it to you.”

Victoria’s face turned as pale as paper. “Nathan, what do you mean by that?”

Nathan said, “After she returned to the Moore family, we arrogantly believed that it was her redemption. But we never considered that without our interference, she would have lived a better life.”

Victoria was excited. “Nathan, it’s not like that. You know, my sister had a difficult time before she came back home. We brought her back and only then could she wear beautiful clothes and eat delicacies.”

Chapter 155 11 astuctor Nathan suddenly bent down, lowered his head and stared into Victoria’s eyes. “After she went abroad, she didn’t spend a penny of ours, yet she still lives well. She’s much better off than when she was with us. She has her own career and wears the luxury jewelry that I never had the heart to buy for her...”

Victoria’s face paled.

She looked at Nathan in horror and said, “So, are you blaming me for not treating her well? But Nathan, I just love you too much.

Is it wrong for me to not want to share my lover with other women?”

Nathan said, “We are sorry to her. Victoria, we should compensate her.”

Victoria, with red eyes, said, “She has everything now. And we are the poorest ones. What do we have to compensate?”

Nathan remained silent.

When he was in a superior position, there were many opportunities to compensate Thea.

But now, Thea is the one in a superior position, while he is penniless. He no longer has the ability to compensate her.

Nathan gradually moved the important belongings from the villa, as there were too many things and the hostess Victoria couldn’t help at all, instead slowing down Nathan’s pace. As a result, when the new owner arrived, Nathan and Victoria hadn’t had a chance to leave the villa.

Chapter 15a Thea and Ava came to the door, and Nathan and Victoria were stunned when they saw them.

“How could it be you?” Nathan was dumbfounded.

Jealousy and resentment flickered in Victoria’s eyes.

Thea smirked and said, “Theo gave it to me for free.”

“Gift?” Nathan clearly didn’t believe it.

No matter how good her relationship with Theo was, it would be impossible to give away a five billion mansion for free if it wasn’t true love.

He suddenly remembered the pendant of swallows and rice grains from The City of Cycles, intertwined with each other. Doubt filled his eyes as he asked, “Why would he give you such a valuable asset? Thea, what is your relationship with him?”

Thea’s long eyelashes hung low beneath her milky eyelids, casting a shadow that made her appear mysterious.

Theodore presented her with such a valuable gift. In his mind, did he consider her as a sister or a loyal partner?

In the future, she also didn’t know what they would become like.

“Nathan, my relationship with him. You don’t need to concern yourself.” Thea retorted rudely to Nathan.

Nathan’s face turned pale.

Thea’s next actions not only left him defeated, but also on the verge of a breakdown.
