Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Isabella’s voice was icy. “Being reasonable and not letting things slide? It’s better than causing a scene for no reason.”

Victoria choked back a sob. “Sis, we came here today to invite you to my celebration party. I really hope you can come, but if you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I just really want to share my joy with you.”

With that, Victoria handed her an invitation and staggered away.

Nathan stood still, looking at Victoria, then at Isabella, finally letting out a sigh as he went after Victoria.

His choice had always been Victoria.

Isabella casually tossed the invitation into the fire.

The sharp smell of burning plastic quickly filled every corner of the room.

Isabella rolled her eyes. “Nathan, if you want to be her lapdog, that’s your business. Don’t drag me into it.”

Nathan’s face paled slightly. He awkwardly tried to explain, “Your Sis is unwell. I’m just taking care of her. Why do you have to speak so harshly?”

Isabella sneered. “I haven’t seen you care this much for me, your *real* wife...”

Nathan looked uncomfortable.

Victoria, with tears in her eyes, said, “Bella, Nathan and I are in love. His marriage to you was forced. If you have any conscience, you should return him to me.”

Nathan angrily reprimanded her. “Victoria, what are you talking about?”

At that moment, Isabella suddenly felt a wave of disgust wash over her and almost vomited.

Victoria glanced nervously at Nathan, almost as if worried he might realize something was amiss. It was as if she felt the weight of his gaze, sensing that he might figure out the true nature of her feelings..

Nathan’s suspicious gaze was fixed on Isabella.

Nathan was speechless.

Victoria was speechless.

Nathan’s expression darkened. “Isabella, it looks like you’ve been running wild for too long. You’ve lost all sense of propriety. In a few days, come back home with me. You need to calm down.”

Isabella shot him a look of disdain and rolled her eyes.

Nathan froze.

Isabella’s defiance startled him once again.

He firmly said, “Isabella, you don’t have a choice.”

Isabella saw a certain cold, businesslike determination in his eyes that sent a wave of panic through her heart.
