Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Isabella looked at him innocently, her expression one of pure confusion.

But Nathan was furious as he stepped up to her, grabbing her roughly. His grip on her wrist was so tight that it sent a sharp pain through her body.

“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 have any idea how much she suffered today because of the alcohol?”

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with fury as he roared at her like a wild beast.

“Nathan, what are you doing? I don’t understand,” Isabella attempted to break free of his grasp, her voice feigning confusion.

Though she claimed not to understand, in truth, her mind was as clear as ever. She had known all along that Theodore had made Victoria drink those two glasses. Given Victoria’s frail health, especially with her one kidney, it was impossible for her body to handle the alcohol, In a strange way, Isabella felt a sense of satisfaction. After all, Victoria was only enduring the same pain that Isabella herself had suffered before.

Nathan, seeing her feigned confusion, the innocence in her wide 1709 Chapter 77 288 Vouchers eyes, and the stark contrast between this simple, plain appearance and the glamorous, fashionable woman at the banquet, felt a sinking realization.

He let go of her wrist, slumping into the couch in frustration.

He couldn’t understand. What was Isabella’s status? How could she have possibly orchestrated the people at the banquet to target and retaliate against Victoria like that? And with her intelligence, she couldn’t have planned such a complex scheme, one that had caught him off guard so completely.

He had acted impulsively, and now he felt like he was lost in his thoughts.

Finally, he slumped in defeat on the couch and said, “Your Sis drank too much and her kidney disease has relapsed. She’s in the hospital.”

Isabella blinked innocently, her voice dripping with schadenfreude. “It’s karma.”

Nathan’s anger flared up. “You...”

Isabella leaned back nonchalantly, “Who told you to go back on your word and have her replace me at the banquet? If that hadn’t happened, then I would have been the one drinking and suffering.”

Nathan’s face froze as he struggled with the awkwardness of the situation.

Just then, the phone rang from the hospital.

Nathan immediately picked it up, eager to hear the news. He 1709)

Chupter 77 288 Vouchers couldn’t hear the other side of the conversation, but he saw how his gaze turned calculating as he kept his eyes fixed on Isabella.

Isabella sensed something was off and started to make a move to escape.

But Nathan, quick on his feet, caught up with her, grabbing her hand tightly. “Isabella, your Sis’s life is at risk. You need to give her blood. We’re going to the hospital now.”

Isabella nearly collapsed under the weight of his words, her legs giving way. Desperation flooded her eyes. “Nathan, you want me to donate blood? Have you even asked if I’m willing?”

Nathan stood frozen, taken aback. He had assumed that someone as kind–hearted as Isabella would be willing to help her Sis.

“She’s your Sis. Shouldn’t you save her?” he demanded, his voice almost pleading.

Isabella’s face twisted in fury as she clenched her fists, shouting back at him. “I’m not willing!”

At first, Nathan’s expression was stiff, and then anger overtook him. He grabbed her wrist with a tight grip, his tone harsh and authoritative. “She’s your Sis! If you don’t save her, who else will?”

Isabella sneered. “She already took my kidney–why should she take my blood too?”

“Isabella, your Sis is very important to me. I can’t let her die,” Nathan’s eyes darkened, a shadow of pain flickering across them.

Chapter 77 258 Vouchers “Then give her your own blood,” Isabella shouted frantically. “Whether she lives or dies doesn’t matter to me. Why should I save her with my blood?”

Nathan stood frozen, staring at her in disbelief. “Isabella, how can you be so cold–hearted? You weren’t like this before.”

“What was I like before?” Isabella met his eyes with a sharp. glare.

She genuinely wanted to know–did he remember how she had been?

Nathan paused, his expression softening slightly as he reminisced. “You used to be so selfless. You always did what I asked, whether it was donating your kidney to Victoria, making porridge for me, waiting up for me no matter how late, being polite to both me and your Sis...”
