Chapter 90 Isabella stared expressionlessly at the two of them. While Nathan comforted Victoria, no one seemed to notice the bitterness in her own heart.
288 iVouchers At some point, Theodore emerged and stood before Isabella, his tall, slender figure making it impossible for her to ignore him, even if she tried.
She finally forced a pale smile and said, âYoung Master Sanchez, congratulations on getting what you wanted.â
Theodore raised the âCity of Reincarnationâ with a knowing look. âThis thing? Itâs not what I wanted, but rather my Sisâs wish. She likes it, so I bought it for her.â
Guillermo, following closely behind, sneered, âWhen did you get a Sis, Theodore?â
Theodore smiled and looked at Isabella.
In an instant, Isabella understood the real reason Theodore had bought the âCity of Reincarnationâ
Her eyes widened in shock. He had spent so much money on something so valuable, just for her?
Chapter 90 288 iVouchers But she couldnât accept this gift without reason.
âYoung Master Sanchez, this necklace means a great deal to me. I would like to buy it from you. Of course, I canât afford it right now, but I am willing to write an IOU and repay you for it over my lifetime.â
Isabella didnât want to owe Theodore any favors.
To her surprise, Theodore gave her a sly wink and said, âIsabella, since you want the necklace, come find me at my company sometime, and we can make a deal.â
Isabella nodded eagerly.
However, Nathan stepped in, suddenly standing between them, taking matters into his own hands and rejecting Theodoreâs offer on Isabellaâs behalf. âYoung Master Sanchez, my wife doesnât know how to do business. If you want to transfer the lock, I can negotiate a deal with you.â
He added, âI hear youâre quite interested in that plot of land in the eastern district?â
The land in the eastern district was a highly soughtâafter project. Many prominent companies from the capital had previously bid for it, but in the end, it was acquired by the Hill family. However, the Hill family had left it undeveloped for two years.
32 002 Chapter 90 1288 ¡Vouchers Now that the eastern district was thriving, the value of the land had skyrocketed, multiplying several times over.
Using this land as bait was an incredibly tempting offer for any businessman.
Isabella felt an uneasy feeling rising in her chest. Business people never passed up on profit, and she was genuinely worried that Theodore might succumb to the temptation and transfer the âLock of Heartsâ to Nathan.
She even shook her head in a silent plea to stop him from agreeing to the deal.
On the side, Victoria eagerly added fuel to the fire, âYoung Master Sanchez, if Mr. Hill offers you a partnership in the eastern district project, youâll make a fortune. Donât miss out on this opportunity. Itâs a onceâinâaâlifetime chance.â
Theodore furrowed his brow.
He found Victoriaâs patronizing tone repulsive.
Looking down at her from his height, he sneered, âMr. Hill wants the lock so badly, just for Miss Victoria, doesnât he?â
Nathan didnât respond. After all, both Siss, Victoria and Isabella, wanted the necklace. But if he gave it to Victoria, it would upset his wife, Isabella. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like Chapter 90 1288 (Vouchers typical scumbag behavior.
His silence, however, was an implicit admission.
Theodoreâs tone shifted. âIâm sorry, but I have no interest in that plot of land in the eastern district. So, Mr. Hill, I choose to make a deal with Miss Isabella.â
Nathan was left dumbfounded. âWhy?â
He couldnât understandâwhat could Theodore possibly gain by doing business with Isabella?
Theodore leaned in closer to Nathan. âMr. Hill, women are easy to deceive.â
Nathan couldnât catch the subtlety in Theodoreâs words. He remained stern and tried to persuade him, âYoung Master Sanchez, though Isabella is my wife, the Hill family wonât invest a single penny on her business dealings. If you think you can get the Hill familyâs wealth through her, youâd better forget it.â
