Chapter 94 What shamed him was that he was financially strapped and couldnât come up with ten billion. What enraged him was that Theodore had manipulated Isabella so thoroughly.
âFool.â
Nathan ground his teeth as he cursed Isabella.
But Isabella remained calm and composed, saying, âNathan, if youâre afraid Iâll drag you down, then just divorce me.â
âIsabella, between us, thereâs only widowhood, no divorce.â
Back in the bedroom, Isabella took out the precious lock, letting it shimmer and flow in her hand. Yet her eyes slowly filled with deep sorrow.
âMom, I know Iâm dying soon. I overheard you talking with Auntie Doctor.
Mom, I know youâre heartbroken, and you canât bear to lose me. But Thave to leave you soon.
This lock, Iâve always worn it, but now Iâm giving it to you. Let it 0.00%

288 Wonders stay with you and keep you company for me.â
She cried uncontrollably: âNo, Mom wonât let you die, I wonât let you go.â
âMom, donât be sad. Iâll tell you a secret: if you wear this lock, youâll have many sweet dreams.
I dreamed of you and a handsome uncle. He loves you so much, Mom.â
âMom, Daddy loves Auntie more than he loves us. So we donât need him anymore.
Weâre taking back our love for him. You can go find that handsome uncle.â
Tiny, chubby hands weakly wiped away the tears on her motherâ s face.
At that moment, her sadness overwhelmed her, like a river in flood. She had no energy left to consider her childâs strange words.
As a result, she hadnât discovered the secret of the âCity of Reincarnationâ in time.
âMom, you must wear the lock around your neck... please, donât 21.69%
15:42 let it be tricked away by Uncle.â
The child clutched the lock around her neck and pressed it into her motherâs hand. In her final moments, her diminishing life force radiated a surprising compassion.
It was a compassion that didnât fit a childâs age.
She clung tightly to her daughter, but the little oneâs breath. slipped away like sand slipping through her fingersâslowly, uncontrollably fading.
âAh...â
The cry of agony echoed. Was it a dream or reality? Isabella couldnât tell anymore.
The heartâwrenching farewell, like a mark engraved in her bones, was awakened in an instant, and every cell in her body ached with excruciating pain.
Suddenly, Nathan heard a shriek from upstairs. His brows furrowed tightly.
Reluctantly, he stood up and marched toward the stairs.
15421 He pushed open the door to Isabellaâs room and saw her curled up in a corner. Walking toward her, he asked, irritated, âWhatâs going on?â
Isabella looked up at him, her eyes bloodshot with fury.
Nathan assumed she had suffered some injustice outside, and his tone was dismissive: âHmph, Isabella, I warned you. Youâre a woman with neither brains nor wealth, yet you still wanted to do business with Theodore. What, did he bully you?â
He smirked and dragged over a chair to sit in front of her, a cruel glint in his eyes. âGo ahead, tell me how he bullied you. Should I go and avenge you?â
He didnât notice the storm brewing in her eyes. Her gaze, no longer soft, turned cold with anger. Suddenly, she erupted, kicking and hitting him with all her might.
âNathan, I hate you. I hate you.â
âGet out of my way. I never want to see you again.â
Nathan frowned. âWhat the hell is wrong with you? I didnât provoke you. If youâre so angry, go find the person who bullied you.â
âIsabella, donât think that just because Iâm your husband, I should pay for your foolish mistakes.â
1542 Chapter 04 Isabella, as though completely mad, tore at him. âDivorce me, Nathan! I want a divorce!â
Nathan shoved her away, and Isabella collapsed weakly onto the floor.
Nathan, disgusted, brushed off the spots she had touched.
