A coldness welled up in Nathan's eyes as he asked her expressionlessly, “If you don’t feel secure, | can quit my
job. It's just that our lives will be tighter. What do you think?”
Victoria's artificial crying abruptly ceased.
If Nathan quit, it meant losing a high income. She wouldn't be able to afford luxury handbags and expensive
imported medications.
She instantly switched to the role of a virtuous wife. “Nathan, | cannot selfishly hinder your progress.”
Nathan said wearily, “Then you go hfirst. | still have to go back to attend the celebration banquet.”
Victoria left with a reluctant expression on her face.
She took a few steps, hoping so much that Nathan would. change his mind and keep her. But when she mustered
up the courage to turn around, she found that Nathan had already walked away briskly.
Victoria's heart sank to the bottom once again.
Her tears flowed as she said, “Nathan, you must never disappoint my heart.”
Victoria returned hin a state of despair, her restless heart driving her to desperately seek knowledge about
her future with Nathan.

She took out The City of Cycles and caressed its surface, feeling both nervous and anxious Last time, in her
dream within The City of Cycles, she saw her malicious self. She didn’t know if Nathan would discover her true
identity, and if he did, whether he would forgive her.
Will their ending lead to a rupture?
Victoria entered dreamland in such anxiety.
This time, she witnessed the scene of her malicious escalation: in order to completely eliminate Isabella and her
daughter, she pretended to be sick using a ruse, and even forced Isabella to make Kassidy donate blood for her.
Then she bribed the nurse. When taking Kassidy’s blood, she deliberately used a dirty needle.
Kassidy was already in poor health, and that infection directly took her life.
It also took away Isabella’s will to live. In the end, Isabella chose to commit suicide, staying by her daughter's
side.
And she just pretended to cry in front of Nathan, shedding a few fake tears of false compassion, and Nathan
actually believed her.

Then she married Nathan as she had wished.
Unfortunately, the dream ended here.
Because Victoria accidentally dropped The City of Cycles from her hands, it shattered into pieces.

However, her panic disappeared in an instant.”
Thinking about her past self doing all the bad things, Nathan could still be lenient towards her. She then kept her
heart inside her stomach.
She firmly believed at that moment: Nathan loved her
unconditionally, and no matter what mistakes she made, he would support her without hesitation.
Thinking about it, Nathan loved her so deeply that it was simply impossible for him to cheat.
She firmly believed that fate had always been favoring her.
In the evening, Nathan returned home, seeming to be in a good mood, as the gloom that had clouded his face
for several days lifted.
Victoria saw him coming home, and the princess’s heart.was uneasy. She pouted and jealously said, “So you
know how to chome.”
Nathan saw her, and his radiant face instantly dimmed.
Victoria was still waiting for him to comfort herself. If the comfort was not enough, she was not planning to
forgive him easily.
Nathan, however, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and started scrolling through his phone.
Victoria's face flushed with heat. Nathan was completely ignoring her.
He ignored her, so she had no choice but to approach him

“Nathan, the hospital calledtoday and said that Dad's condition is somewhat pessimistic. They suggested
that we use a self-funded antibiotic for him, which costs 80,000 dollars. What do you think, should we use it or
not?”
Nathan put down his phone and stared at Victoria fixedly.
“Victoria, he was your father, | couldn’t make decisions for you recklessly.”
Victoria held his hand and coquettishly said, “But Nathan, you know our family’s financial situation is not good.
I'm afraid that if | spend money on my dad, it will make you unhappy.”
Nathan drooped his eyelids and weakly said, “Victoria, | won't stop you from doing anything with your own
money.”
Victoria stared wide-eyed, “Nathan, you wantto use my own money?”
Nathan pulled her hand and said, ‘I'm sorry, | was financially tight recently. So, this tI couldn't help you.”
“How is that possible? You paid Thea a appearance fee of two million for attending the celebration banquet,
didn’t you?”
Nathan said, “Oh, that money was sponsored by the company.”
Victoria questioned, “Nathan, as a high-ranking executive of the Sanchez Group, your salary shouldn't be low,
right?”
Nathan walked up to the nearby side table and took out his employment contract. He returned to Victoria's side
and threw the contract at her, saying, “This is the employment contract |

signed with the Sanchez Group.”
Victoria eagerly took it and started flipping through it. However, she saw in the contract terms that Nathan would
only receive at one-dollar salary agreement upon joining the Sanchez Group for one year. Only if his
performance met the standards would he receive a bonus.
Victoria's disappointment can be imagined.
She thought she had married a rich man, but Nathan was as poor as a church mouse. She pouted and said,
“Nathan, what should we do? I spent all the money on buying a dress a few days ago. Now we have no money
left at home.”
Victoria used to throw difficult problems to Nathan.
She knew Nathan would not bear to see her in distress, and he would definitely take the initiative to share the
tasks with her.
“Go return the formal dress.”
When Nathan's voice rang out, Victoria was almost enveloped in despair.
She, who cares about her face so much, finally bought a luxury item that could make her look good in front of
her best friend. But now she has to return it? Where can she put her face?

“Nathan, no,” she refused firmly.
Nathan asked her, “Otherwise, do you have any other ways to raise money?”
Victoria bit her lip, desperately holding back her tears, not letting them fall. “Nathan, you know | don’t have
many trustworthy

friends...”
Nathan did not compromise with her tears. “The friends in your circle usually love to show off various bags. Don’t
they have a lot of spare money?”
Victoria's tears streamed down her face.
“Nathan, can’t you help me? | am a weak woman...”
Nathan sighed, filled with helplessness. “It’s not that | don’t want to help you, but ever since | started being with
you, my dad has been very disappointed in me. As a result, he kickedout of the Hill Group. Now my worth
has plummeted, and my former friends avoidwhen they see me.”
Victoria's tears flowed even more violently. “Nathan, do you regret marrying me?”
Nathan's heart trembled.
Do you regret it?
Marrying her was his former belief.
But now, after waking up from the big dream, he only felt that marrying her was a nightmare.
His voice was hoarse as he said, “Victoria, you have to understand me. My current situation is different from the
past, so | can no longer shield you from all the storms like | used to.”
Victoria cried helplessly.
The couple looked at each other in silence.

Finally, Nathan sighed and said, “A poor and humble couple has
a hundred sorrows.”
Victoria sobbed sadly.
