Chapter 158
Isabella was grateful for Nathan's kindness, but her way of repaying him was through small and consistent acts
of kindness. Since then, she becvery caring towards Nathan.
He chome, and she would immediately hand him his slippers. When he got drunk, she would learn to cook
sobering soup for him. When he fell ill and had a fever, the maids in the house would try their best to avoid
contact with him in a very tactful and subtle manner, but only Isabella was not afraid of getting infected. She
foolishly took care of him every day,
undressing him and attending to his needs. When he had a car accident, she even went to the temple, devoutly
kneeling before the Buddha and earnestly begging the high monk to bless him with a consecrated amulet.
The maids at hused to tease her, “Isabella, you are so nice to Mr. Nanthan. Could it be that you have fallen
for him?”
Isabella blushed and shook her head like a tambourine. “How could | possibly have such foolish delusions? Hill is
like an eagle in the sky, while | am just a melon on the ground. We are from different worlds, and it is impossible
for us to be together.”
Seeing the maid's disbelief, Isabella then explained the truth, “Please don’t misunderstand. | never had any
romantic feelings towards Mr. Hill. | was only kind to him as a way to repay him for sponsoring my education.”
She had always been a grateful child, and the maids naturally believed her.

However, her excessive doting on Nathan actually sparked a hint of thoughts that he shouldn't have, making him
arrogant and stubborn.
Every woman who had contact with him, who didn’t have the intention of climbing the social ladder? Isabella, a
girl from a poor family, was probably even more ruthless in her methods to achieve her goals.
“Isabella, do you like me?” Nathan, wearing a black robe with an open collar, exposing his sexy Adam's apple,
cornered Isabella, who was about to bring him tea, on a sunny afternoon.
Isabella opened a pair of innocent and harmless eyes, shining like a galaxy, and looked at Nathan, saying,
“Brother Hill, of course I like you.”
Her frank and cheerful nature puzzled Nathan.
He doubted whether the girl understood what he meant by “liking”.
However, the impatient Nathan, who is always seeking quick success, was unwilling to accept defeat. Therefore,
he deluded himself into thinking that her liking was a romantic interest between a man and a woman.

Since then, he would occasionally tease her.
“Isabella, what did you like about your brother?”
“Although Brother Hill comes from a prestigious family, he does not have the air of a playboy. Instead, he is self-
reliant and diligently manages his own business,” Isabella praised Nathan, her words flowing like a never-ending
stream.
Chapter 159
Nathan was surprised. Was her admiration for him merely admiration for his self-reliance? Unlike other girls, was
she not admiring his luxury car, his connections...
“Isabella, | never expected you to be such an ambitious girl. Will Brother Hill teach you how to do business in the
future?”
Isabella was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Thank you, Brother Hill.”
He did make a promise, giving Isabella shope.,
But in the long years to come. This sentence is like a thunderbolt, a lightning, just exploded in the vast sky, and
then disappeared completely. As if it had never happened.
Did Nathan throw it into the clouds?
Isabella was probably too young, and she was too oblivious to matters of romance. Or perhaps, as a girl who
struggled to survive, she was solely focused on improving herself, so that she would have the means to live a
better life in the future. Therefore, she didn’t understand any of Nathan's subtle hints and innuendos.
Nathan, however, seemed impatient.
He began to launch an active offensive against Isabella.
“Bella, why did you study so hard?”
“Because only through hard work can one find a good job. Only then can | earn a lot of money to repay the
kindness of Brother Hill.”
“In fact, you didn’t have to work so hard. Brother Hill could have supported you for a lifetime.”

The maid was so scared that the porcelain in her hands almost fell to the ground.
Nanthan was being overly attentive to Isabella, it seemed forced.
Fortunately, Isabella was naive and couldn't figure out Nathan's ulterior motives. She immediately smiled and
said, “Brother Hill, | will remember your kindness for a lifetime. But spoilinglike that is not really good for me,
it will only harm me. | will beccomplacent, waste precious tand live a mediocre life because of it.”
Nathan pinched his forehead in pain.
There were many obedient women around him, those women pretended to be pure and virtuous, never to be
tempted by money, just to please him.
Isabella, a woman who emerged from the swamp, was supposed to be vulgar. Therefore, her self-reliance and
independence were merely a disguise.
Nathan had lost patience with Isabella.
He directly revealed his ambition. “Isabella, | have a childhood friend. After seeing your photo, she suspects that
you are her long-lost sister. She wants to meet you.”
Isabella stood up abruptly, her face turning pale. If Nathan could have taken a closer look at her, he would have
noticed that her body was trembling intensely.
Isabella's voice also trembled a little, “Brother Hill, she must have mistakenfor someone else. | am the only
daughter in

my family...”
Nathan frowned unhappily.

Isabella’s lies disgusted him. He attributed Isabella’s motivation for lying to the inherent flaws of the working
class. He was unwilling to delve into the bitterness behind her lies.
“Brother Hill, | had something else to attend to. | will leave first.”
Isabella fled in panic.
She thought she had refused so clearly that she should be able to escape the shackles of fate. However, Nathan,
on the contrary, blocked the door to her freedom.
The next day, he actually brought Victoria home.

The dream cto an abrupt end.
Nathan suddenly woke up for sunknown reason.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
For a long, long time, his mind was blank.
When he regained consciousness, he felt a strong burning sensation in every part of his body - a feeling of
intense shame.
How could he be so narcissistic?
In the past, as an authority figure, he only saw Isabella’s deliberate flattery towards him, so he regarded her as
one of those women who flattered him. He disliked her in every way.
Now in the dream, it is observed from a third-person perspective, seeing the whole picture. Not only did he know
that he was an extremely arrogant and narcissistic person, but he also learned that Isabella’s initial flattery
towards him was not because she liked him or wanted to gain more benefits from him. She simply wanted to
exchange her labor for the tuition he had given her.
He gave her such little tuition fees, yet she worked so hard. She did more work than those salaried maids. All in
all, during her twith the Hill family, she was the one who truly suffered.
Nathan shamefully covered his face with both hands.
A heavy sigh.
Ignorant and young Isabella, at first, only wanted to study diligently and becself-reliant.
She obtained the opportunity to study through her own labor.
She didn’t want much, but what about him?
But she playfully introduced a regular private school to her, and went to great lengths to design a scene where
she would meet Victoria Master Moore, in order to obtain her kidney.
