Chapter 56
Isabella hadn't planned to stay at the Hill family hfor long, so she brought only a few simple belongings.
After quickly unpacking, she sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. She needed a way to obtain evidence of
Nathan's infidelity, as that would give her the leverage she needed to negotiate a divorce.
However, Nathan was a classic idealist. His love for Victoria was intense and blatantly public, yet Isabella had
never caught. them in any explicit or compromising situations. It seemed she would have to intervene and give
their relationship a little push. to solidify her claims against him.
Taking out her phone, Isabella went to the second bedroom, lay on the bed, and snapped a series of photos. She
uploaded the pictures as a nine-grid post to her social media, visible only to Victoria.
The caption read:
*“Thank you, dear husband, for decorating this room for me. It’s so romantic. | love it.“*
After posting, she returned to her own room and waited for Victoria's reaction.
Based on her understanding of Victoria, she knew her stepsister had a saintly facade, but deep down, she was as
calculating as anyone. Confident in Nathan's love for her, Victoria often

pretended she was above petty competition. However, when it cto matters that directly impacted her, she
was incredibly territorial.
Now that Isabella was back, she would deliberately compete with Victoria, forcing her to reveal her true colors.
As expected, it didn’t take long before Victoria messaged her, sounding agitated:
*“Isabella, are you back at the Hill family home?*“*
Isabella looked at the text, easily imagining Victoria's livid expression on the other end. She decided to provoke
her further:
*“Yes, dear sister. Nathan askedto cback and live a good life with him.“*
There was no response for a long time.
Isabella smirked. Could Victoria really not handle this? She was only using her own methods against her.
Then, Victoria's messages poured in like a tidal wave:
*“|sabella, Nathan doesn’t love you. A marriage without love can’ t last. | advise you to step aside early and find
someone else.”
Isabella maintained a relaxed demeanor and replied lazily:
*“Love is the most worthless thing in the world. As long as | remain Mrs.Hill, Ill enjoy the protection of the Hill
family- money, status, fame-you nit. | wouldn't be foolish enough. to give up such wonderful things.*

Victoria grew even angrier:
*“Why are you so stubborn? Isabella, you should know that someone like you, with no background, will never be
accepted by the Hill family elders.“*
Isabella clenched her phone tightly, her tone turning sharp:
*“Victoria, we share the sbloodline. Both of us have a mentally ill mother and a father who abandoned his
wife and daughters. If | can’t gain the approval of the Hill family elders, do you think you can?“*
Victoria responded confidently:
*“I'll prove to you that the Hill family elders will accept me.“*
Isabella replied:
*“Ill be waiting to see that.“*
Having successfully provoked Victoria's jealousy and anger, Isabella tossed her phone aside, satisfied. She let
Victoria stew in her emotions while she got a peaceful night's sleep.

The next morning, Isabella slept in until late. After a leisurely wash, she finally went downstairs.
In the living room, Nathan sat on the sofa, smiling softly at his phone. But the moment his gaze landed on
Isabella, his smile vanished.
Unbothered, Isabella walked straight to the dining room.
Noticing there was no breakfast prepared for her, she turned to Nathan and asked,

*“Where’s my breakfast?“*
*“|sabella, as the daughter-in-law of the Hill family, you shouldn't be sleeping in,”* Nathan replied stiffly. *“Your
breakfast? My mother threw it in the trash. You can go hungry-it’ll teach you a lesson.“*
Isabella let out a dry laugh. “I'll take care of my own stomach, thank you.“*
She then headed to the kitchen, where she took out eggs, selected the finest fruits, grabbed sbread, and
prepared a fresh pizza. She laid out a lavish breakfast on the dining table and enjoyed it with great enthusiasm.
Watching her aloof figure, Nathan's gaze deepened.
“You spent two years abroad and learned nothing but
indulgence,” he remarked, his disdain practically dripping from his words.
