Unexpectedly, Theodore filled her glass again. “Miss Moore, you have quite the tolerance for alcohol. This drink
is for you.”
Victoria was forced to drink another glass...
Theodore filled her glass once more. “This one’s for you and Mr. Hill as well...”
Victoria didn’t know whether it was the alcohol or the pressure, but her face suddenly turned a deep shade of
green.
Nathan noticed something was wrong and quickly pushed her glass down. He turned to Theodore with an
apologetic look. “Young Master Theodore, let's keep it light, shall we? Don’t drink too much.”
Theodore nodded and relented, sparing Victoria.
However, no one saw the calculating gleam in Theodore’s eyes. The alcohol he had handed to Victoria was the
highest-proof liquor in the room. After two consecutive shots, he was sure she wouldn't be able to handle it.
As the night wore on, Victoria couldn't refuse toasts from several powerful figures. She had no choice but to drink

Before the banquet had even ended, her body started to show signs of distress. She kept running to the
bathroom, vomiting uncontrollably, looking utterly miserable.

“Nathan, | don’t feel well. Can I leave early?” she whispered to
Nathan.
Seeing her pale and distressed face, Nathan immediately decided to leave with her, concerned for her health.
That night, Theodore stepped into the void left by Nathan. He established deep friendships with several
influential figures from prestigious families and successfully snatched a few of the fashion industry's most
influential projects from Nathan.
After the event, Mr. Hill stormed over to Nathan's villa, smashing the fruit platter on the coffee table in a fury. He
shouted angrily at Nathan: “Nathan, you've really outdone yourself this time. At such a crucial business event,
you bring a sick woman? She can’ t even help you create the image of a loving couple, nor can she help you with
the toasts. In the end, she’s only dragged you down. What were you thinking? Did your brain short-circuit?”
“Now look, several major projects that were once set to sign with the Hill family have now ended up in the hands
of the Sanchez family. the Hill Group's performance this year is likely to suffer a major setback.”
Nathan lowered his head in silence, absorbing his father’s furious words. He knew he had made a mistake.
Mr. Hill didn’t let up, continuing to berate him. Finally, Nathan had no choice but to swear, “Dad, | made the
mistake, and I'll fix it. I'll get those projects back.”
Mr. Hill snorted coldly. “You're a married man. From now on, your need to keep your distance from that Victoria.
Don’t let anyone catch wind of an affair during your marriage.”

Mr. Hill scolded him one last time, “Everything that happened at the banquet today feels like someone
deliberately set you up. You've suffered heavy losses because of it. Be more careful with your actions and words,
or you'll be played into someone's hands again.”
“I understand,” Nathan replied.
After Mr. Hill left, Nathan sat on the couch in a daze for a long while, replaying the events of the night in his
mind. He kept returning to two people.
One was Theodore. He was the one who had pressured Victoria into drinking excessively. He was also the biggest
winner of the evening, which made Nathan suspect that he might have been behind the schto undermine
him. But Theodore had only recently returned to the Sanchez family and was still very young, just eighteen. He
had no previous conflict with Victoria, and his toasts had seemed more like a show of respect.
The other person was the fashionable woman in disguise. Guillermo had suspected her to be Isabella?
Nathan suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face darkening as he made his way upstairs. He kicked open
Isabella’s bedroom door, startling her with the sudden intrusion.
