Nathan pulled Victoria behind him and gritted his teeth. “Young Master Sanchez, this is a family matter of mine.
You have no right to interfere.”
Theodore sneered, “Mr. Hill, to those who know, Isabella is the wife of Mr. Hill. To those who don’t, they'd think
Victoria is your wife. If you were in ancient times, you'd be the kind of man who would favor the concubine and
eliminate the wife-getting yourself thrown into a pig cage.”
Nathan suppressed his anger. “Young Master Sanchez, your hand is reaching too far. Who gave you the right to
manage my family affairs? Isn't that a bit too much?”
Theodore took out a document, pulled out the agreement inside, shook it open, and revealed a contract. It was
the ‘selling contract’ between Isabella and Theodore.
“From now on, Isabella will work for24 hours a day, paying off a debt of one billion. Her face is the face of my
company, and if you damage her face, it will affect my flourishing
business. Mr. Hill, do you still think that her matters are none of my concern?”
Theodore spoke calmly.
Nathan was rendered speechless. “Absurd. Young Master Sanchez, don’t tellyou don’t understand labor law?

law, her working hours should be capped at eight hours a day...”
Before Nathan could finish, Theodore brought out an addendum to the contract. It clearly stated that Isabella
voluntarily agreed to work overtime, with overtpay according to the labor law’s double compensation. The
document also included Isabella’s signature and thumbprint.
Theodore carefully folded the contract and, with a smile, glanced at Nathan. “Mr. Hill, if you wish to redeem your
wife from this contract, then you'll have to payten times the agreed penalty fee.”
Nathan's face turned white with anger. He glared at Isabella with frustration. “Fool! | already warned you, doing
business with him means you're bound to lose!”
Isabella was stunned by Theodore’s meticulous planning and flawless calculation. Truly, he was the heir to the
Sanchez family.
She wasn't panicked at all. Instead, she looked at Nathan with mocking eyes. “Nathan, either you pay to redeem
me, or divorce me. I'll handle my debts without dragging you into it.”
Nathan's expression darkened further.

Isabella saw a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel that he was considering the option
of abandoning her as a burden.
Theodore said coldly, “Isabella, today marks the first day of your ‘work. Cwith me.”
Isabella followed Theodore, leaving the Gu residence.
After Isabella left, Nathan slumped onto the sofa.
Victoria comforted him, “Nathan, my Sis is with Theodore now, and if she gets caught up in his schemes, her
debts will only grow. It could end up dragging down the Hill family.”
Nathan snorted. “How could | sit back and do nothing?”
Victoria, following his thoughts, said, “Why don’t you just divorce Bella?”
Nathan fell into a heavy silence. A look of regret flashed across his eagle eyes.
When he had bid for the “Circle City” earlier, he had only been thinking of either winning the bid to give the
heart-shaped lock to Victoria as a gift or raising the price to drain Theodore’s cash reserves. He never imagined
that Theodore would turn the tables on him. Now, Theodore was using Isabella’s naivety to

He only had two options: either pay the exorbitant penalty of one hundred billion yuan to compensate for
Isabella's breach of contract, or divorce her and protect himself.
“Theodore really played this beautifully,” Nathan muttered, genuinely admiring Theodore’s strategy.
Victoria, eager to flatter, said, “Nathan, Theodore may be young, but how could he be your match? It’s just that
Isabella is holding you back...”
Mentioning Isabella caused Nathan's expression to darken once
more.
“Isabella, you forcedinto this
