Chapter 149
In order to bring Nathan back to the upper class society, Mrs. Hill pressured Alaric, “You may have many children, no matter how much you love them, but don’t forget, Nathan is ultimately your only legitimate child. If he doesn’t do well, it reflects poorly on you.”
Nathan was the only child Alaric had devotedly nurtured, but now Nathan has willingly fallen into decadence, and it is imaginable how disappointed Alaric is with him.
In addition, Mrs. Hill, being dominant, was far less understanding and tactful than the mistress. Alaric had long held a grudge against her.
“I can give him another chance, but the condition is that we must get divorced,” Alaric said, taking the opportunity to confess his intention to rectify his affair.
Mrs. Hill’s body shook violently, and her face was devoid of color.
Last time Alaric mentioned divorce, Mrs. Hill thought he was just angry, so she didn’t pay much attention. Now that Alaric brings it up again, Mrs. Hill understands in her heart: Has Alaric wanted to get rid of her for a long time?
It was just when Nathan was successful and famous, which made him proud of her, so Alaric gave her some face. But now that Nathan has fallen, he has no reason to tolerate her
anymore.

Mrs. Hill wanted to have a good time, but as the words. about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly came to her senses. If she caused a scene, Alaric could simply stay away from their home, and it would be like punching a pillow, having no effect on Alaric.
They had been living apart for a long time.
Love has disappeared.
Whether she was playing the victim or seeking sympathy, it generally wouldn’t stir Alaric’s emotions.
I took the opportunity to help Nathan make a fresh start in the East Mountain after the divorce.
“Divorce is acceptable, but Nathan must become the heir of the Hill Group again.”
“Do you think he was worthy?” Alaric’s sharp gaze pierced through her.
“Why is he no longer worthy? Don’t forget, when you married me, the Hill family was in dire straits. It was me who cut ties with my family and married you, bringing my small fortune with me, giving you a chance to make a comeback. Now that you’ve become successful, you earn as much money as I do. Can’t I use half of that money to buy back Nathan and return to the company?” Mrs. Hill exclaimed angrily.
Alaric looked at her mockingly and said, “I earned the money, and half of it is yours? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? The Hill family’s company was already ours before we got married, and you never went out to work after our marriage, never created any profit for this family. You donated millions to me back then,

and I have already repaid you over the years by buying you jewelry. Do you want to take away half of the Hill family’s assets?”
Mrs. Hill opened her mouth wide and looked at this indifferent man, suddenly recalling the scene of Thea and Nathan’s divorce – it was exactly the same.
In the past, Nathan also used such words to deceive Thea. Thea divorced, but it did not weaken Nathan’s financial strength.
Mrs. Hill could actually empathize with Thea’s feelings at that moment.
“If you’re not willing, then I will expose your affair within the marriage,” Mrs. Hill stared at Alaric with bloodshot eyes, bargaining with him.
Alaric sneered, “Do you think that by doing that, you can really destroy me? Hmph, without my consent, who would dare to disclose any information related to me? Unless they don’t want to live.”
Mrs. Hill gritted her teeth and said, “Then I will drag on without getting a divorce. I will make your son a bastard for the rest of his life.”
Alaric coldly looked at her and said, “As you wish. We will separate for now, and when the time comes, I will file for divorce.”
Alaric left without looking back after he finished speaking.
Mrs. Hill felt a sudden pain in her chest and immediately collapsed to the ground.

It is not known how long it took, but Mrs. Hill gradually recovered.
She crawled up in a disheveled manner and sat on the sofa. Her gaze was vacant as she stared ahead. There was nothingness in her field of vision.
Then she picked up the phone and dialed a series of familiar phone numbers.
After the call was connected, Thea’s low voice came through.
“Do you need something from me?”
“Thea, let’s meet.”
Thea hesitated for a while and finally nodded faintly, “Okay.”
Coffee Shop.
When Thea arrived at the coffee shop, Mrs. Hill had already been sitting in the booth. She ordered a cup of Thea’s favorite coffee, steaming hot.
Thea was very surprised.
When Mrs. Hill was living with her mother–in–law, she treated her very coldly. She only cared about demanding that Thea act according to her standards, without ever considering Thea’s needs. So during the years Thea spent with the Hill family, she couldn’t watch her favorite TV shows or drink her favorite
beverages.
Thea sat down and said, “Suddenly being so polite, could it be that you have a favor to ask of me?”

All Thea could think of was the proud Mrs. Hill only lowering her face to beg Nathan.
Mrs. Hill sighed weakly, “When you were my daughter–in–law before, I always felt like you were Cinderella, coming from a poor family. You were of no help to the family business in Nathan. So no matter how virtuous and sensible you were, I always found faults with you and didn’t like you.”
“But after you left, the business of Nathan suffered a Waterloo- like setback, and our marriage, me and his father, faced destruction. I only realized later that you were actually a blessed daughter, coming to the Hill family, living peacefully and harmoniously without any quarrels.”
Mrs. Hill’s eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Thea, I was the one who wronged you. Now, I beg you, please come back. Can you?”
Thea spoke frankly, “I’m sorry. I couldn’t forgive the person who hurt me recklessly.”
Mrs. Hill was taken aback by Thea’s bluntness.
“Thea, as long as you are willing to come back, I will definitely make Nathan cut ties with your sister. I promise that Nathan will treat you wholeheartedly.” Mrs. Hill was determined and would never give up.
Thea asked, “How did you ensure?”
“Who doesn’t know that Nathan loved Victoria to the core, willing to give up even the Hill family’s soaring wealth and prosperity for her?”

“I won’t accept a man who doesn’t love me. Unless…”
Thea’s eyes twinkled with cunning, she thought, it was time for her to close in.
“Unless they never met each other.”
Mrs. Hill immediately promised, “Okay, I agree with you.”
Thea stood up and said, “Well then, I wish you every success.”
Mrs. Hill nodded. “Wait for good news from me.”
Thea turned her head, her gaze filled with coldness instead of a smile. How could she possibly go back to Nathan? She was disgusted by him now. She wouldn’t want a man like him, who had become so filthy.
However, Mrs. Hill was delighted to see Nathan and Victoria’s love affair causing trouble.
Hospital.
Mrs. Hill appeared at the hospital again, but this time she didn’t argue with Victoria loudly. Instead, she calmly said to Nathan, who was accompanying the patient, “I have something to tell you. Come with me for a moment”
Victoria instantly panicked and grabbed Nathan’s hand, saying, “Nathan…”
Nathan patted her hand and reassured, “Don’t worry, I will be back soon.”
Nathan and Mrs. Hill arrived at the end of the hospital corridor. Mrs. Hill had a serious expression on her face, and Nathan was

feeling anxious. “Mom, why did you bring me here? If you’re going to break up Victoria and me, you should just go back.””
