Chapter 81
Nathan’s face turned ashen, and he shouted at Isabella in a low voice, “Isabella, your Sis is this sick, and not only do you not care about her, you still try to take me away. If I leave, who will take care of her? Are you seriously trying to get her killed?”
Isabella furrowed her brows. “You’re not a doctor, and you’re not her direct blood relative. I don’t understand how your staying here would help my Sis’s condition.”
Victoria suddenly broke into loud sobs. “I understand now, Bella, you came here to fight me for Nathan. I, a patient, can’t compete with you. You can take Nathan away.”
“I won’t leave you, Victoria. Don’t cry,” Nathan turned to fiercely scold Isabella. “Isabella, how can you be so heartless?”
Isabella couldn’t help but laugh at Nathan’s double standards.
How many times in the past had she been sick with a high fever, yet Nathan would abandon her to go climb mountains with Victoria to watch the sunrise? When she complained to him about his coldness and indifference, he would impatiently scold her: “Isabella, I’m not a doctor. It’s useless to come to me when you’re sick.”
Isabella spoke each word clearly: “Nathan, when I was sick with a fever, when I had to undergo kidney donation surgery, when I…”
And when I struggled to get pregnant…

“Where were you then?”
Faced with Isabella’s accusations, Nathan felt a pang of guilt. He lowered his voice, “I know I neglected you in the past. I won’t do it again.”
Isabella turned to him, her voice cold. “Nathan, there’s no ‘we‘ in the future.”
She left those words behind and turned to walk away.
Nathan stood there, stunned. The words she had just spoken echoed in his mind: *There is no future for us.* What did that
mean?
Isabella left the hospital, pulled out a recorder from her bag, and kissed it lightly.
“Nathan, all the favoritism you’ve shown Victoria will eventually backfire.”
Victoria’s condition continued to fluctuate, and several times, the doctors even issued life–threatening notices. Nathan nearly gave up all his work to stay by her side.
Naturally, he had no time or energy to deal with what had happened at the banquet.
But the best hospital in the capital, with the best doctors, eventually stabilized Victoria’s condition after a month.
However, when Nathan returned to his career, he realized the

landscape in the capital had already changed.
Taking advantage of Nathan’s neglect of his work, Theodore had taken over several of his nearby projects.
Nathan’s performance took a sharp dive.
After a temper tantrum, he began reflecting: *How did I lose to Theodore?*
A young, inexperienced boy?
The saying goes, “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.”
In order to find the reason for his crushing defeat, Nathan humbly instructed his assistant:
want all the data on
Theodore’s acquisition of the company’s projects.“.
Not long after, his assistant brought in a thick stack of files.
Nathan stayed up late, going through the documents. His focus shifted to the projects Theodore had taken from him.
When he saw the design projects that Theodore had bid on, for the first time, he found himself losing with a sense of begrudging admiration.
In the past two years, he had been especially focused on Victoria. To support her career, he had entrusted her with many of the company’s important design projects.
There was no doubt that Victoria had talent. She had won many profitable projects for him at first
But her talents…

When compared to Theodore’s design team, they seemed lacking.

Whether it was the craftsmanship in the design drafts or the innate talent of the designers, Victoria appeared to be falling short.
Nathan sighed. “That kid Theodore… He may be young, but his vision is so sharp. He actually managed to recruit such a hidden gem of a designer.”
