Chapter 15

Nathan returned to the capital alone.

When Nathan’s father learned that Nathan had not brought Isabella back, he erupted in rage.

He berated Nathan furiously:

“I opposed your marriage to Isabella back then, but you insisted on marrying her to save your ‘pure–hearted love. Since you. married her, you should live a good life together and work as a team.

Though Isabella’s family background isn’t great, she is obedient and filial. We accepted her. Yet, you still entangled yourself with her Sis… You’ve broken Isabella’s heart; that’s why she refuses to come back!”

The more Nathan’s father spoke, the angrier he became:

“If Isabella won’t return, then you have no reason to attend the Hill family’s annual gathering. It would only invite ridicule.”

Nathan’s mother paled with fright.

“Honey, Nathan will definitely bring Isabella back. Please give him some time.”

Nathan was the Hill family’s only son, but that status depended

on his ability to sustain the family’s enterprise.

If he failed, numerous illegitimate children would emerge to take his place.

This was why Nathan’s mother feared Nathan’s father’s decision to exclude Nathan from the family gathering.

She earnestly persuaded her son

“Nathan, this year’s event will be grander than ever. the Hill family is hosting a joint alliance meeting with the Sanchez and Brown families. You must attend as the Hill family’s heir to gain the recognition of their elders. Once you have their approval, your career will flourish.

“Nathan, listen to me. No matter what it takes, you must coax Isabella to return.”

Nathan suddenly opened the door, his face desolate.

“Mom, Isabella is missing.”

Nathan’s mother froze in shock, words of reproach caught in her throat. Seeing her son’s dark, defeated expression, she

hesitated.

Nathan’s father, however, lashed out, kicking Nathan Hill in the stomach. Nathan did not resist.

Finally, Nathan’s father growled in anguish:
