Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 146

Jewel turned around and saw Victoria standing in front of her, with a pale face and a gaunt figure. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she almost screamed "ghostly woman".

Victoria quickly introduced herself, saying, "I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hill family." She was quite good at elevating her own status, instantly impressing Jewel.

"Oh, so you were the owner of the Hill family? My apologies, my apologies."

Victoria's vanity was greatly satisfied. "Ms. Ho, do you like Theo?"

Jewel was very distressed. "I fell in love with Theo at first sight. But alas, the goddess favors the king without a heart."

Victoria pressed her mouth against her ear and said, "You and Theo were meant to be together. Theo was your destined prince. However, Thea's appearance disrupted this relationship."

Jewel's face instantly became furious, "Thea, it was indeed you who was causing trouble."

Victoria and Jewel were chatting happily, so when Victoria suggested borrowing Jewel's invitation letter, Jewel agreed without hesitation.

"Here you go. Anyway, I am quite familiar with the Hill family. I can get in without an invitation."

Jewel was overjoyed. "Thank you."

The banquet venue is located in the open courtyard of the Hill family villa. At this moment, many people have already gathered in the square. Most of the attendees are wealthy and influential figures, which makes the banquet grand and splendid.

After Theo and Thea entered the square, Theo suddenly took Thea's hand off his arm. While Thea was wondering about his actions, he had already grabbed her hand, and their fingers intertwined.

Thea paused for a moment, this gesture was too intimate, more suitable for couples.

"Theodore, we were not suitable like this," she reminded him softly.

Theo still held a grudge against Thea for leaving him just now and said, "I don't hold you tight enough, and you can just leave me with a few words?"

Thea felt guilty and therefore stopped saying anything.

Caleb saw Theo and a look of delight crossed his eyes. He quickly took two glasses of fine wine from the shelf and eagerly handed them to Theo, saying, "Theo, I have finally been waiting for you."

Thea looked surprised, Theo and Caleb seemed very close. Caleb's attitude towards Theo was respectful, with a hint of admiration. When did they become acquainted?

Theo took the wine and tasted it.

"Good wine."

If you can get a wine that Theo praised, it must be an excellent wine. After all, Theo has a great taste.

Thea licked her lips and her gaze lingered on Theo's glass. She had a strong addiction to alcohol, probably due to her past frustrations. She would occasionally drown her sorrows in alcohol, which led to her dependence on it.

Caleb could tell what Thea was thinking. He smiled knowingly and said, "It seems like Thea also enjoys this drink?" He then went to the liquor cabinet and brought back a glass of wine.

Thea happily took the wine that Caleb handed over, just as she was about to bring it to her lips, it was snatched away by Theo.

Theo solemnly criticized Caleb, saying, "My sister Thea did not drink alcohol."

Caleb pursed his lips and smiled.

Thea saw the duck that flew away from her mouth like that. She felt quite disappointed. "Theodore, I could drink."

Theo said, "Sister, I knew you could drink, but your body didn't allow you to drink such strong alcohol."

Next to her were a few gossiping women who, upon recognizing her identity, kept the conversation focused on her. "How did Mr. Sanchez choose her as his companion? She is clearly the former daughter-in-law of the Hill family."

"Yeah, how could she still have the audacity to attend the former father-in-law's banquet?"

Thea's face looked very unpleasant. She didn't expect that even in this lifetime, her criticized constitution had not changed.

Having heard these skeptical voices too many times, Thea became numb. She calmly looked at them and even smiled at them gracefully. She truly embodied the concept of repaying grievances with kindness.

However, Jewel and Victoria suddenly joined each other's camp, mocking Thea to the climax.

She was originally my younger sister, but she took advantage of my illness to lure my boyfriend into marrying her. Fortunately, my loyal Lan Cheng stood by me and the prodigal son eventually returned. However, it is a pity that Lan Cheng suffered half his life and half his power was lost in this fleeting marriage with her.

Jewel boldly approached Thea, glaring at her fiercely and pointing her finger at Thea's nose, accusing her. "Thea, I never expected you to be such a fickle woman. You have caused so much misery to Nathan, and now you are tormenting Theo. If you have any dignity left, you should leave Theo."

A group of women gathered around, they were fawning over Jewel, all echoing and criticizing Thea.

"She looked so beautiful, it was obvious that she was a fox spirit reincarnated."

"Our Capital's two most handsome gods, first Nathan, then Theo, seem to have been bewitched, both liking this woman."

Perhaps it was Thea's calmness that actually angered them. They even started to lay hands on Thea. Someone snatched the milk from Thea's hand and poured it on her.

This blatant bullying. Caught the attention of more people.

In the corner, disguised Nathan saw Thea sitting on a chair, her body frail, being surrounded by a group of women. This scene reminded him of a long time ago.

He couldn't help but sarcastically think, "What a paper tiger, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, only showing its claws in front of gentlemen like him, but turning into a coward in front of a group of rude and unreasonable women."
