Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 160

Nathan's lips trembled, and the color drained from his face.

Thea's humiliation snapped him back to reality.

Now he is the poor guy, while Thea has become a wealthy lady with financial freedom. The stark contrast in their situations leaves Nathan feeling all sorts of unpleasant emotions.

But he unlocked the shackles of humiliation for Thea, how could Thea let him go?

"The market price for hiring a cook nanny is at most eight thousand per month. I will give you a monthly salary of twenty thousand, and you can also help me with mopping the floor, sweeping, and doing laundry, if you don't mind."

Nathan swallowed hard and glared fiercely at Thea, "You..."

Thea said, "What, you look down on this salary? But Nathan, you don't have professional culinary skills or any cleaning training experience. The salary I give you is actually far beyond what you deserve. However, I'm willing to help you out because we are a couple and I see that you're struggling in life. Since you can't bring yourself to do this job, let's forget about it."

She added even more harshly, "In the future, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a job that pays twenty thousand a month. And when that time comes, don't come begging to me, I won't have any sympathy for you."

Humiliation.

Naked humiliation.

Nathan was extremely angry.

But it was he who started it, so it's no wonder others blamed him.

Thea, realizing that the ingredients in the refrigerator had run out, decided to order some groceries and vegetables online. She purchased various imported fruits and king crabs, which were expensive and made the already declining living standard of the Moore family even more austere.

Victoria, a vain woman who loved to show off, was unwilling to be left behind. She stubbornly spent a lot of money to buy some high-end seafood. However, her wallet was visibly deflated.

Thea was delighted to see Victoria compete with her.

The next day, she bought herself a limited edition bag - a replica. As she moved piles of luxurious fabrics into her house, she dressed herself up as a symbol of earthly wealth and luxury.

She noticed the jealous look in Victoria's eyes. Seeing that it could provoke Victoria even more, she went on a shopping spree.

Victoria couldn't bear it any longer and decided to retaliate against Thea. However, her way of retaliating against Thea was by showing affection towards Nathan.

That day, she pouted and said to Nathan, "Nathan, it's been a long time since you last bought me a gift."

She generally assumed that Nathan would still unconditionally meet her needs as he did before. But she couldn't see the situation clearly. Nathan used to be wealthy and would buy her gifts without hesitation. Now, he is struggling to raise money to rescue Mrs. Hill and is tight on funds himself. How can he satisfy Victoria's greedy desires?

Nathan was confused, "Why suddenly the need for a gift?"

Victoria froze in embarrassment.

Thea added fuel to the fire. "Sister, brother-in-law is now as poor as a church mouse, and now they have come to our the Moore family to eat and live for free. If you want any gifts, you should buy them yourself."

Victoria glared at her and forcefully projected her image of a happy person, saying, "I am different from you, I have a husband who dotes on me, why should I bother myself?"

Thea. "..."

Since Victoria was showing off that she had a loving husband, Thea made sure to slap her face until it hurt.

She deliberately said sarcastic words to Nathan, "Brother-in-law, my sister is not well. Whatever her wishes are, you should try your best to fulfill them. You are her husband, and you should give all your love to my sister."

This was what Nathan used to say to her when she had disagreements with Victoria in the past. Now, she is giving these words back to Nathan, letting him taste the feeling of being morally coerced.

Nathan was caught in a dilemma.

Victoria was forced to ask, "What do you want?"

Victoria just wanted to outdo Thea, so she gritted her teeth and said something expensive. "I want a necklace made entirely of diamonds."

The diamond necklace was indeed very luxurious.

In an instant, Thea, who intentionally flaunted her wealth, could be called a clown.
