Chapter 6 Block Him She picked out four sets of appropriate clothing at the mall , along w 4,000 dollars in total . Carrying her shopping bags , she felt great . After her father passed away , she no longer bought expensive clothes . Even when she accompanied Nathaniel to banquets , the The clothes she wore in private were all very plain . Finished pairs of comfortable shoes , spending around . gowns she wore were costly , but none of them belonged to her . Nathaniel would occasionally tease her for being unfashionable . He never paid for her clothes , but he did for Isabelle . She had once heard from Naomi that every year , Nathaniel would order clothes from several internationally renowned fashion brands and have them sent to Isabelle . If she still harbored any illusions after such blatant favoritism , it would truly be laughable . As she walked out of the mall , she happened to run into Naomi . Naomi took off her sunglasses and , seeing the shopping bags in her hands , said disapprovingly , " Estella , Belle is in the hospital because of you , and instead of taking care of her , you're out shopping ? You're leeching off Nathaniel , yet you have the audacity to act so shamelessly ? " Estella sneered . " Nathaniel knows exactly why she got hurt . I'm not stupid enough to play caretaker for his mistress . And for your information , I paid for everything using my own money . " " Your own money ? You don't even have a job . Where did the money come from ? " Naomi scoffed . Estella replied logically , " Zelda earns 3,800 dollars a month . I'm your brother's legal wife , I take care of his meals , his daily needs , and even accompany him through rehabilitation . Should I really be grateful just for receiving some living expenses ? " " You ! " Naomi hadn't expected Estella to change so much . She used to be a pushover , but now she was so sharp - tongued . " Aren't you afraid Nathaniel will leave you ? " Naomi knew that Estella loved Nathaniel the most . In the past , Nathaniel had been indifferent to Estella , yet she shamelessly clung to him . " You better apologize to me , or I'll complain to Nathaniel ! He's already mad at you because of Belle . If I say a few bad things about you , he'll definitely dump you ! " Estella remained unfazed . " Oh ? That would be great . I don't want him anymore either . Didn't you know ? We're getting a divorce . " If her father were still alive , she would have been a pampered heiress . She would never have tolerated an idiot like Naomi . For the past three years , life had forced her to bow her head . But now that the marriage was ending , she had nothing to fear . " Divorce ? " Naomi couldn't believe that Estella , who loved Nathaniel so much , would want a divorce . But soon , she figured it out . " You're trying to use divorce to force Nathaniel to leave Belle , aren't you ? Let me tell you , it won't work ! Nathaniel loves Belle too much to fall for your tricks ! You better not make a scene , or you'll regret it ! Do you really think you'll find a better man than Nathaniel after the divorce ? " Estella had no hesitation . " Don't worry . I won't regret it . If Isabelle wants Nathaniel , I'll give him to her ! " 1/3 3.18 PM P Chapter 6 Block Him With that , she straightened her back and walked away proudly . Naomi watched her leave , so furious that she could barely breathe . Clenching her teeth , she growled , " Just you wait , Estella ! I'm telling Nathaniel ! Let's see how he deals with you ! " Finished At Hartwell Group's private hospital , Nathaniel stood outside the hospital room , looking at his phone , feeling inexplicably irritated . Estella actually dared to block me ? How dare she ! Her temper is getting worse ! Naomi walked down the hallway and , upon seeing Nathaniel , immediately complained , " Nathaniel , you need to control Estella ! That woman is getting more and more out of hand . I saw her at the mall today . She bought a bunch of clothes and even spoke rudely to me ! She's wasting your money while you work hard to earn it . Do you think that's fair ? " " She went shopping ? " Nathaniel was surprised . In his memory , Estella was always frugal . She only wore a few sets of clothes , dull and completely tasteless . And now , she actually bought new clothes . Naomi nodded . " Yes ! She must have used your card . Hurry up and cancel it before she spends more of your money ! " Hearing that , Nathaniel froze . Aside from giving her living expenses , he had never given her a credit card . " Nathaniel , why are you standing there in a daze? You must have given her a supplementary card too , right ? Otherwise , how would she have money to buy clothes ? " Nathaniel had given Naomi a supplementary card with a monthly limit of 140,000 dollars . For some reason , a sudden sense of guilt toward Estella welled up in Nathaniel's heart . " I ... I didn't give her a supplementary card . " " You didn't ? Did you transfer money to her account directly ? How much do you give her every month ? Can the bank freeze her account ? " Naomi asked anxiously . That's Nathaniel's money , not a single cent should be wasted on that woman ! Nathaniel's voice grew weaker . " I only give her around 4,000 dollars a month , " Around 4,000 dollars ? " Naomi was momentarily stunned . " 1 " Nathaniel , you're so stingy . 4,000 dollars isn't even enough for a pair of my shoes . " Suddenly , Naomi recalled the shopping bags Estella had been carrying . The logos on them didn't seem to belong to any luxury brand . At first , she almost pitied Estella . But then , she remembered Estella's mentally ill mother's hospital expenses were all covered by Nathaniel ! " Aren't you the one paying for her mom's treatment ? " Reminded of this , Nathaniel recalled it too . Estella's mother required tens of thousands in medical expenses every month , all paid by him . He immediately called his assistant . " Cancel the payments for Estella's mom's treatment . I want her to beg me on her knees . " Though the assistant didn't understand why , she still followed orders . 2/3 Chapter 6 Block Him Finished She made a call to the hospital , then returned to Nathaniel . " The hospital said Mrs. Hartwell's mother was transferred to a regular ward six months ago . She has been covering the medical expenses herself and hasn't used your money at all . " Nathaniel was stunned . " That's impossible ! " He distinctly remembered signing off on a payment request just a few days ago .. If that wasn't for Estella's mom's treatment , then what was it paying for ? His frustration deepened . Naomi . hearing the assistant's words , couldn't help but grow suspicious . " Could she have been telling the truth ? Is she really planning to divorce you ? " At the mention of divorce , Nathaniel's expression instantly turned ice - cold , as if someone had struck his raw nerve . " Divorce ? She said that ? " Naomi nodded . " Yeah . She looked serious at the time . Nathaniel , could she really want to divorce you ? " She then lit up with excitement . " Isn't that a good thing ? We tried so hard to kick that shameless woman out , but she wouldn't leave . Now she finally has some self - awareness . Hurry up and divorce her , then marry Belle ! " " Who said I'm getting a divorce ? " Nathaniel suddenly roared at Naomi . She was completely caught off guard . " Nathaniel , don't you only love Belle ? " Nathaniel had always thought so too . But at the thought of divorcing Estella , an inexplicable sense of irritation and dissatisfaction rose within him . " I never planned on getting a divorce . " Naomi was incredulous . " Then what about Belle ? " This question truly put Nathaniel in a dilemma . He could clearly see that Isabelle still had feelings for him . But Estella had been by his side for three years . He owed her . The only thing he could give her was this marriage . Even so , he wouldn't wrong Isabelle . He would love her , cherish her , and make it up to her in the future . He didn't want things to change . Send Gifts
