Chapter 9 That Is Impossible ! Estella's lips turned pale , and her legs felt weak as she stood up . She asked one of the property staff , " I heard I have a package on the fifth floor . " The staff looked confused . " But the fifth floor is an internal gym . There's no way your package is there ." A thought suddenly surfaced in her mind . She held onto the wall for support as she walked outside , heading to the security booth at the entrance . Seeing her , the security guard looked uneasy . " Who told you to do this ? " She clenched her fists tightly , her voice trembling . The guard apologized , " I didn't want to , Mrs. Hartwell . It was Mr. Hartwell who told me to ." Estella found it laughable . So Nathaniel is behind all this ? Just because I embarrassed Isabelle last night ? He actually told the security guard to mess with me ? Rage made Estella tremble . When she got home , she charged her phone and removed Nathaniel from her WhatsApp blocklist . Then she sent him a message . " Nathaniel , you're shameless ! " Nathaniel quickly called her via WhatsApp . " Estella , if you don't behave , this won't be the last time ." Nach For the first time , Estella cursed at him . " Nathaniel , you're a piece of sh * t ! " She hung up and blocked him again . Blocked once more , Nathaniel fumed and turned to his assistant . " I only told you to cut off the water and electricity for one night to make her suffer a little . And she called me a piece of sh * t for that ? " The assistant spoke cautiously . " I ... I didn't expect Mrs. Hartwell to be this temperamental either . " In the next room , Isabelle watched a video of Estella trapped in the elevator , feeling quite pleased . Then , she transferred a sum of money to the security guard . After enduring the last few days , Madeline brought the divorce certificate . Estella placed one copy of the divorce certificate on the coffee table , then opened a package . It contained two buckets of green paint . She splattered the paint in every corner of the house , then texted Zelda , telling her to take the month off . She even sent her salary in advance . Only after finishing all this did she pick up her suitcase and leave without looking back . Shortly after Estella left , Nathaniel returned with Isabelle . Isabelle clung to his arin , whining , " Nate , I'm starving . I really want to eat Estella's home - cooked meals . " Nathaniel said gently , " Don't worry , I'll have her cook for you . " Given Estella's recent attitude , he had deliberately ignored her for several days . She must have reflected on it by now and would definitely beg for reconciliation . Over the past three years , he had neglected her countless times , done even worse things , and in the end , she had always backed down . Nathaniel thought , If she yields again , I'll give her that supplementary card . If she thinks the credit limit is too low , I'll raise it by 13,000 dollars . 1/3 Chapter 9 That Is Impossible ! As soon as he opened the villa's door , a strong smell of paint filled his nose . He stepped inside and saw green paint splattered everywhere on the walls , the couch , even his prized paintings . His entire body shook with fury , and his expression turned menacing . Isabelle's eyes widened in shock . " Nate , what happened ? How did your house turn into this ? " Veins bulged on Nathaniel's forehead and neck . Taking a deep breath , he grabbed Isabelle's phone and called Estella . At that moment , Estella was in a taxi when she received a call from an unknown number . She answered coldly , " Who ? " " Estella , are you insane ? " Nathaniel's furious voice exploded through the speaker . Estella smirked . The angrier he was , the happier she felt . " Do you like the divorce gift I left you ? " Nathaniel was still too furious about his ruined collection to notice the word " divorce . " He roared , " Get back here right now ! " Finished " I'm not coming back . " Estella's voice is steady , like she's just making casual small talk . " And don't even think about suing me . A few days ago , you trapped me in the elevator overnight . That already counts as bodily harm . If you don't want me to press charges , consider us even . " " When did I ever trap you in an elevator ? " Nathaniel found her claim utterly absurd . He knew Estella had night blindness . He had only told someone to cut off the villa's water and electricity to scare her a little . How did it turn into her being trapped in an elevator ? Beside him , Isabelle blinked guiltily when she heard his words . Estella sneered . " Oh , so you've been so busy that you forgot ? Fine . If you want details , why don't you ask the property staff ? " With that , she hung up and blocked him again . " Estella ! " Nathaniel still wanted to speak , but the call had already ended , and he was blocked again . His chest heaved with rage . " That woman is talking nonsense ! When the hell did I ever trap her in an elevator ? " Nathaniel grabbed his phone and prepared to call his assistant . He needed to find out what exactly had happened to Estella that night . But at that moment , Isabelle suddenly leaned weakly against him . " Nate , I feel so dizzy . Can we leave here first ? " Seeing that she was unwell , Nathaniel assumed the paint fumes had affected her and quickly helped her outside . He had another villa nearby , so he took Isabelle there immediately . By the time he remembered to have his assistant investigate Estella being trapped in the elevator , it was already nighttime . The assistant quickly got to the bottom of it . " Mr. Hartwell , Mrs. Hartwell was indeed trapped in the elevator five days ago . A security guard led her there at the time , but that guard resigned this morning and is now unreachable ." " Someone really tried to harm her ? " Nathaniel gripped his phone , his voice laced with cold fury . " Find that guard no matter what it takes ! " Understood , Mr. Hartwell . " Isabelle , listening from the side , felt her heart pound with fear . 2/3 PMP P Chapter 9 That Is Impossible ! Fortunately , she had given the guard money in advance and told him to disappear . Finished The assistant didn't hang up and continued , " Mr. Hartwell , I've arranged for housekeeping to clean the villa . Also , I found a divorce certificate . Would you like me to send it to you ? " " Divorce certificate ? " Nathaniel's brows furrowed deeply . " What divorce certificate ? " Estella and I are fine . How could we possibly be divorced ? Sensing his confusion , the assistant decided to bring the document over in person . When Nathaniel saw the divorce certificate , disbelief filled his eyes . " Estella and I are divorced ? That's impossible ! I never agreed to this ! " The assistant gave an awkward smile , unsure how to respond . He doesn't know he's divorced ? But Isabelle was delighted . So Nathaniel secretly planned this surprise for me ? Now that he was divorced , they could finally be together openly . Just as she was about to celebrate with him , Nathaniel suddenly exploded in rage , throwing the divorce certificate to the floor . " This is fake ! There's no way I divorced Estella ! " Unease crept into Isabelle's heart . Why isn't Nate happy now that he's finally free of that woman ? Didn't he hate Estella ? Nathaniel immediately called legal affairs . After a brief hesitation , the lawyer finally said , " Mr. Hartwell , last month , your mother entrusted me with preparing a divorce agreement for you . " Mom ? Furious , Nathaniel dialed his mother next . When Madeline answered and heard he knew nothing about the divorce , she was baffled . " Nathaniel , you signed the divorce papers yourself . How could you forget something this important ? " Send Gifts
