Chapter 306
The words of Isabe sent chills down Natalia''s spine. It was clear that Isabe had spiraled into a
dreadful abyss of her own making. Natalia regretted her brash decision to confront Isabe alone; she
should have brought James along.
But death held no fear if it meant getting the antidote.
Isabe, lost in her reminiscences, didn''t notice Natalia''s pale face. She threw her head back and
stopped breathing. Then, I took all his money and escaped that farm that held me captive for a year. I
traveled to Europe and had a stic surgery. My face bears a sorrowful story. I wanted to discard my
past and start afresh, to live a life that''s truly mine!"
Natalia shivered. The most terrifying thing in the world was the human heart; it was capable of shifting
me onto others despite knowing one''s faults.
"Do you know how I spent these years, Natalia?" Isabe sneered at Natalia, answering her own
question before Natalia could respond. "I got a new face, a clean te, and studied business
management. I wanted to begin a new life, to repay the humiliation I suffered at your hands a
thousandfold! If not for you, I would still be the radiant heiress of the Simmons Group, not a ything
for others'' lust! This is all your doing! All your fault!"
"Really, Isabe? Why do you always me others and never reflect on yourself? Don''t you bear any
responsibility for the things that have happened to you?" Natalia retorted, feeling that Isabe had lost
her sanity.
"Me? What did I do wrong? Everything that''s happened is thanks to you! I forced myself to study and
quietly returned to Melfort. With my impressive resume, I easily secured a position at Andersen
Corporation. Thank heavens, they must have seen my burning desire for revenge and blessed me with
a smooth journey. I quickly rose to the position of executive assistant," Isabe said, her gaze filled with
hatred as she looked at Natalia. "But when I saw Magnus, whom I hadn''t seen for years, the love I had
kept for him exploded. His handsome and rebellious face attracted me and kept me awake at night.
Every day, I yearned for his tender care."
Natalia frowned, shaking her head internally. Isabe was beyond redemption.
"Why are you frowning? What right do you have to frown at me? If not for Magnus'' protection, you''re
nothing. You''re not even worth being my servant!" Isabe spat harshly, her hands clenching tightly as
she envisioned ripping Natalia apart.
"So, you drugged him? To make him have sex with you?" Natalia asked disdainfully. Even though she
knew Isabe would admit it, she couldn''t help but feel nauseous.
"That''s right. It was me!" Isabe admitted openly, without a trace of shame. "Why should a man as
outstanding as Magnus only have eyes for you? What do you have that I don''t? I dream of sleeping
with him, and even if it kills me, I''d die happy! What about you? Can you say the same?"
Natalia shook her head. "Isabe, you''re beyond redemption."
Natalia''s words infuriated Isabe, who was already jealous of her. Isabe''s voice turned shrill, "Shut
up! Beyond redemption? It''s all your fault, you damned woman! If it wasn''t for you, he would have
sumbed to my drug and desired me! You must have bewitched him, and made him indifferent to
other women because even when drugged, he angrily drove me away! You heartless witch!"
"Isabe, can''t you see it clearly? Magnus and I are truly in love, not like what you''re saying! True love
surpasses everything; it can shatter any scheme. No matter how you manipte it, your effort will be
useless. Stop it, Isabe," Natalia pleaded once more.
Isabeughed hysterically. “Ha, true love? Where is true love in this world? Natalia, you’re just lucky
that Magnus is devoted to you. But so what? Since he doesn’t have me in his heart, whatever I can’t
have, no one else can have! I’d rather destroy him than let anyone else have him!”
“So, you poisoned him?” Natalia asked usingly.
“That’s right! If I can’t have him, I’d rather destroy him! Especially someone as proud as Magnus, who
not only rejected me but humiliated me in public. There’s no way I can swallow my anger! When
Magnus moved me from the President’s office to the sales department, I was utterly embarrassed. So, I
used Molly to add the expensive poison I bought from the ck market into his tea. Hehe, Natalia,
without the formtion method, there’s no way to create an antidote for these poisons! I guess Magnus
has been struggling like a zombie these past few days, hasn''t he? Hahaha!"
After hearing Isabe''s words, Natalia looked at her with pity. "Isabe, you''re really insane. Magnus at
least had some affection for you in the past. Did you really go through with it?"
"Yes, I did! He had some affection for me, but..." Isabe clenched her teeth, "From the moment
Magnus chose you over me, I was already insane! Natalia, in what way am I inferior to you?! Why
should I always be second to you? Tell me, tell me!"
Natalia slowly shook her head. "True, your new face is indeed quite pleasing. But so what? Even with
the face of an angel, it can''t change your devilish heart! Your heart has been corrupted and twisted by
jealousy! Isabe, wake up, stop it! Before you make a big mistake, turn back!"
"Turn back? Natalia, the reason I took this path is entirely because of you! It''s all your fault! Why should
you alone have the best man in the world? Why can you effortlessly win everyone''s affection? Why?! I
hate you! I wish you would drop dead right now!" Isabe''s eyes zed with fury, wishing she could
carve countless holes into Natalia.
"Isabe, don''t be so stubborn. Please hand over Magnus'' antidote. What good does torturing him do
for you?" Natalia tried to reason with Isabe, hoping she would see the light.
Hearing Natalia''s words, Isabeughed until she was nearly in tears. "Ha-ha-ha, Natalia, are you a

fool? Why do you think I''ve been groveling in the dirt? Just toe back and get my revenge on you!
To give you back all the humiliation I''ve suffered! Do you want the antidote? Here it is,e and get it!"
