As soon as Izabella finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks. In order to get Tiara's help, she had to win her sympathy first.
Izabella looked gorgeous, and with her illness, she looked pitiful when she cried. Tiara quickly found a tissue to wipe her tears.
"Why are you crying?" Tiara asked while wiping her tears, "You should be happy about being pregnant."
Izabella shook her head and said, "Tiara, Brett doesn't want this child."
Tiara was shocked, her hand stiffly holding the tissue, unable to recover for a long time. Then she asked, "Why?"
Izabella told Tiara everything, including how the medicine Brett gave her disrupted her nerves, and how he never wanted her to regain her memory all along. Brett wanted her to be unable to remember anything, even turning her into a fool and keeping her here.
Izabella didn't understand why Brett didn't want her child, but she could vaguely guess that it had to do with her lost memory.
After hearing everything, Tiara was dumbfounded. What kind of things were these? In her eyes, the gentle and elegant Brett, who loved Izabella, turned out to be such a person behind her back.
How was this any different from imprisonment? He even tried to control other people's memories, what kind of... Was he even human? He was worse than an animal!
"Tiara, you have a daughter too, so you should be able to understand how I feel right now. I can't let Brett do this, the child is my support, my everything. I have nothing now, except for this child. If Brett takes it away, he will keep me here and continue to hypnotize me, making me lose my memory." Izabella choked as she spoke.
Tiara's sense of justice exploded, and she decided to help Izabella, but she was just a maid. What could she do?
Tiara asked, "What should we do? Shall we call the police?"
Izabella shook her head and said, "It's useless, Brett has already said that I am mentally ill. If you call the police, I'm afraid it will involve you too."
Izabella had been in and out with Brett over the past few months, and she had a rough idea of how powerful he was. There was nothing he couldn't do.
Upon hearing this, Tiara's face turned pale, and she stuttered, "Is there really no other way?"
Izabella shook her head, "Tiara, I've decided to escape on Monday."
"Escape?" Tiara asked in surprise, "How are you going to get away with it? There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and Adrian is watching you. Even if you do escape, do you have any money? Not to mention, it's not easy to find a job when you're pregnant, and giving birth requires a lot of money."
With that said, all the problems came out, and Izabella had thought about all these.
She said, "I need your help with the surveillance and Adrian part. As for money, Brett gave me a card, and I plan to withdraw the money."
It wasn't difficult to sabotage a few surveillance cameras, but it was important to make sure not to get discovered.
When a person was determined to do something, all surroundings would come to help.
Sunday night, a heavy rain suddenly fell, with thunder rolling. There were not just the sound of rain but the wind as well.
The weather forecast included red rainstorm and typhoon warnings. In less than an hour, the roads were already flooded.
Brett knew that Izabella was afraid of the dark, especially during thunderstorms. Although he lived in the office, he wanted to go back to see Izabella but was worried about making her unhappy.
After thinking about it, he called Adrian to ask about the situation.
Adrian answered, "The lady asked Tiara to sleep with her tonight."
Brett felt a bit disappointed. Izabella would rather ask a maid to accompany her when she was scared, but she never thought of texting him.
"She should be fine with someone accompanying her," Brett said to himself, looking at the thundering sky outside.
On the other hand, at the villa, Tiara secretly turned off the circuit breaker and then broke the surveillance cameras outside.
Even if Brett discovered that the surveillance cameras were broken, he wouldn't suspect that she had done it. She could say that it was caused by the thunderstorm weather.
On Monday morning, Tiara found an excuse to let Katie accompany her to buy groceries, and then found another reason for Adrian to leave.
Izabella took out Brett's bank card. In order to make her happy, Brett told her all the passwords.
She put on clothes that were easy to move around. Brett had prepared a lot of jewelry for her, each worthed a lot, and Izabella chose a few inconspicuous pieces to sell.
Niki the cat seemed to know that she was leaving and kept circling around her legs, attempting to get her to pick it up.
Izabella squatted down and touched its fluffy little head, poured some fish snacks, and opened a can of cat food. She then cleaned the cat litter for the last time.
Usually greedy, Niki didn't even glance at the fish snacks this time. It laid on the ground, rolling around, and even showed its belly, asking Izabella to touch it.
Izabella couldn't help herself but picked up Niki and kissed its head, "I'm sorry, I can't take you with me."
