Chapter 27
That tear dropped on Brett’s finger, even though it felt cold, he jerked his hand back as if he got burned
His gaze shifted awkwardly, and then he noticed that Izabella’s hand was bleeding
Brett pressed the bell on the wall and turned away coldly, Tm going back Stay in the hospital by yourself I take you to the hearing next Wednesday”
Izabella watched his back and suddenly said, “Brett I always thought you were a man of your word Her voice trembled with hesitation
Brett didn’t look back at her, and as he opened the door and left the room, he casually said, “Izabella, let me remind you, Ive lied in front of a priest
Feeling like all the bones in her body had been removed, Izabella lay limply on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks and soaking her pillow. She felt heartbroken and had a moment of realization
Izabells and Brett’s manage had made headlines back then, as both families were involved with two companies worth billions in addition to the prenuptial agreement, their wedding ceremony was also very
important
They held a simple wedding ceremony in front of the media Standing in front of the altar, the priest held the Bible and solemnly asked, “Mr. Brett, do you take Miss Izabella to be your wife to love her cherish her, protect her in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer?”
That year Brett, dressed in a black suit, stood across her and said three words. “Yes, I do”
So, from the very beginning their mamage was a deception How could Brett keep his word to her?
Izabella cried silently, her body convulsing, the pain spreading all the way to her bones
She looked at the needle in her left hand, pulled it out forcefully, and threw it on the floor. The sound of the V stand rang above her head
The needle punctured her hand, and the blood kept pouring out
It hurt badly, but her heart ached even more
For the first time, Izabella hated her own brain for keeping Brett in her memory for sixteen years. She recklessly got close to him, like a moth to a flame followed him, shamelessly confessed her love, and married him like a fool
Their mamage had been a play from the start, and only she had truly entered the role, becoming a tragic character
Now that the Salotti family was on the verge of bankruptcy, everyone was laughing at her Perhaps those who mocked her knew the outcome before she did. Like a fool, it took her this long to realize how much she had humiliated herself by loving Brett for sixteen years
As Brett left the room, he didn’t leave immediately. He stood by the door, leaning against the cold wall, listening to the sound of crying from inside the room.
The woman’s suppressed crying was like a sharp knife piercing his eardrums, causing him to involuntarily clench his fists
