Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 48

Brett heard Izabella sarcastically talking about Kaley. His face turned gloomy and he commanded, "You seem to be doing pretty well. You don't need anyone to care for you anymore. Go redo some dishes."

His words were arrogant, as if making food for him was a great honor for her.

"I'm the one who cleaned the room, bought the ingredients, and cooked the food. Didn’t you say that Kaley would come here to take care of me, but now?" Izabella couldn't stand it any longer. Frustrated, she kicked the trash can over, spilling soup all over the floor.

"Brett, do you think I care? You said Kaley was here to take care of me. But I think it's to satisfy your own desires by having your mistress live with your wife. I've had enough of you! I'm done!"

After her nasty words, Izabella felt like crying. She lost her appetite for dinner.

She spent 200 dollars on this meal just to irk this shameless couple, and it wasn't worth it.

Izabella tried to bypass Brett and Kaley to go upstairs and take her medicine, but Kaley seemed to be deliberately blocking her way.

As Izabella's stomachache intensified, her red eyes welled up, as if she were on the verge of bursting into tears. She gently placed a hand on her stomach and questioned in a hushed tone, "Kaley, are you blind or something?"

Kaley nervously looked at her, displaying a certain fear in her eyes. Izabella couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, feeling that acting pathetic was her only recourse.

Without much regard, Izabella brushed past Kaley, barely making contact with her shoulder. Unexpectedly, Kaley stumbled backward like a flimsy sheet of paper, hitting her head against the table's edge. The resulting red mark on her forehead and her teary eyes made her appear as a pitiful damsel in distress, capable of softening any man's heart.

Seeing the scene, Izabella coldly laughed, "Gosh, now I know what it means to be too weak to stand up to a gust of wind."

Kaley was picked up by Brett, who stared at Izabella with his icy gaze.

"Izabella, you didn't take my words seriously these past couple of days, did you? How dare you bully Kaley right in front of me!"

"Bully her?"

Kaley bit her lip and buried her face in Brett's chest, whimpering occasionally as if she was in great pain.

Brett comforted Kaley in a hushed tone, glaring at Izabella. "Get back to your room!"

Izabella let out a casual laugh and made her way upstairs. Her stomach was in pain, but her mind, ears, and eyes remained unaffected.

Kaley's cunning had managed to completely defeat Izabella with just a few words and actions. Judging by Brett's furious expression, it seemed he had taken Kaley's side of the story.

As Izabella ascended the stairs, her pain intensified. Her legs grew weak, and she clung to the railing, gasping for air. From behind her, Kaley's whiny voice could be heard.

"Brett, don't be too harsh on Izabella. She's simply upset because I moved in, and it's her house..."

"It's not her house anymore."
