Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 58

Izabella thought of many outcomes, but she never expected that Brett would blatantly mock and ridicule her in order to defend Kaley.

Her heart ached like hell, but still, she couldn't help feeling lousy. Izabella coughed a couple of times, wiping the blood on her hands onto her clothes. She was lucky that she was wearing a black jacket today, so even if it got stained with blood, it wouldn't show.

"Brett, this is the lesson you taught me. Haven't you beaten me up enough times yourself? Your slap was much worse than hers." Izabella leaned back on the edge of the bed and slowly propped herself up. Her body was swaying, but she didn't fall back down.

Brett completely ignored Izabella's pale face. This woman was good at pretending, always faking sickness to gain sympathy. He had been fooled by her once before!

People are like that - once you've been tricked, it leaves a gap in your impression of them, and all the previously ignored things break through that gap like a flood, wiping away all the good memories.

Not only was Brett angry and frustrated, he even felt like he was a laughing stock.

His attitude towards Izabella became even harsher, as if he wished to turn into a sharp knife and stab her full of wounds.
