Kaley's lips were trembling, "Brett, are you doubting me?"
Brett's eyes darkened, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Kaley, you know I like people who behave and obey, and I hate deception."
He firmly grasped Kaley's chin, forcing her to tilt her head back. Her face was pale, and it's unclear whether it was due to fear or pain. She tried to stay calm, but under Brett's sharp gaze, she started feeling guilty, her eyes flickering.
Brett saw Kaley's face clearly, gritting his teeth and letting out a cold snort.
Kaley shivered at the sound, her legs trembling badly.
Brett had begun to doubt her. It might not be long before he found out that she deliberately fell down the stairs to frame Izabella.
Kaley didn't know how to dispel Brett's suspicions. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. Brett hated being deceived by others the most.
"Kaley, was I not good enough for you?"
Kaley shook her head, crying.
In the past, when Kaley cried, he would feel heartbroken. But now, seeing it only disgusted him. People are like that. Once deceived by someone they trust, many things that happened in the past would be brought up, and some previously overlooked details would become more and more chilling.
Feeling like he had touched something dirty, Brett pushed Kaley away with force.
Kaley had just had blood drawn today and was weak. On top of that, Brett used his full strength, pushing her backwards onto the bed. She hit the edge of the bed hard and her face crumpled with pain.
Kaley clutched the painful spot, her breathing unsteady. She hadn't expected Brett would turn on her, even after he had just been gently coaxing her, saying he would marry her in a year and let her raise Izabella's child.
"Kaley, I can tolerate your willfulness, but you shouldn't have used me to hurt Izabella." The thought of Izabella's breakdown and cries on the bed made his heart ache.
