Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 134

Izabella walked up to Lucas with a cold expression, giving off a chilling vibe. "Lucas, you think that blaming me for our dad's death will make you feel better and help you pretend that you didn't play a part in it? If you were a little more reasonable and kept an eye on dad instead of leaving him to sign that contract, he wouldn't have died, and the Salotti family wouldn't be ruined!"

Throwing the blame around wasn't something new. Words could be like a knife, piercing people until they're bleeding heavily.

At this moment, when Lucas made eye contact with her, he subconsciously stepped back, his heart filling with fear and anxiety, like a trapped beast struggling in vain.

The woman holding his hand clearly felt him shaking. Hearing Izabella's cold questioning, she was a little scared as well.

Now that she saw Lucas being afraid, the differences between them became very apparent, making her think that he was utterly useless, even afraid of his own sister.

She pinched Lucas's arm forcefully. "Lucas, she's just shifting the blame, putting the cart before the horse!"

The sudden pain in his arm brought Lucas back to reality. After being goaded by the woman's words, he raised his hand immediately.

Izabella didn't panic at all. With cold eyes, she stared at his raised hand, thinking that if he slapped her, she would cut off all ties with him from now on!

At that moment, her father's last words to her on the phone kept replaying in her mind.

"Izabella, you take good care of your brother."

Lucas's slap never came down as she wished.

He withdrew his hand with a cold expression, saying word by word, "Izabella, who do you think you are? Everyone who has anything to do with you ends up being miserable. You're like a disaster magnet. You know Presley, right? Do you know why he had to go abroad? He was forced out by Brett! His company was going downhill because no one dared to work with him, and he was about to end up like the Salotti family. He had to go abroad to save the Felton Group."

Lucas sneered, "You should know better than anyone why Brett was targeting Presley."

Izabella stiffened in disbelief, her voice trembling as she asked, "What did you say?"

Lucas paused for a moment, mocking her with a smile. "I see you didn't know. How do you even have the courage to live in this world? You think you've married a good man and enjoy all the things that he brought you, while everyone around you is stripped of everything they have."

Izabella's mind was in a daze, and after hearing the earlier part, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, biting her lower lip hard to suppress the trembling sound.

So that was the real reason why Presley left the country.

How could she believe that he went abroad just to study? He was researching all along in the country, and he already had achieved some results. Going abroad meant having to start everything from scratch.

Lucas laughed mockingly. He knew his sister better than anyone, and he knew that breaking her heart would bring her more pain than any physical harm.

Biting her from the inside out would make her feel unbearable. Whenever Izabella saw Brett in the future, she would think of Presley and she would be in pain!

Lucas revealed a triumphant smile, wrapping his arm around the waist of the woman beside him. She glanced at Izabella, her elbow hitting her brutally as she walked past Izabella.

Izabella staggered and hit the wall.

"Oops, I didn't mean it."

Lucas glanced at Izabella, though he couldn't see her face. He just saw her slender figure slightly leaned forward, holding onto the wall.
