Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 160

Izabella was lying there with nothing to do, unable to sleep, so she figured she might as well strike up a conversation.

"Where's Heckter?"

"He's been taken care of," Brett stated, his expression devoid of emotion, yet a glimmer of coldness flickered in his eyes when he mentioned Heckter. He had hoped Izabella would broach the topic of the "body-selling agreement" on her own, but after waiting for a while, all he received was a nonchalant "oh" from her, without any further discussion. "I have already torn up the agreement you signed, so Heckter won't trouble you anymore, and your brother will be safe," he assured her.

Izabella's face changed, "Whether he's fine or not has nothing to do with me anymore."

From the moment Heckter drugged her and Lucas abandoned her, she decided to cut ties with him.

She couldn't bring herself to keep compromising under Brett for the sake of such a selfish and inhumane brother.

As Izabella lay in bed, her previously unfocused gaze suddenly locked onto Brett's handsome face. "Brett, I want a divorce," she declared.

Brett's eyes flickered momentarily, as he swiftly suppressed the panic welling up inside him. He responded with a touch of sarcasm, "I haven't even inquired about that body-selling agreement you signed, and you're already seeking a divorce? Is this how you fulfill your duties as a wife?" Izabella repeated the phrase "body-selling agreement" in a bewildered manner, then reality crashed back upon her. Hadn't Heckter swapped out the original IOU with the body-selling agreement while she was drinking, and she unwittingly signed it?

Since Brett had torn up the agreement, he must have read everything on it. Did he think she was dirty now? That she could sell her self-esteem and body to save Lucas?

But since she had decided to divorce him, his misunderstanding wasn't that important.

"The body-selling agreement is exactly what you think. I sold myself to save Lucas."

Brett didn't even want to confirm whether the agreement was real or fake. Simply because of Izabella's words, he was furious.

"Divorce? Don't even think about it!"

Upon hearing Brett's words, Izabella smiled and said, "Brett, I'm dirty."

Brett looked cold and indifferent. "You can just wash it off, besides, you're not dirty."
