Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 185

"You haven't slept at all?" Brett asked, sounding hoarse. The smell of nicotine still lingered on him, and it wasn't unpleasant as he spoke.

Izabella glanced up at him unintentionally and noticed that Brett's eyes were bloodshot. He usually looked cold and aloof but now seemed troubled and serious.

Izabella casually asked, "Why did you come home so late today?"

"Something came up at work."

Izabella was taken aback, then quickly responded, "I gave it to Heckter."

"I went to the casino that day to save Lucas by paying off his debt, so I gave my money to Heckter."

"I've seen the agreement Heckter made you sign. It said you only had to sleep with him for one night to clear the debt. And indeed, you were in his bed at the time."
