Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 255

No doubt, Brett had a handsome face, with deep eyes that upturned at the corners. When he gazed at you, it was easy to fall for the illusion that he was madly in love with you.

Despite having a flirtatious face, his lips were thin, and she once saw this type of lip shape online, saying that people with such lips were naturally fickle and unloyal, even able to turn their hearts away from their loved ones.

When she told him that he looked best in a white shirt, Brett's hand holding the newspaper shrank a bit, "I look even better in a white shirt?"

Izabella nodded in affirmation.

He smiled slightly, "Then I'll only wear white shirts from now on."

Brett had many custom-tailored shirts, with more of them being darker colors, which he preferred more. But when Izabella mentioned how good he looked in white, he couldn't help but think back to when he first met Ryker, who always wore white clothes.

After breakfast, Izabella found the pet backpack, and as soon as she unzipped it, Niki curiously crawled in. Izabella seized the opportunity to close the zipper immediately.

At first, Niki was not used to the pet backpack, and meowed uncontrollably. It wasn't until Izabella opened the side zipper and gave it some cat treats that it gradually calmed down.

"I'll carry it," Brett offered, as the once small kitten had grown quite a bit in over forty days.

"You sure?" Izabella looked at him skeptically.

Brett simply reached out and took the pet backpack from her while she giggled at the sight of him carrying the cat, which seemed quite mismatching. She happily followed his pace.

Brett walked ahead and, without even looking back, effortlessly took Izabella's hand as they went downstairs.

The two went to the Windham Group together, and Izabella noticed that the female employees' outfits had changed significantly. They all wore long clothes, and the occasional pencil skirt was knee-length.

At the reception desk, Izabella saw Janet, who also looked more conservative and wore less makeup. Janet glanced at her and then quickly lowered her head, as if unwilling to make eye contact.

Izabella only gave her a brief look before following Brett into the private elevator. His office was huge, with a separate resting area for sleeping and even a partitioned space for bathing and grooming, probably prepared for his overtime work.

While Brett was working outside, Izabella stayed indoors watching TV and petting the cat. She was also brought fruit, nuts, and juice from the secretary.

She tried her best to keep a low profile, refraining from disturbing his work unless he called her.

However, she could still hear his conversations even with the partitions, including discussions of company secrets.

Izabella felt a dry throat, her stomach issues and throat inflammation seemed to be getting worse, her throat felt like it was on fire. Not wanting to bother others, she got up and went out with a cup.

Liam was discussing the minerals under Starry Brilliance Island with Brett, an essential factor in conquering the local market in J City. They were considering which area to allocate the minerals, but once they had them, it wouldn't be hard to find partners.

"President Windham, I think we should go for area C..." Liam was still talking when he heard a commotion behind him. Izabella came out with a cup, and he eyed her warily. The atmosphere became tense, almost awkward.

"Come here," Brett called her over.

Izabella obediently walked over, "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your talk. I'm a little thirsty and wanted to drink some water. I'll leave in a bit."

"No need, you can stay here." There happened to be a cup of water on Brett's desk, just the right temperature. When he heard she was thirsty, he immediately handed her the water.

Izabella took several sips, but the dryness in her throat lingered.

"Niki is still inside, I'll go back first."

Brett didn't stop her.

Liam watched as Izabella went back inside, unsure of how to continue. In a low voice, he said, "President Windham, why did you bring your wife in again?"

"What do you mean 'again'?" If he could, he would bind Izabella to himself, so they could always be together.

Liam pursed his lips for a long moment, "President Windham, we're talking about confidential matters here. Maybe we should go somewhere else."

“You talk too much today; just spit it out.”

His attitude seemed to show no concern about company secrets getting leaked. In reality, even if these secrets were revealed in front of Izabella in her current state, she wouldn't understand any of it. But just in case, what if her memory came back?

Liam was well aware of how much Izabella had hated Brett before. If her memory suddenly returned, she could use these secrets to take revenge on Brett.

It was better to be safe than sorry. Izabella was like a ticking time bomb.

Yet Brett didn't seem to care at all, allowing Liam to reveal everything in front of Izabella.

It was May 21st, and Izabella was unaware of the significance of this day. In the early hours, she woke up feeling a chill around her wrist. She opened her eyes to find an exquisite bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet had a simple design with diamonds embedded in it. The most eye-catching part was a small lock.

She lifted her wrist, and the diamonds on the bracelet sparkled under the light.

"What is this?"
