Izabella was gone, she left.
Brett sorted out all his thoughts before realizing that Izabella had planned to leave him from the beginning.
First, she signed the surgery agreement to make him relax his guard, then she used his guilt to make him stay away from her for the following week. After that, she took advantage of his relaxation and left.
Brett never thought Izabella would leave him like this. She had amnesia, her nerves weren't recovered yet, and she was pregnant and penniless.
Who else did she know besides him?
Brett hung up the phone and walked straight out of the meeting room, leaving Liam in charge of the work.
Brett grabbed his car keys and headed straight for the parking lot. His hands were shaking when he opened the car door. He sat in the car and dialed Izabella.
"Sorry, the mobile you have dialed is switched off."
Brett's breathing stopped hearing this response, and his heart turned ice-cold. It was as if the coldness in the voice seeped into his blood and reached his heart.
He was afraid of Izabella leaving him, and even more afraid of something happening to her. With pregnancy and sickness, where could she go? Did she take her medicine?
And would she go to the hospital and find out she had stomach cancer, thereby regaining her memory?
Various speculations appeared in his brain, each of them making him scared.
The name Izabella kept spinning in Brett's head, like a blunt knife stabbing in, stirring his brain into a mess.
The car windows were fogged up due to the rain the night before, making the outside view hazy. Brett rolled down the window and turned on the windshield wiper to clear the glass.
The air was filled with a strong dampness. Brett drove back to the villa, and everything was the same as usual. Nothing changed.
Lunch was set on the dining table, with Adrian, Katie, Tiara, and even the cat present. Everything seemed normal.
Brett rushed upstairs, and the bedroom door was wide open. Izabella was already gone.
No one in the villa knew when Izabella left.
Tiara and Katie went shopping, and Adrian was called away for a while. The surveillance system was being repaired.
It was during this time that Izabella left.
The surveillance system was fixed now, but it didn't help because there was no footage of Izabella's departure.
Brett scanned the bedroom and realized that Izabella took a few items of clothing and two pieces of jewelry, but nothing else.
Her departure was so quiet that it took Brett a while to come to terms with it.
Brett checked his phone and saw a text message about withdrawing 30,000 dollars. The small digit was barely noticeable among the other messages.
Brett called people to check various stations, airports, and other places for information about Izabella while personally accessing the nearby surveillance cameras. Because he knew the approximate time, he quickly found Izabella's figure. He watched as Izabella, with disheveled hair and a mask, went to a nearby bank to withdraw money, and then she disappeared.
The whole person just disappeared in the crowd. By the time someone investigated the train station records, Brett had already gone through recent videos from the villa, starting from the day he left.
He saw Izabella standing behind the curtains, watching him leave and silently mouthing something.
