Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 292

"Beep... beep..." The phone in Izabella's hand was still ringing.

Izabella was gasping weakly, the pungent smell of smoke enveloping her respiratory tract. At this moment, her felt like her throat was being tightly gripped by a hand. With one hand on the ground, dragging her useless legs bit by bit, she finally picked up the remote control from the ground and turned on the television.

At exactly twelve o'clock, the engagement party reached its climax. The scene of the engagement party was being broadcast live on television. The soon-to-be-married couple shone brightly today. The man was noble and handsome, and the woman by his side was wearing a long dress. They looked very well-matched.

Izabella's gaze was fixed on Brett. She silently listened to the ringing sound. After it rang ten times, she saw Brett frown on the TV screen and pull out his phone from his jacket. As soon as he saw the caller ID, he picked it up immediately.

"What is it?"

Izabella gripped the phone in her hand, speaking calmly, "Brett, I can see you."

Brett relaxed slightly upon hearing Izabella's voice, instinctively looking around for her. Then, he froze. Izabella's legs were broken. How could she be here?

"Are you watching the live broadcast?" Brett asked.

"Yes."

"Don't watch it." Brett found the live camera and looked into it. It was as if the two were staring at each other across time and space.

"It’s your engagement party, how could I not watch it? After all, we have known each other for so many years, an ex-wife should send her blessings to her ex-husband." Izabella said sarcastically, watching Brett on the TV. Her hoarse voice sounded chilling if listened to closely.

Brett's eyebrows furrowed. Her sarcastic words hurt him deeply. It felt like he was being tormented by Izabella.

At this engagement party, he could face countless blessings, but he couldn't accept Izabella's blessings, not even fake ones. Over the phone, he heard a lot of background noise. A strong sense of unease rose in Brett's heart. He quickly shifted the subject and asked several questions in a row: "Why is there so much noise there? What are you doing? Where is Katie?"

The bedroom was full of flammable items. The fire that had started at the door had already spread to the middle of the room. Embers were floating in the air, and in a moment, they would reach the television, causing an explosion.

Izabella leaned her head back against the floor-to-ceiling window, phone in one hand, covering her nose with the other, and coughed in a muffled voice: "Brett, I had someone prepare an engagement gift for you. He should have arrived at the venue already."

The first person Brett thought of was Nathaniel. His immediately felt uncomfortable and heavily burdened, almost suffocating.

"I don't want to receive your engagement gift. If you really want to give me a gift, wait until I come back and give it to me in person." Brett had a feeling that Izabella would disappear before he got back. That kind of emptiness swept over him.

"But this 'gift' can only be delivered by someone else on my behalf." Izabella watched Brett on the TV and said sarcastically: "Brett, you said you only liked me, only loved me, and that my disappearance would drive you insane... Now I want you to remember what you said!"

After speaking, Izabella's tears were choked out by the smoke, stinging so much that she couldn't open her eyes. She took one last look at the blurred TV screen.
