Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 293

— "Brett, I hope you remember what you said. You'll never be able to live with a clear conscience for the rest of your life."

— "I wish you both grow old together and never separate."

With Izabella's heart-wrenching "blessing", a chaotic noise came from the phone, almost shattering his eardrums.

As if struck by a thunderbolt, Brett stumbled back a half step, standing still with his ears ringing, as if something collapsing in his ears.

"Izabella?" Brett tentatively called out softly.

The phone was eerily quiet, making him extremely frightened.

"Izabella, answer me."

"Stop messing around..." Brett's voice was hoarse, as if there was blood stuck in his throat.

"I'll be back soon. Kaley and I are only pretending to be engaged. I don't like her. The engagement is just for her blood."

"Do you understand me?"

"Answer me... Izabella."

His calls had already gone unanswered. Brett's face turned pale.

The phone screen had gone black. Brett shakily redialed, only to be met with a cold automated response.

—"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is out of service area..."

Brett dialed over and over, his forehead veins bulging, cold sweat dripping into his eyes, tears pouring from them and splashing onto the phone screen.

His trembling hands grasped the phone, his tears sticky and uncomfortable in his palm, wiping his hand and phone, continuing to call back.

Izabella, please pick up my call, please, pick up my call...

At first, it was just his hands shaking, and now his whole body couldn't stop trembling. His scalp tingling and vision blurred.

Why is it so cold? He turned his gaze to the window.

Someone exclaimed, "It's snowing outside! Has it been six years since it snowed in J City? Didn't expect it to snow again this year, especially on this special day."

So it was snowing. No wonder it was so cold. Brett watched the snowflakes falling gently outside like feathers.

Izabella liked snow in winter, but she had never seen such heavy snow.

Brett gazed at the large snowflakes falling from the sky.

It seemed to be the most beautiful snow he had ever seen in his life.

Someone opened the window, and the cold wind poured in. Brett came to his senses and suddenly ran outside like crazy.

Kaley, who was being interviewed, saw Brett's frantic face and her heart skipped a beat. She lifted her skirt, dodged the guests, and quickly chased after him.

"Brett, where are you going? Today is our engagement ceremony!" Kaley couldn't catch up to him in her high heels, so she shouted from behind.

Brett didn't stop for a moment. Kaley was instantly panicked, not caring about the reporters around her. She shouted out a threat to him, "Brett, if you dare to leave today, don't come to me if anything happens to Izabella!"

Sure enough, Brett stopped. He turned sideways, his eyes bloodshot, a glare Kaley had never before seen.

The gloomy atmosphere was like a silver hook about to tear her heart apart, and she retreated in fear. She spoke timidly, "Brett, today is our engagement day. So many people are watching us. You can deal with your business after the reporters and media leave, alright?"

Brett's frown hadn't relaxed since earlier. "Something happened and I have to go back!"

"What about me?" Kaley's heart ached, and she almost cried. She staggered towards Brett with her skirt lifted, "Today is my engagement party that I've been preparing for two months. You're leaving me here alone. Have you thought about my feelings?"

Several ambiguous gazes turned to her, and Kaley's fingers trembled in anger.

Kaley took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and spoke with a calm voice, "If you don't care about me, at least think about Izabella. After all, she will undergo stomach cancer surgery soon. If anything happens to me at this time, she will have one less life."

Kaley spent a lot of money on the engagement ceremony and invited marketing media to promote her and Brett's "love story". Some people, who were unaware of the truth, thought that Kaley was Brett's childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, Brett was snatched away by Izabella, so she and Brett had been separated for seven years.

Nathaniel stood on the second floor, witnessing everything. He lit a cigarette, looked at his watch, and counted the time. Izabella should be...

Suddenly, his heart was pierced with pain. He rubbed his chest, trying to dissipate the strange feeling.

A meaningless life couldn't affect him, and he was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. He was only in his twenties and many people had died in his hands. One woman meant nothing to him. Nathaniel took a drag on his cigarette, the ashes and embers falling to the ground. He half-closed his eyes and looked up at the snowy sky.

Izabella, it hasn't snowed in the city for many years. You're dead, and it snowed. It's a pity you didn't live to see it.

"Is everything taken care of?" Nathaniel flicked the cigarette in his fingers.

The subordinate behind him replied, "I've replaced the USB on the screen and connected the monitor on the other side."

Nathaniel laughed, and the subordinate asked again, "Mr. Krueger, shall we go down now?"
