Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 338

Brett clicked on the link, and the first thing that popped up was a live stream of "Here Comes the Superstars".

Brett's mind went blank. Just as he was about to close the stream, a familiar voice came from inside.

The sound of thunder in the background music perfectly blended with the gloomy weather outside. Brett's eyes were already red, and he clenched his phone, gasping for breath. A familiar face appeared on the screen.

Izabella was on her knees, struggling to look up at the man in front of her. She wanted to grab him, but the man stepped back.

Izabella's face was covered in tears. She could no longer support herself, and with the sound of thunder, she fell back, losing all her breath.

Tears flowed into his mouth, and Brett tasted a bitterness that was worse than any medicine he had ever taken.

His phone slipped from his hand and fell onto the wooden floor. Brett bent down to pick it up, but his brain felt like it had been hit with a heavy hammer. He stumbled and knelt on the ground, hands on the floor, tears dropping one by one.

In his ears echoed the sound from the phone, but in his mind, he recalled six years ago. The Salotti family went bankrupt, and he took a starving Izabella to court to watch her father get sentenced.

To humiliate her, he made Izabella kneel in the pouring rain for half an hour in front of journalists.

Back then, Izabella looked at him like she did in the video, trying to reach for him but being avoided with disgust.

He never thought he would see that look and expression again; the woman in the video and Izabella back then were exactly the same.

Liam went downstairs and came back up, only to find Brett kneeling on the floor, shaking with his face covered.

Thinking he was having another stomachache, Liam rushed over to help Brett. "President Windham, is your stomach hurting again? Where's your medicine?"

Brett came back to his senses for a moment, sitting on the ground and saying, "I saw Izabella..."

His tone was certain, his eyes red but clear, not like someone hallucinating.

"She's been dead for three years."

Brett's voice was already hoarse, and now after crying, it was even more muffled, as if he had a bad cold. He said, "I know, but I really saw her. Or at least, I saw her shadow in someone else."

Liam sighed, squatting in front of Brett and looking him in the eye, asking, "Where?"

Brett still held his phone, raising it for Liam to see. At that moment, only Harper appeared on the live stream.

"President Windham, are you saying it's him? He's a guy."

"It's not him." Brett frowned, his face gloomy. "It's the woman lying on the ground."

Liam took the phone and went back to the main page, glancing at the title: "Here Comes the Superstars Live Stream Round 4, Harper, Ariana, Izabella."

The last name was jarring. It wasn't unusual for people to have the same name, but what was strange was that this "Izabella" looked like the Izabella who had been dead for three years.

The name was one thing, but the fact that they looked alike was another. Liam looked at the pictures that popped up from the search.

"Here Come the Superstars" had many fans recording the live event, and the most widely circulated clip was the one Izabella performed in, which made it to the trending list.

"This person looks familiar." Liam had a good memory and felt he had seen her somewhere before, not just because she looked like Izabella.

He thought carefully, his head aching a little before finally remembering where he had seen her.

"President Windham, do you remember a year ago, there was a woman who looked like your wife around Nathaniel? It's her. I remember she was even sent to your hotel by Nathaniel once. Her stage name is Izabella, but her real name is Bell Salotti."

That's right, Bell Salotti!
