Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 458

Since the premiere of "Who's the Ghost," Izabella had been the talk of the town, with her acting skills receiving renewed recognition.

She was impressive on reality TV, but she's even more stunning on the big screen.

In "Who's the Ghost," Izabella outshone all others. Her skills were top-notch, earning her not only a handsome paycheck but a multitude of fans. She's hit the jackpot in both fame and fortune.

Watching Izabella now, people were forgetting that she was once universally criticized. Today's Izabella was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

Sometimes, when they saw her on screen, people can't help but wonder why they ever criticized Izabella. How can someone so radiant deserve any criticism?

This Izabella was so captivating, she's like a sun that can't be ignored.

Her co-star, Casey, also showcased his acting skills in this film. The two of them worked in perfect harmony, marking a beautiful ending to the movie.

In the film, they played a married couple who, from the very beginning, were like the title of the movie, "Who's the Ghost."

The line between human and ghost was blurred, but by the end, it no longer mattered.

Some people lived in the world but felt like they were in hell, while others were in hell pretending to be in the world. The film presented a tale of redemption, culminating in the wife gradually disappearing in her husband's arms, drawing tears from the audience.

The husband came to understand the meaning of life, cherishing the world with the memory of his wife.

After the release of Izabella's film, Brett secretly booked cinemas in various cities to exclusively show "Who's the Ghost."

It can be said that he alone contributed three hundred million to the box office.

Izabella knew about this. Whatever Brett wanted to do, she'd let him. The money he was offering was too good to pass up.

Brett would watch Izabella's film whenever he had free time. Even after watching it over twenty times, he never got tired of it. The most popular topic in his company, aside from work, was this blockbuster film.

At some point, he couldn't escape hearing "Izabella" everywhere. More and more people were talking about her, but Brett felt that Izabella was drifting further away. His world suddenly felt empty and devoid of everything.

Brett, diagnosed with lung cancer, quit smoking. He refused chemotherapy, which could prolong his life, but he felt that being bedridden was worse than death.

The cancer had a significant impact on his body. He was not only in pain, but his hair started to fall out. To prevent further hair loss, Brett got a buzz cut. His handsome features looked good with any hairstyle.

With his forehead exposed, his facial features appeared more defined. Where his eyes once sparkled, there was now no light.

Brett started watching the film again. Every time the female lead's spirit faded away, he would start crying.

Although it was a movie, it reflected real events. Wasn't Izabella also lost to him in a similar way?

Izabella's performance was flawless. She brought out the essence of the script, fully immersing herself in the role. It felt like she wasn't acting, but rather, she was the character herself.

Brett often searched the internet for news about Izabella and read praises from her fans.

They described Izabella as a radiant beauty, like a blooming red rose basking in the sunlight, stunning and eye-catching.

Brett had seen this Izabella before and had etched her image deep into his soul.

That wilted red rose had sprouted new buds, blossoming even more brilliantly than before.

Brett never truly possessed this "red rose." When he had her, he ruined it. And now that she had come back to life, she no longer belonged to him.

Upon receiving news that Kristin had died, Liam was shocked.

After being tortured by Nathaniel for eight long months, her death was horrifying.

Liam had seen the pictures and had nightmares for several nights. Just looking at her wounds, it was clear that Kristin's last eight months were worse than hell.

"Are we sure she's dead?"

Liam replied, "Yes, it's her. I had someone verify the DNA."

Ever since Nathaniel learned of Bell's death and lost the use of his legs, he vented all his anger and murderous intent on Kristin. That she managed to hang on for eight months was already a miracle.

When Kristin died, she was already insane. To her, death was a release.

The company's old shareholders were already discontent with Nathaniel, but they dared not voice their grievances due to his power.

Brett, in the meantime, had secretly started to make his move. Now, with just one final strike, the Windham family's assets in J City could be transferred under his name. Nathaniel could also be imprisoned for murder, a crime punishable by death.

Nathaniel was a ticking time bomb. When Kristin was still alive, he had an outlet for his rage. Now that she's dead, he might shift his attention back to Izabella.

Nathaniel was a mentally unstable madman. There was no guarantee he wouldn't blame Bell's death on Izabella.

Coughing, Brett tasted blood in his throat. It had been a year since he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The doctor had said that without hospitalization and chemotherapy, he had at most three years to live.

A year had passed in the blink of an eye. He had at most two years left, maybe even less.
