Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 486

Throughout Casey's filming period, Izabella had managed to deal with Bell’s family.

Fredric, tragically succumbed to rabies due to an infected wound, while Ron and Myra were abducted and forced to work in a sweatshop. Myra became paralyzed and was dependent on Ron, who begged in the streets daily.

Soon, the sweatshop was reported and shut down, with Ron and Myra rescued and returned to their village.

Bedridden and barely lucid, Myra spent her days cursing Bell.

Ron, on the other hand, lived in a daze, never venturing out of his house after returning home. Bell had paid them to sever all family ties and had even changed her identity after receiving her new passport. Nathaniel was also considering a new life for her, to transform her into a completely different person.

Even if anyone were to investigate Bell, they wouldn't find anything.

From the moment Nathaniel helped Bell change her name to "Izabella", Bell ceased to exist in this world.

Casey didn't inform Izabella about his return, but the director did and asked her to ensure that Casey wouldn't slack off.

Upon hearing about Casey's early return, Izabella planned a surprise for him, booking a restaurant, preparing his favorite dishes, setting up a candlelight dinner with red roses, and even arranging a violin for him.

Her body was no longer the one she used to have, and her hands were not the same as before. She could eat, write, work, use a mobile phone, and of course, play the violin.

Her fingers were nimble and well-maintained. As she touched the violin and gazed at it, a faint smile appeared on her face. The violin had been her childhood dream, which she thought she would never be able to realize. But now, she could pick it up again.

Izabella touched the violin strings and started to feel like playing. She placed the violin on her shoulder, put the bow on the strings, and slowly closed her eyes.

The piece she performed was Josh Vietti's Here is the Love.

The upbeat and relaxed violin sound filled the quiet restaurant, making it even more serene. Even the sound of the waitstaff walking was muted.

The waitstaff, who were preparing for the evening, watched Izabella intently.

The familiar melody flowed slowly from the strings.

The meticulously arranged roses seemed to lose their color as everyone's attention was drawn to the woman on stage.

Izabella was wearing a red dress that day, looking even more vibrant than the roses.

Such a vibrant red color made her already fair skin, which was glowing, look even more eye-catching.

The music reached outside the restaurant, causing many passersby to stop and look in. However, they were politely turned away by the waitstaff.

"Sorry, the restaurant has been reserved."

Someone asked in confusion, "Is someone proposing?"

The waiter just shook his head and smiled, "I'm not sure."

A passerby uttered pitifully, "I really want to see who is playing the violin."

Would they be shocked if they knew that the person playing the violin was the popular actress Izabella?

Izabella stood straight and looked elegant.

With her eyes closed and a smile on her lips, her fair hands held the bow. The romantic and lingering melody, with a touch of cheerfulness, moved people's hearts and made them listen attentively. It was as if bunches of flowers were blooming, butterflies were dancing, and sweetness was the only thing they could feel.

Those who were most surprised were the people who saw this scene in person. If they weren't sworn to secrecy, they would have definitely recorded this moment.

People thought that Izabella was just acting, and there were rumors online that she had a low education level, not even going to college before entering the entertainment circle. But they didn't expect Izabella to be able to play the violin.

Moreover, the emotion and melody could not be achieved without considerable effort and time. It was impossible to perform like this without a solid foundation!

Would those who blindly ridicule Izabella online be shocked if they saw this scene? Would they feel ashamed?

There were also some Izabella’s casual fans who became dedicated fans after seeing this. They felt an inexplicable feeling which made their eyes red.

Izabella really was excellent.

With only a few listeners around, she stood there like a beam of light, attracting everyone's attention. She was confident, beautiful, proud, and every move she made was charming.

After finishing the piece, Izabella took a long breath, opened her eyes, and found a couple of restaurant waitstaff watching her. She was startled, and then bowed to them.

Applause rang out.

Izabella took out her phone. At this time, Casey should be about to land. When he got his luggage and came back, it would be just in time for dinner at six.

Izabella sent Casey a text message, then turned to Toby, "Toby, if you don't have anything to do, you can go back and rest. You don't need to protect me every day."

Toby shook his head, "Mr. Dempsey asked me to protect you well, so I will do my duty during his absence."

"He'll be back soon."

"Yeah, but he's not here yet, is he?"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Toby, Izabella chose to remain silent. She knew that Toby was trying to protect her.

"I'll go to the washroom, wait for me here."

Toby nodded.

Toby naturally couldn't follow her to the restroom. The restaurant was reserved by Izabella today, and there were very few people, even fewer staff than usual.

The restroom had a separate door that was closed. From the door handle, you could tell whether there was anyone inside. Izabella washed her hands, and then went in.

As soon as she opened the door, she found someone inside. Izabella quickly reacted, hurriedly closed the door and said, "Sorry, I didn't know someone was inside."
