Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 516

Brett was a man of strategy; different from other common thinkers, he always considered things three steps ahead just like playing chess. His approach to business was not to burn any bridges, but if he had to strike, he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to corner his opponents, leaving them gasping for breath.

The Windham family were renowned for producing brilliant business minds, but unfortunately, they were incapable of nurturing real, flesh-and-blood human beings.

Being the wealthiest family in J City for centuries, the Windham Group had a history of heirs not living past their forties, with the exception of Patrick.

Although having arranged the matter, Brett was recovering at home, looking idle, he actually was expecting for someone to contact him, waiting for Izabella, or anyone from the Dempsey family.

The first call he received was from his aunt.

"Brett, have I ever done anything to hurt you?" Bunny asked straight up.

"No," Brett answered indifferently.

Bunny had never done anything to harm him. However, after getting married, she had never visited the Windham family even since; she was more of an outsider instead of a relative, watching everything with cold eyes.

Even when her own brother and sister-in-law passed away, Bunny didn’t return. Perhaps she had her reasons.

Brett never held it against her; it was better to live their own life without disturbing each other’s. In business, family ties can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help.

"So why are you doing this to the Dempsey family?" Bunny asked, her voice strained.

Brett fell silent, seemingly lost in thought; he talked to himself, "Over these years after grandpa died, you’re actually kind to me, inviting me to dinner with you at your house, serving me more food and asking me to eat more.”

“Then what reason.”

“My reasons are simple. A woman," he interrupted her.

Bunny's hands clenched till her knuckles went white, "Izabella? Really, is it her?"

"Yes, her," Brett confirmed.

Bunny had never imagined Izabella having any connection with Brett. They seemed like two people from completely different worlds.

But then she remembered, when Izabella was kidnapped, Brett and Casey had rescued her. Brett even took a bullet for her and was severely injured.
