Brett went back home at 10 in the morning because Izabella had a stomachache and he was worried that last time's situation would happen again.
After returning home, he imagined various scenes, such as Izabella admitting her mistake and apologizing, or continuing to be stubborn and refusing to admit her mistake… But he never expected that when he got home and went to the bedroom, he would see blood on the floor. He searched the entire house and couldn't find Izabella.
At that moment, he suddenly felt an unusual panic, like when he lost his favorite toy as a kid and never found it again.
The whole villa was quiet. He shouted Izabella's name, and the only response was the silence of the house.
He walked to the balcony and stepped on the glass debris, not knowing when Izabella had disappeared. There were no cameras in the villa. The fastest way to find out her whereabouts was to call the police.
But he was reluctant to and wanted to investigate it himself. He called Izabella, the call went through, but the sound came from the room.
Brett found Izabella's phone on the bed by following the sound. The phone was locked, and he tried to unlock it but failed.
Without her phone, Izabella couldn't have escaped on her own.
Who's most likely to take her away? Presley's name came to Brett's mind. He clenched the phone tightly, his face pale.
Brett went directly to the property management to explain the situation and check the security footage, setting it at three times speed to watch.
Sure enough, around 8:00 a.m., he saw Presley and his men coming in and forcefully unlocking the door to take Izabella away.
The picture was a bit blurry, and he couldn't see Izabella's face clearly, but he could see her lying quietly in Presley's arms like an obedient cat.
Seeing this, Brett slightly squinted his eyes, revealing a fierce look. The anger in his chest seemed to want to burn his heart to pieces.
The other two people in the surveillance room were scared and didn't dare to speak because of the stifled atmosphere.
