Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 144

As Izabella walked out of the company, the refreshing evening breeze blew away the chaos in her head, but her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.. She needed to find a place to sit down quickly. Izabella saw Brett's car, and she hurried over to it.

Brett snuffed out his cigarette, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat. After seeing Izabella buckle her seatbelt, he tossed a bag to her from the backseat.

Izabella held the bag and asked, "What is this?"

"Open it and see."

Upon opening the bag, Izabella found a cup of milkshake packed securely. Even though Brett had thrown it roughly, it didn't spill.

"I heard from Liam that you didn't eat much at lunch," Brett paused before continuing, "I know your stomach isn't in the best condition, and there's a new healthy fruit and vegetable milkshake place nearby. I've tried their stuff, and it's not bad. This is their popular avocado milkshake."

Not wanting to make a fuss, Izabella sipped the milkshake. She had worked the entire day and was worried about her stomach acting up. In the morning, she had vomited blood once, and she didn't want to do so again in front of Brett.

Izabella inserted the straw, the temperature just right.

As Brett glanced at her, he started the car and drove off.

Once on a smooth road, he asked, "You want The Felton Group to participate in the Starry Brilliance Island project?"

Izabella let out a neutral hum in response.

Brett had two speculations. One - Izabella knew about his plan against the Felton family. Two - from the beginning, she wanted to take over the project not because she was free, but to pave the way for the Felton family.

So, was she doing this for the Felton family or for Presley alone?

People say that women are easy to coax. However, Izabella didn't seem like water to Brett. Instead, she seemed fiery, completely disregarding other people's feelings and causing them immense pain.

"What if I don't agree to the Felton Group's involvement?"

Izabella looked at him, forced a smile, and spoke gently, "My mother died early, and apart from my grandfather, both my father and brother in the Salotti family saw me as a thorn in their eyes. They wished for me to die early. During my unhappy childhood, the Felton family was my safe haven, and they treated me like family ."

"Brett, the reason you targeted the Felton Group is clear to both of us. Since I know that now, I have to 'make up' for this. One should never forget their roots and be grateful."

Without the Felton Group, Izabella wouldn't have joined the Windham Group. To please Brett, she had been carefully choosing her words, worried that an accidental slip-up would upset him and disrupt her plan.

After saying that, Izabella pulled a document from her bag and said, "I admit that I took on this project out of personal feelings, but I won't let my emotions affect my work. This is a list of potential companies we've considered, with their pros and cons already marked down."
