Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 164

"Next Wednesday is my divorce hearing with Brett, and I need you to testify." Izabella went straight to the point.

Just a short sentence, and Izabella spent the whole afternoon pondering. Asking Kaley to testify to Brett's cheating was hilarious no matter how you thought about it.

"What am I testifying about?" Kaley asked.

Izabella said, "To prove that Brett has been with you for the past four years."

"You want me to testify that Brett cheated?"

"Yes."

"Izabella, are you insane?" Kaley cursed after a while. Going to court to prove Brett's cheating would be like telling everyone that she was the mistress.

Izabella tried to adopt a negotiating tone with Kaley. "Don't you want to marry Brett? Only by testifying for me can you take my place after I divorce him."

"Izabella, are you here to show off?"

Izabella choked. She was telling the truth and genuinely trying to give her advice. How come it was seen as showing off?

Izabella insisted, "I'm not showing off. I just want to divorce Brett and think you two make a good match. I genuinely wish you well."

Izabella tried to move Kaley emotionally and logically, attempting to persuade her.

Kaley obviously didn't believe her, thinking that Izabella was trying to take advantage of her. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"What?"

"You want to make Brett the guilty party so you can get more property from the divorce, right?" With so many properties under Brett's name, Izabella would take a significant share. Kaley didn't want her to have any benefit.

Izabella found her words amusing and replied, "I just want a divorce from him. I don't want a penny."

"Who would believe you!" Kaley scoffed. "Izabella, you think too highly of yourself. Do you really think Brett would be tied to you for a lifetime and never divorce you?"

"When will he divorce me, then?" Izabella challenged. "Kaley, I am not like you. I don't claim the toilet as mine after going to toilet once."

Kaley's expression turned frigid, her grip on the phone tightening. "Who are you cursing?"

Izabella, a mocking smile playing on her lips, covered her mouth and chuckled. "You don't need to know who I'm cursing. I simply want to remind you that not everyone holds a toilet as dearly as you do. Let me jog your memory—don't be too confident. If Brett truly valued you, he would have married you by now. Have you read the recent online comments? If he loved you, how could he bear to witness you being insulted by netizens?"

Kaley retorted sharply, "I am not a mistress!"

Izabella held the phone a little farther away. Even over the phone, Kaley managed to start a quarrel. Kaley was really immature and resembled a market vendor.

Knowing that she couldn't reason with Kaley, Izabella simply hung up.

She didn't want to give up now that she knew he and Izabella were getting a divorce.

Kaley took a cab directly to Quiet Forest Estates. She didn't have a key, and the code for the front door had been changed. She couldn't enter, so she had no choice but to wait outside.

The weather had cooled down recently with a significant temperature difference between day and night. She didn't notice it when she arrived, but she started feeling the chill as the sky darkened.

Kaley wore a dress and carried a bag without a coat. The sky was misty, and there were no stars. It seemed like it was about to rain. Kaley checked the weather forecast on her phone and found that it was indeed going to rain.

She huddled her shoulders, sat on an outdoor lounge chair, and waited till 8 PM. Drizzle began to fall, so she had to move under the eaves of a building to escape the rain while waiting for Brett.

Kaley shivered, her whole body freezing as the thin rain mixed with gusts of wind made it impossible to hide from the rain under the eaves. To keep warm, Kaley had no choice but to squat down.

She waited patiently for over an hour, the clock inching closer to 10 PM. Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in the distance, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation. Kaley hastily stood up, fussing over her hair and adjusting her dress.

As the car approached the gate, Kaley dashed towards it, shouting as the iron gate swung open, "Brett!"

The driver, just about to drive away, heard the voice and glimpsed at the rearview mirror, startled by the unexpected sound. In the dim lighting, he saw a disheveled woman in a white outfit, her face pale under the streetlights.

"President Windham, there's a woman behind us who seems to be calling your name."

Kaley? What could she be doing here?
