Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 370

During those days after leaving Bell Salotti, Nathaniel went through a long period of discomfort.

After all, Bell Salotti had taken care of him for eight months, picking only the best and most comfortable things for him. After leaving Bell Salotti, Nathaniel suddenly realized that he didn't know himself as well as Bell Salotti did.

Sure, he had servants at home, but they didn't take care of him as meticulously as Bell Salotti did. The breakfast always lacked flavor, and even the clothes that were washed didn't feel as comfortable as when Bell Salotti washed them.

Nobody squeezed his toothpaste for him anymore, and nobody prepared hot water for his baths. In just eight months, he had become spoiled by Bell Salotti, which was definitely not a good sign.

Nathaniel despised this habit. What's the big deal about losing a woman? She was just a stand-in anyway.

Confidently, Nathaniel believed that Bell Salotti couldn't live without him, so he waited at home for her to beg him to come back.

But three days passed, and there was no news from Bell Salotti at all.

Did she get swept off her feet by Brett?

Nathaniel thought that was impossible. After all, he had spent so much time with Bell Salotti and knew how much she liked him. She was born to be dependent on others. As long as someone treated her a little bit nice, she would stick to them like glue.

No matter how harsh the words or how fierce the fights, she would never let go.

But this time, it really seemed like Bell Salotti had forgotten about him. He swallowed his pride and called her, only to be met with a cold dial tone. She had blocked all of his contact methods.

That night, Bell Salotti really did go to Brett's room. Brett stared at her face for a moment, and just when she thought he mistook her for someone else, Brett suddenly got angry and had his bodyguards drag her out.

She paid the price—a broken finger.

Bell Salotti didn't know how she made it through that night. She had already lost her dignity, been humiliated by Nathaniel, and then been discarded by another man.

She had actually liked Nathaniel, not for his money or because he was good-looking.

It was just during a special period that he gave her a different illusion, which made her dazed for a whole year.

In her life, very few people were nice to her. As they say, beggars can't be choosers.

Nathaniel was the most special one. He took her to live in a big house, paid her tuition so she could continue her studies, and even taught her to play the violin.

He even gave her a new name, "Izabella".

She was full of gratitude and hope, but little did she know that everything she had was stolen.

She didn't hate "Izabella," she was just a little bit jealous. How good must that person be to make Nathaniel unable to forget her, even getting a stand-in to remember her?

She gradually learned everything about "Izabella".

Everyone liked Izabella, but who liked Bell Salotti?

Because she imitated "Izabella", she knew how outstanding Izabella was. If she were Izabella, she would also like herself.

The man she liked fell deeply in love with another woman. Her biggest mistake wasn’t falling in love with Nathaniel, but mistakenly believing that Nathaniel had also fallen in love with her.

That night, she went to Brett's room alone.

Nathaniel was certain that she would obediently listen to him and not leave. The day she left, Nathaniel turned his back on her, not even giving her a glance.

What's given can't be taken back.

Nathaniel also knew about what happened the night Bell Salotti went to Brett's room. He found it strange that Brett had no feelings for a woman who resembled Izabella so much. After all, even he was somewhat smitten.

After Bell Salotti left, just as she said, she didn't come back.

Bell Salotti returned to the entertainment industry, and without any connections, she was bullied. Nathaniel's indifference made everyone think that she had been abandoned.

Leaving in such a quiet way easily led people to think that she had offended Nathaniel.

Who was Nathaniel?

He was the heir to the Windham Group, the richest man in J City and no one dared to offend him.

Bell Salotti was like a ticking time bomb. The agency that signed her misunderstood Nathaniel's intentions, thinking that Nathaniel was disgusted with Bell Salotti and wanted revenge.

Nathaniel's cold indifference explained everything; he was indeed taking revenge on her.

It could be said that everything Bell Salotti suffered in the year after leaving Nathaniel was connected to him.

He was colder than a bystander and, more ruthless than an executioner. He pushed Bell Salotti step by step towards the abyss, and eventually she left this world, bringing the real Izabella back.

Nathaniel was unaware of all these, he ignored everything about Bell Salotti. Even though people around him told him that Bell Salotti was doing badly, he believed that she brought it all on herself.

He was waiting for her to come back, to kneel and beg him.

However, he waited, and in a blink of an eye, almost a year had passed.

He stared blankly at the woman on TV, unable to tell whether it was Izabella or Bell Salotti.

He had been waiting for Bell Salotti to regret her decision and come back. But what he saw was her becoming more and more outstanding on the stage.

For a moment, he felt as if Bell Salotti had disappeared.

Bell Salotti was a perfect stand-in; she really became the "Izabella" of yore. But for some reason, Nathaniel felt a bit hollow inside. This feeling wasn't exactly good or bad, just like the palpitations lingering after the feeling of weightlessness, making him uncomfortable.

He had to see her.

Nathaniel began to send people to dig up information about Izabella's recent whereabouts.

There were many people coming here for lunch; it was peak hour. Izabella didn't stay long after eating and left with Nikki.

She didn't feel comfortable leaving Nikki at home. Every time she went out and saw its big blue eyes, she couldn't bear to leave it, so she usually took it wherever she went.

In addition to dealing with real estate and reading scripts, Izabella also started a company named a.

You can't start a company alone, so she found Casey.

She invited him out for a meal, and Casey was somewhat surprised when she said she wanted to start a corporation.

"Why did you think of me?" Casey asked across the table, his eyes shining with anticipation.

"Because I only trust you." This wasn't to please Casey; indeed, after her rebirth, the only person she trusted was Casey.

This answer satisfied Casey greatly; he was happy just by looking at his ears.

Without hesitation, Casey agreed to register a company with Izabella.

When he saw that the registered company name was a single letter, he asked curiously, "Does this have any meaning?"

Izabella shook her head. "No particular meaning, just a random thought."

The procedure was a bit complicated; Casey didn't ask where Izabella's money came from; she simply took out 30 million to start the company without hesitation.

Not worried about losses at all, Casey originally wanted to contribute to the investment, but Izabella had money; she held 90% of the shares, and Casey managed the remaining 10%.

That 10% could be exchanged for quite a bit of money, and Casey didn't want to take advantage of Izabella.

He was never short of money.

Izabella also had her own insistence: "You have to take these shares. No matter how close we are, we have to keep the money clear; you take the shares, and I have to use your connections."

Casey guessed that Izabella wasn't just trying to start a company; there must be something more behind this.

Starting a company was just laying a foundation; like building a house, you need a base first.

Izabella told Casey what she was going to do next; she even brought a detailed document that clearly marked the insider information of an entertainment company and its scattered shares.

"I want to take over this company."

With the money Izabella had, she could easily buy the company outright, but that would be too cheap for them. What she wanted was to disintegrate them from the inside, forcing them to sell their shares at low prices.

Casey immediately understood Izabella's intentions as he looked at the information Izabella handed him. It was clear at a glance; there was no need to think. He suddenly became curious.

According to Izabella's records, she never went to college, let alone had experience doing these things. So how did she come up with such a perfect report?
