Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 431

She indeed managed to bring down the once seemingly invincible Izabella with Brett's help!

But Kristin didn't expect that she would relive those memories here.

She shouted, "Who the hell are you? You're not Izabella! No, you're not the Izabella I knew! Who are you?"

Everyone present, except for Izabella, didn't understand Kristin's words. Seeing her dazed, they thought she had gone mad.

"I'm not the Izabella you knew, but are you still the same old Kristin?" Izabella paused, stood up, and slowly walked towards Kristin.

Kristin turned pale, broke into a cold sweat, and even started shaking.

"You didn't die? You're like me?" "like me" was referring to having plastic surgery, but her secret investigation showed that Izabella never had plastic surgery.

So why had Izabella changed so drastically? Kristin was completely clueless.

If Izabella was pretending from the start, she couldn't have been that convincing.

Kristin suddenly thought of a strange possibility: "possession".

If not for this, why would Brett and Nathaniel be drawn to her? Everything made sense now.

No wonder she couldn't beat her.

By now, Kristin was convinced that this was Izabella, but she still couldn't accept that Izabella owned the Maple Group.

It seemed like God was playing a massive joke on her. Izabella was supposed to be dead, so why did God let her come back?

Izabella had nothing, so how could she achieve in such a short time what others couldn't?

Five minutes ago, she was considering how to negotiate with the CEO of the Maple Group, and five minutes later, reality gave her a heavy blow.

The person she hated the most in her life was Izabella, but now Izabella was her boss, controlling her fate in the entertainment industry. It was undoubtedly a huge humiliation for her!

Besides humiliation, Kristin also felt fear. She instinctively wanted to escape, but the security guard at the door blocked her way.

"Izabella, what are you going to do?"

"Secretary Hansen, leave and close the door. Toby, help me pin her down!" As soon as Izabella finished speaking, Toby immediately acted. He obeyed his employer's orders and didn't show mercy because Kristin was a woman, kicking her to the ground and immobilizing her.

Seeing Izabella walking towards her with a fruit knife, Kristin trembled and said, "Izabella, what are you trying to do? This is illegal! You're assaulting someone, and now you want to kill?"

"You talk as if you didn't 'kill' me before?" Izabella played with the knife in her hand, rubbing the blade with her finger.

Kristin was dressed as modestly as ever, completely covered up, even wearing stockings under her long skirt. She crouched on the ground, the knife pointed at her forehead, watching Izabella in fear.

Kristin was so scared that tears flowed freely, but she didn't notice. All her attention was on the knife in Izabella's hand, fearing that a careless move might blind her or disfigure her face.

Looking at her face, Izabella felt displeased and gently tapped her rigid face with the knife.

"You must have spent a lot on your plastic surgery. Should I call you Kristin or Kaley Cornett?"

It had been a long time since anyone had called her that, reminding her of many terrible and unpleasant memories.

Kristin felt like a fish thrown ashore, unable to resist, struggling to breathe, and making retching sounds.

"Are you disgusted by your old name?"

"No." Kristin panted. Since Izabella was back, she definitely couldn't admit that she was Kaley.

"I don't know what you're talking about; I don't know Kaley." She stammered, her eyes flickering, obviously lying.

"Oh?" Izabella made a doubtful sound and looked at her. "You're not Kaley?"

"I'm not Kaley. Please let me go. I promise I won't appear in front of you again." Her first reaction was to run away.

As she finished speaking, the knife in Izabella's hand changed direction. She lifted Kristin's skirt and effortlessly sliced open her stockings.

"Don't!"

Izabella stood up, stepped on Kristin's ankle, and kicked off her shoes, revealing a pair of scarred feet with uneven toes. They looked ugly.

This was why Kristin never wanted to show her feet.

She walked over, aiming the knife at Kristin's neck. But just as she was about to bring down the knife, Casey's face flashed in her mind.

"Izabella, don't let these people dirty your hands."

The blade grazed past Kristin's ear, embedding itself in the floor with a faint trace of blood on it.

Kristin was so scared that her voice was gone and her pupils were shaking and contracting. She felt a burning sensation on her ear, but she didn't even have the courage to touch it.

A person at the peak of fear was like an old phone, with its memory full and the system lagging, taking a long time to react.

Izabella's face was expressionless, only her deep eyes were gloomy, blocking out all the light.

"Do you know why I'm ranked second in the Salotti family, but everyone calls me the eldest daughter of the Salotti family? Because in the Salotti family, they only remember me. Do you know why they only remember me?" Izabella said sarcastically.

Kristin's face was ashen.

Izabella slowly stood up, returned to her seat, cradling her coffee, and said to Kristin seriously, "I don't even need to lift a finger and you're under my foot, never to rise again. Toby, open the door and let the security throw her out, far away."

Kristin was completely speechless. She looked at Izabella's face, but Brett's face involuntarily emerged in her mind.

After Kristin was taken away by security, Izabella began to check the photos she had taken, sipping her coffee and sorting through the data.

Kristin didn't need her to take action personally. Whether it was Brett or Nathaniel, their methods were even more ruthless. Wouldn't it be better to leave them to deal with her? Especially Brett.

She knew very well what kind of person Brett was. He once told her that what he hated most was betrayal, deception, and lies, and Kristin's actions were exactly that.

Brett once had murderous intentions towards Kristin, and he made her life unbearable.

Kristin was lucky to escape from Brett's clutches, but she seemed to enjoy causing trouble for herself. If that were the case, Brett wouldn't mind helping her solve all her problems.

Izabella sipped her half-finished coffee, forgetting to add sugar and leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. She frowned slightly and put down the cup. She noticed that Toby had been staring at her, so she looked up and met his gaze.

"Toby, do you have something to say to me?"

"Nothing. I just thought about what I should teach you next." Izabella was small and physically weak, and she had passed the best age for training, so she was not suitable for combat training. But she had the potential to kill and her resolute and murderous aura was a clear sign that she had experienced life and death.
