Twisted Ties of Love

Chapter 325

Tiara wanted to take Niki away back then, but Niki just wouldn't leave, insisting on staying in this empty villa.

Its limbs had been severely injured before, and even though it recovered, it still limped when it walked, a permanent scar.

The once beautiful cat was burned in a fire, leaving only one ear, and a patch of bald fur. Brett often glanced at the photo of Izabella holding the cat.

It was hard to believe that this cat was the same one as the beautiful one in the picture.

Niki became lonely after Izabella's death, eating and sleeping all alone. Its favorite places were where Izabella had been.

Brett tried to get close to it, but every time he was met with scratches and bites. Gradually, Brett let it be, only giving it cat food on time every day, and leaving the task of cleaning up the cat poop to the cleaning staff who came to clean the house every day.

After feeding the cat and giving it water, Brett went upstairs to take a shower.

He took a cold shower, revealing various scars on his skin from cuts and burns. Near his heart was the word "Bella", which he had burnt into his skin with a cigarette during a drunken rampage.

He didn't want to hurt himself, but in these three years, he could only remind himself that he was still alive through this method.

In order to satisfy Izabella's revenge, he had to live painfully until the end of his life.

After taking a cold shower, Brett lay down on the bed, thinking of the scene in the elevator. He looked at the wedding photo hanging above the bed and murmured, "If only it was really you..."

...

Izabella had a restless night, filled with nightmares of her previous life.

She woke up with a scream, holding her knees and trembling with her frail body, panting cold air through slightly opened lips.

It took her a long time to calm down. She wiped the cold sweat from her face and got up to drink a glass of cold water.

The sky outside was pitch dark, and it was already 5 o'clock when Izabella checked the time.

Rubbing her sore eyes, she didn't have the habit of going back to sleep after waking up, so she changed into sportswear from her closet.

She turned on her phone, and a new message appeared on the screen: an incoming transfer of 200,000. Although not a lot of money, it was enough to support her for a while.

Izabella first bought herself some suitable clothes, then repurchased the skincare products she had been used to using in her previous life. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

After shopping, she sighed deeply. It was indeed good to have money.

Then, Izabella immediately went outside for an hour-long run. Her body was too weak, and with the lessons from her previous life, she was determined to exercise well this time, trying to beat the bastard or at least run away from him.

At 6:30, there was an old lady outside the community gate, selling breakfast with a small stall. Izabella bought milk and bread.

The old lady quickly packed the bread into a plastic bag and handed Izabella a cup of milk, "Young lady, you get up so early."

"I went for a run."

"Nowadays, it's rare to see young people who take such good care of their bodies..."

After listening to the old lady's chitchat, Izabella took her breakfast and left. Back at her small apartment, she put the breakfast on the table, washed her hands, and started eating. While chewing on the bread, she checked Twitter and suddenly noticed that the number of private messages insulting her had gone from 100,000 yesterday to almost 500,000.

Were netizens so idle now?

Izabella never understood the entertainment industry. To be honest, she was more suited to working in a company and being a career woman. Unfortunately, she didn't have the money to invest.

Once she made a few million, she would start a company and buy stocks.

Izabella was getting ahead of herself. She clicked on the "Discover" tab and saw her name on the trending list, although this was not unusual.

Not only was she trending, but so was the "Blood Ties" crew.

There were a total of 50 trending topics, and six of them were about her.

#Vivian's response#

Izabella clicked on "Ariana" first and instantly understood the whole process of her trending.

It turned out that Ariana had posted a cryptic tweet.

-- Some people not only like to steal men but also like to steal roles that don't suit them at all.

Netizens were very curious, and following the clues, they caught some hints.

It turned out that Ariana was the original choice for the female supporting role in "Blood Ties", and she was just about to sign the contract. But she was informed in the middle of the night that her role had been taken away by someone else, and that someone was the notorious Izabella!

The supporting role "Megan" was a character Ariana had finally come to like. She had rejected all recent arrangements to focus on studying the script for this role.

Brad was satisfied with her audition and told her to wait for the news. Her agent also tried to inquire with the production company, who said that the role was most likely to be given to her.

If it weren't for Izabella, how could she lose the role she had already gotten?

She knew that Izabella hadn't signed a contract with the crew yet. If she could make a big deal out of it and boycott Izabella with her fans and opponents, Brad would have to change the cast due to the pressure.

However, she underestimated Brad's ability to withstand pressure. He directly refuted her.

-- I made the decision. Bear with it!

This statement surprised the netizens. They didn't expect this to be true, that Brad had indeed chosen Izabella for the female supporting role. Was he crazy to employ someone like Izabella?

Curious netizens couldn't help but speculate that Izabella must have had an affair with the director for the script.

Brad had many fans, all of whom were fans of his TV shows. They knew that the actors he chose were always suitable for the roles, but they couldn't accept it this time.

After all, Izabella always wore heavy makeup, which was a far cry from the brave and resourceful "Megan" in Blood Ties.

As for acting, Megan was a complex character, but Izabella had only been in a college-themed TV show, and her acting there was just meh. She was not cut out for this role at all.

So, Brad's Twitter comment section was flooded with fans' messages.

"Mr. York, if you're being held hostage, blink twice."

"Listen, don't take dirty money, and don't sleep with shady people. You'll catch something nasty."

"Tell me, how much did Izabella pay you? I'll offer ten times that. If it's over a hundred bucks, forget I said anything."

"Mr. York, I've watched every one of your TV shows. You're like a breath of fresh air among all the crappy ones. Are you really gonna let yourself get tainted now? Izabella's just not it. Open your eyes, choose Ariana. I've read the original book of Blood Ties, and it's a great script. Don't let one person ruin the whole show."

"If you insist on using Izabella, we'll have no choice but to boycott the production!"
