Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 117

Kaley stood under the scorching sun with a thermal lunchbox, her face burned red. She couldn't hide the joy in her eyes when she saw Brett coming out of the building.

"Brett, I made some soup for you and Izabella. There's also your favorite dish inside."

Brett looked her up and down, before finally resting his gaze on the lunchbox she's carrying, which seemed pretty heavy.

He reached out to take it, saying, "you don't need to deliver it by yourself next time."

"I was worried you wouldn't like takeout food."

He'd been eating Izabella's cooking for a while and got spoiled by it. Takeout no longer suited his taste. However, he couldn't afford to be picky now. Plus, Kaley's cooking skills weren't much better than takeout. If she tried to cook for him, she'd only be wasting her time.

"Do you want to come in?"

Looking at the sweat on Kaley's forehead, Brett asked. Kaley smiled, "I'd rather not. Izabella might not want to see me.

Brett simply nodded, he didn't insist on inviting her, "You'd better go home early then. I have to go too."

As he was about to leave, Kaley called out to him, "Brett, is Izabella getting better? I saw some comments online."

Thinking of the comments, Brett's face darkened, "She'll be fine. And she'll be discharged soon."

"That's good. Call me if you need anything."

Brett replied indifferently, "No need, Liam will handle it."

Kaley sighed, she had expected this cold attitude from him but couldn't help feeling sad. She only smiled and said, "Ok."

She turned to leave without lingering. Brett had already built walls around him, and being clingy would only make him more annoyed. Kaley knew she should just be obedient and agreeable.

As for Izabella, Kaley assumed the crazy online rumors were fake, but judging by Brett's expression today, she guessed Izabella might have indeed lost it.

Kaley's face hardened, hoping Izabella would be crazy for the rest of her life.

Izabella stood in Kaley's way, and Kaley would never forgive her. She had to eliminate this unpredictable factor to secure her position by Brett's side.

Now she had given up on getting Brett's love. She's not dumb, and she didn't want to end up like Izabella, clinging to something unattainable, and losing everything eventually.

If Brett wouldn't give her love, she'd take his money, power, and social standing - all arguably more valuable than feelings.

Her phone inside the bag started vibrating. Opening it, Kaley saw the caller ID, and froze. She hesitated a moment before answering in the corner, a deep male voice coming through the speaker. "Kaley, I miss you."

Kaley's fingers trembled, "Nolan, why are you calling me?"

"Can't I just call you casually? You have such a cold heart. I just want to catch up."

"Nolan! We ended things four years ago! I paid you a lot already, you'd better keep your promise and leave me alone!" Kaley's face turned pale with anger.

"You really think you can get rid of me with that money? Kaley, you're Brett's fiancé. You should have way more money than that, right?"

"No!" Kaley couldn't understand why this scum couldn't leave her alone.

Nolan chuckled, "Kaley, I'll be back in a few days, just wait for me."

"What are you coming back for?"

"Beep beep beep-"

He'd already hung up. Kaley, red-faced with anger, felt fear and rage. Her situation was already bad enough, and now Nolan was interfering. What on earth was he up to?! Thinking of what happened before made her sick.

Nolan was behind the car accident four years ago. She gave him 30 million to go abroad, avoiding Izabella's investigation.

Now he was coming back, and she needed to figure out what to do.

All Nolan wanted was money. He was greedy and selfish. Filing a police report wouldn't help. He had the guts to contact her only because he had something on her. She absolutely couldn't let him ruin things with Brett.

Kaley gripped her phone, thinking fast. After a while, an idea struck her, and a smirk appeared on her face.

Nolan had some influence too. She could use him to get rid of Izabella and then get rid of him without anyone noticing, killing two birds with one stone.
