Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 139

Brett spent the whole night tossing and turning, he got up as soon as the sky lightened. The first thing he did wasn't washing his face or getting dressed, but lighting a cigarette while standing on the balcony. The ashtray on the table was already piled high with ash and cigarette butts. When he ran into Jennifer downstairs, he suddenly stopped her and asked, "Do you think I'm good to Izabella?"

Jennifer hesitated for a moment. In her eyes, he was good to Izabella, but after hearing what Izabella said, she wasn't so sure anymore.

Seeing Brett's bloodshot eyes, Jennifer's heart pounded. She put on a bright smile and said, "You're exceptionally good to your wife!"

Brett asked thoughtfully, "How can you tell?"

Jennifer couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she felt that the man in front of her did like Izabella. Fortunately, she had seen the latest news yesterday.

"Didn't you spend a fortune bidding for an island yesterday to build a theme park for her? 5.2 billion dollars! And she obviously loves theme parks," Jennifer racked her brains and gave numerous examples. Jennifer indeed spoke from the heart. When she saw the news, she was so envious that it nearly killed her. If a rich and handsome man spent that much money to build a theme park for her, she'd be on cloud nine.

Thus, Brett was genuinely good to Izabella, at least not like some men who only talked the talk but didn't walk the walk.

Brett found comfort in Jennifer's words, and his gloomy expression eased.

When he went to the office and bumped into Liam, he asked the same question.

"Do you think I'm good to Izabella?"

This question left Liam dumbfounded. He struggled to think of positive examples, but all he could see were images of Izabella's pale and weak face. To be honest, he couldn't see how Brett was good to Izabella. But should he be frank about it?

Liam carefully glanced at Brett. His expression was as impenetrable as his thoughts.

Brett didn't get an answer and grew impatient. "What? Is it that difficult to answer my question?"

Liam quickly shook his head and, for the sake of not getting fired, he reluctantly lied: "You're really nice to Ms. Salotti."

Brett sat in his office chair, leaning back against the soft backrest. He was wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular arms.

He opened a drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and asked casually, "Name some examples of how I'm nice to her."

Liam was more quick-witted than Jennifer, and he blurted out some nonsense without thinking. "You helped Ms. Salotti's father with his funeral, and your speech in front of the reporters yesterday was so touching that even I, as a man, was moved. Plus, you trust her so much, and you're giving her the responsibility of handling the Starry Brilliance Island project."

With the cigarette between his fingers, Brett tapped his hand on the armrest of the chair. The ashes, along with the dying sparks, fell to the floor. He muttered to himself, "So why is she still so cold to me? Does she hate me?"

Liam was at a loss for words, scratching his head and struggling to find something comforting to say.

Finally, after a while, he came up with a reassuring response: "President Windham, women are like water. You have to go with the flow and pamper them. Don't force your thoughts onto them. Once they get used to some habits, and they can't live without you, they'll appreciate your goodness."

Brett raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "You're quite knowledgeable about relationships. Have you ever been in one?"

Liam felt a bit embarrassed. "Well, you know, I haven't had the chance."

"Armchair strategist," Brett sneered. "Get the materials for Starry Brilliance Island ready for Izabella. When she comes to the office later, you'll accompany her."

"Am I going to be her assistant from now on?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem at all," Liam quickly shook his head. Not only did he have no objections, but he was actually quite satisfied. Izabella seemed much easier to get along with than Brett. "Help her and make sure she doesn't get tired."

"Absolutely," Liam flashed an ingratiating smile. "You're truly considerate towards Ms. Salotti."

Brett snuffed out his cigarette.
