Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 262

As soon as Izabella finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks. In order to get Tiara's help, she had to win her sympathy first. Izabella looked gorgeous, and with her illness, she looked pitiful when she cried. Tiara quickly found a tissue to wipe her tears.

"Why are you crying?" Tiara asked while wiping her tears, "You should be happy about being pregnant."

Izabella shook her head and said, "Tiara, Brett doesn't want this child."

Tiara was shocked, her hand stiffly holding the tissue, unable to recover for a long time. Then she asked, "Why?"

Izabella told Tiara everything, including how the medicine Brett gave her disrupted her nerves, and how he never wanted her to regain her memory all along. Brett wanted her to be unable to remember anything, even turning her into a fool and keeping her here.

Izabella didn't understand why Brett didn't want her child, but she could vaguely guess that it had to do with her lost memory.

After hearing everything, Tiara was dumbfounded. What kind of things were these? In her eyes, the gentle and elegant Brett, who loved Izabella, turned out to be such a person behind her back.

How was this any different from imprisonment? He even tried to control other people's memories, what kind of... Was he even human? He was worse than an animal!

"Tiara, you have a daughter too, so you should be able to understand how I feel right now. I can't let Brett do this, the child is my support, my everything. I have nothing now, except for this child. If Brett takes it away, he will keep me here and continue to hypnotize me, making me lose my memory." Izabella choked as she spoke.

Tiara's sense of justice exploded, and she decided to help Izabella, but she was just a maid. What could she do?

Tiara asked, "What should we do? Shall we call the police?"

Izabella shook her head and said, "It's useless, Brett has already said that I am mentally ill. If you call the police, I'm afraid it will involve you too."

Izabella had been in and out with Brett over the past few months, and she had a rough idea of how powerful he was. There was nothing he couldn't do.

Upon hearing this, Tiara's face turned pale, and she stuttered, "Is there really no other way?"

Izabella shook her head, "Tiara, I've decided to escape on Monday."

"Escape?" Tiara asked in surprise, "How are you going to get away with it? There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and Adrian is watching you. Even if you do escape, do you have any money? Not to mention, it's not easy to find a job when you're pregnant, and giving birth requires a lot of money."

With that said, all the problems came out, and Izabella had thought about all these.

She said, "I need your help with the surveillance and Adrian part. As for money, Brett gave me a card, and I plan to withdraw the money."

It wasn't difficult to sabotage a few surveillance cameras, but it was important to make sure not to get discovered.

When a person was determined to do something, all surroundings would come to help.

Sunday night, a heavy rain suddenly fell, with thunder rolling. There were not just the sound of rain but the wind as well.

The weather forecast included red rainstorm and typhoon warnings. In less than an hour, the roads were already flooded.

Brett knew that Izabella was afraid of the dark, especially during thunderstorms. Although he lived in the office, he wanted to go back to see Izabella but was worried about making her unhappy. After thinking about it, he called Adrian to ask about the situation.

Adrian answered, "The lady asked Tiara to sleep with her tonight."

Brett felt a bit disappointed. Izabella would rather ask a maid to accompany her when she was scared, but she never thought of texting him.

"She should be fine with someone accompanying her," Brett said to himself, looking at the thundering sky outside.

On the other hand, at the villa, Tiara secretly turned off the circuit breaker and then broke the surveillance cameras outside.

Even if Brett discovered that the surveillance cameras were broken, he wouldn't suspect that she had done it. She could say that it was caused by the thunderstorm weather.

On Monday morning, Tiara found an excuse to let Katie accompany her to buy groceries, and then found another reason for Adrian to leave.

Izabella took out Brett's bank card. In order to make her happy, Brett told her all the passwords.

She put on clothes that were easy to move around. Brett had prepared a lot of jewelry for her, each worthed a lot, and Izabella chose a few inconspicuous pieces to sell.

Niki the cat seemed to know that she was leaving and kept circling around her legs, attempting to get her to pick it up.

Izabella squatted down and touched its fluffy little head, poured some fish snacks, and opened a can of cat food. She then cleaned the cat litter for the last time. Usually greedy, Niki didn't even glance at the fish snacks this time. It laid on the ground, rolling around, and even showed its belly, asking Izabella to touch it.

Izabella couldn't help herself but picked up Niki and kissed its head, "I'm sorry, I can't take you with me."

She was "running for her life" this time, and she couldn't even protect herself, let alone a cat. She handed Niki over to Tiara, believing that she would take care of it after she left. With no one in the villa and the surveillance cameras broken, Izabella easily escaped. She carried a few clothes, took the bank card and some jewelry, and didn't bring anything else.

The flu season was severe recently, so everyone on the street basically wore masks. Izabella wore a grey tracksuit, a mask. With her hair down, she was completely inconspicuous in the crowd.

Izabella observed her surroundings as she walked. She went to several banks and withdrew 30,000 dollars in cash, which she put in her backpack. Then she avoided the security cameras and entered an alley where she changed her clothes and intentionally wore a wig as a disguise.

Izabella had bought her train ticket in advance and had decided to live in a remote small town. The cost of living there was low, so even with little money, she could sustain herself. Most importantly, the place was remote enough to keep Brett from finding her.

Izabella wasn't worried at all about Brett discovering that there was 30,000 dollars missing from the account. Even if he realized it was her who took it, he wouldn't be able to find her in time because by then she would have already boarded a train and left.

At the train station, Izabella finally felt that she was going to leave Brett. She wasn't too sad, nor particularly happy, but rather calm. Holding her train ticket, she inadvertently glanced at the monitor in the waiting room.

Izabella, with a determined effort, maintained a faint smile and silently said, "I'm leaving." She wondered if Brett would review the surveillance footage here.

At the moment she boarded the train, Izabella felt as if her heart had suddenly collapsed. A wave of desperate pain surged through her, even breathing was excruciating.

She clutched her chest and, after finding her seat, closed her eyes wearily.

In an instant, Brett occupied her mind. It was an angry Brett, a Brett who amused her, who knelt on the ground begging for her forgiveness, and who affectionately declared his love for her.

Her mind was filled with his sha

every expression of his, vivid and clear, if they were appearing before her eyes, entering her heart, over and over again. There were people everywhere at the train station.

Her train ticket was to A City. Once there, she would transfer to several buses to reach a county town, or even a small village.

The 30,000 dollars she had wasn't much, but it was enough to build a house in a remote village. Yet, she didn't plan to settle down, as she wanted to avoid being found by Brett.

As she looked at the moving crowd outside the window, Izabella decided to find someone named Ryker, hoping to regain her memory.

So, her priority was to rent a temporary place. Before her baby bump became too visible, she decided to find a job.

Being disabled with her fingers, it was hard for her to find a job. She could try cleaning or bookkeeping since she was good with numbers.

She wanted to work hard to earn money because pregnancy came with a lot of expenses. She didn't want to have no money for formula after the baby was born.

Every Monday, the Windham Group held meetings. Now that the company had entered the J City market, Brett couldn't afford to slack off.

During meetings, Brett would either turn his phone on silent or give it to Liam for safekeeping.

Today, while holding Brett's phone, Liam noticed a vibration, it was a message about a withdrawal of 30,000 dollars.

Brett's account had a lot of transactions recently, so Liam didn't think much of it and ignored it.

The phone remained silent afterwards.

The meeting lasted around four hours. Brett was focused, patient, and committed to his work.

Approaching noon, Brett's phone in Liam's possession suddenly vibrated. Liam noticed it was a call from their housekeeper, Adrian.

Adrian rarely called, so it must be something about Izabella. Although Brett prioritized work, Izabella was more important.

Liam whispered to Brett, "President Windham, Adrian called. Do you want to take the call?"

Brett's heart suddenly sank, interrupting the meeting and taking the phone with all eyes upon him.

"What happened?" Asked Brett.

On the phone, Adrian asked, "President Windham, I'm just calling to ask whether Izabella is with you now?"

"What does it mean?!" Brett abruptly stood up from his chair, looking tense. He tightly clenched the hand holding his phone, his knuckles turning white.

"President Windham," the housekeeper's voice trembled, "Izabella is missing."

Brett's face turned cold, his hawk-like eyes revealed gloom. His intense aura scared everyone in the meeting room to not even breathe.

Not hearing what was on the phone, they could only guess what happened that made his face so ugly.

Could it be a contract issue?

Brett couldn't hear anything, and had only one thought.

Izabella was gone.
