Twisted Ties of Love

Chapter 129

"Ms. Salotti is so stunning," Jennifer exclaimed.

Yeah, Izabella was gorgeous, the kind of beauty that could make women gasp and drive men crazy.

With Izabella like this, he just wanted to hide her away, not let her go anywhere, and just keep her at home for him to admire.

Brett's strong possessiveness kicked in, he didn't want to share Izabella, even Jennifer seemed to be irritating him.

As Izabella approached, Brett suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap.

The sudden intimacy made Izabella uneasy, she struggled a bit, but Brett's hand around her waist was like a lock.

Izabella's face turned a little red, a stray lock of hair fell across her forehead, making her look even more charming.

"God, I want to keep you locked away for the rest of my life, with no one else being able to see you." It's not just talk, he really thought so. If it weren't for considering Izabella's illness, he would have done so.

Keep Izabella "locked up" at home, cuddling and caressing her.

He could see her every day after work, spending intimate moments together in their private space.

"Psycho," Izabella cursed.

Brett chuckled, leaning in and kissing her delicate collarbone. "Sometimes I think I'm the one who's going crazy." How else could he be so infatuated with someone he once hated so much?

Feeling his warm lips on her sensitive collarbone, Izabella shivered. "If you're sick, take medicine. I need to eat, let me go."

"Here, let me feed you." Brett controlled her body with one hand and grabbed a spoon with the other, scooping some food, blowing on it, and bringing it to her lips.

Izabella glanced at it and spat out.

Brett hadn't realized how much he enjoyed teasing Izabella, it felt like having a cat at home, wanting to tease it from time to time, and the more it scratched, the more he wanted to touch it–he didn't know he liked being tortured this way.

They had a tasty breakfast, and Izabella rinsed her mouth.

Brett's driver was waiting for them outside. Izabella put on some lipstick and followed Brett into the black Mercedes.

Arriving at the place, Izabella followed Brett inside. She'd been here a few times before, therefore the place was not completely unfamiliar, but not very familiar to her either.

This time, Brett came mainly to bid on a piece of coastline land.

As soon as they walked in, almost all eyes in the room fell on Izabella.

At the center of everyone's attention was a stunning red figure, a mermaid-tail gown adorned with dazzling diamonds gleaming in the light.

With exquisite appearance, every step she took was accompanied by an irresistible charm and laziness.

Some were amazed, and others curious. Everyone bidding here was from the business world, and they were very familiar with Izabella.

The Salotti Group was long gone, but they didn't expect Izabella to show up here after all. Didn't she and Brett have some beef? How come Brett would bring her to such a place? And wasn't there a rumor last month that Izabella had gone insane? She doesn't look insane at all!

Brett narrowed his eyes and possessively wrapped his arm around Izabella's waist, leading her to the front-row seats.

He didn't like the way those men looked at Izabella. Brett sighed secretly, regretting bringing her out and letting her dress so beautifully - wasn't it just inviting attention from others?

A waiter handed the auction list, and Brett, without even looking, threw it to Izabella. "Bid on whatever you like."

With the Windham Group's financial power, it wouldn't be difficult to buy everything today. Izabella flipped through the list.

The bidding hadn't started yet, and many people came forward to greet Brett and hand him their business cards.

The auctioneer took the stage, made some small talk and then got to the point, introducing the first auction item.

The first item was a piece of jewelry, with a starting bid of 1.5 million and finally taken by a man for 3 million.

Hearing the number, Izabella couldn't help but feeling surprised: usuallt the auction's prices go from low to high, and the first item already reached 3 million, which speaks volumes about the higher- priced items. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

No wonder Brett was so serious about this auction, he obviously came for the later items.

Izabella was bored, looking around and then just lying on the couch, playing with her phone, as if the auction had nothing to do with her.

Brett picked up the list she had thrown aside. "There isn't one thing you like here?" He thought all women liked jewelry and such.

"I'm sick of it."

True, none of Izabella's previous jewelry was anything less than what's being auctioned, but she had sold most of it to pay off debts.

Brett thought about the surprise he had planned for Izabella and also put down the list after flipping through a few pages.

Several more auction items went quickly, until the last one appeared: Starry Brilliance Island.

The starting bid was 100 million, and Izabella quickly glanced at the introduction, it was a good piece of land, with vast land and promising development prospects.

It was a private island located at the edge of the coast, with a nice climate. However, the land was huge, with a high price and very few bidders.

Brett had a good eye, and many people knew he was here for this place and bid along with him. Finally, Brett won the land for 5.2 billion.

5.2 billion. Hearing this number, Izabella frowned. In her work experience, while it was a good piece of land, it was not worth 5.2 billion.

Not to mention the project would be costly and time-consuming, it was a large place, and many things could happen during the constructions. What could be done with this land to make up that cost?

After paying and signing the documents, Brett listened to a few flattering words. When the reporters outside learned that Brett had bought the island for such a huge price, they all rushed over to interview him.

"Mr. Windham, you bought the island for 5.2 billion, what do you plan to develop it into?"

Brett had a proud and indifferent look between his deep-set eyes. When he heard the journalist's question, he laughed, casually put his arm around Izabella's waist, and faced the spotlight. With his charming voice, he said: "I'm gonna build a playground for my wife. Starry Brilliance Island will be renamed Bella's Bay from now on."
