Chapter 9


    Izabe had seen Brett angry before, but he always seemed cold even when mad. She’d never


    imagined him being so pissed off like he was today.


    Why was Brett so furious? Was it because of the divorce? Or did he think she had betrayed him?


    Brett didn’t answer her. He leaned back on the sofa, ring at Izabe who looked quite pathetic


    with her red, teary eyes


    “Why suddenly bring up divorce?”


    The way he camed himself and the tone of his voice suggested that she was the one at fault


    Izabe struggled to suppress herughter With considerable effort, she sat up and said, “Brett,


    haven’t you always desired a divorce so that you could be with Kaley without any obstacles? I am


    now granting you that wish, so why the reluctance on your face?”


    “I asked you why you want a divorce” Brett reiterated, his voiceden with weight


    “What else could it be? I’m tired of this mamage. I don’t like you anymore Are those reasons


    enough? Izabe’s eyes were frighteningly red, maybe from crying earlier


    She stared at Brett fearlessly, as if trying to see through the skin to his heart What was it made of


    that she could never have it?

    Izabeughed mockingly. “If you think these reasons aren’t enough, then just assume it’s as you


    think”


    What he thought, what could it be? Surely he suspected that Izabe was cheating since she


    suddenly didn’t love him anymore?


    Brett didn’t care about her feelings, but he knew what she felt for him. Now that she said she no


    longer cared, he felt empty, as if something was missing.


    Brett’s gaze turned dark, his anger reignited His eyes grew red as he spoke, “Izabe, it appears


    you’ve been quite busy during my absence. Divorce is merely a facade, while having an affair is the


    harsh truth. Thatwyer you met today must be one of them, am I right?”


    Brett looked down on her, his eyes filled with contempt.


    Izabe felt sick to her stomach due to his oppressive aura. While gentle, she wouldn’t take


    everything lying down. Brett’s words made her chest churn with anger, that breath nearly crushing


    her ribcage


    “You’re right! So, what?” Izabe clenched her teeth, scoffing sarcastically, “Oh, so only you can


    have an affair and I can’t?”


    “Say that again, I dare you!”


    Izabe closed her eyes, she didn’t want to waste any more of her remaining life on Brett.


    “Brett, four years are long enough. I don’t have another four years to spend on you. I cant wait any


    longer”


    Brett was taken aback by Izabe’s words, perceiving them as the desperate plea of a dying


    person. He couldn’tprehend their meaning and responded with a sneer. “So now that I’ve


    discovered your little schemes, you want to be with your lovers? Izabe, you’re the one who


    coerced me into marrying you. There’s no way you’ll obtain a divorce so easily“”


    Coerced? Wasn’t it Brett who had proposed to her in the first ce?


    Izabe found the situation rather amusing. “Don’t worry, I’ll provide you with a fair divorce


    settlement. I won’t let you suffer any losses.”


    But did he even care about the settlement? The daily profits of the Windham Group far surpassed


    those of the Salotti Group. Even if Izabe handed over the entire Salotti family fortune, it would


    barely register for him. He had always taken what he desired by force, never relying on anyone to


    simply hand it to him


    Brettughed coldly, his anger once again directed at Izabe


    “What are you doing?!” Izabe knew what would happen next with this movement


    Brett bent down to kiss her neck, biting her Izabe gasped, tears streaming from the pain.


    Brett chuckled, “You’re making such a fuss Isn’t this to keep me here with you?”


    Izabe retorted, “I didn’t ask you to stay I just want a divorce.”


    Brett didn’t like hearing the word “divorce He bent closer to silence her with a kiss.


    Tears kept rolling down Izabe’s cheeks. She bit Brett in the mouth, tasting blood Brett slightly


    furrowed his brows but didn’t let go.


    Feeling nauseated by the blood in her mouth, Izabe was afraid she might vomit.


    Unaware of Izabe’s distress, Brett remained consumed by thoughts of her alleged infidelity. He


    seethed with a fury akin to a ravenous beast, driven to consume the woman he deemed


    despicable.


    Mercy had never been in Brett’s repertoire when it came to Izabe. Instead, her tears only served


    to further stoke his anger, transforming him into a demonic force from the depths of hell


    Retracting his lips, Brett tenderly blushed his fingers against her disheveled hair before gripping her


    jaw with a merciless grip. His voice dripped with coldness as he inquired, “Does it hurt? Do you still


    crave other men?”


    Izabe’s eyes were red and watery Dazed and distant, it was like she hadn’t heard Brett’s words.


    Brett gently brust fover her eyes, his voice deep, “Don’t have any thoughts you shouldn’t have in the


    future.”


    “Brett, am I overthinking or are you? Izabe choked, sobbed, and asked.


    “Aren’t you very fond of Kaley? Then divorce me and give her a status! Or you’ve fallen in love with


    me?”


    Brett scoffed, “Izabe, I don’t divorce you only because of the blood in your body. You really think I


    can put you in my heart? Stop dreaming!”


    Feeling dead inside happened in an instant Izabe had once taken this marriage seriously, but it


    was Brett who ruined her sixteen years of love and trampled her heart in


    the mud. At first, she was a bit hesitant to let go, but now Izabe just wants to divorce Brett ASAP


    it’s not like she can’t live without him
