Chapter 55


    Izabe was shivering all over, leaning against the wall to keep herself stable.


    She had suspected that her dad''s death had something to do with Brett, but she had no idea that


    the truth was so cruel.


    The sacrifice was just too much. She had given up everything she had for an uncertain gamble.


    Kaley, taking pleasure in her misery, continued to mock her, "Izabe, you deserve this! Without the


    Salotti family, you''re now worse off than a beggar!"


    Ignoring Kaley''s haughty face, Izabe raised her hand and pped her. The sound of the p


    echoed loudly through the empty living room. Caught off guard, Kaley fell to the floor.

    Kaley covered her face, disbelief written all over it. "You hit me! I’ll tell..."


    "Smack!" Before Kaley could finish her sentence, she received another p to the other side of her


    face.


    Izabe''s p was so hard it turned her own hand red. She looked at Kaley coldly and said, "What''s


    wrong with me hitting you? I should have pped you twice yesterday, so I wouldn''t be wronged for


    no reason."


    Kaley''s tears flowed, both from the pain and anger. Shey on the floor, pointing at Izabe and


    cursing, "Izabe, you bitch!"


    She looked pathetic with her tear-stained face, and Izabe coldly smiled, "Kaley, save your tears.


    Brett might buy it, but I won''t!"


    Kaley, furious, lunged at Izabe to fight her, but was kicked back before she could even get close.


    "Get out of my way.." Izabe didn''t want Kaley to dy her meal.


    As Izabe left, she continued to mock Kaley, "Who do you think you are? Don''t get too full of


    yourself!"


    Even in these deplorable situations, it was not Kaley''s ce to boss her around. After all, she only


    had two years left to live. Everyone might as well let loose and have a bad time.


    Kaley clenched her teeth, her chest ached from Izabe''s mockery.


    As Izabe went to get her delivery, she thought to herself that Kaley was so weak and fragile, Brett


    could have easily killed her. The thought made Izabeugh---Kaley was the apple of Brett''s eye;


    how could he bear to hurt her?


    When Izabe returned with the food, Kaley was gone. While she enjoyed the solitude, Izabe


    could not shake off the words Kaley had just spoken, and she lost her appetite.


    Having been pped twice, Kaley was unlikely to let things slide. As expected, Izabe received a


    call from Brett right after her meal.


    epting the call, she heard Brett''s cold voice, "You hit her?"


    He called her either to make her apologize to Kaley or to hold her ountable for what she did.


    Izabe mocked herself with a smile.


    "She deserved it."


    "Izabe, it seems that the lesson I gave you yesterday was too light! You know how delicate her


    health is. She has clotting disorders..."


    "Is she dead?" Izabe asked. "Brett, you know my condition too. You treated me like that


    yesterday, and I survived. Would two ps from me kill her?"


    Brett tried to suppress his anger. "So this is your reason for hitting her?"


    "My reason for hitting her is that she deserves it. She came to me looking for trouble. If I hadn''t


    taken into consideration that she''s your mistress, I would''ve hit her even harder!"


    Brett was furious and frustrated. "You still dare to talk back? Izabe, have you forgotten how your


    father died?"


    The mention of her father''s death reminded Izabe of Kaley''s words and her dad''s suicide. Her


    eyes filled with tears, and she struggled to catch her breath.


    "Brett, thanks for reminding me. I haven''t forgotten how my father died, nor have I forgotten how


    you pushed him to his death!"


    Brett suddenly fell silent. Izabe calmly waited for his response, only to get a cold, "We''ll talk when


    I get back."


    "Fuck you!" Izabe immediately hung up the call.


    What could Brett say? Would he exin himself for one sacrifice? No, a person as arrogant and


    reckless as he would never admit his mistakes, let alone exin himself.


    Besides...would an exnation even help?


    Izabe sat in the living room for a while, but eventually, she couldn''t stand the silence and turned


    on the TV with the volume all the way up.


    She started watching a randomedy, filled with exaggerated, over-the-top acting. Every


    character was like a clown. She used tough heartily at this movie, but now she couldn''t even


    crack a smile. Touching her cold face, she wondered when she had be so joyless.
