Chapter 129
"Ms. Salotti is so stunning," Jennifer eximed.
Yeah, Izabe was gorgeous, the kind of beauty that could make women gasp and drive men crazy.
With Izabe 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 Izabe, even Jennifer seemed to
be irritating him.
As Izabe approached, Brett suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, making her
sit on hisp.
The sudden intimacy made Izabe uneasy, she struggled a bit, but Brett''s hand around her waist
was like a lock.
Izabe''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 Izabe''s illness, he would
have done so.
Keep Izabe "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," Izabe cursed.
Brett chuckled, leaning in and kissing her delicate corbone. "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 corbone, Izabe 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.
Izabe nced at it and spat out.
Brett hadn''t realized how much he enjoyed teasing Izabe, 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 Izabe rinsed her mouth.
Brett''s driver was waiting for them outside. Izabe put on some lipstick and followed Brett into the
ck Mercedes.
Arriving at the ce, Izabe followed Brett inside. She''d been here a few times before, therefore
the ce was notpletely unfamiliar, but not very familiar to her either.
This time, Brett came mainly to bid on a piece of coastlinend.
As soon as they walked in, almost all eyes in the room fell on Izabe.
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 apanied 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 Izabe.
The Salotti Group was long gone, but they didn''t expect Izabe to show up here after all. Didn''t she
and Brett have some beef? Howe Brett would bring her to such a ce? And wasn''t there a
rumorst month that Izabe had gone insane? She doesn''t look insane at all!
Brett narrowed his eyes and possessively wrapped his arm around Izabe''s waist, leading her to
the front-row seats.
He didn''t like the way those men looked at Izabe. 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 Izabe. "Bid on
whatever you like."
With the Windham Group''s financial power, it wouldn''t be difficult to buy everything today. Izabe
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, Izabe 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.
No wonder Brett was so serious about this auction, he obviously came for theter items.
Izabe was bored, looking around and then just lying on the couch, ying 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 Izabe''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 nned for Izabe and also put down the list after flipping
through a few pages.
Several more auction items went quickly, until thest one appeared: Starry Brilliance Ind.
The starting bid was 100 million, and Izabe quickly nced at the introduction, it was a good
piece ofnd, with vastnd and promising development prospects.
It was a private ind located at the edge of the coast, with a nice climate. However, thend was
huge, with a high price and very few bidders.
Brett had a good eye, and many people knew he was here for this ce and bid along with him.
Finally, Brett won thend for 5.2 billion.
5.2 billion. Hearing this number, Izabe frowned. In her work experience, while it was a good piece
ofnd, it was not worth 5.2 billion.
Not to mention the project would be costly and time-consuming, it was arge ce, and many
things could happen during the constructions. What could be done with thisnd to make up that
cost?
After paying and signing the documents, Brett listened to a few ttering words. When the reporters
outside learned that Brett had bought the ind for such a huge price, they all rushed over to
interview him.
"Mr. Windham, you bought the ind for 5.2 billion, what do you n to develop it into?"
Brett had a proud and indifferent look between his deep-set eyes. When he heard the journalist''s
question, heughed, casually put his arm around Izabe''s waist, and faced the spotlight. With his
charming voice, he said: "I''m gonna build a yground for my wife. Starry Brilliance Ind will be
renamed Be''s Bay from now on."
