Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 383

If it were just modifications made to Izabella's script, he might think it's because Izabella offended the investors. Hence her scenes were cut. But now, the scenes being cut are the intimate ones, which really makes you think.

"These two dudes came early just to see you, not Kristin, right? Spill the beans." Seeing Izabella ignoring him, an anxious Garen grabbed Izabella's arm and shook it, eager for confirmation.

Izabella abruptly shifted her gaze toward the door, revealing a subtle yet ominous smile on her lips. Both Nathaniel and Brett caught this act.

They both looked like they wanted to hack off the hand grabbing Izabella's arm.

There was still a standoff over the script, and the atmosphere on set was consistently down; thankfully, Kristin arrived.

The producer's eyes lit up as if he'd seen a savior.

"Kristin, you're here," he called out loudly, drawing everyone's attention.

Kristin walked in, her face beautifully made up.

The producer was so anxious that he didn't notice Kristin's guilty expression.

Kristin was afraid of both Brett and Nathaniel, a fear deeply etched in her soul. Even after so many years, changing her face, her name, her identity, she never forgot.

Especially when Brett locked her in a dog cage with a dog for three days, she was bitten extensively and was mercilessly thrown into a small village by him.

If not for Nolan Navarro, she would've died. Nolan helped her get plastic surgery. Although her face changed, the toes bitten off by the dog never recovered.

As a result, she never dared to wear skirts again, never dared to expose her legs and feet, always wrapping her feet, afraid that people would see her ugly feet. Kristin resented Brett's ruthlessness, she'd been with him for so many years, yet she couldn't compare to the favor Izabella earned for saving his life one night. Izabella died, burned to death, she deserved it! She had stomach cancer but survived for so many years, so lucky.

Nolan Navarro was also lucky; Brett lived in grief after Izabella's death; he had a mental breakdown and didn't have time to bother with a person named Kaley. He took over Heckter Dees' mess in R City, became the boss of the underground casino, was doing well, had a sizable force, and easily saved Kaley with the identity of a dead person.

After bringing Kaley out, he took her abroad for plastic surgery, changed her name, and let her enter the entertainment industry without any hesitation.

She had been so smooth in the entertainment industry all these years because of Nolan Navarro.

Kristin hated Brett and hated Izabella even more. Although she was already dead, every time she heard her name, it still affected her mood.

There was a person in the company with the same name as Izabella.

She took out all her hatred on this Izabella.

First, she pretended to be her friend, then lured her into the director's room and tried to drug her.

Unfortunately, she didn't drink the spiked drink that night.

Then, she did something that made the company push all the blame onto Izabella. She had to watch as people around her left one by one, watch as fans left her, watch as people on the internet were all condemning her.

Kristin thought to herself, what's more heartbreaking than watching your hopes shatter?

She was no longer the old Kaley; she was now Kristin. She thought she could always suppress Izabella, watch her commit suicide in pain and disappear like a speck of dust in the universe.

However, the turning point came the day she auditioned for "Blood Ties". Kristin wanted to give Izabella the final blow but didn't expect this blow to backfire on her.

Kristin initially thought Izabella got lucky temporarily but didn't expect Izabella to change completely. Kristin worked hard to ruin her reputation, but Izabella regained some of her popularity simply by participating in a variety show.

The more Kristin thought about it, the angrier she got. She found Izabella's location, her gaze fixed on her like a cold and ruthless snake.

When she saw Izabella turn her head to look at her, Kristin quickly averted her gaze.

Kristin was already guilty, and now she dared not lift her head.

She was called over now but had no idea what would happen next.

That day at the opening banquet, the words she said under the influence of alcohol didn't have any special meaning. She didn't admit to anything, just saying, "I don't know," and "No"; the people at the scene were making wild guesses. They also spread the rumors; what did it have to do with her?

Kristin shouldn't have had any involvement with these two men, but she couldn't control her vanity. Plus, Brett and Nathaniel were busy with work; they would invest in various industries but couldn't manage every industry personally. Usually, it was handed over to subordinates or other people to do, let alone investing in a film crew.

Therefore, Kristin never expected that Nathaniel and Brett would come to the set for a visit.

Now seeing these two men on set, she felt guilt and fear.
