Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 371

And she spoke clearly, with obvious logic, which shew she's put quite a bit of thought into this.

Trying to take down X Entertainment from the inside was no picnic, with all the talent the company had on board, including the hotshot actress Kristin.

Casey's been sick and tired of X Entertainment for a while now. Even if Izabella hadn't turned up today, he would've made a move to wipe this company off the map sooner or later.

Others may not know, but having been in the entertainment business for nearly three years, he knew all about the ugly underbelly.

Take Izabella for instance; the company signed her with the plain intention of making her the fall guy. And what's laughable was that without a single photo, a clear video, or a recording, just a few lines on Twitter can control public opinion.

Slamming someone was as easy as pie; after all, cyberbullying ain't illegal.

Just like Izabella said before, it's like a pack of dogs in a village. One dog started barking, and all the others joined in, their yapping echoing all over the place, and yet none of these dogs had a clue why they're barking.

But in Casey's eyes, comparing these brainless netizens to dogs was an insult to dogs.

Mosquitoes would be a more fitting comparison. They were busy sucking people's blood, not showing a shred of remorse. Such a lack of decency.

For now, he can't buy out this company, and Casey knew he can't wriggle out of the 10% shares Izabella had given him.

"I'll arrange some people for you. Aren't you starting your movie soon?" he asked.

Izabella nodded. "Yes, I start shooting next week."

"Just focus on your movie; leave the rest to me."

Izabella trusted Casey to handle things. The 10% shares were still too little, so she planned to wire more money into his account.

They chatted a bit. Casey offered to carry the cat Izabella had on her back, saying, "You must be tired; let me help you."

Izabella glanced at Nikki, who was sleeping peacefully in the pet bag. "No need; she likes to be with me."

"Do you bring her with you while you're filming?"

"I'll hire an assistant to take care of her." Izabella immediately thought of Rachel.

"So, you've settled down in R City now?"

"Yes, I've bought a house."

"Where is it?"

"On the west side."

That's pretty close to where Casey lived a half-hour drive-but the property prices were half as much.

"Not bad; we can visit each other anytime."

Izabella chatted with him about her recent renovation work, and Casey listened attentively. Having renovated a house himself, he knew about choosing building materials, interior decoration, and the preparations before starting work.

Casey glanced at his watch; it was two in the afternoon. Time always flied when he's with someone he liked. He wished he could slow down time to spend more leisurely moments with Izabella. "Since we've got some free time now, how about we hit the amusement park?" He'd looked up date spots online, and amusement parks were the top choice. He thought Izabella might like it. Izabella's eyes glazed over as she heard the words "amusement park". She remembered Brett's words from the other day.

Casey wasn't Ryker. The man she used to think about, who she'd brought home from the amusement park and who'd comforted her with doughnuts, was long dead.

She had seen him get shot three times: once in the leg, once in the shoulder, and once in the chest. She had heard them say there was no heartbeat or breathing.

His body was dragged away, leaving a trail of blood, and was finally tossed into the sea.

Ryker's body was left in the sea at R City.

Her ashes were in the sea at J City.

Could they ever meet?

"Bella."

Izabella snapped out of her reverie, looking at Casey's face. "What?"

Her vacant expression was like a soft bunny, making Casey smile. "I was saying, shall we go to the amusement park?"

R City had many places for dates, and amusement parks were the most numerous.

"Which amusement park are you talking about?"

"Let's go to Starry Brilliance Island. There's a park there that shares your name, Bella's Bay. It has pretty good ratings, and lots of people go there." Casey's usually busy shooting films and hasn't explored R City's fun spots, so he had no idea about the origin of "Bella's Bay".

He'd just looked up amusement parks online, and the highest-rated one that popped up was "Bella's Bay". It had many beautiful pictures, the most attractive of which was the doughnut decoration. Every ride was dreamy, decorated like a candy house straight out of a fairy tale.

Casey was drawn in instantly, and seeing the name of the park, he decided to take Izabella there.

But if he scrolled further down the park's description, he would've seen a line.

This amusement park was built by Brett, the CEO of the Windham Group, for his beloved wife, Izabella.
