Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 405

"I can't just go down like this!" Mr. Frost broke out in cold sweat, legs trembling, staring blankly at his dropped phone on the ground. He tried to bend over to pick it up but ended up kneeling on the floor due to weak knees.

His hands were shaking, like a Parkinson's patient, as he grabbed his phone and dialed Izabella's number.

"Izabella, delete that tweet you just posted, or I swear I'm gonna make you pay!" He was losing his mind.

"Mr. Frost, you're flat broke. What can you possibly do to hurt me?"

Of course, it was Izabella! It was too late for threats or begging. Izabella had made his dirty laundry public, clearly out to ruin him beyond repair.

Mr. Frost sneered, "Izabella, ever heard of 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours'? Don't think I won't hurt you just because you're sitting pretty now. If I go to jail, once I'm out, you'll be the first one to get it." Cold laughter filled with contempt and mockery echoed from the phone, not lethal, but extremely insulting.

Izabella said, "Here's a tip, instead of worrying about what happens after you get out, focus on surviving in jail. You do the crime, and you do the time. Mr. Frost, need I remind you, there are all sorts in jail. Bullying is a daily occurrence, not to mention getting roughed up."

Mr. Frost turned pale, grinding his teeth, "You!"

"Don't be surprised, survival of the fittest. You should know better than me."

Mr. Frost was no saint, and his first big payday came from shady dealings. There were always those who didn't play ball in a company, threats and intimidation were common.

Not to mention Mr. Frost's lecherous nature, and many innocent girls fell prey to him behind closed doors. He was ruthless for money and power, often involved in illegal activities. Like Graham said, "she" was also introduced to Nathaniel.

The Salotti family was way above Mr. Frost back in the day. When Izabella took over the Salotti family business, she faced even tougher problems.

In her eyes, Mr. Frost was a mere grasshopper. Acquiring X Entertainment was a piece of cake, costing her peanuts.

Most of her time was spent gathering evidence.

This was just the first step, Izabella's revenge started with "Bell". She never planned to let anyone off the hook: the company's president, manager Graham, Kristin, and others.

Niki's death was a wake-up call, and her tactics were too soft. She should've fought fire with fire from the start, leaving them no chance to fight back.

Mr. Frost's endgame should be dying in jail, but he might still struggle before that. If he can't get back at Izabella, he will vent all his frustration on Graham, who let the cat out of the bag. As for Kristin, Izabella planned to make her go through what Niki did.

Kristin seemed to enjoy destroying other people's precious things. So, if she got a taste of her own medicine, wasn't it just karma?

Mr. Frost grimly admitted, "I underestimated Izabella."

Until five minutes ago, he thought Izabella was a pushover, that even if she fought back with all she had, it'd be futile. The company could use her, scapegoat her, milk her dry. "No worries, just be more careful next time. This is just the beginning."

After the call was ended, Mr. Frost sat slumped on the floor like a boneless frog, unable to stand up, looking at the varying expressions of the people in the room.

Some looked scared, some uneasy, some terrified. His mind was buzzing, and their expressions turned into mockery. He struggled to stand up and knocked over the vase on the table. "Get out, all of you!"

No one moved. The person in front hesitated before asking, "Mr. Frost, since the company's been bought, who's going to pay our salaries? It's almost the end of the month, and we can't work for free, right?" "Pay you? Dream on! All of you, get out!" Mr. Frost couldn't control his rage, and he was like a helpless madman. The sound of a siren came, and his red face turned white.

The vice president reacted quickly, running out like a greased lightning, pushing people in front of him, but they were stopped by the cops before they could escape.

As for Mr. Frost, he had given up completely, watching the police handcuff him.

"Please come with us to assist in the investigation." Almost all the company employees were taken away, about fifty or sixty people, and it was a grand scene with journalists broadcasting live outside. From then on, the boss of X Entertainment was replaced, becoming the first company Izabella acquired, achieving a stunning victory.

This event caught the attention of the business world, and the Maple Group easily acquired a multi-million dollar entertainment company in a short time.
