Chapter 736

Mr. Bentley glared at him, his face darkened with anger and his chestfilled with rage. His breathing was heavy and he was so angry that hehad lost all sense of reason.

"She's a woman who cheated and had an affair, and gave birth to anillegitimate child. The Bentley family has already been more thangenerous in providing for her! You're going too far by trying tocompletely destroy us!"

“You should be grateful that we didn't wipe her out, that we didn'tstrangle that illegitimate child!"

Isabelle listened to Mr. Bentley's constant cursing and insults, her facebecoming increasingly unpleasant.

She wished she could cover her ears and not listen!

Her daughter has a father, and she is not illegitimate.

“Then you should also be grateful to me for making your company gobankrupt earlier, otherwise how could you feel this bone-chilling pain?"Darius looked at Mr. Bentley with a half-smile on his face as he turnedred with anger, "And one more thing, my daughter has a father and isnot a bastard.”

“If I hear you say these words again, don't blame me for showing nomercy." The man's voice was cold and exuded a strong aura.

Mr. Bentley's face turned red and then blue, "You... you..."

He choked on his words, and his body slumped backward heavily.Mrs. Bentley quickly crawled over from the ground to help him, saying,"Honey..."

"Someone, please, help! Save my husband!" She knelt on the ground,looking utterly disheveled. It was a stark contrast to how she had oncearrogantly humiliated and berated Isabelle.

She was now as miserable and embarrassed as she could be.

The President's back was covered in cold sweat.

Darius was definitely a tough character.

It was rumored that SouthStar Airlines and NorthWind Airlines werefierce competitors, and the two airlines often competed fiercely witheach other. The two company CEOs could hardly stand each other,wishing they could engage in a life-or-death battle.

Now it seemed that the rumors were completely false.

They got along very well, as evidenced by the familiar interactionsbetween Franklin and Darius. They were clearly good buddies.

All outsiders had been deceived.

He pondered for a while before figuring out what he needed to do now.He trembled, pointing at the collapsed Mr. Bentley and Mrs. Bentley,"Security, guards! Get rid of these trash for me!"

A well-trained team of security guards immediately rushed over andlifted the Bentleys off the ground.

Mrs. Bentley cried out loudly, "No... Mr. President, they're all badpeople.”

“They ruined our family!"

Her voice faded, and the entire banquet hall fell into an eerie silence.No one dared to speak, no one dared to utter a word.

The atmosphere was bizarre and frightening.

The silence made it seem as though everyone present was nothingmore than puppets, and only occasional breaths could be heard.

After a while, Sylvia couldn't help but chuckle, “What a show."

Even when she spoke up, no one dared to casually respond.

It was Franklin who spoke calmly, "Are you tired of watching the show?If you're tired, we can go back."

"Sure!" Sylvia nodded, then turned to Darius, "Mr. Foster, care to joinus?"

Darius finally shifted his gaze to Sylvia. She was a stunning woman,and this was the legendary Mrs. Maskelyne? He had heard she hadmany aliases.

A woman who could control Franklin must be extraordinary.

He nodded, "Sylvia's command, I can't refuse.”

As soon as he mentioned Sylvia's name, Sylvia nearly tripped and fell.This was too... unexpected!

He actually called her Sylvia?

Seeing her usual calm demeanor waver, Franklin couldn't help butplayfully curl his lips, "What? Feeling shy?"

"Shy my foot!" Sylvia raised her hand and pinched his waist.

Isabelle was led by Darius's large hand and followed the man'sfootsteps, feeling a bit dazed. As she turned, the President quicklywalked up to her and blocked her path.

“Isabelle, can I have a word with you?"

Isabelle paused, looking at the middle-aged man in front of her. Thesepast years, he seemed to have aged significantly, perhaps due tooverwork or maybe because of the harsh blow today. He appearedmuch older.

She looked at him calmly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing her attitude, the President suppressed his displeasure andoffered what he thought was a loving smile, "These years, I am reallysorry for you, Isabelle. I have been too foolish, and I promise to make itup to you and Bethany. I've been a neglectful father.”

If it weren't for Darius, he would never have uttered this apology.

He thought Isabelle would be grateful, that she would be content.However, Isabelle only gave him a faint glance and said, "I accept yourapology, but... do you really want to make it up to me? Or should wejust forget about it? Your heart is only filled with thoughts of yourstepson. What am I to you? In my heart, my father has long beengone."
