Chapter 726

Isabelle had long been accustomed to being looked at this way. She

gave a cold expression and said, "Since you're here, I have something

to notify all of you.”

"What?" Mrs. Bentley frowned and stared at her.

"My marriage with Tucker is null and void from today onwards!" Isabelle

stood straight in place, her slender neck slightly raised like a lone swan

fighting alone.

She hated the Bentley family, she hated everyone who had hurt her.

Including her father!

As the child of the President, there was always a rule that if either the

son-in-law or daughter-in-law committed a crime, their marriage would

automatically be invalidated once they were imprisoned if their spouse

wanted to end it.

Although this rule existed for many years, there had only been cases

where the President's son or daughter-in-law got divorced but never

before had there been cases where his daughter abandoned her

husband.

Everyone was in an uproar.

"Oh my god! How can women take the initiative to ask for a divorce?"

"Here we only give men the right to initiate divorce."

“That's right... If she gets divorced, who will dare marry her? Why is she

so fierce? No wonder she didn't live well."

"She must be too aggressive."

Isabelle heard these various whispers from those present constantly

ringing in her ears but it seemed as though she hadn't heard any of

them at all.

The President angrily raised his hand towards Isabelle's face and

slapped it hard.

“You jinx! Try asking for a divorce today! I don't agree!"

"There is a rule that once he goes to jail and as long as I agree, we can

dissolve our marriage. I am dissolving our marriage now and everyone

here is witness!"

Her face quickly became swollen on one side after being hit but it

seemed like she felt nothing at all; pain had already left her body long

ago.

She numbly looked at the President without any emotions in those

beautiful eyes, just quietly looking at him like he was some stranger.

She wasn't even seeking their approval, but just notifying them!

Recently Isabelle has matured quite significantly inside Athena Society.

She knew she could never depend on anyone else. She was

determined to stand on her own, to become a strong individual who

controlled her own destiny.

Although deep down inside, Isabella knew what kind of reaction the

President would have given beforehand, sadness lingered within

herself. "He never shows any tenderness towards me, not even a little

bit."

“You're out of your mind! Who do you think you are? You don't deserve

to get divorced!" The President's chest heaved with anger, feeling

utterly embarrassed.

How could he have such a rebellious daughter?

“I do deserve it! I'm an independent person too!" Isabelle stared at the

President with her dark eyes, unblinking. “Not only do I want a divorce,

but I also want to work. I want to support myself and fulfill my own life's

value."

“You dare work? As the daughter of the President, how can you go to

work?" The President became even more furious upon hearing this.

"Women need men to support them! Who would hire you? I'll make

sure your employer fires you immediately!"

The director of the TV station trembled as he stood up and spoke,

"Miss Deleon applied for our anchor position yesterday. She is highly

professional and capable of being a news anchor..."

"Fire her! Right now!" The President roared in anger, feeling challenged

by his damned daughter in front of so many guests.

How could he tolerate this humiliation?

"I earn my living through my own abilities and hard work. Why should I

be fired?" Isabelle said coldly.

"You shameless woman! How dare you become an anchor?! And why

did you choose such an attention-seeking job?" The President pointed

at Isabelle furiously. "Get someone here and tie her up for me before

sending her back to the Bentley family where she belongs.”

"Mr. President, isn't that going too far?" Suddenly, a clear voice rang

out from the entrance of the banquet hall.

Everyone couldn't help but look over curiously when they heard this

beautiful voice; they saw a striking man and woman walking in together.

The man wore a black suit that accentuated his tall figure; his thin lips

complemented his straight nose bridge while narrow eyes adorned his

handsome face, making almost every woman present blush

uncontrollably as they tried their best not to stare too much.

A woman's arm was wrapped around his.

As their gazes followed the arm, they saw a beautiful and elegant

woman. She was dressed in a light purple evening gown that hugged

her curves perfectly, making her even more graceful and alluring. The

purple diamond necklace around her neck sparkled under the lights,

catching everyone's attention.

Once they got a good look at her face, they couldn't help but hold their

breath. She was stunning! Her features were delicate and flawless,

especially those almond-shaped eyes that shone like stars.

Is that really her speaking?
