Chapter 705 Isabella, this is your mom Penelope was not biased towards him at all; she was completely siding with Nicole! Even if he couldn't win the argument, he wanted to save his face.
Brent was just about to say something when he felt a cold, sharp gaze sweep over him.
He looked over and met Kelvin's eyes, immediately shivering and lowering his head, not daring to say another word.
With Kelvin's support, who would dare act out in front of Penelope? That was the strongest backing in LA! Penelope was the only one who could rely on it! "Brent, stop struggling. Just sign the divorce papers honestly to avoid a messy court battle," Penelope said. "You won't get anything as you married Nicole with nothing!" What did Brent have back then? He was just a poor boy! "No way!" Debra immediately protested. "Even if they divorce, the marital assets have to be divided! How can Brent leave with nothing?" If Brent had no money, why would she stay with him? She was just protecting her own rights! She couldn't live a hard life! Penelope asked, "What marital assets does Brent have? Everything he has was provided by Nicole and her family." "He still gets half!" Debra said. "If it comes to a court battle, so be it. Who's afraid?" "Debra, this divorce case will be handled by the Davis Group's top legal team. Our chances of winning are very slim." "We still have to fight! Are we just going to give up?" Penelope smiled. "You can appeal, and I'll see it through to the end. But by then, don't expect to get a single cent from us. If we settle this privately, I might consider giving a little." Brent asked, "Penelope, how do you want to settle this privately?" "Get a divorce, move out, and take your mistress with you. Leave LA and never cback." "What about Isabella?" Brent was still greedy.
Nicole was determined to divorce, and Penelope supported her, so the marriage was over.

Penelope saw through his thoughts. "You still want a family reunion?" "Yes!" Debra responded strongly. "We want both the money and the people! Since things have cto this, we should get everything we deserve!" "Alright." To their surprise, Penelope agreed immediately. "You can have the Mitchell group if you want." Her sudden concession left Brent and Debra stunned.
Debra snorted. "Really? No joking?" "Sure." Debra was excited; if they got the company, they'd have money! Fortunately, Brent had ssense and sighed. "The Mitchell group is on the brink of collapse, with debts everywhere and no business partners. Even if I took over, I'd just inherit a huge debt. I can't handle it." Only Penelope could handle it.
In her hands, the Mitchell group would get investment and support from the Davis Group, gradually reviving and becoming bigger than before! "We can handle it!" Debra said with a smile. "Brent, don't forget we have Mr. Walker as our son-in-law!" She turned to Brandon. "Mr. Walker, don't you agree? With your wealth and connections, if Isabella is with you, you two can run the Mitchell group together. How great would that be!" Brandon didn't even bother to respond Debra.
He had emphasized several times that he and Isabella had long since broken off their engagement. But Debra chose to ignore it! "With who?" At this moment, Isabella's voice cfrom the doorway. "What are you talking about?" She walked in slowly.
Perhaps because she hadn't had an outburst, Isabella looked a bit better, with no new injuries.
Debra quickly turned to look.
"Isabella!" she exclaimed joyfully, running towards Isabella. "I finally get to see you!" Isabella looked at her with a very cold expression. "Who are you?" Debra wiped her tears. "Who do I look like? You've seenbefore, remember?" "I don't remember. I've never seen you." "At your eighteenth birthday party, held at a hotel. I was there, but I wasn't qualified to enter the main hall, so I watched you from afar as you walked past me," Debra said. "And a few other times, when you were at gatherings with sother ladies, I booked a spot nearby."

But Isabella remained indifferent. "So what? I have no impression of you." Back then, Isabella was so glamorous; why would she care about Debra? She knew all the famous ladies and wives in LA.
Those she didn't know were people without status or worth, not worth her tto remember their faces or names.

So even if they had met several times, Isabella never paid attention! "Isabella!" Brent said. "This is your biological mom!" Debra looked at her with a face full of love and hope. "Isabella, I'm your mom." Isabella's expression remained unchanged.
She quietly looked at Debra, as if she were examining a stranger.
Debra was also examining her.
"My poor daughter, how did you end up with so many injuries? How much suffering have you endured? Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight. The last tI saw you from afar, you didn't look like this. Don't worry, Isabella, even if it costsmy life, I'll save you!" Isabella took a step back, distancing herself from Debra.
Debra was stunned. "Isabella."
"So you're my mom." Isabella laughed. "The one who was a mistress, shamelessly got pregnant before marriage, gave birth to me, and then sentto the Mitchell family as an adopted daughter. The one who made it seem like I had everything, but in the end, I got nothing." "How can you say that about me?" "Did I say anything wrong?"
