Chapter 726 Isabelle had long been accustomed to being looked at this way. She gave a cold expression and said, "Since you're here, | 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough 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! | don't agree!" "There is a rule that once he goes to jail and as long as | agree, we can dissolve our marriage. | 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 | want a divorce, but | also want to work. | 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 | be fired?" Isabelle said coldly.

"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?
