Chapter 801 Just Let Debra and Me Go
Debra glared viciously at Penelope. "After you fainted, I took you straight to the freight elevator, packed you in a cardboard box, and loaded you onto a truck, sneaking you out of the hotel without anyone noticing."
"As soon as the truck drove off, I saw a large number of security personnel gathering at the entrance, starting to seal off all the exits of the hotel."
"But what good did it do? You were already gone. Nicole lost her precious daughter!"
Debra leaned into Brent's arms, laughing maniacally.
"Brent, after doing all this, I felt so excited, so happy. But seeing you spend less time with me and more with Nicole because of Penelope's disappearance made me really sad! You still care about the daughter you had with her!"
"But it's too late! I took the opportunity to suggest letting Nicole raise Isabella. Although you hesitated, you couldn't resist my request and didn't want to see Isabella live a life in the shadows with me."
"That's how it is!" Debra shouted, "Brent, now you finally know the truth! You've seen my vicious side! You won't want me anymore, you must hate me, you can't wait to leave me, right?"
"I kidnapped your daughter, I schemed against you! I have no feelings for you! Only interests!"
Brent looked at her in anguish, opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.
Debra pressed on, "Say it! If you want to curse me, curse me! You can even hit me! Slap me a few times!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Brent's hand and slapped it against her own face!
Brent forcefully pulled his hand back. "Debra, I don't hit women."
"Hit me! I made such a big mistake, you can hit me! I not only deserve to be hit, I deserve to die!" Debra clung tightly to his wrist, "You can tell Penelope now that you knew nothing about this, that you were heartbroken over her disappearance! You can tell her you were sad and upset for a long time, and you can still be a father with a conscience!"
Debra pushed Brent towards Penelope.
With that push, she truly wanted to push Brent away from her and towards Penelope!
Let her bear all of this, she would take all the mistakes on.
Brent shouldn't be entangled with her anymore.
After all, he was Penelope's father. As long as he stayed in LA, wealth and luxury would still be his.
Why should he follow a woman like her and continue to live a hard life?
So, Debra seemed to be going crazy, but in reality, she was planning a way out for Brent!
"Debra, oh Debra." Brent sighed deeply, standing still.
He saw through her thoughts! He understood what she was thinking!
"Stop pushing me away. Living alone is meaningless," Brent said. "After all these years, we've managed to get by together, let's just continue to make do."
Debra suddenly quieted down, staring fixedly at Brent.
Brent looked at her too, not letting go.
Then Debra's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Even at this point, even with the chance, Brent still chose to stay with her.
Maybe he really did like her!
Debra asked, "Why do this? You don't have to settle for me, Brent, you have other choices!"
"Forget it, Debra, let's just leave it at that. I said before, we are the most suitable for each other, selfish and hypocritical."
Penelope watched the scene coldly.
She saw through Debra's intentions. Brent's reaction was also within her expectations.
The two of them were in sync, both thinking of each other.
"Are you done being moved? Is it enough?" Penelope spoke up, "Don't worry, you two will be together, for a lifetime, no one will separate you!"
Because she wouldn't accept Brent staying in LA!
Brent should stay with Debra, that was his choice when he was young! He had to continue to choose it even when he was old!
"Penelope, I'm sorry." Brent could only say these useless words, "Even though I didn't participate in what Debra did and didn't know about it, I am still at fault."
"Of course, you're at fault. You kept her, which made her jealous and gave her the opportunity! She is the mastermind, and you are the root cause of all this!"
If Brent hadn't been with Debra, none of this would have happened!
Now, Penelope finally understood the ins and outs of her disappearance all those years ago.
The truth Debra spoke matched exactly with the details Nicole had described about Penelope's disappearance.
Penelope's suspicions were correct! It really was Debra who did it!
"I've made too many mistakes, and I'm too ashamed to stay in LA to see you, let alone Nicole." Brent said, "Penelope, I don't want any money. Just let Debra and me go."
This was his only request now.
Penelope didn't answer, just looked at her biological father.
"I'm having heart surgery tomorrow." Brent's voice trembled a bit, "After the surgery, Debra and I will leave immediately, not a day will be delayed!"
At this point, Brent didn't dare to think about fighting for any company, assets, or shares.
Keeping his life and being able to take Debra away was already a blessing for him!
The wind blew more fiercely.
Overhead, dark clouds loomed.
At this rate, it was going to rain, and it would be a heavy storm.
Penelope's skirt fluttered, the black dress making her skin look even more delicate, colder, and more unapproachable.
But was she really unapproachable?
Wrong, Penelope was just too sentimental.
Seeing that Penelope still didn't speak, Brent asked again, "Penelope, what else are you dissatisfied with? Tell me, I'll do whatever you say, however you want me to admit my mistakes, I'll do it. In this life, I've let you and Nicole down, it's my fault!"
"Penelope, didn't you say that as long as I admitted it, you would let me go?" Debra asked, "You just wanted to trick me into telling the truth! People like you, who seem so righteous and moral, are actually filthy!"
Brent quickly pulled her back. At this point, it was better not to make things worse by saying such things!
