From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 723 Brandon Felt Penelope Was Very Unfamiliar "You and Brent teamed up?" A sudden realization hit Penelope. "Did you two conspire to kidnap me?" Debra lowered her head, stammering, "I, this... back then..." She was still considering. Admit it? She might get the money and leave LA with Brent, securing her future. Not admit it? Kelvin was so capable, could he really find evidence? Debra's heart was in turmoil, battling within. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said directly, "The incident of your disappearance back then..." Suddenly, at that moment, the door opened. Penelope and Debra looked up simultaneously.

They saw Brandon standing at the door, his hands hanging by his sides, looking haggard, with bloodshot eyes and an expressionless face.

"Mr. Walker!" Debra ran over quickly as soon as she saw him, "You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for so long. Mr. Walker, what should I do? Brent needs a stent for his heart, needs surgery money, where do I have the money? It was all your money you advanced!" "Penelope refuses to pay and keeps threatening me, what should I do? I might as well die! From start to finish, you've been the one helping, you've been the one stepping up, and she, as a daughter, has completely washed her hands of it!" Debra cried miserably, as if someone had bullied her.

Brandon ignored her and just looked at Penelope. "Cout for a moment." Penelope replied, "Okay." "Mr. Walker! Mr. Walker!" Debra grabbed him, "What should I do?" "I will cover all of Uncle Brent's hospital expenses." Debra was overjoyed. "Thank you! Mr. Walker, you're so righteous!" As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Penelope. With Brandon around, she had nothing to worry about! Penelope said nothing and walked straight out.

In the hallway.

Brandon and Penelope stood facing each other.

"You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?" Penelope asked, "You don't actually need to worry about the Mitchell family's matters." "Penelope, do you think I'm meddling?" Penelope didn't expect Brandon to retort like that and was momentarily stunned. His tone seemed a bit off, a bit irritable, unlike his usual graceful demeanor.

"I didn't mean that." She explained softly, "I can understand you helping Isabella, but Brent and Debra don't deserve it." Brandon sneered, "Yeah, you don't care about your biological father, so why should I, an outsider, interfere?" "I never considered you an outsider." "Penelope, I have my own sense of duty and righteousness. To you, Uncle Brent may not be a good father, but to me, he has helpeda lot." Brent was very satisfied with and appreciated Brandon. So, in the business world, he often took care of Brandon. Whenever he had connections or resources, the first person he thought of was Brandon, supporting and nurturing him in every way.

In Brent's mind, Brandon was the future son-in-law. They were like family; he had long regarded Brandon as one of his own, always thinking of him when there were benefits.

Everyone in LA knew this, so they all valued Brandon highly. All along, Brent had been kind to him. So, Brandon wouldn't stand by and do nothing now.

"Alright, I understand." Penelope nodded, "You have your sense of duty, and I have my principles." "Penelope, what are your principles?" Brandon asked, "Is it 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend them; if people offend me, I will surely offend them'?" "Yes." Brandon looked at her. "So, in the entire Mitchell family, you only care about Mrs. Mitchell's opinions and feelings. Everyone else has hurt you, and you want to get back at them one by one." "Yes. Only my mom truly lovesand considers me, without ever doing anything to wrong me." Brent cheated, betrayed the marriage, and kept a mistress. Isabella was even worse, not worth forgiving at all. Debra was an outsider, with no relation whatsoever! In the entire Mitchell family, only Nicole was a victim and the only one who stood by Penelope! "But Uncle Brent is your father. After he was sent to the hospital unconscious yesterday, they found out he has a heart problem and needs a stent surgery. Can you really just watch him die?" Penelope asked softly, "Brandon, are you lecturing me?" "I just feel that you're very unfamiliar. And..." "And what? Just say it." Brandon closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were full of disappointment.

"Penelope, I now see in you the scold-bloodedness, ruthlessness, and selfishness as Kelvin. The Penelope I used to know is not the one standing in front ofnow." He felt Penelope was very unfamiliar. He was starting to not recognize her. Penelope bit her lip slightly, then she smiled.

"Maybe you never really knew me." Penelope said, "Brandon, kindness should have an edge, not be bottomless weakness. If Brent had showneven a little bit of affection, I wouldn't treat him this way." She could smile kindly at a stranger. She could help a passerby with no relation. That was her kindness.

But not when someone bullied her, hurt her, and she silently endured it, repaying evil with good. Penelope was not that kind of person! Brandon replied, "Uncle Brent did many wrong things when he was young. You can hate him, blhim, and hold grudges against him. But now that he's so seriously ill, can you really be so heartless?"

"When he was with Debra, did he ever consider my mom's feelings? How could he be so heartless? When he brought Isabella into the Mitchell family and kept her by his side, deceiving my mom, how could he be so heartless? When he said he shouldn't have hadas a daughter, how could he be so heartless to say that?"

Brent really said it and did it. And Penelope could be soft-hearted. She had just wanted to use Brent's lack of ке hospital tees as an opportunity to pressure Debra hard, trying to get the truth about her childhood disappearance. Whether Debra admitted it or not, whether she got the answer she wanted or not, afterward, she would quietly go and pay the hospital fees.

Just like Brandon said, the similarities between Penelope and Kelvin. They did many things without saying anything, without needing understanding or recognition. As long as they were true to their hearts.

Penelope hated Brent; he ruined the whole family, but she didn't wish for his death. Penelope might act indifferent on the surface, but in the end, she would Soften. Unfortunately, Brandon didn't understand. The one who understood was Kelvin. He could see through Penelope's facade of strength; he would hold her and comfort her softly, kissing away her tears when she dreamed of Brent in the middle of the night.
