Chapter 728 Before even reaching Franklin, a nonchalant voice was heard saying, "Waylon, sounds like this guy needs to be taught a good lesson." The President's face immediately turned extremely unpleasant.
The anger in his chest was almost uncontrollable.
How could this woman be so outrageous? She had the nerve to act like this when he had been nothing but polite and respectful because of Franklin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf it weren't for Franklin bringing her here, he would have already ordered her out.
He looked at Sylvia with an icy expression. "What do you mean? He is still my son. You are disrespecting us too much.” In other words, she didn't even consider him as the President.
Sylvia lazily glanced at the President and spoke casually, "Oh, nothing. | just felt emotional when | heard the name Waylon." It was that simple! Waylon finally managed to relax his cold expression and speak up. He couldn't help but look at Sylvia with amazement! What a beautiful woman! That radiant face and noble temperament all over her body... when did they have such an amazing woman in high society? Why didn't he know about it? He never thought much about his own name before but now being told by such a beautiful woman that it wasn't very good made him feel embarrassed all of sudden.
Who wouldn't want to leave a good impression on such beauty? Isabelle felt slightly better hearing Sylvia mock the Deleon family father-son duo.
She walked straight up to Sylvia with a smile and called out softly, "Miss Andrews." She was pretty enough but always carried herself like an uptight heiress who couldn't let loose until now where she smiled ever so slightly which made her look like blooming lilies.
Sylvia glanced at Isabelle and patted her shoulder gently while saying, "Tomorrow is your first day of work; make sure you perform well." The President saw two women having harmonious interaction which only added more displeasure onto his face.
He asked sternly, "Do you know each other?" They actually knew each other; this must be because of this unruly woman who corrupted Isabelle. This woman clearly wasn't someone easy to deal with as she went against him everywhere! Franklin really didn't know how to educate women! Isabelle turned around towards the President while suppressing any emotions from earlier and then said blankly, "Miss Andrews saved my life." The President looked at Isabelle, who had just been all smiles moments ago, and suddenly felt like he was talking to a stranger.
He felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't really get angry though, after all, he was Isabelle’s father. Even though he considered her garbage, she did save his daughter's life.

Mertens, hello! Your name precedes you." Then he turned back to Franklin and said, "Mr Maskelyne, your new energy development for MI6 has really opened our eyes! And both of you are from H Rovirsa, so I'm sure you know each other?" His words were flawless.
The President finally started feeling a little better listening to this conversation.
After all, a son is always better than a daughter.
He suddenly felt proud again, saying, "Mr. Mertens, Mr. Maskelyne, this is my son, Waylon, who may be young but is respectful towards me." "Son? Shouldn't you call him stepson instead? Otherwise someone might think that he's your biological child!" Sylvia's cold voice interrupted before Franklin or Logan could say anything else.
She pushed Isabelle forward next to the President saying, "Take a good look at her; she's your real child.” The President turned green with anger while Deborah looked extremely upset as well wondering why this woman keeps making things difficult for her son? Her son graduated from an elite university; conducts himself properly in society unlike other spoiled children who cause trouble everywhere they go; he works hard every day... she thinks that her own son is outstanding! The President was also very angry but took a deep breath before speaking again, "Though Waylon is my stepson, I've always treated him as my own, especially because Waylon and | have a great relationship, and he shows me a lot of respect. Unlike my daughter who seems to overlook her father and stepmother, always looking to defy authority." Isabelle kept telling herself that it didn't matter if there wasn't any family love between them but... she still felt deeply hurt by what the President had just said.
She gritted her teeth against the pain in her heart and slowly spoke with a pale, pretty face. "There's also this kind of father who forces his daughter to marry into a terrible family, arranging a marriage for her and pushing his own daughter into a terrible marriage. He knows that his daughter is living in hell but doesn't care at all. Isn't it chilling?"
