From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 724 Without You, I Wouldn't Be Who I Am Today

"Alright," Brandon said, "I understand what you're thinking, even if I don't support or agree with it. You hate the Mitchell family, you won't let go of Isabella, you didn't help Uncle Brent when he was in trouble. So, Penelope, what do you think of me now?"

He stared straight into Penelope's eyes, unblinking.

"Me, about you?"

"Yes, since we've known each other, Penelope, I haven't done anything to hurt you, right?" Brandon said, "In your heart, you consider me one of your own, don't you?" Penelope nodded. But Brandon laughed self-deprecatingly. "Don't lie to me, Penelope." She was puzzled. "Lie to you?"

"I've been standing at the door of the hospital room for quite a while," Brandon said, "I heard a lot of your conversation with Debra. Including the part where you said I can't compare to Kelvin, and that the Walker Corporation's market value can't compare to the Davis Group, because my company is only a third of Kelvin's."

Penelope was a bit surprised. He had been at the door so early but hadn't come in!

"Penelope, is that how you really feel?" Brandon asked, "So in your heart, I'm just a backup, far inferior to Kelvin?"

Penelope felt a wave of helplessness wash over her. "I said it, and you heard it, but," she explained, "I only said it to Debra on purpose. It doesn't represent my true feelings."

"Why would you say that to Debra?"

Penelope looked at him. "Because I suspect that my disappearance years ago is related to Debra, that she kidnapped me. So, I wanted to get her to talk. Brandon, that's the truth. I've never considered you a backup, nor have I looked down on you."

"When I was at my lowest, most desperate, and helpless, you were always by my side. I'll always remember that. I owe you so much, I can never repay it all, but I'll try my best. How could I ever look down on you? On the contrary, I'm most grateful that all these years, you've never looked down on me." In Penelope's heart, Brandon was someone special.
