Chapter 356: To Leave With Nothing

"I want to go too, but making it public now might only make things worse! It's all his fault—he's so careless. I told him to prepare in advance, but he…" Isabella frowned. Their conversation seemed odd.

Alexander stepped back, pulling Isabella with him to prevent others from overhearing. "Bella, that woman and those children are Benett's mistress and illegitimate children," he confirmed.

Isabella was stunned. Alexander calmly explained, "When Benett approached me about the project, I noticed something wrong with his new company's structure. It seemed he was profiting at Sarah's expense through shady asset dealings. I investigated, and…"

"And you discovered he had a mistress and several children with her?" Isabella was astounded. "Your gossiping skills rival a system!"

Quinn nodded. "I just received information about them today."

Isabella's excitement grew. "So, what should we do?"

Alexander frowned. "I intend to tell Sarah, but the timing is crucial. If they behave themselves, we'll wait until she's overcome this hurdle. We can't keep delivering blows." Isabella agreed.

"But if they cause trouble, we'll tell Sarah immediately, or else…"

Suddenly, Sloane's phone rang. She answered, "Mom, how is Benett?" Isabella paused. Is she calling Vera "Mom"?

"What? You're asking Benett for a divorce now?" Isabella and Alexander were shocked. Asking for a divorce on his deathbed? What's going on? Is this Benett's parents' idea? Should we expose his mistress and children? They were at a loss. Isabella considered using the Gossip System when Sloane's voice changed, becoming more excited. A smile appeared on her face.

"All right, we'll cooperate… But Mom, do we really not need to see Benett one last time? We really can't bear to let go of Benett, boohoo…" Despite her beaming face, she hung up, looking upset.

"Sloane, what's going on?" her brother asked anxiously.

Sloane pressed her lips together, motioning the children away before speaking to Carlos. "At least Benett had the decency to sort things out before his death. He planned to divorce Sarah, leaving her with nothing but the clothes on her back."

"What?" her brother exclaimed. "How is that possible?" Isabella and Alexander were equally dumbfounded.

"He's dying; how is it not possible? Besides shared assets, Sarah has significant pre-marital wealth. The Quirk family assets are untouchable, but she could leave everything else to Benett," her brother argued. "She couldn't have agreed, could she?"

"Benett and his parents plan to persuade Sarah that the divorce is just a legal procedure to transfer assets to him. After Benett's death, the inheritance goes to his parents. It's a way to ensure they're not left without support."

"Knowing Sarah, she'll swear to care for them, maybe even sign a contract," her brother said, confused.

Sloane explained, "But Benett worried about her remarrying and having more children. She can't guarantee that won't happen, and the Quirk family won't care about these assets. Leaving them to his parents won't hurt. They promised their granddaughter would inherit eventually. It's for their peace of mind."
