Chapter 787 The Sooner the Wedding, the Better
The living room fell into a sudden, tense silence.
Adeline, cradled in Oliver's arms, stiffened slightly.
Who helped Daisy detox? Most of the Phoebe family's night staff were women, and the bodyguards were outside. Without someone calling them, they couldn't come in.
So, who detoxed Daisy? Adeline's mind flashed to Brandon, who had been pushed out in a wheelchair by Luke that morning.
She vaguely remembered stopping Brandon and asking if he had chased Jasper. She noticed a bite mark on Brandon's hand.
At the time, she wondered who had the guts to bite Brandon. But now, thinking back... she instinctively glanced at the love marks on Daisy's neck.
Who spent the night with Daisy? The answer was becoming clear.
But she and Oliver had seen Brandon outside earlier, while Howard hadn't. Howard coldly glanced at Daisy, who was kneeling on the floor, his eyes icy. "Tell me yourself. Don't make me investigate. If I find out, it'll be even more humiliating for you."
Daisy lowered her head, her nails digging into her palms. Her heart was filled with regret, all because of Oliver!
Her plan had been perfect!
She just needed to help Brandon and Adeline sleep together, causing Adeline to miscarry... then spread the word, making Jasper think the Phoebe family was responsible for Adeline's loss.
The more Jasper attacked the Phoebe family, the worse Howard, Oliver, and Adeline's relationship would become, making Howard more dependent on her, his obedient daughter.
Then, gaining Howard's trust and a huge favor from Brandon... the entire Phoebe family would eventually be hers!
But she hadn't expected Oliver to show up suddenly!
Now her plan had failed, and she had lost Howard's hard-earned trust.
At this moment, her only option was... Daisy took a deep breath and lowered her head even further. "It was Brandon who detoxed me..."
Howard's pupils dilated in shock!
The glass in his hand fell to the floor!
"Daisy, say that again. Who?"
Daisy lowered her voice, her head bowed even lower, "It was... Brandon."
She choked out, "I got drunk last night, and there were drugs in the alcohol, so I lost consciousness."
"But before I lost consciousness, I locked my room door to avoid making mistakes."
"According to our plan, Brandon was supposed to go to Adeline's room... When he couldn't find her, he should have left."
"But unexpectedly, he had his men break into my room and then..."
Daisy bit her lip, "I wasn't conscious last night, but Brandon was."
"I don't know why he would do this to me... When I woke up this morning, I was filled with regret and sadness, especially since he's Adeline's fiancé."
She looked up at Adeline with tear-filled eyes. "Can we pretend last night never happened? You can still get married as planned."
Adeline instinctively took a step back.
Though she had already guessed most of it, hearing Daisy say it out loud was still shocking.
Brandon... he actually...
At that moment, the gentle and refined image of Brandon in Adeline's mind was completely shattered.
She instinctively looked at Daisy, who had her head down.
Whether intentional or not, Daisy's collar, which had been covering the love marks on her neck, was now pulled down, revealing her collarbone and the marks on her neck.
Her sleeves were also rolled up, exposing large areas of marks on her arms.
From the red marks on her body, it was clear how intense last night's encounter with Brandon had been!
Howard covered his forehead with his hand.
He hadn't expected... while he was calmly sitting with Zara, holding her hand and talking...
Such a thing was happening in the Phoebe Mansion.
Closing his eyes, he weakly instructed the butler, Saul Pena. "Get the surveillance footage from last night!"
Saul nodded and quickly had someone retrieve the footage.
Soon, the footage was displayed.
On the screen, Brandon indeed ordered his men to break down Daisy's door, just as she had said.
Then Brandon entered, and his men left.
It wasn't until six in the morning that Brandon, adjusting his clothes, was pushed out of Daisy's room by his men.
The evidence was irrefutable.
Howard slumped on the sofa, his voice low and defeated, "Tell me, what do you young people want to do?"
Daisy's tone was remorseful, "It's all my fault... Father, if you're upset, you can punish me."
"Adeline, if you're hurt, you can hit me or scold me."
She kept her head down, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have targeted Adeline's baby, or thought that Brandon and Adeline getting married sooner would be good for both the Phoebe and Torres families."
Howard glanced at Daisy, a hint of pity in his eyes. "Daisy, even if you were wrong, you were the one who got hurt."
"You lost control last night, but Brandon didn't!"
Daisy kept her head down, "It's all my fault."
Her voice was filled with sadness and regret, but out of sight, her lips curled into a smile.
Last night, Brandon certainly wasn't in control.
But... Brandon would never admit he took a drug to enhance his performance out of fear!
Even if Brandon was called over, he could only admit he lost control.
Brandon, no matter how dissatisfied, could only admit it!
"No wonder Brandon was so eager to marry Adeline, saying he wanted to bring good luck to his mother."
Oliver sneered, "Turns out he just did something to betray Adeline and felt guilty, so he wanted to marry her quickly!"
He glanced at Howard sitting on the sofa. "Old man, what do you plan to do about this?"
Howard rubbed his temples, "This matter... I need to call Brandon and the Torres family elders to resolve it together."
An hour later.
Fiona and Brandon were already in the Phoebe Mansion's living room.
After hearing what happened, Fiona smirked coldly. "Adeline can be pregnant with another man's child and still get engaged to Brandon."
"She's not exactly pure, so why can't she accept Brandon sleeping with another woman?"
"In my opinion, the wedding should proceed as planned."
"The sooner, the better!"
