Chapter 848 Mr. Foster Likes Me Now
Daisy was gasping for air as Brandon's grip tightened around her neck.
She bit her lip and managed to choke out, "Brandon!"
"What did I do to screw up your plans?"
"You took those photos and videos to use against Adeline, didn't you?"
Brandon's grip tightened even more at her words.
He glared at Daisy, fury blazing in his eyes. "You don't know a damn thing!"
"Do you have any idea what kind of mess your reckless actions have caused?"
"If we hadn't released those photos and videos, Adeline would have been forced to unfreeze some of her assets to save face for the Phoebe family and help us out of this mess!"
"But now that everything's out in the open, the whole city knows. Tell me, how am I supposed to get Adeline to give us any money now?"
His eyes were bloodshot with rage as he squeezed her neck harder. "Answer me!"
Daisy felt like she was about to die.
But she couldn't argue with Brandon's words.
She had already seen the worst-case scenario he mentioned play out in the courtyard earlier.
Adeline refused to unfreeze her assets. She wouldn't give them a single cent!
Thinking of this, Daisy bit her lip. "We still have our last card to play."
"We still have Patty!"
Mentioning Patty only made Brandon angrier.
"How dare you bring up Patty?"
"When Randy brought Patty back, how did you take care of her?"
"Why did the DNA test show that Patty isn't Jasper's daughter?"
"She's not even Adeline's biological child!"
"I asked Randy, and he said the child he brought back was definitely Adeline and Jasper's."
"So she must have been switched at the hospital."
"This is all your fault!"
If it weren't for Daisy, he wouldn't be left with nothing to use against Adeline!
His words left Daisy in shock.
How could this be?
Patty wasn't Adeline and Jasper's child?
Then where was their real child?
As she pondered this, Brandon's grip on her neck tightened.
Daisy struggled desperately but couldn't break free.
She even suspected that Brandon really intended to strangle her to death!
In a panic, she reached out and grabbed a vase from the nightstand, smashing it against Brandon's head.
Blood streamed down from his head, staining his eyes red.
He let go of her neck, clutching his head and gritting his teeth. "Daisy!"
"You want to die!"
"No, you want to die!"
Daisy scrambled off the bed, gasping for air. "You almost strangled me!"
Taking a deep breath, she surprisingly calmed down. "Don't you have spies in Radiance Springs? Have them get some DNA samples from Adeline's younger daughter, Lauren."
Brandon frowned at her. "What are you planning?"
"Look at you, all flustered."
She rubbed her neck and sneered. "I managed to fool Howard and Zara with Molly's DNA. Now I can use Lauren's DNA to fool Adeline and Jasper!"
"Then Patty will still be Adeline and Jasper's child."
"We just need to use Patty to get what we want."
"By the time Jasper and Adeline realize something's wrong, it will be too late."
Her words made Brandon narrow his eyes.
Though Daisy often seemed like an idiot to him, she had a point this time.
Brandon called for a servant to tend to his wound while he contacted his spies in Radiance Springs.
After making all the arrangements, he glanced coldly at the red marks on Daisy's neck. "Don't wear a necklace to the wedding tonight. Use a ribbon to cover it up."
The red marks were too obvious to be concealed with makeup.
Daisy rolled her eyes at him and turned back to the bed. "Got it!"
As long as the wedding went smoothly and the Phoebe Group saw her triumph and Adeline's downfall, it didn't matter if she wore a necklace or not!
In a small courtyard on the outskirts of town, Adeline frowned at Oliver.
"You want me to attend Daisy and Brandon's wedding tonight?"
"Yeah."
Oliver poured himself a cup of coffee and spoke seriously. "Not only do you need to attend, but you also need to dress beautifully and elegantly."
"I want you to be the most dazzling woman tonight."
Adeline almost laughed.
"Oliver, the main character tonight is Daisy."
At Daisy and Brandon's wedding, dressing up and becoming the most dazzling woman? Did he think she hadn't been gossiped about enough?
The relationship between her, Daisy, and Brandon was already complicated. If she showed up all dressed up...
"You're also a main character tonight."
Oliver looked steadily at Adeline. "Don't forget, Howard said he would publicly announce your expulsion from the Phoebe family after the wedding."
"If you don't attend, you'll be kicked out of the Phoebe family without any dignity."
He set down his coffee cup and smiled. "You're my sister. Even if you leave the Phoebe family, you should leave with your head held high."
Adeline pressed her lips together and was silent for a moment.
"Alright."
After a while, she looked up and smiled at Oliver. "You're right."
"Even if I leave the Phoebe family, I'll do it with dignity and grace."
Since she knew Howard planned to announce her expulsion tonight, she had to be there.
Some things had to be faced head-on.
Oliver sighed in relief and patted her shoulder.
After deciding to attend the wedding, Adeline had lunch and then went with Oliver to the city center.
She needed to find a suitable dress for the evening.
"Why do I keep running into you?"
"Yesterday you were kicked out of Mr. Foster's house, and today you're with someone else?"
As Adeline and Oliver were picking out dresses, a sharp, mocking voice rang out.
The voice was familiar.
Adeline frowned and looked over.
Standing in front of her was the haughty Giselle, flanked by a few lackeys.
Giselle sneered at Adeline. "I thought you found a new sugar daddy, but it's just the guy who picked you up from the police station."
Her words made Oliver frown.
Before he could speak, Adeline squeezed his arm to stop him.
"Giselle, we meet again."
She smiled at Giselle. "Are you here to pick out a dress too?"
Giselle sneered and lifted her chin proudly. "Of course!"
"Mr. Foster said he wants me to accompany him to Mr. Brandon Torres and Ms. Daisy Phoebe's wedding tonight!"
She glanced disdainfully at Adeline. "Country bumpkin, you don't stand a chance!"
"Mr. Foster likes me now!"
