Chapter 852 It Was Me
"Do you really believe that?"
"These rich folks, they act all high and mighty, but behind closed doors, they're wilder than anyone!"
"Yeah, look at these guys, there must be twenty or thirty of them, right?"
The room buzzed with murmurs and whispers.
On stage, Daisy clutched the knife in her hand, her entire body stiff as a board.
Brandon squinted, releasing Daisy's hand and lowering his voice.
"What's up with these people?"
Daisy was too nervous to say a word.
What could she say?
These guys were right.
Every time she hooked up with a man, she'd promise him that if he performed well, she'd get him into the Phoebe Group.
The Phoebe Group's status in Oceancrest City was legendary.
So these men, no matter their background, would go all out, showing off their skills after hearing Daisy's promise.
And Daisy, after a one-night stand, would often vanish, looking for her next target.
The ones who weren't too troublesome would give up after a few days, while the persistent ones she'd either pay off or have beaten up by hired thugs.
She had lived this way for years, thoroughly enjoying it.
But she never expected...
She never expected that on her wedding day, these men would band together and crash the event!
Thinking about this, she bit her lip and lowered her voice.
"Brandon, let me explain, I..."
At that moment, Brandon's assistant rushed onto the stage, whispering urgently in his ear.
Brandon's eyes widened in shock!
Simultaneously, everyone's phones in the room started ringing.
People looked down at their screens.
"The Torres Group's funding chain has collapsed!"
"The Torres Group's stock has plummeted by 2000%!"
"The Torres Group is bankrupt!"
Words of shock and disbelief echoed throughout the venue.
Adeline instinctively glanced at Oliver.
Oliver was also looking at his phone.
Feeling Adeline's gaze, he looked up, his eyes serious.
"The Torres family is really going bankrupt."
He then glanced at a distant corner.
Jasper was still elegantly holding his wine glass, sipping and observing everyone's reactions.
Feeling Oliver's gaze, Jasper raised his glass, making a toast gesture towards Oliver.
Oliver's eyes narrowed sharply.
Jasper was truly meticulous and ruthless.
He had timed his attack on the Torres family perfectly, ensuring the worst news hit at this exact moment.
If it weren't for the fact that Oliver had brought these men here tonight, he would have thought Jasper orchestrated everything.
The timing was just too perfect.
Thinking this, Oliver considered another matter.
If the Torres family went bankrupt, how much would the Phoebe family, which had always closely collaborated with them, be affected?
Adeline glanced at Oliver, then at Jasper, finally lowering her head and checking the time.
Seven o'clock.
She remembered hearing on the phone last night that Jasper's company executives planned to release the news at exactly seven.
The timing was spot on, not a minute more, not a minute less.
On stage.
Daisy and Brandon's faces were now paler than the white backdrop behind them!
Daisy bit her lip and looked at Brandon, "What's wrong?"
"Too late."
Brandon gritted his teeth, glaring at Daisy.
"If it weren't for you screwing up my plans today, I would've already made Adeline cough up the money to fix this!"
The funding gap was too massive to cover now!
If they didn't fill this gap within an hour, the Torres family would really go under!
He bit his lip, turning his gaze to Adeline in the audience.
She was still sitting on the couch, watching the chaos unfold like it had nothing to do with her!
Brandon knew that approaching Adeline now would be pointless.
The only option left was to get Howard involved.
On one hand, he needed to kick Adeline out of the Phoebe family to stabilize the shareholders' confidence, and on the other, he needed the Phoebe family to use all their assets to help the Torres family!
Otherwise, with his operations over the past six months, the Phoebe family and the Torres family were completely intertwined. If the Torres family went bankrupt, the Phoebe family would suffer greatly too!
Thinking this, he turned to look at Howard, who was quietly sitting in the corner.
Tonight, the most respected person here was Howard.
With things in such chaos, only Howard could restore order.
Feeling Brandon's gaze, Howard smirked and slowly stood up.
He glanced indifferently at the men causing the commotion.
"Everyone, please calm down. I have an important announcement to make."
He then looked at the uninvited guests at the wedding entrance.
"Security, please escort these people out."
The leading man wasn't having it.
"Why should we leave!"
"We're here to demand an explanation from Daisy of the Phoebe family. If she doesn't give us a satisfactory answer today, we're not leaving!"
Daisy frowned, frustrated.
"What kind of satisfactory answer do you want?"
"I may have slept with each of you, but I'm married now. You're all in the past. Why crash my wedding!"
Her words caused an uproar.
Brandon's face turned ashen!
This idiot!
They could have claimed these men were paid to disrupt the event, but Daisy outright admitted she had slept with them all!
Listening to the murmurs in the room, Daisy's face also turned pale.
She bit her lip, quickly trying to backtrack.
"I didn't sleep with any of you!"
"You're slandering me!"
These words played right into the men's hands.
The leading man laughed, "Daisy, you say you didn't sleep with us?"
He pressed a button on a remote.
The screen that had been displaying Daisy and Brandon's wedding photos suddenly showed Daisy's bed photos!
Each one showed her naked, entangled with different men.
Almost every photo had a different man, but the woman was always Daisy!
Guests, eager for gossip, compared the photos and found they matched the men causing the commotion!
On stage, Daisy stared at the photos, her pupils dilated, frozen as if struck by lightning.
These photos were all taken secretly.
Every encounter she had with a man over the years was documented.
Some dated back five years.
She bit her lip.
These photos were clearly premeditated.
Someone had been secretly documenting her private life for five years!
This wasn't Adeline or Jasper's doing, nor could it be Brandon.
Instinctively, she looked at Oliver in the audience.
Their eyes met, and Oliver smiled, mouthing words silently.
Daisy knew exactly what he said.
'It was me.'
