Chapter 855 Why Do You Want to Kill Me!
"I can't believe the Phoebe family took care of her for over twenty years, and she treated their real daughter like that!"
"It's awful! The Phoebe family is so kind-hearted. They waited until she was married and part of the Torres family before kicking her out."
"If it were me, I would've kicked her out the moment I found out what she did to my real daughter!"
The crowd was buzzing with gossip about Daisy being expelled from the Phoebe family.
Howard turned and glanced coldly at Daisy lying on the ground.
"Got anything to say about being kicked out of the Phoebe family?"
Daisy shrank back and shook her head.
She wasn't dumb enough to defend herself now!
She knew Howard was giving her a break.
If he spilled more details about how she framed Zara and Adeline, she wouldn't just be kicked out of the Phoebe family.
She'd be going to jail!
"Since you have no objections, I'll continue."
Howard took a deep breath and looked seriously at the crowd.
"Besides expelling Daisy from the Phoebe family, I have another announcement!"
He looked at Adeline in the audience.
"I am appointing my biological daughter, Adeline, as the new CEO of the Phoebe Group!"
As Howard's voice echoed, a spotlight shone directly on Adeline.
The blinding light made her squint for a moment.
When she finally opened her eyes, the audience erupted in applause!
Oliver, standing beside her, grabbed her hand and led her towards the stage.
Adeline was passively dragged by Oliver.
Under the spotlight, her face was pale.
She felt dizzy and her mind was spinning.
She whispered, "Oliver, what's going on?"
Oliver squinted.
"Didn't you say you needed to meet three conditions to access the frozen funds?"
"I talked to Howard, and he agreed."
Adeline was stunned.
She stared blankly at the back of Oliver's head.
"But..."
But she wasn't ready to be the CEO of the Phoebe Group!
Thinking of this, she instinctively looked towards Jasper.
He was still elegantly crossing his legs, leaning back on the sofa, sipping red wine.
His profile was handsome, with sharp lines, and his face showed no emotion, but the cold aura emanating from him was chilling.
Adeline was pulled onto the stage.
Howard continued to announce loudly.
"According to my daughter Adeline's request, while she becomes the CEO of the Phoebe Group, her brother Oliver will be the Vice President."
"I also announce that I will evenly distribute my shares in the Phoebe Group to my two children and retire completely."
"From now on, the Phoebe Group will be handed over to Adeline and Oliver."
After speaking, he pulled Adeline, who had just been dragged onto the stage by Oliver, to the microphone.
"Adeline, give your acceptance speech!"
Adeline was stunned.
Facing the sea of guests below, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
She had always been just a jewelry designer, never having done any leadership work.
Now she was suddenly inheriting such a large group.
She hadn't even prepared a draft for her acceptance speech!At that moment, Howard handed her a piece of paper and whispered, "Read it!"
Adeline, feeling like she had found a lifeline, quickly unfolded the paper and began to read aloud.
"Good evening, everyone. Today, I officially take over as the CEO of the Phoebe Group."
"Oliver and I will lead the Phoebe Group to a new beginning, giving the Phoebe Group a bright future!"
"We will fight our enemies relentlessly, not only to erase the shame the Phoebe family has suffered this year but also to make them pay!"
After reading the declaration with a blank mind, Adeline quickly found an excuse to leave the stage.
When she returned to her seat, she felt a chill on her back.
She frowned and instinctively turned around, only to find Jasper staring coldly at her.
That gaze was as icy as being thrown into a frozen lake.
Adeline was stunned, and her heart suddenly sank.
She roughly understood why Jasper was looking at her like that.
The current crisis between the Phoebe family and the Torres family was caused by Jasper.
By becoming the CEO of the Phoebe Group, she was now truly standing on the opposite side of Jasper, becoming his enemy.
And in her acceptance speech, she had said they would fight their enemies relentlessly and make them pay.
The enemy who needed to pay was Jasper!
Thinking of this, Adeline felt her scalp tingle.
She had never imagined that she would come to a wedding tonight and end up being pushed by the Phoebe family to stand against Jasper.
From now on, the struggle between the Phoebe family and the Foster family would be a direct confrontation between her and Jasper.
Thinking of this, Adeline couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
When Howard announced Daisy's expulsion, she thought she was finally valued by the Phoebe family and had a place in Howard's heart.
But Howard took this opportunity to make her the CEO of the Phoebe Group.
She had no business acumen and had never done business, and Howard knew that.
But he still made this decision.
She didn't believe that if she weren't Jasper's ex-wife, Howard would have entrusted the group to her based on her previous demands to Brandon.
He just wanted to use Jasper's feelings for her to save the Phoebe family.
Adeline closed her eyes and suddenly felt it hard to breathe.
She turned and, taking advantage of the crowd's distraction, sneaked out to the balcony for some air.
But she didn't expect to see Giselle there.
A severely injured Giselle.
At this moment, Giselle was lying in the corner of the balcony, sitting on the ground, her back against the railing, her stomach cut open, blood continuously flowing from her wound.
Adeline was so shocked by the scene that she couldn't make a sound.
She had never seen anything like this in her life.
Seeing someone approaching, Giselle weakly reached out to Adeline.
"Help me!"
"Pull me up!"
Adeline could tell that Giselle's condition was beyond saving, even if an ambulance arrived in time.
But she was still conscious and seemed to have something to say.
Adeline bit her lip, picked up her phone to notify security, and cautiously walked over.
But she didn't expect that the weak Giselle would suddenly grab her collar and choke her.
"Tell me, why did you kill me? Why did you kill me?"
