Chapter 85
"She knew she wasn't responsible. Clearly, this was a setup.
And the only one capable of doing all this was Olivia!
To deal with her, this woman didn't hesitate to ruin her own engagement ceremony - how ruthless!
""Who did this?!"" Helen asked angrily. ""What happened to the pictures on the memory card?""
The lobby manager rushed in. ""Madam, I'm sorry, but we just discovered that the memory card was switched.""
""Who would do such a thing?!"" Kathleen was angry too.
Sarah quickly said, ""Aunt, it's obvious that someone deliberately wanted to ruin the event.""
""You're right! We must find out who did it!""
""I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."" At this moment, Mona, who had been taking care of Grandma Brooks, stood up. ""I saw Miss Cassie going to the audiovisual room earlier.""
Cassie was stunned. Suddenly, everything became clear to her.
She didn't say a word, but Robert glared at her angrily. ""Did you do this?""
Olivia's face turned pale. ""Cassie, it's all right if you cause trouble at home, but how could you do this in front of so many people today?""
Helen also reproached her. ""You've crossed the line. You can't force feelings. Arthur has always treated you like a sister since childhood.""
Kathleen immediately explained, ""Please don't misunderstand. Arthur and Cassie were raised together. He's always seen her as a sister. However, love requires mutual feelings. He can't control someone else's thoughts. Am I right, Arthur?""
Arthur subconsciously glanced at Cassie, and she stared straight into his dark eyes.
He clenched his fists and said, ""I'm sorry, Cassie. In the past, it was my fault for causing you to misunderstand. I only saw you as a sister, and my feelings toward you were nothing more than sibling affection. It was not love.""
After he finished speaking, he saw a faint smile lingering on Cassie's lips. There were no ripples in her eyes, only calmness and mockery.
Arthur's heart trembled heavily. He was feeling extremely embarrassed and miserable. But he had no choice. Who allowed her to reveal such things in public?
Robert pointed arrogantly at Cassie and said, ""Apologize to Olivia and Arthur right now, or I'm done with a troublemaker like you!""
Cassie, on the other hand, applauded with a smile. She stood up and walked toward the stage. Taking advantage of the emcee's lack of attention, she snatched the microphone and said, ""Today's performance was splendid. I really can't guess who planned it. Perhaps it was Mr. Brooks, or maybe Mrs. Brooks, or even Miss Olivia...""
""What nonsense is this?"" Robert rushed over, wanting to take the microphone away, but Cassie reacted quickly and jumped onto David's table.
She suddenly spoke loudly, ""Mr. Brooks, why are you so afraid of me speaking a few more words? You forced me to come here today on my grandmother's birthday just to prove that I haven't been abused by the Brooks family and to salvage Height Company's reputation, right?
""I've come, but obviously, you forgot that it's your dear mother's birthday today. She's insane and paralyzed, yet none of you even mentioned her at this grand banquet. You truly are a filial son."" "
