Ignoring Lise’s outburst, Zoey interjected coldly, “Go ahead, call the police. It might enlighten everyone about your true character.”
Lise’s hands involuntarily tightened into fists.
Cursed, vindictive woman! What proof could she possibly have? Lise reassured herself repeatedly that the incriminating evidence had been destroyed, and Zoey couldn’t know anything. Or perhaps Zoey was merely stirring trouble without any real evidence? Lise considered this likely, and a wave of relief washed over her. But just then, Zoey clapped her hands sharply. At that instant, the doors to the banquet hall swung open.
All eyes turned toward the entrance, and the cameras were ready. Even Aimee was intrigued, leaning in to whisper to Katelyn, “What do you think Zoey is about to reveal?”
A notion briefly crossed Katelyn’s mind, sparking her curiosity. Could it actually be true?
As Katelyn shook her head in disbelief, a figure entered from outside, catching her off guard. She quickly exchanged a look with Vincent, both surprised.
Wasn’t this individual supposed to be elsewhere?
The person who had just arrived was none other than Calvin. With a carefree attitude, he swaggered in, accompanied by a group of his men, and dragging along another person who clearly seemed to have been through quite an ordeal.
Katelyn observed the disheveled man but couldn’t recognize him. His clothes were ragged, and he looked exhausted and unkempt, much like someone who might live on the streets.
What exactly was happening here?
Lise turned her glare toward Zoey, her tone cold and furious.

“Zoey, what are you implying by bringing these people here and threatening legal action at my wedding? Do you have no respect for the law?”
Neil’s face turned grim as he commanded, “Someone! Remove these intruders immediately!”
The Wheeler family’s security quickly moved to encircle Calvin and his group.
However, they appeared unfazed, even amused, as they laughed coldly.
“Mr. Wheeler, we’re actually here to help you. Isn’t it rather harsh to treat us like criminals?” Calvin sneered. The crowd was abuzz with whispers and guesses, all wondering about the unfolding drama.
Lise’s patience was quickly fraying, and her anxiety escalated as the situation dragged on. She felt like Zoey was holding onto a major revelation. She threw caution to the wind and yelled, “Remove these people immediately!”
The security guards quickly stepped in to intercept Calvin and his crew.
Calvin, known in the city as a minor criminal but not one to be easily cowed, said confidently to Neil, “Mr. Wheeler, your…”
“Your grandmother requires Spring Snow Herb for her operation, correct?”
At this, both Neil and Lise’s expressions shifted dramatically. Neil asked sharply, “What are you implying?”
