She was on the verge of getting married. She was about to become Neil’s wife!
At this moment, Lise desperately wished she could rid herself of Zoey. If only she had dealt with the problem when she had the chance, Zoey wouldn’t be causing trouble now.
Lise had braced herself for Katelyn to cause a scene. Surprisingly, it was Zoey who disrupted the peace.
Neil’s expression hardened, his tone stern as he said, “Leave now, or face consequences you’re not prepared for!” With the presence of numerous media and business figures, he couldn’t risk any mishaps.
Carol sat at the table below, observing the scene with a stern expression. While she couldn’t have cared less about whether the wedding went smoothly, she would not tolerate the Wheeler family’s reputation being tarnished.
Zoey, undaunted, moved slightly closer. She said directly to Neil, “Mr. Wheeler, are you certain you want to marry someone so spiteful, someone who would even harm your grandmother?” Zoey’s accusation resonated like a shockwave through the crowd. Everyone wondered—what was Zoey implying?
A wave of panic washed over Lise. Did Zoey have some form of proof? No, that couldn’t be. She had carefully handled all the evidence, ensuring there was no way Zoey could trace it back to her.
Lise stepped forward, looking at Zoey with displeasure.
“Miss Powell, I’m not sure what I’ve done to offend you, but please, don’t ruin my wedding.”
Lise inwardly vowed that if Zoey thwarted her marriage today, she would ensure Zoey’s downfall.
In a subdued tone, Lise suggested, “Can we address whatever grievances you have after the ceremony?” She was struggling to control her emotions, desperate for the wedding to proceed.

Zoey dismissed Lise with a scornful laugh.
“So eager to secure a wealthy marriage? Do you really think you deserve it?” If not for Lise’s actions, Zoey wouldn’t be suffering as she was now. Everyone who had a hand in her current predicament would face consequences. Today, it was Lise’s turn; Katelyn would be next. There was no need to rush; she would deal with them one by one.
The crowd buzzed with unrest, stirred by Zoey’s insinuations, hinting at a hidden scandal involving Lise. The crowd was visibly stirred, with onlookers saying, “This wedding is so grand, yet here we are hearing about scandals. It’s just too thrilling! What could the scandal be?”
Within the Wheeler family, someone sneered, “Lise was merely a mistress who schemed her way into marrying Neil. Are we really shocked she’s surrounded by scandal?”
Lise’s reputation was already compromised. Now, hosting such a lavish wedding only served to embarrass the Wheeler family further.
Under the pressure, Lise’s composed demeanor began to falter. She pointed at Zoey and yelled furiously, “What are you blabbering about? I know Katelyn stopped supporting you, and you’re resentful, seeing others succeed where you’ve failed, but such reckless accusations could lead to legal action!”
Lise knew she couldn’t let Zoey continue, as it could genuinely jeopardize the wedding. She glanced instinctively toward Neil. Neil’s expression conveyed his irritation and displeasure.
