Chapter 662
Chadwick's bloodshot eyes locked on Richard, who cleared his throat and spoke. "Son, I have the
wedding gift ready."
After the disturbance Selene caused, Chadwick chose not to create a scene despite his anger.
"Now, you may kiss," the emcee said.
Mandy hesitated, unable to bring herself to do it. She had overheard the heated argument and
suspected that X might have taken Esther. Selene's wedding interruption was likely related to this.
Mandy felt cornered. She was unwilling to kiss Chadwick, so she feigned exhaustion during the kiss.
She collapsed toward Chadwick, accidentally revealing her face as she removed her veil.
Mandy's sudden unveiling triggered chaos at the wedding.
"Mandy!" the guests exclaimed.
Chadwick was standing beside her as the groom and glared at her. "Why are you here? Where's
Esther?!"
Mandy didn't admit her role in this plot. Instead, she looked at Chadwick with a face of innocence and
confusion. "Huh? Where's Bradley?"
Chadwick angrily dialed a number on his phone. "It's me! Put out a citywide search for Bradley
Warner!"
Mandy sought refuge in her mother's arms, fear evident in her voice as she exclaimed, "Mom, what do
we do?"
Richard's expression was dark. He instantly understood why Selene had tried to stop the wedding. She
already knew the bride marrying their son was actually his daughter!
Mandy had been hidden within the Pendleton family. Liliane's plastic surgery had allowed her to
assume Mandy's identity, and Chadwick had proudly acknowledged her true identity.
The upper echelons of Capitus' society were well aware that Chadwick had a half-sister. Now that he
was marrying her, the situation became an unprecedented spectacle.
Some even whispered softly that this was why Chadwick insisted on marrying Esther, a divorced
woman who couldn't bear children. It seemed he had adopted his father's strategy of having a legal
wife in public while maintaining unconventional affairs in private.
Chadwick had been Capitus' top playboy, known for his partying, drinking, gambling, and womanizing
habits. His marriage to Mandy was a shocking twist for many.
Hearing the whispers and discussions among the guests, Richard clenched his fists and angrily
berated Chadwick, "Look at what you've done!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Liora, who had been consoling Mandy, defended Chadwick. "Is this the right time for quarreling? Can't
we..."
Before Richard could argue further, a group of police officers in formal attire entered the wedding
venue.
"Richard Pendleton and Chadwick Pendleton, you are suspected of drug trafficking..."
Richard stared at the police, incredulous. "Do you know who I am? Drug trafficking? I'm the last person
who would do that!"
"Richard Pendleton, we wouldn't come here to arrest you without substantial evidence. We have
witnesses and physical evidence. If you have doubts, we'll address them later."
Chadwick glared at Oliver and Marcus with killing intent. He sneered. "Do you really have any
evidence?"
"Richard Pendleton and Chadwick Pendleton, these are search and arrest warrants. You have the right
to remain silent..."
Seeing Chadwick's arrest, Mandy sighed with relief. After that, he couldn't use Liora to threaten her.
Liora was eager to protect her lover, so she rushed forward and tried to take the blame for the
Pendletons.
"Officer, this has nothing to do with Richard and Chadwick. I did everything..."
Shocked by Lioraa's self-sacrifice, Mandy pulled her back and asked tremblingly, "Mom, have you lost
your mind?"
