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 rted to this.


    Mandy felt cornered. She was unwilling to kiss Chadwick, so she feigned exhaustion during the kiss.


    She copsed toward Chadwick, identally revealing her face as she removed her veil.


    Mandy''s sudden unveiling triggered chaos at the wedding.


    "Mandy!" the guests eximed.


    Chadwick was standing beside her as the groom and red 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 eximed, "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 stic 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 yboy, 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!"


    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 thest person


    who would do that!"


    "Richard Pendleton, we wouldn''te here to arrest you without substantial evidence. We have


    witnesses and physical evidence. If you have doubts, we''ll address themter."


    Chadwick red 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 me 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?"
