Ditched the Wedding and Changed the Groom Chapter 10
The relatives who had tagged along with the Greens just to snag a free meal and were now forced to stand beyond the doors. They gasped upon hearing the new development."So, Everett's a criminal!""800,000 dollars! That's enough to send him to prison!""Quick! Get away from him! We don't want to get dragged into this mess!"The same people who had fanned the flames in the group chat and urged me to be magnanimous were now cutting ties faster than anyone.A sharp wail of sirens pierced the night sky. Two police cars with flashing red and blue lights pulled into the hotel plaza before several police officers rushed in and headed straight for Everett.I looked coldly toward the ballroom door and pointed at the trembling figure hiding in the shadows."Officers, he isn't the only suspect. Della, hiding right over there, isn't just his accomplice. The necklace she's wearing around her neck is my stolen property."The police officers unclasped my Bulgari necklace from Della's neck on

Ashton didn't get mad. All he did was take out his phone, dial a number, and tap on the speakerphone button.The call was answered after two rings, and a deeply respectful voice came through. "How can I help you, Mr. Hathaway?"Ashton indifferently said, "Mr. Wade, a manager under you named Everett Green has not only offended my fiancee, but he's also suspected of embezzling corporate funds. Handle it."The other end of the line fell silent for a full second before a deafening roar exploded from the speaker."Everett Green, you absolute moron! Mr. Hathaway is our company's largest investor. Are you out of your goddamn mind?"Get the hell out of there right now! Hand your access card and laptop back to the administrative team!"As for those fraudulent accounts you kept at the company, just wait for the legal team to settle scores with you!"With a sharp click, the person hung up.All the color drained from Everett's face. His knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the steps right

After the audio file ended, the entire Internet went into an absolute frenzy.Della, who had been hiding off-camera, let out a piercing shriek. She rushed into the frame, covering her face with both hands, and her hair was a complete mess."No! I never said that!"It's fake! Madeline used AI to make the audio file!"However, her panicked movements and deathly pale face completely gave her away.The bullet comments in the livestream went completely feral."He lives off her wife yet still acts entitled! This guy's the ultimate scumbag!""This is absolutely sickening! Did he just target the bride's assets just to fund his mistress' dance studio? I can hear his parasitic scheming from outer space!""Get off the internet, you worthless scumbag! Call the police and lock him up!""Where did that homewrecker go, the one who was acting all innocent a second ago? Come out and take your beating!"Just as Everett frantically scrambled to shut down the livestream, the elevator doors opene

The bullet comments in the livestream were filled with voices of sympathy for Everett while cursing me out for being inhumane.Everett wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes. He fished a worn key out of his pocket and inserted it into the manual keyhole of the smart lock, then turned it with force.It didn't budge.He froze for a second, then tried again with more force. This time, the key became completely jammed inside, but the door remained completely motionless."What's going on?"Frowning, he forced a smile at the camera and said, "The lock might be broken. I'll get the management staff to come take a look."The elevator doors slid open with a chime before the property manager, Thomas Hanks, emerged with a cold expression, accompanied by a locksmith wearing work overalls."Mr. Green."He held up a receipt and cut off Everett's words without a shred of courtesy. "Don't bother trying. We've just replaced the lock."The true owner of the apartment notified us to chang

Della misplaced her foot on the stairs in the middle of the jostling, and her high heels gave out beneath her."Ah!"With a sharp shriek, she pathetically tumbled onto the ground, dragging her pure white tulle dress through muddy water and tire tracks on the pavement. It was instantly filthy and ruined."Everett! Everett, help me!"She sat on the ground, crying pitifully. All traces of her arrogant, manipulative innocence were gone.Arm in arm with Ashton, I turned and entered the grand hotel ballroom.Everett's frantic roars came from behind us. "Just you wait, Madeline! The penthouse is under my name, and if you dare swap grooms today, don't even think about coming home tonight!"…Under Ashton's lawless arrangements, the wedding proceeded incredibly smoothly.I was sitting in the VIP dressing room, having just changed out of my reception dress, when my phone suddenly buzzed with over a dozen push notifications.Everett had published a 2,000-word article on the local city

The flattering smile on Everett's face instantly froze.He locked his deadly stare on my arm, which was linked with Ashton's, and shrieked like he was looking at a monster, "What did you just say? Are you making him the groom instead?"Before he could lash out, eight hotel security guards stepped in. Their expressions were cold as they formed a solid wall right in front of him to block his path."Have you lost your mind, Madeline?"Held back beneath the steps by the imposing guards, Everett was hopping mad. He pointed in my face, and his voice turned shrill from sheer anger."Where did you hire this guy? How'd you get him to put on a show with you? Do you honestly think hiring some random guy to play a billionaire is going to scare me?"I'm telling you—the Green family booked this hotel! I'm the main event here today!"He desperately clung to his fragile, fake respectability and attempted to keep up his "rich and powerful" persona in front of his relatives.Clifton's expression
