Chapter 834 - The Meeting Of Bad People

When the gala dinner began, the conference participants were amazed by the table arrangement and the food served by world-class Michelin chefs. The entertainment provided for them was also top-level, featuring the world's best musicians under the management of Brilliant Mind Media.

There was a sound of admiration here and there when delegates saw the dishes presented and the magnificent gala dinner decorations. They had never attended a gala dinner conference that was as lavish as tonight. The attendees were treated like royalty or high-class socialites.

The gala dinner began with a very charming classical music performance, followed by an opening speech by Dr. Muller who was one of the leaders at the Berlin Metropole Hospital as the host of the conference this time.

After that, there were several other performances followed by a speech from London Schneider as representative of the Schneider group. His speech was brief but amazed everyone present.

The reputation of the Schneider family and also his good looks as an heir to the family really caught the attention of many people. When he was standing on stage to give his speech, London noticed there was a commotion at one of the tables in front.

He smiled faintly when he saw Danny Swann arrive at the ballroom and immediately looked for the table where Caroline was seated. John Wendell and his daughter looked like they saw a ghost when he came to their table. Jan was indeed very efficient, London praised inwardly. Jan managed to make Danny Swann arrive on time.

London immediately finished his speech and followed by a standing ovation from the guests present. He then got off the stage and approached the table where John and Caroline Wendell were.

"Good evening. Is everything all right here?" He greeted them in a warm voice. Caroline looked awkward seeing London Schneider and Danny Swann in the same place.

"N-nothing," Caroline stammered.

Danny Swann, who saw her attitude changed, was astonished. He then took her hand and tried to position his body in front of Caroline's as if showing ownership. However, Caroline reflexively avoided him and brushed off the man's hand.

"Don't touch me," said the girl.

"Honey, why are you acting like this? I didn't do anything wrong to you ..." Danny said. He then turned towards John Wendell. "Uncle, what's wrong with Caroline? Didn't we make a deal? I did what you asked me to. I came here to tell you that everything was settled."

"I don't know what you mean ..." said John Wendell in a cold voice. He took the glass of wine and gulped it down.

"Uncle, we don't need to worry anymore. Marianne will no longer be a problem for Caroline and me to be happy." Danny Swann explained. "I have got rid of her."

John Wendell seemed to widen his eyes with a surprised expression, and his body retreated slightly. His voice was hoarse as he accused Danny Swann while pointing his finger at the man.

"Daniel ... What have you done? Are you crazy? What do you mean by 'got rid' of Marianne ?? Did you do something to her?!"

In his heart, London praised John Wendell's good acting. Now, in public, this old man would blame everything on Danny Swann.

Very good.

"What do you mean by this, Uncle? Didn't you ask me to get rid of Marianne so that I could control all of my grandfather's inheritance? That was the only way you would let me marry Caroline? Why are you suddenly acting like this?" Danny Swann asked in confusion.

John Wendell looked shocked. His body almost staggered if only Caroline did not immediately support her father.

"Father .. are you alright?" asked the girl, anxiously.

John seemed to shake his head with a face filled with horror. "Caroline ... What ... what did Daniel say just now? Did you hear it ...? What did he say? He said he got rid of Marianne? Is that true? I didn't mishear?" asked John to his daughter, who could only answer with a shake of her head and an expression of shock. John looked at Danny Swann with looking horrified. "Daniel Swann ... why did you do that? Oh, Daniel ... I've known you for a dozen years. I always treat you as my own child ... But why do you have the heart to do this and ruin our family name? I don't want to have anything to do with you ..."

Crazy, this old bastard is very good at acting, thought London Schneider, almost impressed.

"Daniel ... If you really did that damned thing ... Get out of here before I report you to the police. I don't want to get involved and get my hands dirty with other people's blood..." whispered John Wendell in regret.

Seeing the attitude of John Wendell, Danny Swann was stunned.

"Uncle, what is going on? What happened to you?" asked London immediately. He wanted Danny Swann to be aware of his presence. Sure enough, the man immediately turned to where the sound came from and frowned when he saw London's face.

Somehow he felt like he had seen this man in front of him, but he didn't know exactly where.

"Who are you?" Danny asked London in a curt voice. His premonition said that the change in Caroline's attitude tonight had something to do with the man who was now standing in front of her.

"Oh, London ... You're here," Caroline hurriedly went to London Schneider's side and held his hand. Her beautiful face looked worried and scared. "This is my ex-boyfriend. His name is Daniel Swann. Maybe you still remember the inheritance problem I told you about."

London raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Yes, I still remember. What's wrong?"

"Ugh ... Danny said he still wants to marry me, but he insists on getting the inheritance from his grandfather. He intends to get rid of the girl who betrothed to him. I'm scared..." The girl pleaded as if she was a damsel in distress who needed to be saved her knight in shining armor. "I never thought that someone I knew from childhood could do such a cruel thing."

Danny Swann widened his eyes at Caroline's words. He never expected to hear them from the girl he loved. Not in a million years. He felt blindsided.

"Caroline! I did that for you! Why are you acting like this? You know I did this for your sake ... Your father gave me the contact of some assassins to help me. Why are you pretending you don't know this?" Danny's brown eyes were filled with disappointment.

It took a few seconds for the man to realize that John Wendell and Caroline had planned all these. They never intended to let him get back together with Caroline.

Why did they treat him like this? Had Caroline found a new boyfriend? Danny stared at London Schneider for a few moments, and finally, he understood what was happening.

"You're ... from the Schneider family?" he asked in a low voice, as if in disbelief.

London nodded. "That's right. My name is London Schneider."

Instantly, Danny Swann's shoulders hung low. He realized that Caroline had really thrown him away because she had met a man who was much wealthier than he was.

He finally understood that Caroline didn't really love him, because she could easily leave him for another man.

Such great disappointment soon filled his mind. Slowly, anger also began to rise in him.

"You rotten piece of sh*t... You really are animals ...! You want to trap me ... I'm not guilty of what happened to Marianne ... You guys made me do it ...." Danny Swann's voice suddenly turned into hysterical screams. At the same time, his body had pounced and hit John Wendell to the ground. The man fell with a bleeding nose.

Caroline immediately screamed, trying to ask for help from those present to help her father.
