As soon as Bella Ward finished speaking, Old Mr. Blake raised his hand and slapped her hard across the other side of her face.
The sharp sound made all the guests gasp in shock.
Even the people who had been covertly watching the Lillionix Grand Launch on their phones looked up, their attention instantly hijacked by the drama unfolding on stage.
Bella's mouth fell open, utterly stunned. She wasn't the only one; the entire crowd was frozen in disbelief.
Sebastian Blake reacted a moment later, stepping in front of Bella to shield her.
"Dad, don't you think this is too much? It's our wedding day, and we have guests. Do you really not care about the Blake family's reputation?"
He quickly shot a frantic look at Julian Ross.
Julian stood there, dumbfounded, struggling to process the chaos.
Sebastian glared at him, silently ordering him to cut the livestreams immediately. This was a monumental humiliation. If it continued, they would become a global laughingstock.
Julian snapped out of it and rushed to order the media to kill their feeds.
But the reporters weren't fools. A massive scandal at a billionaire's wedding was a goldmine of traffic. If they missed this, they'd never get another chance. They ignored Julian's threats, actively angling their cameras to get sharper shots of the stage.
Julian paced frantically, but the media completely refused to cooperate.
