Chapter 1146
The two on stage were completely paralyzed with fear.
Bianca’s face was ashen.
Watching themselves steal and hearing those venomous words, their minds went entirely blank.
It was over.
Everything was ruined.
This was a global livestream.
In front of the entire world, all their secrets had been exposed.
They were completely finished!
Below the stage, Arthur Doyle’s eyes were practically bulging out of his head.
The smugness he felt moments ago had morphed into pure, twisted rage. He stood up abruptly and roared frantically at the backstage crew, “Cut the power! Who told you to play this? Turn it off right now p>
However, before the crew could even react.
Chairman Alistair Kingsley picked up his microphone with a cold expression. He let out a scoff and looked at Arthur. “Cut the power? Mr. Doyle, this is a global broadcast. Do you really think you can cover this up p>
Then, he glanced down at the two girls collapsed on the floor. “Did I, from beginning to end, ever say that the winning team was The Dreamscape Initiative p>
Bianca snapped her head up.
No p>
He really hadn’t.
At the time, she was so consumed by the belief that it had to be them.
She hadn’t even listened to what the Chairman was actually saying.
“Did you truly believe there was no surveillance system on Vertex Island? That you could just run wild in there? Did you think the Organizing Committee was blind and ignorant of all the filthy things you did p>
Bianca’s pupils dilated in horror as she stared at the Chairman in disbelief.
There were cameras on the island?
Then… then all those days she spent there p>
The thought of everything she had done drained the last bit of color from her face.

contestants. You never once

they could produce a top-tier
research report p>
“Are you worthy of the praise I just gave p>
The merciless scolding brutally ripped away the last shred of dignity Bianca and Isabella had left.
Bianca slumped on the floor, unable to utter a single word, utterly consumed by despair.
Offstage, Arthur Doyle’s face was livid, a ruthless glint flashing through his eyes. He knew this daughter of his was ruined.
She was useless now.
Taking a deep breath, he stood up and bowed deeply to the audience. “Everyone, as Bianca’s father, I am deeply heartbroken and profoundly apologetic p>
He then turned to look at Bianca on stage, feigning an expression of agonizing disappointment. “Bianca, you have let me down too much p>
“Is this how the Doyle family raised you? To do something so despicable and shameless just to win p>
“You have disgraced our family name p>
He tried desperately to wash the Doyle family clean of the mess.
He even went as far as righteously cutting ties with her. “These are entirely Bianca’s personal, vile
actions. They have nothing to donet
with the Doyle family. We have always abided by the law and absolutely do not tolerate this kind of behavior. I ask the Organizing Committee to punish her according to the rules. The Doyle family will not protect her p>
The light in Bianca’s eyes slowly extinguished.
She understood.
Her father was abandoning her.
