Bradley gritted his teeth fiercely, his voice seething with anger.
Liliane’s thoughts of Bradley’s heartlessness during the wedding infuriated her, causing her eyes to
turn red. She pointed at Bradley and Esther, mocking them, “Mr. Warner, I have let you down, haven’t
I? I didn’t end up in jail after all!”
Fortunately, Shane’s connections helped secure Liliane’s release from the detention center on bail for
medical treatment. Otherwise, she would have been forced to stay in that dreadful ce where no one
would want to be.
“Liliane Anstey, who removed Grandpa’s oxygen mask?” Bradley cut to the chase, his tone icy and
devoid of warmth.
Liliane reclined against the soft pillow at the head of the bed, casually ncing at Esther with a
malicious smile in her eyes. She sneered. “What’s the matter? Do you want to continue your
rtionship with her? But you’re afraid that she’s the one who killed your grandfather, and you can’t
ovee this obstacle in your heart, so you want to me me instead?”
“Liliane, you admitted in front of Felix that you removed Grandpa Thomas‘ oxygen mask,” Esther

retorted, never expecting Liliane to try to argue her way out. She was furious as she continued.
“There’s a recording as evidence. You can’t deny it.”
“My dear sister, use your brain. At that time, under those circumstances, you clearly threatened me
with Felix’s life. What choice did I have but toply with your demands?” Liliane scoffed as she
stared at Bradley, who had a grim expression on his face, and forced a sharine grin.
“The esteemed head of the Warner Group, Mr. Bradley Warner, should have no trouble distinguishing
truth from lies, right? Besides, the judge and jury witnessed the scene where Esther removed the
oxygen mask during the court proceedings. Have you forgotten?”
“Liliane Anstey!” Esther broke free from Bradley’s grip and confronted Liliane, her beautiful face
contorted with anger. “It was you who removed Grandpa Thomas‘ oxygen mask!”
“Evidence is everything.” Liliane knew better than anyone that neither Esther nor Bradley had any
evidence against her. Confidently, she stated, “If you im that I removed the oxygen mask, then
present the evidence. I believe you should understand thew. Your voice recording cannot be used as
evidence in court.‘
Esther was incensed. She raised her hand and delivered a hard p to Liliane’s face. “Liliane, your
actions do not go unnoticed by higher powers. Don’t think that nobody knows about the things you’ve
done. One day, you will face the consequences!”
Liliane tilted her delicate neck and locked eyes with Bradley’s heartless face. She burst intoughter.
“Bradley, I heard that Felix died after falling into the sea. Do you believe that’s karma for publicly
breaking off the engagement?”
Esther never expected Liliane to be so arrogant and shameless. A surge of intense hatred welled up
within her like the tide of the sea.
“Liliane, Felix called you ‘Mommy‘ for several years…”
Liliane raised an eyebrow in annoyance and retorted, “So what? Are you implying that I
should sacrifice everything for him just because he called me ‘Mommy‘? Don’t be ridiculous! I wished
for his death ever since I found out he’s your son!”
Esther was nearly driven to madness by Liliane’s words. She raised her hand once again to p
Liliane.
Liliane’s head snapped to the side. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and mocked,
“Esther, you know what’s truly unfortunate to me? The fact that he didn’t die by your hands! But it’s no
different for him to perish at Bradley’s hands. It’s only fitting for a son to pay for his father’s debt!”
Esther attempted to p Liliane again, but Bradley swiftly grabbed her slender arm and coldly
remarked, “It’s not worth dirtying your hands for trash like her.”
“Hahaha!” Lilianeughed until tears streamed down her face. She elegantly wiped away the tears from
the corners of her eyes and maliciously stared at them. “I’m trash? Then what does that make you? A
pair who can’t even protect your own son? You’re nothing but scum!“
