Chapter 698


    As a result, he secretly had his son with Liora to rece Selene''s child. What was worse, he


    heartlessly abandoned Selene''s child at an orphanage. Such a cruel and selfish man was now facing


    the consequences in prison.


    "You can''t say that about him!" Liora rushed to his defense.


    Mandy sternly retorted, "Did I say anything wrong? Do you know why we''ve been targeted so


    ruthlessly? It''s because of the Cassell family''s retaliation. They want to ensure we can''t survive in


    Capitus!"


    Liora, shocked and in tears, stammered, "H-How could Selene—"


    Mandy snorted. "Why couldn''t she? If I were Selene, I would have been even more ruthless!"


    "I need to tell Richard..." Liora seemed to have forgotten that Richard was now in jail, facing a future


    behind bars.


    Mandy sneered. "Sure, take a ne back andin to him. Tell him it''s all because of him that both


    of us are suffering the consequences."


    Liora''s anger boiled over, and she pped Mandy in the face. As soon as she realized what she had


    done, she approached Mandy and said softly, "Mandy, I was wrong. I…"


    Mandy pushed Liora away and headed downstairs. She stormed into the kitchen, opened the


    refrigerator, and wrapped a towel around some ice to soothe her face. Her face had undergone stic


    surgery, and she was usually very cautious about preserving it. Liora had actually struck her.


    Mandy''s heart burned with rage. It was never toote for payback. She needed to find an opportunity to


    retaliate for that p.


    "Ms. Pendleton, let me help you," Esther, trying to get closer to Mandy, approached and offered


    assistance.


    Mandy couldn''t risk Esther finding out the truth about her face. She used the ice to soothe her face


    while concealing it with her hair. "Thank you. There''s no need."


    Mandy felt extremely awkward and thought that Liora really wasn''t a qualified mother. She was unlike


    Leah, who was always hesitant to harm her.


    Even if Leah had done something wrong, it was for her sake! On the other hand, Liora hadn''t even


    noticed that her own daughter had been switched. How could such a woman be fit to be a mother?


    Meanwhile, Bradley had been sitting in the living room for quite some time. Esther hadn''t said a word to


    him except for bringing him a te of fruit.


    However, as soon as Mandy appeared, Esther suddenly became attentive. He went to the kitchen and


    asked coldly, "Do you have nothing better to do?"

    Esther wanted to exin, but Bradley spoke with a raised eyebrow before she could. "Go clean the


    master bedroom''s bathroom."


    "Alright," Esther replied, thinking Bradley was trying to dismiss her so he could cozy up to Mandy. She


    then hurried upstairs.


    As Esther was cleaning the bathroom, she suddenly looked up and saw Bradley in the mirror. Shocked,


    she turned around with a scream, holding the showerhead, and identally sprayed water all over


    Bradley.


    Bradley advanced menacingly toward her, frightening her to beg for mercy. "I''m sorry, sir! I didn''t mean


    it!"


    Bradley cornered her, his eyes filled with anger.


    "S-Sir…"


    Bradley pressed Esther''s head and kissed her forcefully.
