My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 

Shane nodded in understanding. “He really can’t make it here?” 

Leah glanced at Shane with a hint of reproach. “I administered a significant dose. Even if he manages to come, he won’t be able to make it. Let’s not mention him anymore. It’s a joyous day. Let’s go greet the guests. If anyone asks, I’ll introduce you as Liliane’s godfather.” 

“Alright.” 

Shane and Leah descended the stairs one after another. Although they didn’t display any overtly intimate gestures, the underlying affection between them caught the attention of the other guests. 

Liliane finally put on her long-awaited, exquisite wedding gown in the bride’s dressing room. The shimmering diamonds added a touch of brilliance under the lights. 

The stylist carefully placed a priceless vintage crown on Liliane’s head and couldn’t help but express her envy. “Mrs. Warner, Mr. Warner really spoils you. I heard this crown has a starting bid of $15,000,000 at auction.” 

The stylist never expected to witness such opulence in her lifetime. 

Filled with happiness and contentment, Liliane smiled at her reflection in the mirror, realizing her long-held dream. She was in a cheerful mood. 

“Do you want to try it on?” she asked. 

The stylist shook her head. “No… I wouldn’t dare. It’s such an expensive crown. I can’t afford to damage it.” 

Liliane smiled and said nothing. 

She took out her phone and checked her earlier social media posts. Many people had liked and commented, but Esther hadn’t responded in any way. 

Liliane went straight to the chat box with Esther and typed a somewhat insincere message. 

[Esther, it’s my wedding day today. I hope I have your blessing.] 

After contemplating for a while, Liliane finally pressed the ‘Send’ button. She didn’t receive a reply and regretted not being able to witness Esther’s helplessness and sadness firsthand. 

As the wedding time approached, Billy, who was still at the Ansteys’ villa some distance away, tumbled down the stairs due to feeling unwell. He called Leah while lying in a pool of blood, but Leah merely glanced at her phone indifferently, choosing not to answer. 

Unable to reach Leah, Billy had no choice but to dial the emergency number while nursing his injured body. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, he turned on a live-streaming app and watched the wedding ceremony. 

The wedding planning company had showcased Bradley’s wealth to the fullest extent. 

Wherever the camera turned, there were exquisite flowers, and wherever the eye landed, there 

was a display of wealth.
