Chapter 256
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 place 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 glancing at Esther with a malicious smile in her eyes. She sneered. “What’s the matter? Do you want to continue your relationship with her? But you’re afraid that she’s the one who killed your grandfather, and you can’t overcome this obstacle in your heart, so you want to blame 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 to comply with your demands?” Liliane scoffed as she stared at Bradley, who had a grim expression on his face, and forced a saccharine 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 claim that I removed the oxygen mask, then present the evidence. I believe you should understand the law. Your voice recording cannot be used as evidence in court.‘
Esther was incensed. She raised her hand and delivered a hard slap 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 into laughter. “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
