My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 698

As a result, he secretly had his son with Liora to replace 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 plane back and complain 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 slapped 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 plastic surgery, and she was usually very cautious about preserving it. Liora had actually struck her.

Mandy's heart burned with rage. It was never too late for payback. She needed to find an opportunity to retaliate for that slap.

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