When Esther's voice reached their ears, their hearts leaped.
"Esther, do you still remember me?" Oliver asked.
Esther turned to Oliver and softly replied, "Uncle Oliver."
Impatiently, Gabriel questioned, "What about me?"
"Grandpa Gabriel."
Nervousness made everyone's palms sweaty. They weren't sure if the plan would work.
"Esther, do you recall what happened before you fainted?" Agatha asked cautiously.
Esther bit her lip and nodded, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred. "Grandma Foster, I no longer have a sister."
Agatha and Oliver exchanged a knowing glance. Their plan seemed successful.
"Esther, I understand your grief, but we can't bring people back to life." Agatha gently stroked Esther's hair, her eyes filled with affection. She spoke softly. "You're still recovering. When you're stronger, we'll introduce you to your sister's child."
Esther sat up eagerly and said, "I'm fine now. I can—"
"You still need more rest, and we haven't informed the child about your sister."
Agatha's words brought tears to Esther's eyes. She looked at Oliver and said, "Uncle Oliver, I want justice for my sister."
"We'll take it slow with justice. First, you need to regain your strength." Oliver signaled to Gabriel, and the three of them left the room.
"It looks like the plan worked."
"There's no rush."After a pause, Oliver said, "I'm heading back to the country tomorrow. I was too lenient with the Warner Group before. I won't be this time."
"Please, don't resort to violence," Gabriel urged.
Although he was law-abiding, Bradley had pushed his limits. If the Warner Group was the source of Bradley's arrogance, they would cut off his resources without causing harm.
"Don't worry. He won't be harmed."
Esther's condition appeared better than expected to Oliver and Gabriel. They could return to their home country with peace of mind.

Upon their return, Oliver joined forces with the Fosters to launch a fierce assault on the Warner Group.
