Liam gritted his teeth and declared, “I will find it. One of these days, I will find the evidence I need.”
Liam’s intense demeanor took Liliane aback. She chuckled and sarcastically replied, “I’m trembling infear right now!”novelbin
Liam’s anger toward Liliane was evident as he pointed at her and spoke in a deep voice.” Villains likeyou will face the consequences one day. Don’t think your crimes will remain hidden forever. The worldwill eventually uncover all the heinous acts you’ve committed.”
After his statement, Liam walked away while Liliane watched him from behind and snickered.
“This mysterious man is incredible! Everything he has done so far has been flawless. Otherwise, thelawyer Jasper hired for Esther would have discovered something. Right now, I can be the ultimatewinner, but the original video is still in possession of this mysterious man.’
Liliane’s cell phone rang, and her face lit up with joy as she read the message.
The mysterious man informed her that he would arrange for Billy’s death that night.
However, Liliane needed to visit the Ansteys’ villa to facilitate his plans.
Liliane had complete trust in everything the mysterious man told her, without a shadow of a doubt.
Thus, that afternoon, Liliane and her caretakers returned to the Ansteys’ villa. The last time she had leftthe villa was during Bradley’s wedding.
The villa’s windows and main entrance had faded, and the garden’s flowers and plants were badlydamaged due to lack of care.
This villa, which used to be the warmest home Liliane knew, now felt cold and unfamiliar.
“Dad,” Liliane whispered as the smell of alcohol greeted her upon entering the villa.
Once she adjusted to the odor, she saw Billy, with disheveled stubble, sleeping amidst a collection ofwine bottles.
Liliane turned to her caretakers and softly instructed, “One of you needs to stay here and tidy up theplace while the other buys ingredients and prepares a meal.”
The caretakers began their tasks.
Liliane gently nudged the intoxicated Billy and said, “Dad, wake up.”
Billy opened his eyes dazedly and spoke hoarsely upon seeing Liliane. “Liliane, it’s you!”
“Why did you drink so much, Dad?” Liliane played the role of a dutiful daughter, following themysterious man’s instructions. “You shouldn’t drink so excessively. It’s not good for you.
“Liliane! I’m sorry for my incompetence!” Billy released all the frustration he had been harboring.
He felt bewildered, realizing his incompetence in navigating the world. He had been
manipulated by Leah, had fallen for Liliane’s schemes, and had even failed to fulfill Faye’s task, makinghim feel utterly worthless.
“I will always consider you the best father,” Liliane said as she sat on the couch, holding Billy’s hand.
Suppressing her inner disgust, she continued. “I know I’m not your biological daughter, but you havebeen my father since I was born. All the time we have spent together is real. I have pondered this for along time, Dad, and I would choose you over any dowry you could offer me.
Billy, never one to make firm decisions, became even more intoxicated as he listened to Liliane’s“sincere” speech.
“I came home today to see you and return everything you have given me. I don’t want our relationshipto be destroyed over some measly dollars.”
Those words struck a chord in Billy’s heart. Despite his disdain for Leah, he softened when facingLiliane.
“Liliane…”
As Billy looked at her, Liliane said, “Dad, I haven’t been in good health, but I know you and Mom haveshowered me with love. Despite everything, I feel blessed to have lived every day of my life. So, sincemy time may be limited compared to yours, I want you to promise me that you won’t be too devastatedwhen that happens.”
Despite the pain Liliane had caused him, she was still the daughter he had lovingly cherished for overtwo decades.
