Chapter 676
The calls didn’t connect, making Mandy restless as she paced around the room. She didn’t care muchabout Liora. After all, Liora wasn’t her real mother.
What truly concerned her was the confrontation with Bradley, who had become dangerouslyunpredictable. Would he treat her as he did Esther?
As she pondered, memories of her past life as Liliane and the unforgivable deeds she had committedcrossed her mind.
However, she had now transformed into Mandy. She hadn’t done anything to harm Bradley, evendonating her liver to him. If Bradley had any conscience, he shouldn’t harm her, right?

“What would you like to say?” Esther, wrapped in a blanket, shivered as she looked at Bradley.
When Bradley reached out toward Esther’s face, she instinctively dodged, making Bradley’s eyes flashwith a chilling intensity. He then grabbed her hair and kissed her forcefully.
Why couldn’t she ever learn her lesson? Why couldn’t she try to make him happy, please him, andsubmit to his desires?
As Bradley kissed Esther, her face turned red. She gripped his collar tightly, her breath desperate asshe begged, “Bradley, can I just tell Felix that I’m safe?”
“Only that?” Bradley asked coldly.
Esther nodded vigorously. “I promise. I just want to reassure Felix I’m fine and tell him to listen toGrandma Agatha…”
Bradley choked Esther’s neck, his bloodthirsty eyes gleaming with cruel intent. “Esther! How dare youuse Felix to threaten me?!”
