As a result, he secretly had his son with Liora to replace Selene’s child. What was worse, heheartlessly abandoned Selene’s child at an orphanage. Such a cruel and selfish man was now facingthe 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 soruthlessly? It’s because of the Cassell family’s retaliation. They want to ensure we can’t survive inCapitus!”
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 futurebehind bars.
Mandy sneered. “Sure, take a plane back and complain to him. Tell him it’s all because of him that bothof us are suffering the consequences.”
Liora’s anger boiled over, and she slapped Mandy in the face. As soon as she realized what she haddone, she approached Mandy and said softly, “Mandy, I was wrong. I…”
Mandy pushed Liora away and headed downstairs. She stormed into the kitchen, opened therefrigerator, and wrapped a towel around some ice to soothe her face. Her face had undergone plasticsurgery, 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 toretaliate for that slap.
“Ms. Pendleton, let me help you,” Esther, trying to get closer to Mandy, approached and offeredassistance.
Mandy couldn’t risk Esther finding out the truth about her face. She used the ice to soothe her facewhile concealing it with her hair. “Thank you. There’s no need.”
Mandy felt extremely awkward and thought that Liora really wasn’t a qualified mother. She was unlikeLeah, who was always hesitant to harm her.
Even if Leah had done something wrong, it was for her sake! On the other hand, Liora hadn’t evennoticed that her own daughter had been switched. How could such a woman be fit to be a mother?
Meanwhile, Bradley had been sitting in the living room for quite some time. Esther hadn’t said a word tohim except for bringing him a plate of fruit.
However, as soon as Mandy appeared, Esther suddenly became attentive. He went to the kitchen andasked coldly, “Do you have nothing better to do?”
Esther wanted to explain, but Bradley spoke with a raised eyebrow before she could. “Go clean themaster bedroom’s bathroom.”
“Alright,” Esther replied, thinking Bradley was trying to dismiss her so he could cozy up to Mandy. Shethen hurried upstairs.
As Esther was cleaning the bathroom, she suddenly looked up and saw Bradley in the mirror. Shocked,she turned around with a scream, holding the showerhead, and accidentally sprayed water all overBradley.
Bradley advanced menacingly toward her, frightening her to beg for mercy. “I’m sorry, sir! I didn’t meanit!”
Bradley cornered her, his eyes filled with anger.
