Chapter 225

“Mom…” Liliane’s heart pounded, fearing that everything was about to collapse. She knew their actions against Esther in the past would now come back to haunt them even more severely.

“I’m here for you, Liliane.”

“Mom, I’m so scared.”

Liliane trembled with fear, terrified of death and living under constant scrutiny and condemnation.

As Leah supported Liliane and passed by Shane, she caught his gesture, a gesture that conveyed reassurance and support.

Leah’s frantic heart finally settled. She knew Shane was a responsible man who would never abandon them.

Despite the canceled wedding, the banquet hall still buzzed with guests who indulged in the exquisite delicacies. The scandalous revelation had not completely dispersed them. They formed small groups, relishing the food while sharing the gossip.

Meanwhile, the netizens reveled in the juicy gossip. Their expectations for a fairytale wedding were shattered, replaced by a shocking revelation orchestrated by the groom himself.

Bradley’s phone buzzed incessantly with missed calls and unread messages.

Concerned about Felix, he contacted Felix’s homeroom teacher.

“Mr. Warner, Mrs. Warner took Felix on leave today!”

Concerned, Bradley inquired, “On leave?”

“Yes, she mentioned something about visiting his grandmother’s grave…”

Bradley ended the call and immediately dialed Esther’s number.

Esther’s phone went unanswered.

An ominous premonition gripped Bradley’s heart. He summoned the head of the security team and instructed, “Contact the bodyguards assigned to protect Esther…”

“Mr. Warner, Madam’s bodyguards were present at the venue today.”

Bradley clenched his fists and demanded, “In three minutes, I want to know Esther’s current location.”

Three minutes later, the head of the security team approached Bradley and respectfully reported, “Mr.

Warner, Madam purchased tickets to Flanche, and the plane is scheduled to depart in 20 minutes!”

Without uttering a word, Bradley entered the hotel elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.

“Contact the airport control tower and request immediate clearance for my helicopter to land.”

“Yes, sir.”

Bradley swiftly boarded the helicopter.

Fifteen minutes later, the helicopter touched down on the airport apron.

With authority, Bradley descended from the helicopter, positioning himself in front of the moving aircraft.

The pilot stopped the plane, allowing Bradley to ascend the stairs.

Like a furious lion, Bradley roared, searching the aircraft for Esther and Felix.

“Esther Quill, come out!”

‘Esther!

‘Fine!

‘How dare you take Felix and leave!?’

Bradley’s furious roar elicited complaints from other passengers on the plane.

A flight attendant approached with a professional smile and spoke softly. “Sir, the woman you mentioned, Ms. Esther Quill, did not board the plane despite completing the boarding process.

Naturally, Bradley doubted the flight attendant’s words. He cast a cold glance at his bodyguards.

The bodyguards dispersed throughout the aircraft, meticulously searching every nook and cranny-the restrooms, under the seats, the cockpit, and even the storage compartments.

“Mr. Warner, no sign of her.”

“Mr. Warner, no sign of her.”
