Chapter 485

As soon as Tanya heard the question from the opposing lawyer, she quickly figured out what they were trying to do. They wanted to muddle the trial’s direction.

“Your Honor, I’d like to question the opposing party’s witness.”

“Proceed.”

Tanya walked to Liliane, took a deep breath, and asked, “Ms. Anstey, did my client, Ms. Quill, initially know that Felix was her biological son?”

Liliane struggled internally for a moment and answered honestly, “No.”

Tanya let out a sigh of relief. She was worried that Liliane might lie during the trial.

Fortunately, Liliane still held a basic respect for the law.

“Ms. Anstey, did my client eventually donate bone marrow to Felix?”

Liliane instinctively glanced at Bradley’s lawyer and answered, “Yes.”

“Thank you. I’m done with my questions.”

Tanya smiled and nodded at Liliane. She was very satisfied with her answer.

“Your Honor, I request our witness to testify.”

“Granted.”

The moment Clark appeared in the courtroom, Bradley stood up in shock. ‘How could he be here?’ he wondered.

Bradley’s legal team didn’t anticipate Tanya successfully convincing Clark to testify. They had asked Clark before, but he had refused. They never thought Clark would show up as the opposing witness.

“Mr. Tonks, when did my client find out that Felix was her own flesh and blood?”

Clark took out a recording and played it right there. The recording captured a conversation between Liliane and Esther inside Felix’s hospital room.

There was also a video from Felix’s hospital room, although it lacked any sound. To decipher their conversation, Esther had enlisted the services of an expert in lip-reading.

As Liliane listened to the recording, her hands clenched tightly, and anger surged through her. She had known that Esther was deceitful!

Why hadn’t Esther met her end in that hospital? If only Esther had died back then, Liliane would now be Bradley’s wife. If Esther had passed away at that time, her biological parents might have been spared from imprisonment.

Liliane’s phone emitted a buzz. While the trial was ongoing, her phone had been on silent mode. Now, she instinctively glanced at the incoming text message.

[Flight tickets ready. Leave the country immediately.]

Liliane was utterly baffled by the message. She had attempted to call the mysterious man, the calls wouldn’t connect. Additionally, her phone received a reminder from the airline.
