Of course, the person Leah hated the most was still her father-in-law. Not only was it a slap in her face from him, but he had even taken in this mistressâ daughter and match-made her to Bradley!
âYeah, the doctors in the hospital say that she has no will to live!â Lilianeâs gaze was vicious, just like Leahâs. âThe critical illness notice is out. Itâll probably happen in the next two days!â
Leah stroked Lilianeâs hair lightly and said seriously after she calmed down, âLiliane, whatâs most important now isnât her but you. You and Bradley should have a child of your own sooner.â
Liliane stayed silent. She understood the significance of it and wanted a child of her own too. But she could not do it! Unless she got another woman to give birth to a baby for her.
âMom, can we try when you meet him next time?â
Liliane scoffed inwardly. Esther had benefited from it five years ago. This time, she must make sure nothing went wrong.
âBy the time you have your own kid, that b*tch Estherâs b*stard son can dieâ¦â Leah reminded Liliane coldly, âHeâs not your blood. He wonât be devoted to you.â
âI know, Mom,â Liliane agreed and said ruthlessly, âIâve thought of it. Iâll maximize the gains of that b*stardâs death. Too bad, I thought Esther could kill her son with her own hands, but her so-called abduction was just childâs play.â
âSo you mustnât be soft-hearted!â Leah gritted her teeth as she spoke. âIf you donât eliminate the issue at its root, itâll keep coming back!â
âWhat are you two talking about?â Lilianeâs father walked in drunkenly and heard the mother and daughter seemingly discussing something from afar.
Leahâs well-maintained face was cold as she stabbed her husband with her words. âYour daughterâs almost dead!â
The man hurried to Liliane and asked tipsily, âLiliane, is it your heart? Donât scare me!â
Leah was angry, looking at how the man babied Liliane.
âBilly Anstey! Donât curse my daughter!â Leah gnashed her teeth and said, âIâm talking about your other daughter, the one Faye Quill gave birth to!â
When Billy heard Fayeâs name, his drunken gaze showed a hint of clarity. He opened his mouth, looked at Leah, and asked hoarsely, âHoney, can I visit Esther?â
âHave I tied up your legs with a rope?â Leah spat and stomped upstairs.
Liliane scolded her father furiously as well, âDad, itâs not like you donât know Mom hates hearing Estherâs name. Why did you bring her up!?â
Billy looked at his wife and daughter leave and slumped on the couch weakly. He pulled out his phone Ludpier JO and went through Fayeâs photos from her social media.
âFaye! Tell me, have I really done wrong?â
Billy cried soundlessly, holding his phone. Who knew how long he had cried before he wiped the tears dry and made up his mind?
âFaye, donât you worry! Iâll take good care of your daughter.â
Leah smirked as she watched her husband cry, looking at Fayeâs photos through the surveillance camera in the living room, and said coldly, âWhen you and Bradleyâs wedding ends, Iâll send this man to meet his Faye!â
