The socialite was thoroughly confused as she looked at Bradleyâs handsome face, which was filled with anger. She couldnât understand what was happening. How could Bradley be preparing for a wedding with Liliane and still be entangled with Esther?
Bradley said, âI donât want anyone else to know what happened today. If you dare say a wordâ¦â
Felix stood up for Esther with a stern face. âYour family will go bankrupt by the next sunrise!â
Esther could not help but laugh at Felixâs domineering and bossy demeanor. She reached out and held his small hand, moved as she said, âMy son is the best. He knows how to defend his Mommy!â
Felixâs adorable little face blushed even more when Esther praised him. âMommy, Daddy, and I are your bodyguards!â
Bradley glanced at Esther and Felix, who seemed completely unaware of their surroundings, and slowly withdrew his hand from the socialiteâs chin. With a fierce expression, he uttered, âGet lost!â
The socialite had never witnessed this side of Bradley before. In her memory, he had always been an elegant and noble man, like a flower on a distant peak, untouchable. She had fallen for him.
During the time when Esther faced troubles, she, like other jealous women who resented Estherâs position as Mrs. Warner, had tried to bring her down. She had spread slanderous and vulgar words through anonymous troll accounts, ridiculing Esther. The socialite and her companions had attended a wild nightclub party on the day Esther was imprisoned, silently reveling in their shared understanding.
These socialites had assumed that Bradley and Esther would become bitter enemies, given that he had personally sent her to prison. Thus, they felt immense satisfaction when they witnessed Estherâs presence. at the funeral, being mocked by Bradley.
However, the socialite had never anticipated seeing Bradley actually taking Esther to the movies tonight while she herself had come with her young boyfriend.
Seizing the opportunity, she approached Esther when she was alone, only to unintentionally discover that Bradley, who should have despised Esther with every fiber of his being, was fiercely protecting her in this manner. His eyes, in particular, were icy and ruthless, brimming with merciless cruelty.
Bradley placed his arm around Estherâs shoulder, and Esther held Felixâs little hand as they walked together as a family of three towards the screening hall, The socialite trembled all over. She took out her phone shakily, trying to call Liliane to ask what exactly was going on.
Why was Lilianeâs son calling Esther âMommyâ?
Just as the socialite was about to make the call, Bradley turned his head slightly, and his warning gaze seemed to contain endless killing intent that engulfed her.
The socialite was so frightened that the phone slipped from her hand and fell with a thud onto the carpet. Before she could pick it up, it started ringing.
After the phone rang for a while, the socialite, as if waking up from a dream, picked up the phone. Her voice was trembling as she slowly called out, âDadâ¦â
âWhere are you now? Come back within half an hour and pack your things to leave the country!â
âWhy, Dad? Why so suddenly?â she asked.
âYou are asking me why? Let me ask you, why did you provoke Mr. Warner? Is he someone you can easily.
provoke? If our family goes bankrupt, you will be the one to blame!â
The socialiteâs legs gave out, causing her to fall to the ground in disbelief. She had never anticipated that Bradley would go to such extreme lengths for Esther.
At that moment, fear and panic overtook her. She took a deep breath, struggling to regain her composure, and stumbled out of the cinema.
The thought of going bankrupt terrified her. She didnât want to live a life filled with constant worry over a few dollars each day.
