Leah couldnât help but recall the time when Bradley reluctantly married Esther. Despite his reluctance, he maintained proper etiquette and paid attention to every detail. He even personally carried Esther to the wedding car.
But now, when it came to their daughter, Bradley displayed an arrogant attitude and showed no regard for them as parents.
Leah was furious but had no outlet for her anger. When she saw Billy, who had been to the bathroom six or seven times, she unleashed her wrath on him. âYouâre the only one dropping the ball at such a critical moment. How can I rely on you?â
Concerned, Billy asked, âWhat happened?â
âAnstey, you useless piece of trashâ¦â
Billyâs stomach gurgled again, and he rushed to the toilet, telling Leah, âHoney, I need to use the restroom.â
Leah was seething with anger but couldnât vent her frustrations at Bradley. Instead, she put on a smiling face to greet the guests.
The wedding procession was about to leave, and the Anstey and Walpole familiesâ relatives followed in their cars to the venue.
When Billy emerged from the restroom, the large villa was empty. Despite his discomfort, he stood alone in the center of the residence before driving a BMW out of the garage. However, after driving less than 50 meters, his stomach rumbled again, and he had to turn back.
Leah stayed in touch with Shane on her phone while inside the car with her relatives.
Leah: [That wretched Estherâ¦]
Shane: [Donât worry. Esther and the little b*stard have been taken away. No one will be foolish enough to disrupt my daughterâs wedding.]
Leah: [When you arrive at the hotel, come to the bridal suite later to see Liliane. Our daughter looks beautiful today.]
Shane: [Iâve arranged for someone to hide Esther. After Lilianeâs wedding, Iâll arrange for her to have the transplant surgery.]
The wedding procession arrived at the venue.
Although Bradley hadnât formally invited guests or sent out invitations to his business partners, many guests showed up uninvited. Those who could attend Bradleyâs wedding were elites from various fields and prominent families in high society.
As soon as Bradley stepped out of the car, he was surrounded by people warmly greeting him. Dressed in a long gown, Liliane had to be escorted by bodyguards and take a dedicated elevator. Even with Lilianeâs lack of shrewdness, she could sense Bradleyâs indifference. Anxiously sitting in the brideâs waiting room, she nervously clasped her hands. âMom, nothing unexpected will happen at my wedding, right?â
Leah reassured her, âLiliane, donât worry. Nothing will happen.â
Liliane grabbed Leahâs hand and placed it on her chest, saying, âMom, my heart is beating so fast. Iâm scared. Iâm nervousâ¦â
Dealing with Lilianeâs heart condition for many years, Leah had some understanding of it. She noticed that Lilianeâs heart rate was different than usual. Worried about any mishaps, she quickly gave Liliane two pills.
âLiliane, just be a beautiful bride without any worries.â
A sinister light flickered in Leahâs eyes. She would take their life if anyone dared to ruin her daughterâs wedding!
After taking the pills, Liliane felt her heart becoming more at ease. Looking around, she asked, âMom, why havenât I seen Dad?â
âThat useless man ate something bad and has been in the bathroom all morning.â Leah gently adjusted Lilianeâs hair and said, âYou should change into your wedding gown first. If your dad canât make it later, Iâll have Uncle Shane walk you down the aisleâ¦â
âHuh?â Liliane was unaware that Shane was her biological father, so she was slightly surprised and asked, âWill he be willing to?â
