Chapter 347

“You’re being so smug because you’re so sure of yourself I won’t be able to find against you, am I right?”

any evidence Liam gritted his teeth and declared, “I will find it. One of these days, I will find the evidence I need.”

Liam’s intense demeanor took Liliane aback. She chuckled and sarcastically replied, “I’m trembling in fear right now!”

Liam’s anger toward Liliane was evident as he pointed at her and spoke in a deep voice.” Villains like you will face the consequences one day. Don’t think your crimes will remain hidden forever. The world will eventually uncover all the heinous acts you’ve committed.”

After his statement, Liam walked away while Liliane watched him from behind and snickered.

“This mysterious man is incredible! Everything he has done so far has been flawless. Otherwise, the lawyer Jasper hired for Esther would have discovered something. Right now, I can be the ultimate winner, but the original video is still in possession of this mysterious man.’

Liliane’s cell phone rang, and her face lit up with joy as she read the message.

The mysterious man informed her that he would arrange for Billy’s death that night.

However, Liliane needed to visit the Ansteys’ villa to facilitate his plans.

Liliane had complete trust in everything the mysterious man told her, without a shadow of a doubt.

Thus, that afternoon, Liliane and her caretakers returned to the Ansteys’ villa. The last time she had left the villa was during Bradley’s wedding.

The villa’s windows and main entrance had faded, and the garden’s flowers and plants were badly damaged due to lack of care.

This villa, which used to be the warmest home Liliane knew, now felt cold and unfamiliar.

“Dad,” Liliane whispered as the smell of alcohol greeted her upon entering the villa.

Once she adjusted to the odor, she saw Billy, with disheveled stubble, sleeping amidst a collection of wine bottles.

Liliane turned to her caretakers and softly instructed, “One of you needs to stay here and tidy up the place while the other buys ingredients and prepares a meal.”

The caretakers began their tasks.

Liliane gently nudged the intoxicated Billy and said, “Dad, wake up.”

Billy opened his eyes dazedly and spoke hoarsely upon seeing Liliane. “Liliane, it’s you!”

“Why did you drink so much, Dad?” Liliane played the role of a dutiful daughter, following the mysterious man’s instructions. “You shouldn’t drink so excessively. It’s not good for you.

“Liliane! I’m sorry for my incompetence!” Billy released all the frustration he had been harboring.

He felt bewildered, realizing his incompetence in navigating the world. He had been manipulated by Leah, had fallen for Liliane’s schemes, and had even failed to fulfill Faye’s task, making him feel utterly worthless.

“I will always consider you the best father,” Liliane said as she sat on the couch, holding Billy’s hand.

Suppressing her inner disgust, she continued. “I know I’m not your biological daughter, but you have been my father since I was born. All the time we have spent together is real. I have pondered this for a long time, Dad, and I would choose you over any dowry you could offer me.

Billy, never one to make firm decisions, became even more intoxicated as he listened to Liliane’s “sincere” speech.

“I came home today to see you and return everything you have given me. I don’t want our relationship to be destroyed over some measly dollars.”

Those words struck a chord in Billy’s heart. Despite his disdain for Leah, he softened when facing Liliane.

“Liliane…”

As Billy looked at her, Liliane said, “Dad, I haven’t been in good health, but I know you and Mom have showered me with love. Despite everything, I feel blessed to have lived every day of my life. So, since my time may be limited compared to yours, I want you to promise me that you won’t be too devastated when that happens.”

Despite the pain Liliane had caused him, she was still the daughter he had lovingly cherished for over two decades.
