Liliane clutched her phone nervously as she paced back and forth. She had been a patient with a heart condition in the past, so she wasnât afraid of things being exposed. Each day she lived was a bonus.
But now that she had finally regained her health, she didnât want to spend the rest of her life in prison.
âHave you seen Jasperâs high-priced reward?â she asked as soon as the call connected. âIâm done for if the hackers find any flaws in the video!â
âMs. Anstey, thereâs currently no evidence to suggest that youâre in danger,â the mysterious person replied.
Compared to the calmness of the mysterious person who helped her, Liliane felt incredibly nervous, as if her throat was tightening.
âYou clearlyâ A chill ran down Lilianeâs back. âI canât be sure I can keep things about you a secret if Iâm exposed.â
âI wish you the best then, Ms. Anstey.â The call was disconnected.
Liliane tugged on her hair in frustration and tried to call the number again, but it could not be reached now.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. There was no need to panic. What was there to fear from a mere high-priced reward? Many people in this world took risks for money. If someone had evidence in their hands, they would have already exposed her.
âLiliane Anstey, donât panic. The more critical the situation, the calmer you must be,â she told herself.
She made a decision-she would leave the country. Lawyers could handle the lawsuit regarding Billyâs inheritance.
Liliane quickly transferred money to the two caregivers taking care of her. The caregivers did not know of Lilianeâs malicious doings and were excited to receive the money, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.
She then entrusted all her affairs to the lawyer.
After doing all that, Liliane bought a plane ticket, ready to leave the country.
âLiliane!â
As Liliane was about to enter the airport with her luggage, Liam suddenly stopped her.
Startled by Liamâs appearance, Liliane tightened her grip on the luggage handle, her palm becoming sweaty.
âWhat do you want?â she asked, her guard up.
Liam held a cartoon cup in his hand and opened the lid, splashing its contents onto her face.
âAhh!â
A scorching pain surged through Lillane, and she screamed in agony. A strong, pungent smell filled the air around her.
Airport security quickly rushed over and restrained Liam.
As Liliane writhed in pain, Liam felt a sense of satisfaction washing over him. âThis is your retribution, Liliane!â he thought.
Liliane had been tracking Liliane, waiting for the right moment to take revenge.
However, he didnât want to involve innocent people, as she always had caregivers around her. Today, he saw an opportunity when Liliane came to the airport alone.
Liamâs life was in shambles. He had fallen from grace overnight, and his fans had turned against him.
The entertainment company had dropped him, and he was facing a huge breach. of contract fee.
Liam blamed all of his misfortune on Liliane. None of this would have happened if she hadnât pretended to accept his gratitude toward Esther.
âLiliane, you deserve this!â he shouted as airport security led him away. Meanwhile, Liliane was in unbearable pain.
