The womanâs voice in the recording wasnât hers. They repeated the same trick and faked the recording.
âYour Honor, this recording canât be evidence,â Tanya promptly objected.
Jonathan asked, âWeâd like our witness, Ms. Anstey, to testify.â
Esther and Jasper never expected Bradley to agree to let Liliane testify to win.
âGranted.â
The disfigured Liliane stepped forward under everyoneâs scrutiny.
Bradleyâs legal team was undoubtedly made up of top law school graduates. They pooled all available resources to secure victory.
âMs. Liliane Anstey, did Ms. Esther Quill coldly refuse my clientâs request to donate bone marrow to Felix Warner for his illness? Please answer with yes or no,â Jonathan asked.
Liliane held deep resentment toward Esther. If not for her, Leah wouldnât be in prison. Her biological father, Shane, wouldnât be in trouble. She wouldnât have been disfigured by that lunatic, Liam, either.
Now that she looked neither like a monster, on what grounds did Esther deserve happiness?
âYes.â
Jonathan smirked with a hint of triumph. He bet Esther and her lawyer hadnât expected Liliane to testify.
Estherâs reluctance to donate bone marrow made sense since she didnât know Felix was her son at the time. But would the judge consider this? Would the jurors and the public agree?
Unlikely!
They would likely view it as Esther refusing to save her own son to get back at Bradley. Bradley had taken extreme measures to save his son during a crucial time. While not legal, wasnât it normal for a father to have overwhelming love for his child?
âMs. Anstey, did my client, Mr. Warner, bring all his work affairs to the hospital room in order to take care of the ill Felix? Please answer with yes or no.â
âYes.â
Lilianeâs eyes fixed on Estherâs gorgeous face. Why did she always target Esther? Esther possessed a beauty beyond comparison that drove her to madness with jealousy.
âMs. Anstey, did my client, Mr. Warner, diligently fulfill the obligations of a father after Felixâs birth?â
Esther stared at Lilianeâs disfigured face, feeling a strong surge of anger.
âBradley! Youâre willing to use your real enemy just to win this lawsuit!â she thought.
Unfortunately, Esther lacked sufficient evidence to accuse Liliane despite the latter admitting in Felixâs hospital room that she had removed Thomasâ oxygen mask Liliane gazed at the visibly flustered Esther and firmly said, âYes.â
