âCongratulations, you got it right.â
Liliane exclaimed, âBoss, have you already found a suitable liver donor?â
âMandy, some questions arenât for you to ask. Understand?â
When Liliane first heard someone call her âMandyâ, she felt dazed and uncertain. Over time, she grew accustomed to her new identity and name.
âWatch the news.â X dropped these three words and hung up.
Liliane, not understanding, turned on the television. The program playing was Frontline Scoop.
âAccording to our reporter, a woman, unable to bear the impact of her disfigurement, set fire to her apartment early this morningâ¦â
Liliane stared at the TV, and her heart was gripped by an icy chill when she saw the video footage displayed. The person who had died in the apartment fire was her-Liliane Anstey.
At that moment, a wave of fear washed over her. She did not know who X was but understood he had severed all her escape routes. From now on, she could no longer be Liliane Anstey-she had to become Mandy Pendleton.
Liliane slumped onto the couch, watching the news report about her own death until it transitioned to the next news story.
Her phoneâs notification light blinked. When she checked, it was a message from X [Congratulations on your new life.]
Liliane understood everything she had done was under Xâs surveillance. She had become a tool for him.
When she had made the deal with him five years ago, she had already reached a point of no return.
The news of Lilianeâs death on Frontline Scoop was shared on social media platforms back in the country.
Netizens flooded the platforms with comments celebrating her death. After all, it was Liliane who had disconnected Thomasâ oxygen mask and even pinned everything on Esther. Such an evildoerâs death was a cause for celebration.
Meanwhile, Esther received a call from the local police station, notifying her of Lilianeâs passing. They requested her presence to claim Lilianeâs body.
In the past, Esther might have believed that Lilianeâs death had resolved everything. She may have even considered the noble act of caring for Lilianeâs body and arranging her burial abroad.
However, due to the threat posed by Chadwick, she had no time or energy to spare for Lilianeâs life or death.
It was the same RV from their previous meeting.
Esther once again sat across from Chadwick Chadwick poured her a cup of tea, and the refreshing aroma filled the confined space. âEsther, have you considered it?â
Once Esther thought about Bradleyâs hand wrapped in bandages, worry would cloud her beautiful eyes.
âMr. Pendleton, I know you want to marry me not because you love me but because you want to humiliate Bradley and torture me.â
Chadwick took a sip of tea. âEsther, youâve misunderstood me.â
Estherâs gaze, filled with irony, met Chadwickâs nauseating face. âAre you sure itâs a misunderstanding?â she asked coldly.
âI want to humiliate Bradley, thatâs true. But torturing you is false!â
Chadwick understood that his previous threat involving Bradley had been effective, as Esther had taken the initiative to meet with him again.
He reclined in his seat and stated, âThe primary reason is that I heard youâre in good health and can have three children at once. I thought I could borrow your womb to ensure my familyâs legacy for my old man!â
