Clark thought that he was only fulfilling Felix’s wish to stargaze on the rooftop, only to hear something
so shocking.
“Mr. Felix, why… Why would you think so?”
Felix and Bradley had done a DNA paternity test, which confirmed they were really father and son.
“You’ll understand after you listen to this, Grandpaw Clark.”
Felix, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Clark with a serious expression.
Clark transferred the content of the pen recorder to his phone and listened to the voice recording with
his Bluetooth earphones.
He could easily recognize that the voices of the two women in the recording were Esther and Liliane.
“Liliane, do you know that you and Bradley are the people I hate the most in this world?”
“Liliane, unless you tell the truth from five years ago or I… I’ll die with you and your son today.”
“Yes, I was the one who removed Grandpa Thomas’ oxygen mask five years ago.”
“Esther, you just wanted to know how I managed to lie to everyone back then, right?”
“Even if you force me to tell you the truth you want to know, Brad still won’t believe it.”
“Esther, do you want to know how that old b*stard died?”
“Back then, I yanked that old b*stard’s oxygen mask like this too.”
“Liliane, whose child is Felix?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Esther, Felix is actually your and Bradley’s biological son!”
Two voices alternated in Clark’s ears. His expression froze instantly, especially when he heard Liliane
confess that Felix was Esther and Bradley’s son.
“Mr. Felix, did you tell anyone about the recorder?” Clark’s mood was extremely complicated. He heard
Liliane admit with his own ears that she had unplugged Thomas’ oxygen mask five years ago.
Five years ago, Esther had denied the crime.
It was just that the person who had appeared in the surveillance video was indeed Esther.
If… the person who had unplugged Thomas’ oxygen mask five years ago was not Esther but Liliane,
Esther would have been wrongly imprisoned for five years!?
Moreover, what about Felix being Esther and Bradley’s son?
Grandpaw Clark, Daddy’s going to marry her!” Felix looked up at the starry sky above his head with
extreme sadness. “Can you help me?”
Clark held the recorder tightly. He was older than Felix and was the one who had watched Bradley
grow up. He understood Bradley better than anyone else.
Without solid evidence, he could not prove that Thomas’ death was related to Liliane based solely on
the content in the recorder. Even if it was indeed Liliane who had done it five years ago, she could
easily argue that she had confessed to such a crime at that time for the safety of Felix.
Unless he could find evidence of Liliane’s actions five years ago.
What about Felix?
Clark carefully recalled the scene when Felix came to the Warners. That day, Liliane’s mother brought
him to the Warners’ manor, claiming he was Bradley’s son.
