Bradley gazed at Esther, her tears flowing like broken pearls. His heart burned with searing pain, causing him to instinctively step back.

Without Bradley's restraint, Esther immediately sat up on the desk. She lowered her head and carefully examined the woman in the video, comparing every detail of her eyes, lips, and nose to hers. They were exactly the same.

Suddenly, Esther also noticed that the woman in the video did not have the small red mole on her collarbone that she always had. She hastily thrust the phone screen in front of Bradley's face, eagerly defending herself word by word. "Bradley, look closely. The woman in the video is not me!"

Bradley forcefully snatched the phone from Esther's hand and mocked icily, "Esther, look carefully, this is your face..."

"No, it's not me." Esther could not control her tears and meekly explained, "Look, I have a small red mole here, but the woman in the video doesn't."

Esther pointed to the red mole on her collarbone, her eyes filled wi

    Esther walked mechanically to the shower head in the bathroom, letting cold water pour down from above. She repeatedly applied shower gel to her body and vigorously rubbed every inch of her skin. She knew very well that the woman in the video was not her, but for everyone else, the woman in the video was her.Esther felt as if her body had been smeared with eternal, irreparable filth. She squatted under the shower, scrubbing with all her might, as if only by doing so could she make her body clean and pure.Bradley heard the rushing sound of water from the bathroom and walked to the door with some concern, intending to knock, but he silently withdrew his hand.Half an hour passed.The sound of water continued running inside the bathroom.Bradley lightly knocked on the door and called her name, "Esther."No response came from the bathroom.Bradley knocked forcefully several times on the glass door of the bathroom."Esther?"Still, there was no answer.Without reason, Bradley be

    Since Esther fainted, the psychologist could not conduct a psychological assessment of her right away. However, as a woman, she had eyes and could see the fresh red marks on Esther's arms.In order to better treat Esther, the psychologist had also looked into the relationship between Esther and Bradley last night. After the research, the psychologist believed that the person responsible for causing Esther's severe psychological illness was none other than Bradley himself. This man had pushed Esther step by step into an irreparable abyss."Mr. Warner, weren't you... fine with each other?" Clark and Felix, having seen them intimate on the desk, had assumed they had already made up after their fight.Bradley glanced at Melinda, his voice cold as he said, "Take Felix down to the garden."Felix refused to leave, seeing Esther, who was on the verge of death. He held her hand tightly and asserted himself, "I'm not going anywhere."Clark doted on Felix and indulged him even more. However,

    Once Clark thought of the content of the voice recorder, he retorted in a deep voice, "Mr. Bradley, did you see it with your own eyes? Did you hear Madam's confession with your own ears? If that video could be fabricated, then why couldn't the video of Madam removing Mr. Thomas' oxygen mask be fabricated?""Clark, why do you believe her so much?" Bradley could not understand why his grandfather believed her after everything had happened. Clark believed her too. When everyone in the world was condemning and berating her, they still firmly believed in her."Because she's worthy of our trust," said Clark. His voice slowed down, earnestly pleading, "Mr. Bradley, please allow me to reinvestigate the truth from five years ago."Bradley coldly replied, "Do as you wish."Clark thought of the recording again and wondered what if the investigation revealed a connection to Liliane. By that time, Bradley would have already married her, and the investigation would be in vain."Mr. Bradley, giv

    'Sorry. If I could've calmed down, listened to your explanation back then, and believed that you never betrayed me, perhaps my grandfather wouldn't have had the accident while seeking the truth.'Bradley ran his fingers through Esther's hair. The contrast between the dark strands and his porcelain-like fingers was dazzling.The hairdryer buzzed.A deep sense of guilt surged in Bradley's heart.Esther had saved him when he was young—she was his lifesaver.If he had known that Esther was his lifesaver back then during their marriage, would their relationship have turned out differently and not fraught with conflict?For the first time, Bradley blew dry a woman's hair. With his lack of skill, he ended up creating small tangles instead of making it smooth.After using his fingers to untangle the knots, Bradley leaned closer to Esther, meticulously smoothing out the tangled hair, strand by strand.His profile was exceptionally handsome, while his attitude was strict and serious.Th

    After a prolonged period, the hospital room remained engulfed in silence.Clark's phone rang, and he quietly left the ward after a glance at the device.Felix sat obediently across from Bradley inside the room, both of them guarding the unconscious Esther on either side."Daddy, can I read Mommy a story?" asked Felix.Bradley remained silent, so Felix took it as his consent. He picked up a storybook and narrated the story cutely and innocently.However, Bradley's gaze fell on the various nutritious breakfast dishes bathed in the morning light. From what he remembered, Esther was a dainty young lady who did no chores. When did she start learning to make these delicious meals?Although Bradley had not tasted them, he could feel the thoughtfulness put into them just by glancing at them. The balanced nutrition and color coordination were comparable to those of top restaurants.His gaze shifted from the array of breakfast items back to the wound on Esther's wrist. What had she experi

    Despite Bradley's grip on Felix, the young boy managed to free himself and rushed into Esther's arms. Without any shyness, he kissed her cheek tenderly, his small hands gently cradling her face while tears welled up in his eyes. In a choked voice, he uttered, "Mommy, I thought you didn't want me anymore.""That's not true." Esther reached out and tightly embraced Felix, their foreheads touching and their noses brushing against each other. "Even if Mommy doesn't want the whole world, Mommy will always want you.""Mommy…" Felix called out in a soft voice.Bradley turned around and entered the study. He threw a white shirt from the wardrobe to Esther before forcefully lifting Felix from Esther's embrace."Daddy..." Felix exclaimed as his body was lifted into the air."Change your clothes," said Bradley.Only then did Esther realize that her current state was not suitable for such closeness with Felix. She watched Bradley carry Felix away in his arms and felt a slight warmth in her h

    "Sure!" Felix held Esther's hand and led her out of the hospital confidently.Esther's outfit looked great, but... under normal circumstances, how could a woman be wearing a man's shirt? Upon seeing Esther and Bradley, most women could not help but exchange knowing smiles. There were also a few men who smirked teasingly when they saw Esther.Bradley's icy gaze swept past them with a hint of warning, causing the men to instantly lower their heads as if they had not seen anything. Seeing some men ogling Esther with those indecent looks along the way, Bradley could not help but take off his coat and forcefully drape it over Esther's shoulders."Put it on!"Esther was bewildered. Before she could refuse, Felix took the initiative to complain, "Daddy, it's so ugly!""Put it on!" Bradley's tone was cold and firm.Esther had no choice but to wear Bradley's suit and go to the nearby shopping mall.Actually, more people looked at Esther like this.As the family of three arrived at the m

    Nestled in Esther's arms, Felix's little face contorted with anger as he glared at the sales assistant. His expression resembled that of a small tyrannosaurus rex as if he were ready to breathe fire at any moment."Manners?" The sales assistant sneered as she looked at the suit on Esther, "A woman like you who just crawled out of another man's bed has the audacity to talk about manners?"Esther's expression turned cold and indifferent. She glanced at the condescending sales assistant and said indifferently, "Is this the professionalism of your brand's sales assistant?"The sales assistant crossed her arms and pushed Esther and Felix, coldly saying, "Get lost. I don't want your business.""The one who should leave is you!" Felix popped his head out of Esther's arms, looking cute and fierce. "This mall belongs to our family."Esther remained silent.Felix poked his head out and called out to Bradley, "Daddy, someone's bullying me and Mommy!" Hearing Felix's call, Bradley walked g

    Bradley's brazen words made Gabriel raise an eyebrow, and his scrutinizing gaze on Bradley intensified.Unfazed by Gabriel, Bradley calmly stated, "Mr. Sinclair, when I visited Shane recently, he handed me some video footage. It showed Esther being assaulted and abused in prison, with the perpetrators claiming it was my order. I've always dared to own up to my actions. What I've done, I won't shirk from. What I haven't done, I won't admit."Gabriel had seen the videos online. Even though Bradley had obscured the protagonist's face in the footage, he knew it was Esther. He had believed entrusting Esther to Thomas would ensure her safety, only to discover how fate twisted things."Bradley, I'll assume your words are true," Gabriel began. "Then tell me, if those people who assaulted Esther in prison weren't influenced by someone else, who put her in prison? Have you forgotten how you, in your irrational madness, expected a woman carrying your children to pay the price? Or do you believ

    When Bradley brought up his grandfather again, he felt utterly unfilial as a grandson."Your grandfather's greatest wish before he passed was for you and Esther to live peacefully and happily. Sadly, all he witnessed was discord and enmity between you as a couple."Gabriel understood better than anyone that Bradley, in his youthful arrogance, felt that everything and everyone should conform to his desires. When Thomas compelled Bradley to marry Esther, almost like an arranged marriage, his rebellious nature surfaced."I've failed my grandfather's hopes," Bradley admitted with a bitter taste in his mouth.During quiet, solitary nights, he revisited memories of the past repeatedly.He hadn't desired that marriage back then. However, since he had promised his grandfather to marry Esther, he should have genuinely treated her as a wife.Despite the subsequent events not aligning with his wishes, he was painfully aware that if he hadn't been arrogant and unwilling to listen to Esther's

    Esther wasn't pleasant toward Bradley. If she had evidence, she would gladly send him to prison to experience the joy of life behind bars.Bradley gazed blankly at Esther's stunning face, a hint of indescribable sorrow in his eyes. Those deep eyes resembled a chilly cold spring."Not only do you want to chop off my hand, but you also want my life, right?"Esther gestured a slice across her neck at Bradley with her hand, then turned away to tell Logan, "Let's go. Don't waste time on this.""Okay."With languid steps, Esther walked into the elevator. Once they were inside, the elevator doors shut.Outside the elevator, Bradley watched Esther and Logan like they were two puzzle pieces that matched perfectly. Instantly, he felt an unbearable heartache, as if his heart was being torn apart.He instinctively reached out to steady himself against the wall, observing the numbers on the elevator panel decrease until it stopped at the ground floor.It took a while before Bradley recovere

    Throughout the entire night, neither Esther nor Logan had shut their eyes.Feeling their eyes strain, they applied eye drops. It wasn't until Esther noticed someone who shouldn't have been there on the surveillance footage."Logan, take a look at this."Perplexed, Logan asked, "What's going on?""Do you think this person looks like Shirley?"Esther was particularly sharp in discerning a woman's physique. She could immediately tell that the woman being supported by a man due to her intoxication bore a striking resemblance to Shirley."Let me see."Logan zoomed in on the surveillance footage, carefully comparing it with the footage containing Shirley. Physically, the two women indeed looked very similar.There was just one question... How would they confirm if she was Shirley?"Esther, stay here and keep watching the surveillance. I'll retrieve other surveillance footage.""Okay."Logan and Esther divided their tasks. Suspecting that the intoxicated woman might be Shirley, Est

    Logan and Esther exchanged a glance. They fixed their intense gazes on Jason's face, unable to discern if he was smirking or provoking them."Mr. Taft, the evidence you seek will come."Jason scoffed. He seemed to transform into a different person as he put his glasses back on."Even if Shirley deceived me, I never wished harm upon her, let alone her death."I can consider your suspicions toward me as part of the investigation, but I hope that once everything is revealed, you can restore my innocence."I've said my piece. As long as Shirley hasn't divorced me, she remains my wife. I am obliged to cooperate in the investigation, and I hope you find her soon."Logan and Esther sensed something amiss with the first confrontation. They didn't say anything untoward until they exited the elevator and looked up at Jason's balcony outside.Jason stood on the balcony, looking at Logan and Esther and waving toward them.Logan and Esther looked at Jason before they turned and got into the

    "She blocked me on all forms of contact at that time. I even tried contacting her through my colleagues' phones but found out she had blocked them, too. I thought she might be angry, so we should both calm down."Logan didn't speak and just listened quietly as Jason recounted the events of the case."I was angry that she blocked me. At my age, what's wrong with wanting a child? My parents were pushing for it, and I wondered if this marriage was what I wanted."Shirley is very beautiful. My friends and classmates say I'm lucky to have married her, but they don't know that beauty comes at a price."While my colleagues were buying properties, my wife kept changing bags. Her clothes, skincare products, shoes—everything was designer. To support her lifestyle, I work diligently, even taking extra freelance jobs to afford it."I thought I was a good husband and just wanted a child. What did I do wrong? If she had said that she didn't want a child after marriage in the first place, it wou

    Gabriel took a long look at Esther, realizing more than anyone that Esther seemed to be heading toward a different extreme now. He wasn't certain if this shift in Esther's demeanor was good or bad.However, one thing was clear to him—the intersection of Esther and Bradley's lives resembled two lines crossing. After intersecting, they would drift further apart."Esther, you can investigate Bradley's criminal evidence. I won't object to that," Gabriel said with a stern face, emphasizing, "But ensure you complete your tasks on time and with quality.""Grandpa Gabriel, rest assured, I won't neglect my work."Gabriel nodded. "Go on then.""Alright." Esther stepped out of the office and approached Logan. "We can set off now.""Okay."Logan didn't inquire about Esther's conversation with Gabriel. Although they pretended to be engaged, Logan maintained a respectful distance from Esther. He wouldn't interfere much in her matters. However, he was aware that if she needed his help, he woul

    Gabriel stated, "According to her husband, they argued before she went missing. He assumed she had returned to her parents' home and didn't inquire further since they often had cold spells for ten days to half a month. Their relatives and friends can testify to this."However, the cold spell extended to a month this time, which alarmed him. When he called her parents, they told him his wife never went home."Esther knew that the husband was often the first suspect when the wife went missing in cases like this."The wife bought a high-speed train ticket to her parents' home but didn't take the train back. The police traced her taking a ride-hailing car, and the driver claimed to have dropped her off on the street. The dashcam recording is proof. However, after that point, there's a blind spot in the surveillance footage. Usually, surveillance is kept for a certain period and gets overwritten after that."Logan asked, "What about the investigation on the missing woman's husband?""T

    Esther rose, fixating on the distant scenery with clear eyes. "As long as he commits a crime, he'll leave traces."Logan was on the verge of speaking but was interrupted by the sudden ring of his phone."Hello, Mr. Sinclair."Gabriel's voice sounded grave. "There's a new lead.""Alright, we'll be right there."Logan stood up, turning to Esther. "We'll meet at the locker room entrance in ten minutes.""Is there a new development?""Yes."For most girls, ten minutes might not suffice even for basic grooming. For Esther, it was just right. The only issue was her long hair. Time was too short, and she lacked the opportunity to blow-dry it. Her damp hair draped over her shoulders, slightly soaking her T-shirt.Logan kept his eyes on the road. "I'll drive. You can use a towel to dry your hair.""Okay."As Logan drove, Esther sat in the car, patting her hair dry with a towel. Her hair was thick, posing a challenge to dry with just a towel.Nevertheless, Esther refrained from openi
