Due to their proximity, Xara and Esther decided not to drive. As they walked together on the street, they made a beautiful sight.

While crossing a traffic light, a speeding car suddenly lost control and veered toward them. Unfortunately, Esther couldn't dodge in time due to her high heels.

Xara reacted swiftly and pulled Esther with her and rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding a fatal collision. As the car was about to hit them again, the lackey who had been tracking Esther panicked and accelerated, crashing into the car.

Esther and Xara sustained superficial wounds, but Esther sprained her ankle due to her high heels.

"Esther, are you alright?" Xara asked softly.

Esther muttered, "I think I sprained my ankle."

Glancing at Esther's foot, Xara confirmed the sprain, though it wasn't severe.

"Don't worry. It's not a serious injury. Just wait here for a moment. I'll call for assistance to take you to the hospital."

A plump woman emerged from the car that had been intentionally c

    When Bradley heard what Scott said, he asked coldly, "What's going on?""I suspect Mrs. Warner may be in danger, but I don't have all the details..."Bradley immediately recalled previous incidents involving Esther and asked angrily, "Tell me!""Mr. Warner, it's urgent, and I don't have time to explain fully. Please come to the hospital quickly."After ending the call, Scott started recording a video on his phone and headed to Wilson's office.Conducting a body check on Esther was a minor task that didn't require Wilson's constant presence. He could give instructions, and his assistants and interns would handle it.Scott called out, "Wilson."Wilson glanced at Esther's recent heart examination report and said with slight guilt, "Scott, have a seat."Scott sat down and asked directly, skipping pleasantries, "The patient I just operated on, she has congenital heart disease, right?"Wilson knew that the fabricated data could only deceive those who hadn't seen Liliane's real condi

    "Yes," Scott replied. He was caught off guard when Wilson suddenly snatched a nearby flower vase and brutally smashed it onto the back of his head.Holding his bleeding head, Scott clutched Wilson's hand. His eyes filled with disbelief as consciousness slipped away."You won't die. I was careful with my strike, but I'm going to perform the surgery," Wilson declared.After placing Scott on the sofa, Wilson settled into his office chair, picked up his phone, and began arranging for the surgery.He reviewed Esther and Liliane's heart data. Their compatibility was 87%, not a perfect match, but still suitable for a heart transplant with potential complications.Wilson expected progress in his artificial heart research within six months. Then, he could replace Liliane's damaged heart with an artificial one in Esther's chest."It's me. Prepare the operating room. Surgery will start immediately," Wilson instructed on the phone.Wilson felt guilty seeing Scott had lost a lot of blood and

    Bradley brutally punched Wilson, sending him crashing to the floor. Wilson sprawled on the floor, desperately trying to defend himself. "She's a murderer..."What use was there for a murderer? She was a product of an illicit affair, a love child. Her very existence was tainted with sin. And to harm Thomas, who had treated her as his own, was unforgivable. Such a wicked woman was a drain on society, better off serving as an organ donor to help others.Bradley stared down at Wilson with a stern gaze, demanding, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"Knowing Wilson's unwavering loyalty to Leah, he would never betray her. Wilson simply confessed, "No one ordered me! It was my own doing..."Just as Bradley was about to strike again, the police intervened."Mr. Warner, he will face legal consequences for his actions. You don't need to dirty your hands," said the police officer.The police lifted Wilson from the floor like a lifeless carcass. Wilson had pondered the consequences of expo

    Scott confidently presented the medical records Bradley had given him earlier, stating, "Liliane's heart condition is indeed congenital. It's impossible for her to have children."Bradley's eyes widened in shock."Mr. Warner, Liliane's genuine medical records should be at the hospital. You can obtain them there," Scott asserted.With certainty, Scott continued. "Based on my observations and Wilson's confirmation, Liliane's heart condition is undoubtedly congenital. Girls with congenital heart condition like Liliane cannot have children or engage in intimate relationships..."Bradley had never suspected that Liliane was deceiving him. He never imagined that she would use a child obtained elsewhere to impersonate his son!What made it even more despicable was that he had lost his own daughter because of this illegitimate child."Scott, take care and get some rest," Bradley said, sending Scott's secretly recorded video to his phone.A chilling aura emanated from Bradley's deep eyes

    "I approve your resignation, but please take care of her for the time being," Bradley said, considering various candidates in his mind and realizing that he could trust Esther only to Xara in the end. "The bodyguards are stationed outside the door. If you need anything, you can inform them."Xara glanced at Esther, who was in a similar state, and silently nodded, biting her lip.Once Bradley had made the arrangements for Esther, he called the hospital's director to request Liliane's medical records. He also wanted to personally meet Wilson, the one who had attempted murder in the name of medicine.Liliane's digital medical records and previous examination reports landed in Bradley's hands. Due to the specialized nature of the information, he could only pass these documents to Scott and ask him to carefully review all the details.Meanwhile, Wilson had been arrested!Leah was in a state of panic. She dreaded the possibility of Wilson revealing the truth that Liliane had never been

    Shane should have dug Esther's heart and transplanted it to his daughter straightaway back when Esther was in the prison hospital giving birth.'It is fine. We can take it slow,' he thought.Shane would eventually get Esther's heart for his daughter.-The news of Wilson performing live heart extractions quickly spread throughout the hospital, causing panic among some patients. They feared they might have been subjected to unethical practices during their hospital stay. Requests for discharge flooded in as patients sought to escape any potential harm.The hospital administration was deeply troubled by the scandal, as it had severely damaged their reputation and would undoubtedly lead to numerous inquiries from concerned patients. The entire hospital was enveloped in an atmosphere of unease and uncertainty.The hospital administration desperately hoped that Bradley would not pursue the matter further, and they were willing to comply with any demands he had.-Meanwhile, Bradley

    Wilson seethed with helpless anger as he sat tied to a chair. He yearned to attack Bradley and end it all, but he knew it was just a hopeless daydream.As Liliane's long-time doctor, Wilson knew her family's troubles well. With a wicked grin, he aimed to exploit Bradley's weakness."Mr. Warner, is this how you protect your beloved?" He sneered. "Or is it that the mighty Mr. Warner has fallen for a murderer? Esther... She killed your grandfather. It was because of her that he died..."Wilson's maniacal laughter filled the air. "That wretched Esther deserves to die!"Wilson's words pierced Bradley's heart like venom. He took a step forward, gripping Wilson's chin forcefully.Wilson felt his jaw straining as if Bradley could shatter his bones at any moment."Birch, my wife is not to be spoken ill of by anyone," Bradley declared with a crazed expression. His deep eyes burned with a fierce determination to kill. "Whether she lives or dies is my decision!"Wilson chuckled cryptically

    "Wilson, when you pursued me back then, it was to salvage decades of hard work."When you were young, your goals were success and fame, but as you grew older, you wanted to rekindle an old flame."I didn't mention, ask, or talk about it, not because I'm naive. I pretended to be oblivious for the sake of giving our son a complete family!"Sarah looked at her son and calmly said, "Take a good look. This is your father. He's the one who has put you in such a miserable situation for the sake of reuniting with his young love.""What are you talking about..." Wilson panicked. Despite his wrongdoing, he still wanted to be respected and admired by his son."You can do it, but I can't say anything?" With sorrow and anger, Sarah asked, "When you broke the law for that woman, did you think about your son? Did you think about what he would go through at school when the truth came out? He would be isolated, mocked, and even bullied! Since you never thought about us, I've come here today to tel

    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
