My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 270
Who were her children bothering by being alive? Why did they have to tell her that her children died from difficult childbirth?Shane's dark gaze fell upon Bradley's handsome face, and a malicious intent flashed in his eyes. His words added insult to injury to the already fragile relationship between Esther and Bradley."Mrs. Warner, you shouldn't be asking me this question. You should be asking Mr. Warner who's by your side," Shane said.Esther looked at Bradley in astonishment, earnestly trying to discern the truth behind Shane's words.However, Bradley remained unfazed, choosing not to refute or explain. He simply accepted the accusations with silence.Esther's heart sank into the icy depths of the ocean. She opened her mouth but realized she had nothing left to say to Bradley.Upon learning the truth from five years ago, Esther let out a bitter smile, feeling as though a heavy burden had been lifted. She walked toward the other end of the deck alone, with Clark hurrying to fo

Clark stood silently by Esther's side, at a loss for how to persuade her to trust Bradley again."If Mr. Thomas were still alive and could see Felix, Tinkerbell, and Pixie, he would be pleased," Clark said.Bradley remained cold and indifferent. Despite its grandeur, the Warner Manor lacked warmth until Esther married into the family. Over time, the manor gained a cozy and homely atmosphere.Thomas had been particularly fond of Esther, fearing that Bradley's coldness and arrogance would drive Esther away. Clark had always believed that Esther would never leave Bradley, as her love for him was unwavering.But now, Clark understood Esther's current state of mind. She no longer loved Bradley, and perhaps she no longer wanted him, either.Could a woman's heart, once turned cold, be warmed again?"Grandpa Thomas was the best grandfather in the world," Esther said.When the viral video portrayed her as betraying Bradley, only Thomas had believed and supported her. He had tirelessly so

"Esther? Esther?" Kevin called out.Knowing how important Felix was to Bradley, Kevin personally supported Bradley and brought him to the room to use a stethoscope and check his condition."Bradley, I understand you're anxious about Felix's situation, but rushing things won't help," Kevin said, seeing Bradley's gloomy expression.Sensing the need to change the subject, Kevin asked, "What are you planning to do with Shane?""Leave it to Chief Zigler," Bradley replied.Bradley made a phone call to Joseph and sent him a copy of Shane's confession video. He entrusted the rest, including how Shane would face legal judgment, to the police chief."Right." Kevin responded coldly. "There's no need for you to dirty your hands with someone like him!"Bradley instinctively looked at his fingers—long, fair, and slender.When Felix was young, he used to play with Bradley's fingers and ask, "Daddy, when will my hands grow this big?" in his childish voice. Bradley's mind was now filled with th

Kevin looked at Esther and Bradley with a confused and worried expression on his handsome face. He spoke gently. "Bradley, you should talk to her nicely."Kevin didn't want to interfere too much in the matter between Bradley and Esther. He gave Esther a look and slowly walked away, leaving the two of them alone.The night was dark and cool, resembling the calmness of the water. In the distance, the sea shimmered as the rescue team continued their search for Felix.Esther's beautiful face, resembling porcelain, was concealed in the darkness, while Bradley's gaze held a hint of aggression.Esther would have been hurt and taken a step back in the past, but now, she calmly looked at Bradley and flatly said, "Mr. Warner, I believe I don't need to remind you that we've already signed the divorce papers."A cold light flickered in Bradley's eyes.Esther suddenly smiled and took a step forward, grabbing Bradley's collar. She brought her red lips close to his handsome face and sneered. "O

"Esther, be good. Don't force me! Understand?"...Liliane's physical condition was extremely poor. Even Scott, a renowned cardiac surgeon, knew that each day Liliane managed to survive was like snatching luck from the clutches of the Grim Reaper.Uncertainty crept into Billy's mind when he saw the photo of Liliane standing with Shane, despite his insistence that Liliane was his daughter.A nurse, holding a lab report, approached Billy and said, "Bed 48, your test results are here."Taking the lab report, Billy struggled to understand the meaning behind the numbers. Before the nurse left, he quickly asked, "Miss, why did I have diarrhea?"The nurse looked puzzled and replied, "Didn't you take the laxatives yourself? Even if you were constipated, you shouldn't take random medication!"Billy clutched the lab report, a sudden realization striking him as he recalled the glass of milk Leah had brought him that morning.At that time, he had been immersed in the joy of Liliane's weddi

Back in university, among all the men who pursued her, Leah couldn't help but wonder why she had chosen the seemingly useless Billy Anstey. Perhaps it was solely because his family had some assets, and she had tricked him into falling for her.Over the years, while Leah observed the other men thriving in their careers, Billy struggled to maintain Anstey Group and lacked the courage to expand its business territory."Leah, were you playing me from the beginning?" Billy asked indignantly.With her hands handcuffed, Leah disdainfully brushed aside the hair on her forehead and replied softly, "Yes, nothing happened between us that night."Billy's pale face, already drained due to his diarrhea, turned even paler as he murmured in disbelief, "Why me?""Because you're a fool with money!" Leah boldly revealed her true intentions to Billy."I really didn't expect you to be this stupid! Look at yourself. How could such a naive son come from clever parents like yours?" Leah's expression was

Leah quickly denied, "That's impossible."Billy shrugged and said, "Since Shane dared to lay a finger on Bradley's son, do you think Bradley wouldn't retaliate? Besides, Bradley claimed that Felix is Esther's child. You and Liliane stole Felix from the prison with Shane's help, right? Isn't that child trafficking? The legal department of the Warner Group is known for its aggressiveness. Both of you will end up spending the rest of your lives in prison, you despicable scum!"Billy was in a great mood, while Leah's mood was in stark contrast.What should she do?She had initially thought that as long as Shane took care of things secretly, she would have nothing to fear, even if she ended up in prison.But if something happened to Shane, she would have to face prison. She had heard that it involved hard labor. After living a life of luxury for so many years, she could count on one hand the number of times she had stepped into the kitchen. How could she endure life in prison?And wha

Billy, played by Leah, witnessed her unrestrained animosity toward him, revealing her malicious intentions without restraint."You're truly laughable. Did you actually think that the deaths of those two old folks were mere accidents all this time?"Billy never imagined Leah could be so vile. Ignoring his own image, he angrily raised his hand and slapped Leah across the face."Leah Walpole, do you even possess a shred of humanity? Hadn't my parents been treating you well since we got married, despite their opposing opinions before our marriage? If only you had an ounce of conscience..."Leah stuck out her tongue and licked the blood at the corner of her mouth. She viciously retorted, "If they truly treated me well, would they have secretly conducted a DNA paternity test behind my back?"They even said that if I agreed to give birth to a second child for you, they wouldn't pursue the matter regarding Liliane. They even claimed that the Anstey Group would belong to my son if we had a

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
