My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 441
Steffan's dark blue eyes flickered with a hint of mockery. He subtly lifted his proud chin and replied in a cold tone, "Certainly.""Good," Xara responded, her voice hoarse. She then looked toward the bathroom door in the study. "Shall we move to the bathroom?""We shall."Xara entered the bathroom first. She turned on the faucet and washed her hands meticulously. Her mind flooded with memories of everything that had happened in that bathroom. She took a deep breath and splashed cold water on her face to calm herself.Then she called to Steffan, who was sitting on the sofa, "I'm ready. You can come in now."Steffan stood up gracefully and walked slowly into the bathroom. Xara felt incredibly awkward as she reached out to close the door behind him. Once the door was shut, she turned to Steffan and asked in surprise, "You're just going to stand there?""Or what!?" Steffan retorted.Xara had no reply. She truly came across a real piece of work. 'I'll endure this,' she thought.Xar

Xara hesitated briefly before elegantly taking a seat next to Esther. She placed a napkin on her lap. The dining room atmosphere turned strangely awkward. As a guest, Esther felt uncertain about alleviating the tension.At that moment, Sunshine approached, her hands and shoes clean. Without any assistance from servants, she skillfully climbed onto her chair. She then reached out her chubby little hand toward Jacob."Jacob, smell my hand. Isn't it fragrant?"Without a second thought, Jacob replied, "Yes, it is."Seeing that everyone was present, Steffan folded the newspaper in his hand and uttered indifferently, "Serve the dishes.""Yes," the servants replied promptly, relaying the message to the kitchen through the intercom.In a matter of moments, uniformed servants brought an array of dishes to the dining room. The table was adorned with exotic delicacies from around the world, while child-friendly meals were placed near Sunshine and Felix. Their eyes widened excitedly as they

"Leave Sunshine here with me then." Xara figured that since Jacob cherished Sunshine so much, her presence might help bridge their distance."Xara, I want to bring Sunshine back to my country, but her custody is with the church. I need to consult with Anna about whether I can get custody from the church," Esther said.Xara pondered for a moment and then urged, "Try asking her now."Esther took out her phone and called Anna. She explained her intention to bring Sunshine back to her country.Upon hearing that, Anna responded with a heavy tone. "Esther, I was about to call you as well. The church informed me that someone wants to adopt Sunshine.""What? Adoption? That's not acceptable!" Esther was resolute. Sunshine's adoption was out of the question for her. Her concern stemmed from the possibility of the church engaging in illegal organ trade while presenting it as an adoption. This concern was amplified by Sunshine's young age and recent heart surgery."Esther, the legal custody

Steffan was quite a sentimental man. He was still using the same phone number he had five years ago."Steffan, it's me. Can we talk about adopting Sunshine..."Esther added from the side, "And Twinkle..."Steffan's light, mocking tone reached Esther's ears. "Xara, you couldn't even be a good mother to your own son. Now you want to be a mother to others?"Xara's pretty face flushed with shame. "Steffan, Esther only wants us to adopt them in name. It's not like we are really adopting them—"Before Xara could finish her sentence, Steffan coldly interrupted her. "Has Jacob agreed?"Xara was momentarily startled, her grip tightening on the phone as she sought Jacob's opinion."Jacob, can we temporarily help Esther adopt Twinkle and Sunshine?"Esther was also watching Jacob anxiously. "Jacob, I'm begging you..." she said pleadingly."I agree."Those two words from Jacob were like music to Esther and Xara's ears."Thank you, Jacob." Esther was incredibly grateful. Jacob was truly a

Esther wasn't aware of Xara and Steffan's history, but she understood that should Felix fall ill, she'd have to bear another child to save him. Even returning to the man she despised for Felix's sake wasn't off the table."I would," she affirmed.Xara asked, "Even after how he's treated you?"Esther looked at Xara intently, sharing her thoughts. "As I watch you right now, Xara, you know what I'm considering? Learning self-defense, maybe becoming stronger. If the time comes, I'll knock Bradley out. After all, I just need his contribution, not him personally."And if that doesn't work, I'll try a different approach. Bradley's attractive, and his stamina is good. I'll treat him like a vibrator without any emotional attachment."Xara couldn't help but chuckle at Esther's words, her hand covering her mouth. "Esther, your perspective is certainly unique," she commented, amused.Esther lifted the wine glass before her, taking a sip. "During the time Bradley held me captive, these very t

"Mommyy!"Each time Felix called "Mommy," it was always straightforward. When Sunshine called "Mommy," she always extended the last syllable. Esther could easily distinguish who was calling out to her."My darlings, have you been waiting long?"Sunshine replied in a sweet and soft voice, "Nope!"Esther pointed to the bathroom, ruffled the hair of the two adorable children, and said gently, "I'm going to take a shower. We'll chat later, alright?""Okay."When Esther came out of the shower, Felix had fallen asleep. As a boy, Felix often played vigorously during the day. Once his energy was spent, he would sleep early in the evening."Sunshine, what book are you reading?" Esther sat down next to Sunshine.Sunshine snuggled into Esther's arms like a clingy kitten. "Mommy, you smell so nice!"Esther saw that Sunshine was reading "The Magic School Bus", so she joined Sunshine and began reading the picture book with her."Sunshine, Anna and I are not yet qualified to adopt you. I pl

The entire "Frontline Scoop" crew faced suppression from unknown forces, and the team was completely overhauled.Alice was tactfully demoted to the head of a shopping channel with incredibly poor ratings. This meant she could no longer investigate the illegal organ trade case, and her exclusive report on the matter was overshadowed by more explosive news.Fewer people were interested in the illegal organ trade investigation as they were drawn to more exciting stories.Alice had never anticipated that her work would expose such sensitive interests of certain individuals. After much contemplation, she reluctantly accepted her job transfer and put all matters related to the illegal organ trade on hold.However, upon receiving Esther's message, Alice carefully considered her options before finally deciding to call her and arrange a meeting at the Sanderson family residence.Alice herself chose the location.She arrived at the Sandersons' early in the morning, tired. A diligent maid w

Alice gracefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and stood up. She looked at Esther, who was holding the USB, and said, "Ms. Quill, why waste your wonderful life on a man? Cast away the unworthy. Live your own life.""You're right," Esther said.Alice blew Esther a kiss and flashed her a coquettish glance. "Good luck."Esther personally escorted Alice to her car.Esther borrowed a laptop from one of the servants and inserted the USB. As soon as she opened the drive, a video file popped up. It was the footage that had been used to convict her in court years ago, showing 'her' disconnecting Thomas' oxygen mask.The video initially played at normal speed. It was noticeably slowed down on the second viewing, particularly at critical moments. Although Esther had previously observed problems with the video, a sense of deep gratitude welled in her as she saw Alice's version.Alice's motivations or intentions in obtaining the video were beside the point. What mattered was th

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
