Although Oliver wasn't sure exactly what Bradley knew, he fiercely protected Esther. "You don't have to worry about other things, Warner. But don't mess with the people I'm looking out for. If you push too hard, I won't mind letting Felix inherit the Warner Group early."

"Mr. Quill, are you threatening me?" Bradley's eyes blazed with anger.

Oliver's calm demeanor didn't waver. "Think of it as a reminder."

Bradley's gaze fixed on Esther, who sat in a chair with Oliver and Jasper beside her. It felt like he was transported to the past, glimpsing the Esther from five years ago.

Back then, she hadn't been as strong as she is now. All she had said in the courtroom was, "It wasn't me!"

Today, she didn't shed a single tear. Her eyes were as clear as the purest crystal.

"Esther, let me ask you one last time. Were you really not the one who removed my grandfather's oxygen mask?"

Bradley couldn't say for certain whether he wanted Esther to be guilty or innocent. He only knew that when Est

    Bradley's words gripped Esther's heart like an invisible hand. Her fists clenched subconsciously, and a trace of mockery colored her expression, her eyes turning red."Bradley, you keep challenging how I see you."Bradley never expected Esther to address him with such a tone and expression. Since she entered his world, he had been the center of her universe. But now, he was no longer her sole light, and the way she regarded him was chillingly distant."Esther, I gave you a chance, but you didn't value it..."Esther thought of her missing daughter and rose from her chair. "No, I'll speak to you, Bradley."Bradley felt a hidden excitement as he saw Esther's willingness to converse.Jasper worried about Bradley harming Esther. "Esther, let the bodyguards accompany you."Considering her past experiences with Bradley, Esther naturally didn't want to be alone with him. "Sure."With the bodyguards in tow, Esther and Bradley headed to the courthouse stairwell adorned with floor-to-ceil

    "Since Mr. X doesn't want to reveal their identity, they probably don't want to offend Bradley," Jasper said with a contented smile and a light tone. "You know, the Warner Group is a formidable force, hard for regular folks to challenge. By the way, Esther, do you want to appeal that unfair case from five years ago?"Esther replied firmly, "Yes."She had to appeal for her child's sake. Although she knew she couldn't reclaim those lost five years of her youth, she couldn't bear the thought of being forever labeled a "murderer." She just wanted to be a mother with a clean name for Felix. She didn't want Felix's classmates to shun him when they discovered she had committed a crime."In that case, let our law firm's lawyers handle it. They have extensive experience," Tanya said."Alright."Tanya played a significant role in Esther's successful divorce case. Thus, she chose to stick with Tanya and her law firm for her appeal.After Esther's divorce verdict was announced, Oliver left t

    "I'm only devoted to you," Jasper said.Esther looked at the green rose in her hand with surprise. "So, this is the meaning of a green rose? I've never heard of it before."The others in the park all looked at the green rose in Esther's hand in unison. She could not help but worry. "Will they think I picked the flower?"Not picking flowers while admiring them was the most basic etiquette."They won't."As Esther walked along, she received another orange rose from a young girl."The meaning of an orange rose is to offer you a mysterious love."Following that, a pregnant woman handed Esther a pink rose."The meaning of a pink rose is first love."Esther, though a bit slow to catch on, suddenly grasped that Jasper was confessing his feelings to her. She halted, casting her eyes around the garden. The distant music filled her ears, and an urge to escape washed over her.She had always seen herself and Jasper as just friends. It wasn't until Jasper revealed his social media accoun

    Esther couldn't hear the rest of Jasper's words. She was completely absorbed by the pregnancy test report in her hand. She kept checking the numbers, fully aware that Jasper wouldn't make a joke about something like this.She was pregnant. She never thought she could conceive again after the triplets' traumatic birth. It was beyond her imagination that she would be pregnant once more.Esther gently touched her flat abdomen with her right hand, her face turning pale with disbelief."Esther, are you okay?" Jasper asked.Esther's lips quivered, and she whispered, "Jasper, am I really pregnant?""Esther, if you're not sure. We can take another test," Jasper offered, carefully helping Esther sit on a nearby wooden bench. The breeze played with her hair, revealing her beautiful face.Esther shook her head. "I can't do the test here."Jasper looked puzzled. "Esther, based on your current HCG levels, you need an ultrasound.""Jasper, I can't do it here. If news of my pregnancy gets out

    Any other man's confession wouldn't boost her self-confidence in her charm. Instead, she would straightforwardly reject them, leaving no room for romantic ideas.Aware of Esther's personality, Jasper kept his feelings hidden, never daring to drop even a hint. He feared that Esther would subtly distance herself if she discovered his emotions."Jasper, you're a great man and an amazing friend. I cherish our friendship, so I'm sorry."Esther's rejection didn't surprise Jasper.He gazed at her and earnestly asked, "Esther, can you grant me one last request? If you agree, I'll step back into being just a good friend. We'll remain friends for life."Esther met Jasper's eyes, took a deep breath, and softly nodded. "Okay.""I've been preparing for this confession for years. Can we do it together, as a conclusion to both our youths?"Esther couldn't refuse. After a long silence, she finally replied, "Okay.""Then let's proceed."Jasper and Esther walked deeper into the rose garden toge

    Esther's held-back tears now streamed down her cheeks. Unbeknownst to her, while she had been constantly pursuing Bradley, a young man had been earnestly chasing her."Jasper, you'll find a wonderful girl," she assured.Jasper's handsome face brightened with a gentle smile. "Yes, I believe I'll meet someone who's right for me."He would eventually meet someone special, but Esther could never be replaced. The world held other scenic beauties and girls, yet none could fill her role. She held a unique and irreplaceable place in his heart—forever unmatched."Esther, look, I changed my username from ThereWithYou to my real name, but I'm keeping the old Twitter pictures. They're a part of my life."Esther glanced at her phone and saw that ThereWithYou had become Jasper.-Jasper's sudden name change, coinciding with Esther's divorce from Bradley on the same day, quickly trended online. Many netizens speculated about Jasper's motives for the change.Some gossip-seekers even started a

    During the trial, Clark's testimony in support of Esther completely changed the course of the courtroom proceedings."Esther didn't offer me anything," Clark replied honestly.Bradley closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath to control his anger. He clenched his teeth but managed to ask, "Then why did you testify in favor of Esther?""Bradley, I'm not a god. I'm just an ordinary person." Clark gazed calmly at Bradley, his tone gentle but firm. "You've mentioned that Esther betrayed you and caused pain to Mr. Warner. These are your reasons. But are they truly your own?"Sitting across from Bradley, Clark thought about the late Thomas before speaking softly."If your grandfather could see you treating Esther like this, it would break his heart."You accuse Esther of offering me incentives. Maybe the only thing she offered me is the chance to be part of Felix's life as he grows up. Perhaps that's the 'benefit' she provided."Starting today, I won't involve myself in Warner Mano

    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
