Bradley's icy eyes fixed on Esther, revealing a hint of coldness. Her face displayed mixed emotions, caught between staying silent and speaking up. His lips twitched slightly, and his words pierced Esther's heart like an icicle.

"How kind of you, Chadwick!" Kevin noticed the resentment in Bradley's tone as he leaned in, ready to clear the misunderstanding.

However, Esther discreetly shook her head, signaling him to stay back.

Silence was their only option. Bradley worried that angering Chadwick might cost him a liver donation.

Chadwick seemed pleased with Bradley's response and burst into laughter. "Mr. Warner, let's consider ourselves brothers from today. Please take care of my sister, Mandy. As for your ex-wife, rest assured, she's in good hands."

Bradley smiled subtly. "Chadwick, if you'd shown interest in this woman earlier, I'd have gladly handed her over!"

Chadwick shrugged. "Mr. Warner, I'm more interested in the possibility of her having triplets. Isn't that exciting?"

    "Chadwick, Felix is where I draw the line."Chadwick glanced at Esther, saying sinisterly, "Esther, I don't make a habit of playing the dad role for others.""Chadwick! Pendleton!"She would have never accepted Chadwick's absurd proposal if he had not threatened her with Bradley."Esther, let's have a serious talk then."Chadwick guided Esther into a room. He perched casually on a desk and grinned at her. "Self-awareness trumps all, Esther. Know your position."Esther chuckled coldly. "Chadwick, I may be your pawn, but I have my limits! Felix is non-negotiable. I fought hard for those custody rights, and I'm not giving them up.""Is there no room for discussion?" Chadwick straightened up, eyes narrowing dangerously at Esther. "Should I send Mr. Warner back to prison? I wonder how much longer he can last there?""You..." Esther was at a loss for words. She knew Chadwick was threatening her using Bradley. She had absolutely no options. Bradley's health would not hold up in prison

    Mandy glanced down at her pale, intertwined fingers, reminiscing about her previous life as Liliane. There used to be a small mole at the base of her thumb. It might have seemed unsightly, but a fortune-teller had called it a mole of prosperity, predicting a life of wealth.She had to remove it to fully become Mandy, despite her past self's reservations.A sneer of irony crossed her mind. She had once thought Bradley and Esther were inseparable, but reality shattered that illusion.She had almost celebrated when she learned about Bradley's liver cancer. She believed Esther would marry Chadwick as leverage against Bradley.'Kevin wants to tell Bradley the truth? Hah! I'll ensure Bradley lives in blissful ignorance until the end. The look of betrayal on his face when it's all done will be my sweetest reward,' Mandy thought."Mr. Warner, please refrain from speaking ill of her," Mandy said, her words laced with charm. "She's a delicate woman who's willing to go to great lengths for y

    Esther was filled with terror. She feared losing all connection to Bradley, unable to even be his confidant. She realized she wouldn't have the authority to consent to a liver transplant if he needed one.The thought of Bradley marrying Mandy caused her unbearable pain. They were so young, and she imagined them having their own children and finding happiness together. Her heartache was so intense that it made breathing difficult as if an invisible force were suffocating her."Esther, it's your turn to sign," Chadwick urged, his eyes narrowing sinisterly. "Do you need help signing your name?"Esther felt empty, devoid of emotions. She sat on the sofa mechanically and picked up the divorce papers Bradley had signed, which now included a clause granting him sole custody of their child. She would only have visitation rights, subject to Bradley's discretion. Without his permission, Esther couldn't approach Felix for any reason.She scribbled her last name in the wife's column with tremb

    Kevin's heart pounded wildly as he checked on Esther, her face ghostly white, devoid of any color. Bradley's strong arms enveloped her, cradling her as if she were as light as a feather.Mandy observed Bradley making his exit and quietly suggested, "Brother, we should follow them."Chadwick's eyes turned ominous as he snatched the divorce papers off the table. "Hurry up and get the divorce finalized!"The employee at the window nervously responded, "Mr. Pendleton, we need both parties present for the divorce."A cooling-off period was originally in place for marriages, maintained there because Esther and Bradley already had a court-issued divorce decree. Otherwise, a 30-day cooling-off period would be mandatory."Do it!" Chadwick snapped, directing his fury at the hapless employee.Mandy offered an apologetic smile to the employee and calmly said, "Brother, the divorce can wait. Our first priority should be to check on Esther's condition.""What do you mean?" Chadwick asked, his

    Kevin wasted no time and dialed Agatha's number.While waiting for her arrival, he sat restlessly beside Bradley. "Bradley, Esther went as far as kneeling before Chadwick to convince Mandy to donate her liver to you!"Bradley's eyes filled with intensity as he retorted, "What are you talking about? A liver donation?"With a deep sigh, Kevin shared what he knew. "Esther initially volunteered to be your donor, but tests showed her liver isn't compatible with yours."As he gazed at the emergency room door, Kevin continued calmly, "I discovered that Mandy's liver was a match. We both approached her for help, but here's the twist: Chadwick Pendleton is her brother. She can't donate her liver without his approval."Esther even knelt and pleaded with her. Have you ever considered this? How deeply must she love you to make such a choice?"When she first came to visit you, Chadwick wanted to meet her, but she firmly declined."Bradley, take a moment to think about it."Kevin patted Brad

    As soon as Chadwick and Mandy arrived, Bradley immediately bombarded them with questions. Mandy pretended to be scared and hid behind Chadwick.Chadwick noticed Bradley's arm, which was originally wrapped in bandages. His eyes filled with a sinister gleam as he asked, "What happened to your hand?"Bradley glanced at his arm, realizing he had forgotten that his hand should still appear injured while carrying Esther out of the office. Since it was already exposed, he saw no need to keep up the act."You mean that picture?" Bradley scoffed. "Pendleton, don't you know about something called Photoshop?"Chadwick finally realized he had been deceived and couldn't contain his anger. He raised an eyebrow. "Bradley Warner, you're quite something!"Bradley approached Chadwick, wanting to express his frustration.Kevin was worried that Bradley and Chadwick might start fighting again, potentially landing Bradley back in jail. "Bradley, that's enough!" Kevin intervened, positioning himsel

    It felt so good! However, this was not enough.Mandy's eyes sparkled with malice. She needed to make Esther and Bradley turn against each other completely. Only when they became true enemies, wishing harm upon each other, could she feel true pleasure!Mandy knew she couldn't donate her liver to Bradley because it wasn't a match. The question was, who could?Where could someone find a perfectly matching liver for Bradley?Standing on the cold street, Mandy watched the bustling traffic, pondering how to make Bradley and Chadwick become bitter enemies. Unable to think of a better plan, she hailed a taxi.As she got into the car, X sent her a text message.[Get ready. The liver transplant surgery will be in three days.]'Three days later?' Mandy hesitated before typing a [?] and then changed it to a [.] to signal her understanding.She gazed out of the car window at the bustling street, thinking about her current identity.

    Kevin never believed in coincidences. How could it be that moments after Esther underwent a liver match, this elderly couple knew that her liver was suitable for their daughter?"Sir, we can't say," Samantha said, handing over the supplements they brought. "Ms. Quill is a good person. She's willing to donate her liver to save our daughter. We're very grateful to her. These things may not be worth much money, but they represent our heartfelt gratitude."Bradley snatched the apples and unbranded nutritional supplements and violently smashed them onto the floor. "Take your stuff and get out!"The apples rolled all over the floor.The elderly couple was startled by Bradley's sudden outburst. They were afraid there would be changes to the liver donation and fell to their knees before him."Get out! She won't donate her liver to your daughter," Bradley growled.Without his consent, Esther could only try to donate her liver. Her liver, her heart, her bones, her blood, her whole being—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
