Esther felt as if Bradley's hand was squeezing her throat so tightly it might break. "Bradley, you've got it all wrong!"

Her face turned bright red as she desperately tried to defend herself.

"Wrong?" Bradley leaned in and bit down harshly on Esther's right ear. His teeth cruelly gnashed at her delicate, elf-like ear, drawing a trickle of blood that smeared across his lips.

"Bradley, nothing is happening between Jasper and me. We're innocent," she said, muffling a pained whimper.

Bradley let go of her throat, and Esther coughed. She clutched her sore neck as tears welled up in her eyes, revealing her vulnerability.

"Innocent?" Bradley took pleasure in her discomfort.

"We're innocent," Esther repeated, her voice hoarse from coughing. She leaned against the hospital room door, her eyes misty as she explained, "I've never betrayed you. Please, you have to believe me!"

Her love had always been for one man only—Bradley.

Bradley glanced at Esther, his eyes radiating coldness. He touc

    Esther's body shivered uncontrollably from the intense cold."Esther, I'll ask you one last time. Where else did Jasper touch you?" Brad's voice was firm.Tears streamed down her face as Esther replied softly, "Just my hair..."Bradley's anger flared even more upon hearing her evasive answer. He quickly shoved his phone screen before her eyes. "What do you see here?"A curtain of cold water seemed to wash over her as she looked at the image on the screen. It was a photo of her in a cafe, being consoled by Jasper. She had never imagined Bradley would discover such a picture."Brad, let me explain!"Bradley slammed the handheld showerhead onto the floor, causing it to shatter. Cold water sprayed wildly around the small bathroom, intensifying the icy tension in his dark eyes."Explain?" His menacing gaze fixed on Esther's face. In a swift motion, he tore her fine clothing into pieces. "Lies! All lies!"Esther shivered from the cold, but Bradley showed no mercy. He cornered her in

    Bradley's eyes glowed crimson and menacing, a stark contrast to Esther's conflicted gaze. She trembled as she picked up her phone and found Jasper's number. After a brief moment of hesitation, she blocked it."Delete all contacts with him," Bradley commanded coldly.Esther erased every trace of Jasper from her phone with no other choice.Arching his chin proudly, Bradley issued a chilling warning, "If I ever catch you with Jasper again, I won't hesitate to harm you."Esther interjected, noticing his wet hair. "Brad, let me dry your hair. You can't afford to get sick."She ignored her own soaked clothes, and her only concern was Bradley's already fragile health worsening due to a cold."No need," Bradley dismissed her with a push, his eyes filled with contempt. "Esther, can't you even buy clothes without my help?"Blushing deeply, Esther pushed Bradley away and wrapped herself in a blanket. She realized she was in Bradley's hospital room, without her clothes.She settled for one

    Jasper frowned slightly, disbelief filling his voice. "So, I've been blocked?""Bradley's jealousy got the best of him." Kevin empathized, fully understanding. Who could tolerate another man doting on his wife like a backup quarterback, ready to step in if things went awry?"Is there something you should tell her?""Let Esther know I've got a meeting with Ms. Pendleton tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. She'll understand."Intrigued, Kevin prodded further, "What's the meeting about?""It's best if you don't know."With a resigned shrug, Kevin thought, 'Alright, keep your secrets. I didn't really want to know anyway.'Kevin ended the call and rapped on the hospital room door.Bradley glanced at Esther warningly as she struggled with her blanket. He opened the door and asked, "What else?""Bradley, what do you both want for dinner?""Anything," Bradley replied indifferently.Kevin retreated, saying, "In that case, you can order your own takeout."He had genuinely wanted to do something n

    Bradley firmly held onto Esther's slender waist with one hand, his eyes dangerously flashing as he warned, "Don't you dare move!"Esther's vision blurred with a dizzying array of colors. She felt disoriented, her eyelids drooping despite her best efforts to keep them open. Nevertheless, her body instinctively clung to Bradley as if he was her only refuge.Gradually, Bradley sensed that something was amiss with Esther in his arms. He lowered his head and noticed her flushed face.Gripping her chin firmly, he demanded, "Esther, are you pretending to be unconscious?"The heat radiating from Esther's skin burned Bradley's fingers and unsettled him. Panic briefly crossed his handsome face, and his eyes filled with confusion. "Esther, stop this act right now!"Esther remained still.In an instant, a wave of dread washed over Bradley's heart. Holding her tightly, he rushed out of the room and shouted for medical help. "Doctor! Nurse!"The staff quickly responded to Bradley's desperate

    "Get out!" Bradley barked.Kevin thought, 'Well, Bradley does have cancer.'He decided not to take offense and remained calm."Treat Esther well. Don't lead her to her grave," Kevin advised casually before leaving.Perhaps it was a hidden tenderness within Bradley, flowing like a gentle stream and moistening his otherwise dry heart. He sat beside his hospital bed, gazing at the unconscious Esther. Memories of their time together at Primus Mansion drifted through his mind.Esther had pretended to have amnesia back then, yet she was irresistibly charming. She warmed his heart in ways he couldn't fully understand.Without hesitation, Bradley reached for Esther's soft hand, slightly chilled from the IV fluids. Almost instinctively, he held it tightly.Stirring in her dazed state, Esther seemed unsettled. Bradley gently smoothed her knitted eyebrows.Soft words escaped her lips, "Brad, Brad," filled with genuine emotion."I'm here," Bradley whispered.As if hearing him, Esther san

    Jasper drove Esther to a picturesque nursing home just outside the capital. This nursing home was set against serene lakes and rolling mountains, almost like a hidden paradise.After parking their car in the nursing home's lot, they hopped on a shuttle that took them to a charming villa.Mandy opened the door to the villa.Jasper, always considerate, had brought some health supplements as gifts."Mandy, are these your friends?" A frail woman in a wheelchair slowly approached from the living room.Esther glanced at Mandy's mother, Liora Pascal, and marveled at how beautiful she must have been in her youth, even in her twilight years."Mom, my friends have come to visit you," Mandy said, smiling warmly at Esther and Jasper. "This is Jasper, and this is Esther."Jasper and Esther greeted the woman in the wheelchair with kindness."Hello, ma'am."Liora was visibly touched. "This is the first time Mandy has brought friends to see me. Please, have a seat. Let me make you some tea."

    Liora was the forbidden fruit of the Pendletons, but what had Mandy done wrong?"I apologize for asking you to come to the nursing home," Mandy said, her face reflecting unease. "I received an urgent call from the nursing staff about my mom's worsening condition. So, I had no choice but to move our meeting here."Jasper spoke gently. "Your mother is quite concerned about you."Mandy responded cynically. "She and I are merely pawns in the Pendletons' game."Mrs. Pendleton comes from a privileged background and supports Mr. Pendleton. Even though he claims my mom is his one true love, divorce is never on his radar."I'm simply a result of their calculated lives. I heard I had an older brother, but as soon as they discovered he was a boy, my mother was rushed for an abortion."The man who professes love for my mom lacks the courage to stand up for her. I would never have been born if I hadn't been a girl."They wield absolute control over every aspect of my life, from choosing my f

    Before Mandy could respond, the call abruptly ended."You all heard him. Without his consent, I can't donate my liver to Bradley. Please, leave," she said.Jasper cautiously asked, "What if Esther pretends to agree to marry Chadwick?"Esther's heart chilled. Could pretending even work?Mandy took a deep breath and smiled faintly. "Mr. and Mrs. Warner are still legally married. She can't pretend to accept my brother's proposal, can she?""Esther, can you do it?" Jasper's tone turned icy, cutting to the chase. "To destroy the Pendletons for good, we first need to stabilize their position."Esther hesitated, clenching her fists. "I'm not sure if Brad would agree.""Wouldn't he give his consent if it's a matter of saving his life?" Mandy probed."Bradley is quite domineering, not to mention he's already at odds with Chadwick. So if he..." Jasper started but did not finish. "It would be understandable if Bradley disagreed.""If Bradley is the deciding factor in this, then I suggest

    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
