My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 624
In a fleeting moment, a self-destructive thought arose in Esther's mind. She wondered, why not just end it all? Death would put an end to everything.No. It was her birth, her life, that had been the mistake. When would this mistake ever end?Esther's hand found the fruit knife hidden under her pillow. A single, forceful thrust into her heart could end it all."Mommy!"Felix's sudden cry startled Esther, making her drop the fruit knife instantly. She quickly wiped away her tears, peeking out from the covers to greet her son."Sweetie, Mommy's right here."Hearing her voice, Felix rushed into her arms and wrapped her tightly. "Mommy, your one and only son is here!"A smile broke through Esther's tears as she gently ran her fingers through Felix's hair. "Who brought you here, my sweetie?" she asked."Uncle Jasper did!" Excited, Felix unzipped his backpack and took out a box of cookies, eagerly handing them to his mom."Mommy, our teacher gave these out at school. Trust me, they'

Mandy confidently approached Bradley's hospital room, clutching a bridal gown catalog. She paused at the door before gently knocking ceremonially."Come in," Bradley said, his voice distant.Mandy took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and stepped closer to Bradley, catalog in hand."Mr. Warner, my brother wanted me to give this to you."Bradley glanced at the catalog she extended and raised an eyebrow. "What's this?"Mandy smiled slyly and replied, "Isn't this what you wanted?"Bradley quickly skimmed the catalog, tracing the pages with his slender fingers. His mind wandered to an image of Esther in a gown by Anna Vanderbilt. He closed the catalog dismissively and commented, "I prefer traditional wedding attire over a typical gown."Mandy retorted with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think we have a choice, Mr. Warner?""Mandy, I'll discuss the wedding attire directly with your brother," Bradley replied.A touch of charm appeared in his deep eyes as he added, "I've been married

"Ms. Quill, is this your son with Mr. Warner?"Holding Felix's hand tightly, Esther gently leaned in and whispered, "Felix, say hello to Aunt Mandy. She's the one who gave your dad her liver."Felix looked at Mandy, his eyes dark like obsidian, and sized her up before speaking softly. "Hi, Aunt Mandy."Mandy approached Felix to pat his head, but he swiftly dodged, leaving her hand awkwardly hanging in the air. She acted unfazed, retracted her hand, and smoothened her hair."Ms. Quill, shouldn't you tell your son I'll be his stepmom soon?" she casually said."Daddy will never marry you!" Felix snapped before Esther could respond, visibly upset with Mandy.Mandy gazed at Felix with an amused expression and teased, "Oh, Ms. Quill, haven't you told Felix? He's not only getting a stepmom but also a stepdad.""You're wicked! Daddy will never marry you," Felix retorted, a mix of cuteness and anger in his tone.Mandy chuckled as she leisurely returned to her hospital bed and sat down.

Bradley found Felix's cheeky comment amusing."So, who have you chosen to replace me as your dad?" he coldly asked."I think Uncle Jasper would be a good choice!"Bradley ignored his unhealed injuries, got up, and pulled Felix toward him. He then lightly spanked his buttocks, demanding, "Say that again!"As stubborn as ever, Felix glared back and retorted, "If you even think about marrying Aunt Mandy, I want Uncle Jasper to be my Daddy."Bradley firmly grasped Felix's face, forcing the boy to meet his gaze. "Listen here, you little rascal. Your old man isn't gone yet, you know?"Felix bargained, "I don't care. Unless you don't marry her!""Stay out of grown-up matters!"Felix huffed and almost mumbled, "Fine, marry Aunt Mandy if you want. But then Uncle Jasper will be my new Daddy."Bradley clenched his teeth and warned sternly, "How dare you say that?""I dare! I absolutely dare!" Felix's face twisted into a pitiful expression as if he could burst into tears any moment. "Onc

The household staff usually brought meals, but Oliver decided to serve Esther himself today."Uncle," Esther softly called out."Would you like to take a walk in the garden, Esther?" Oliver suggested with a gentle tone."Sure," she answered, feeling he had something important to discuss.They sat down in the garden pavilion.Esther's body was still fragile, and she pulled her clothes tighter against the breeze.Oliver got to the point. "Esther, the family has approved your marriage to Chadwick."She looked at him, puzzled.Oliver lowered his voice, "This is part of a larger plan. I can't reveal all the details, but we won't sacrifice your happiness for family honor.""Is there something you want me to do, Uncle?" Esther asked, suspecting the marriage was part of a bigger strategy.Oliver shook his head. "No, focus on your recovery. If things don't go as planned, we'll have someone ready to help you.""Alright." Before Oliver's visit, Esther had been nervous, but his words st

Hearing the Pendleton relatives gossip about Esther, Sadie leaned in and whispered, "Don't let it bother you. They don't know what they're talking about."Esther was well aware of how the Quills treated her. A few snide remarks from others wouldn't change her feelings toward her family. "I know."Sadie wrapped her arm around Esther's shoulders and said affectionately, "Just wait. I'll make them regret this."Sadie pushed open the door with determination and entered the room. "Go ahead, keep talking! I want to hear more juicy gossip!"The Pendleton relatives looked at each other nervously, like deer caught in headlights, as if they wished they could disappear.But Sadie wasn't going to let them off the hook. She took out her phone and called Chadwick. "Chadwick, it's Sadie. Can you come to the ladies' makeup room?"Tension filled the room. These women knew Sadie well enough to understand that she could outtalk anyone. They also knew she was the prized possession of the Quill famil

Bradley's white hair made him easily noticeable in the crowd. When Esther caught his gaze, his cold eyes hinted at a mysterious darkness within."Bradley, where will you both live after marrying Mandy?" Liora asked.Sitting beside Bradley, Mandy heard her mother's question. "We'll live in Capitus, Mom," she replied.Esther felt like a lifeless puppet, guided to the round table by Chadwick.From the moment she arrived, all eyes fixated on her. Their looks were filled with unspoken curiosity, as if everyone sought to understand the kind of person Esther truly was. "Ms. Pascal, I agree with Mandy," Bradley chimed in.Mandy shot a thankful glance at Bradley and whispered, "Thanks, Brad."Esther couldn't help but gaze at Bradley's captivating face across the table. She watched him care for Mandy with great attention, even charming her mother into smiles and laughter.For a brief moment, she wanted to escape. She clenched her fingers tightly to control her emotions, sitting there wh

Chadwick carefully set his wine glass on the table. "Mom, could you please refrain from making such comments on a day like today? Let's approach this gently if you have reservations about Esther becoming your daughter-in-law."Selene's sharp gaze met Chadwick's, and eventually, she relented. "I heard you recently donated your liver, which is commendable. Starting today, you're welcome at the Pendletons. Don't worry. I'll guide you as if you were my own daughter."Observing Selene's change in tone, Liora respectfully inquired, "Selene, Mandy is also getting married. How about teaching both Esther and Mandy together?"Selene replied mockingly, "What can I teach her? How to deal with her husband's mistress?"Liora managed a forced smile.Back when Mandy was known as Liliane, she frequently taunted Esther as the illegitimate love child. Now, experiencing this constant ridicule herself, Mandy understood the pain it caused."Mother, if I had a choice—"Liora held Mandy's hand, speakin

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
