My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 628
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

Esther stared at Bradley with panic gripping her. Her reputation would be ruined if anyone else caught her alone with him in the restroom!Bradley blocked any chance for Esther to escape with his body."Do you want to know where your daughter is?" Bradley's voice echoed like a ghost, and Esther's heart ached. She remembered how carefully Bradley had looked after Mandy, which left her feeling bitter."Besides using our daughter to threaten me—" Esther started, but Bradley grabbed her jaw tightly, taunting, "Don't you enjoy being threatened?"Esther seethed. She bit down hard on Bradley's finger, tasting his blood as if it gave her life.Bradley pulled his finger from her mouth, grabbed her hair, and kissed her fiercely while she struggled. "Esther, make some noise. Let everyone see how you…"A tear slid down Esther's face."Bradley, are you trying to push me to the brink?" Esther's voice was filled with grief.Bradley smirked and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. "If

Esther felt trapped by Bradley, cornered like a scared animal. Before she could react, Bradley barged into her world, causing destruction and chaos."Did you hear that noise?" someone asked.Tears streamed down Esther's face as she was filled with fear.But Bradley seemed indifferent to her terror and acted as if nothing happened."What noise? I didn't hear anything.""Ms. Quill and Mr. Warner are missing. Could it be...""Don't involve me if you want to offend Mr. Pendleton!"After what felt like an eternity, the restroom returned to peace.Esther glared at Bradley, clenching her teeth.Bradley calmly adjusted his suit, looking at Esther with cold disdain. "Ever since you agreed to marry Pendleton behind my back, you should have known I wouldn't let you off."Bradley opened the door and left without another word.Afraid Bradley might return, Esther quickly closed the stall door and sobbed uncontrollably on the toilet.She didn't know how long she cried before emerging. She

The doctor used a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to clean Esther's wound. She endured the intense pain with clenched teeth."When will she recover fully?" Chadwick asked."It depends on how well she takes care of herself," the doctor replied. "With proper rest and care, it's three to five days. But if she neglects herself, it could take a lifetime.""You heard that? Take good care of yourself!" Chadwick reprimanded.After treating the wound, Chadwick took Esther back home to the Pendleton residence.Selene had changed into different clothes and was sitting on the living room sofa. When she saw Esther and Chadwick, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Didn't you say you were meeting friends?"Trying to please Selene, Chadwick sat beside her and massaged her shoulders. "Mom, I'm entrusting your daughter-in-law to you. Please, take good care of her."Seeing her son's indirect attempt to protect Esther, Selene responded with a cold hum. "Alright, just say what you want to say. Don't bea

Upon hearing Selene's words, Esther looked at her, a sudden question forming in her mind. Could it be true that this elegant and composed woman had never thought about getting a divorce?"The Pendleton men have always been unpredictable, and my son is no different." Selene continued. "He might be infatuated with you for a while, showering you with attention. But once the novelty wears off, he'll be attracted to other interests."You must now secure your position, stay composed, and understand your role."Selene handed a notebook about the Pendletons' social interactions to Esther, her tone chilly. "Go through this notebook thoroughly. The butler handles everything else in the household, but as the future lady of the Pendletons, you must memorize every detail, learn to command, and take charge."Esther accepted the notebook with both hands, her anxiety evident as she asked, "Can I?""What do you think?" Selene rose and summoned a maid. "Shelly, accompany her to the bedroom."Shell

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
