Beginner's luck smiled upon Esther as she was dealt an exceptional starting hand.

Chadwick was seemingly poised for dominance. He clicked his tongue and remarked, "Her luck is truly extraordinary!"

Mandy asked curiously, "Is it really that good?"

Chadwick's eyes shifted to Mandy's hand and sneered. "Given your luck, it might be wise to give up while you still can. If we catch you, the stakes will be high!"

Esther scrutinized her hand of cards and instinctively asked Chadwick's opinion, "What should I play?"

"Make your move when it's your turn," Chadwick replied.

Selene played her turn, and Bradley followed suit.

"Now it's your turn," he reminded Esther.

The uncertain Esther hesitated before asking Chadwick, who she knew would help her understand the rules, "What should I play?"

"Why the delay? You've already won," Chadwick declared confidently, snatching Esther's cards and placing them in front of her.

"See that? She's unbeatable," he declared proudly.

Mandy chimed in. "Are

    "Tell me, whose child are you f*cking carrying?" Chadwick snarled.The young girl, Jolene Moss, pushed Chadwick away defiantly, acting insolently. "Who are you? Why should you care whose child I'm carrying?""Mr. Pendleton! Mr. Pendleton, let's talk calmly," a doctor who clearly knew them both gently advised Chadwick.Chadwick grabbed Jolene's chin, his bloodshot eyes filled with blazing anger. "Tell me, or else!"The unyielding Jolene retorted, "What's so great about grabbing my face? Choke me if you can! I don't want to live anyway! I don't want to live anymore! Come on, do it, strangle me if you dare!"Esther was bewildered by the unfolding situation before her.Chadwick couldn't help but chuckle before he impulsively slapped Jolene. Her face swelled instantly, and she shot Chadwick a jealous, resentful look."What's it to you?" she barked, her tone heavy with envy. "I'm willing to abandon everything. I'm not worth much! I—"Upon hearing her words, Chadwick slapped her again

    Jolene, who had appeared indifferent just moments earlier, now guarded her abdomen visibly upon hearing Esther's question. Anxiously, she denied, "No, it's not his. Don't make unfounded claims.""Most men are straightforward. They don't grasp the complexities of pregnancy. They only see the surface," Esther remarked while seated across from Jolene. "If you want to keep this child, perhaps I can assist.""You? How can you help me?" Jolene maintained her guarded expression. "You're not trying to lower my guard so you can persuade me to give birth and then take my child, aren't you?""I won't. I promise." Esther gazed at Jolene with sincerity and advised, "As an expectant mother, consider avoiding makeup. Cosmetics can contain harmful substances like lead. Though the risk to your child is minimal, safeguarding your child as a mother is your duty, isn't it?""How can you assist me?" Jolene asked.Esther asked instead, "That depends on your desires. Do you want a safe birth for the chi

    Esther had been deeply hurt, and her heart had grown cold."I can be trusted," Esther reassured Jolene. "I hope you won't go down the same path as me."Jolene gazed at Esther, her mind in a haze. She absentmindedly touched her abdomen and took a deep breath. "I'll trust you this time."Before leaving the cafe, Esther and Jolene each had a glass of milk.Chadwick asked coldly, "Are you calmer now? Can you tell me who that man is?"He was eager to know who had dared to pursue Jolene, someone under his protection."Mr. Pendleton, please let me handle this," Esther said.Chadwick glared at Esther and sarcastically asked, "Esther, what are your intentions?""She's frightened of you. I'll speak to her tonight," Esther replied.Jolene followed Esther's lead and sought refuge behind her."Very well. Tell her she can forget about keeping the child! Go study abroad after the abortion. Instead of focusing on your studies, you've ended up pregnant out of wedlock at such a young age!" Cha

    Jolene wiped her tears and said with anguish, "He provided me with a home and sought justice for me."He helped my aunt and uncle to divorce, and my aunt started her successful business."He arranged a tutor to assist me in catching up on my studies and encouraged me to work hard."He's like both a brother and a father. He was my first love back when I was just starting to understand my feelings."I... I dream of marrying him. Even if everyone thinks he's a bad guy, he's a good person to me."Esther sat down beside Jolene and spoke gently. "Is this sudden feeling of deep love, or is it gratitude? You have a long life ahead...""I love him very much," Jolene looked at Esther with teary eyes and said firmly, "I'd give my life for him!""So, what's the situation with... this child?"Esther sensed that Chadwick probably didn't remember any prior involvement between them.Jolene fell silent.Esther didn't press her further and asked softly, "What's your name?""Jolene Moss.""Al

    Was Esther playing the role of a virtuous wife now?Esther didn't understand Bradley's complex emotions. She struggled to slip into the back seat and closed the car door behind her. As she did, Bradley suddenly gripped her neck, smirked, and pushed her against the car door. "Can't believe you could ever be a virtuous wife."Struggling to speak, Esther managed to choke out, "Let... Let go of me.""Do you think being engaged to Pendleton means you have someone to support you?"Bradley had dark circles under his eyes after staying up all night, checking his phone and tracking Esther's whereabouts. Whenever he thought of Esther and Chadwick spending the night together, he wished he could harm Chadwick and keep Esther by his side forever."Bradley, you already have Mandy. Why won't you let me go?" Esther asked in anguish.Why? He didn't love her. He never cared about her. He treated Mandy well but treated Esther cruelly. What had she done to deserve this treatment?"Let you go?" Brad

    The car stopped under Jolene's apartment building. When the door opened, Bradley roughly threw Esther and her groceries out.Esther found herself on the ground, watching apples and oranges rolling in every direction. She then looked back at Bradley in the car.Bradley's silhouette remained in the darkness. Esther couldn't see his face, but he felt like a ruthless demon from hell. He stayed put, but it seemed like he held her life in his hands.The car door slammed shut loudly, and it drove away. Esther bent down to collect the scattered items, putting them back in the bags.The apartment's concierge rushed over to help. "Madam, let me assist you."Esther softly replied, "Thank you."They entered the elevator, and Esther fixed her hair using the elevator's light reflection.The concierge rang the doorbell smoothly, and an impatient voice came from inside. "Who's there?"Esther croaked, "It's me."The door opened, and Esther entered, groceries in tow. Jolene followed like a curi

    Esther dried herself with a towel and wore the loungewear Jolene had left in the bathroom.Observing Esther's graceful exit from the bathroom, Jolene couldn't help but feel jealous. Esther's beauty was truly captivating, even to Jolene. Would any man be able to resist her allure?What stood out was that Esther had a kind heart beneath that beauty. If Jolene were a man, she'd want to marry her, build a splendid home, and keep her safe within its walls."Oh, I almost forgot to grab a hairdryer!" Jolene handed the hairdryer to Esther, who promptly began to dry her hair.Unlike Jolene, who had dyed her hair pink, Esther's natural-colored hair cascaded long and glossy, gleaming like the finest satin under the room's lights.A pleasant 'ding' reminded them as the blender finished its work. Esther set down the hairdryer and ventured into the kitchen. She expertly boiled a pair of eggs and some broccoli. Finally, she arranged a plate of fruits with precision."Jojo, breakfast is served."

    Esther sat in Clark's car, thinking about Jolene's threat. She had warned that she would take off with the child if Esther spoke the truth.Esther found Jolene's naivety amusing. She had already told Jolene that only people who genuinely cared about her would be interested in her well-being. Bradley was a prime example. He had never cared about Esther—her happiness or misery meant nothing to him.Maybe it was a case of "birds of a feather", but Esther didn't want Jolene to endure what she had during her pregnancy."Mommy, Grandpa Clark said Sunshine and Jacob are coming. Is that true?" Felix asked."Yeap!" Esther smiled at Felix, who was securely buckled into his safety seat beside her. "Are you excited?""I'm super happy." Felix was an obedient and adorable child.He spotted a fancy boutique outside the car window and said, "Mommy, can we get gifts for Jacob and Sunshine?""Absolutely."Since Felix hadn't grown up with Esther, she always tried to spoil him. After all, he was h

    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
