My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 658
The various classical instruments filled the air with melodies, transporting every guest to the Renaissance's golden era.Faces beamed with rare joy. Even though the guests had attended numerous weddings, this one was exceptional, teeming with excitement. The union of the Quill and Pendleton families promised to be the wedding of the century.Mandy slowly edged closer to the lively venue, the rhythmic drums and percussion growing more intense. An unexplained sense of apprehension crept over her.She remained clueless about Esther's whereabouts and when Jasper and his party would strike against the Pendletons. However, she knew that her days under the Pendletons' control were over."Wait for a moment. The ceremony up ahead isn't done yet," the wedding planner whispered to the maid of honor as she approached her. "Proceed when you hear the trumpets.""Got it," the maid of honor replied.Mandy and Esther wore nearly identical traditional wedding attire. Even after swapping veils, th

Accompanied by her maid of honor, Mandy descended the red carpet with measured steps. At the end of the carpet, Chadwick awaited her, dressed splendidly in a traditional groom attire. His gaze remained fixed on Mandy, who looked elegant in her antique lace veil and flowing gown.With eagerness, Chadwick moved closer to accept Mandy's hand from the maid of honor. Confusion crossed his face as his eyes shifted to the apple she held.'Didn't I eat an apple in the car? Why does Esther have another one?' he thought.In the audience, Selene's curiosity piqued as she observed the couple on stage. Just then, a staff member from the wedding company approached her, whispering, "Madam Pendleton, Ms. Pendleton has disappeared."Selene frowned. "And what about Mr. Warner?"Before the woman could reply, the sky erupted with fireworks, and the air filled with the smell of gunpowder."We can't reach Mr. Warner on his phone either," the head of the wedding planner murmured.Selene's gaze retur

To prevent the Pendletons from becoming a laughingstock in Capitus, Selene had to make Esther's infertility a public matter.Oliver subtly adjusted his glasses, staring piercingly at Selene. "Madam Pendleton, do you know why Esther can't have children?"His words held hidden meaning, unsettling Selene."Dad, take her away. We'll talk about this later." Chadwick completely missed Selene's signals. His arrogance and self-importance blinded him to the threat posed by Bradley and Esther, whom he considered insignificant."Escort Madam Pendleton off!" Chadwick signaled his groomsmen, who were clueless about the situation. They followed his command and moved Selene offstage.The normally reserved Richard Pendleton stepped forward, his hand gently circling Selene's waist. He leaned in and whispered cautiously, "Had enough?"Selene glared at Richard. "If it weren't for you, would this drama have unfolded today?"'If not for you, would I have sacrificed my dignity?; she wondered."Selen

Richard took the phone and was shocked to discover divorce papers there. His heart raced joyfully, and he couldn't believe it when he asked, "Have you really decided?""Sign it!" Selene said.Richard quickly glanced through the divorce papers. He felt like he was giving in a bit, but he considered it compensation for using Selene all these years.Worried that Selene might regret her decision, he eagerly signed it. "Selene, if you ever need anything in the future, you can still come to me!"Selene responded with a cold snort and approached Oliver, whispering, "Oliver, let's go!"She had divorce papers ready on her phone at all times. To be precise, she had considered divorce countless times since falling out with Richard.So why hadn't she divorced him?It was because she couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept that her choice had failed. She couldn't accept being a failure herself. Most of all, she couldn't accept seeing everything she had worked so hard for handed over to anoth

Chadwick's bloodshot eyes locked on Richard, who cleared his throat and spoke. "Son, I have the wedding gift ready."After the disturbance Selene caused, Chadwick chose not to create a scene despite his anger."Now, you may kiss," the emcee said.Mandy hesitated, unable to bring herself to do it. She had overheard the heated argument and suspected that X might have taken Esther. Selene's wedding interruption was likely related to this.Mandy felt cornered. She was unwilling to kiss Chadwick, so she feigned exhaustion during the kiss. She collapsed toward Chadwick, accidentally revealing her face as she removed her veil.Mandy's sudden unveiling triggered chaos at the wedding."Mandy!" the guests exclaimed.Chadwick was standing beside her as the groom and glared at her. "Why are you here? Where's Esther?!"Mandy didn't admit her role in this plot. Instead, she looked at Chadwick with a face of innocence and confusion. "Huh? Where's Bradley?"Chadwick angrily dialed a number on

Liora slapped Mandy's hand and asked, her anger barely restrained, "It was you, right?"Without hesitation, Mandy admitted, "Yes, it was me! I reported them! I gathered the evidence! What? Is that not acceptable?"Liora looked at Mandy as if she were a stranger before slapping her face. "They're your family!"Clutching her face, Mandy gazed up and questioned with a smile, "Family? My father sent me overseas as a child to fend for myself, all for his own status. Can he truly be called family?"And as for her half-brother, Chadwick, what sort of person was he?Prison was the only fitting punishment for them!When Liora contemplated the prospect of her lover and Chadwick facing prison and the potential downfall of everything they had worked for over the years, she couldn't care less about the guests.She revealed a decades-old secret, "Mandy, Chadwick is your biological brother!"Mandy widened her eyes upon hearing Liora's revelation and glanced at Chadwick. Her real brother? Did

Chawick barked, "I killed your father with my own hands! I had your mother killed by someone! And as for you... Do you really believe I am your savior?"Chadwick gazed at Jolene with pity and added, "End the pregnancy, go to college, and lead a normal life."Jolene had always believed Chadwick was her savior, but now she realized he was her enemy. She couldn't believe her eyes."You lied to me! You lied to me!" she cried out.Chadwick looked at Jolene with disdain. "Jolene, did you really think I didn't know whose child you're carrying? Why do you think I wanted you to terminate it? I don't want our child. We have a deep-seated grudge, understand?"Jolene's legs gave way, and she collapsed.What should have been a beautiful wedding turned into a disaster.Liora wept while Mandy was shocked by the sudden twist.She had followed X's instructions to bring down the Pendletons, but X hadn't informed her that these two Pendleton men were involved in drug production and trafficking!

The Quills, Fosters, and Lockwoods had united, making the Pendletons an easy target.The Quills always prepared thoroughly before going to war.

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
