Bradley had Esther's delicate neck in a tight grip as she weakly uttered, "I didn't."

Felix was her own flesh and blood. How could she even entertain the thought of using him as leverage against Bradley?

"Esther Quill!" The killing intent in Bradley's deep gaze surrounded Esther like an invisible trap. "You better not! Otherwise..."

When Bradley applied a bit more pressure, Esther felt her neck might snap. She weakly pounded his arm.

Finally, Bradley released her, his gaze icy, while she looked as though she was drowning in despair. "I haven't settled the score for what happened to Felix last time."

As Bradley mentioned Felix's accident, Esther was reminded of the Primus Mansion underground garage. Although some time had passed, the memories made her heart race. "Bradley, aren't you afraid Felix will find out how you treat me?"

Bradley looked down at the powerless Esther, raising an indifferent eyebrow. "What can he do? He's just a child. What harm could he possibly inflict on me

    Why did she have to bear the blame for what Liliane had done? Was her biggest mistake in her life falling in love with Bradley? Did her love for him essentially hand him the weapon to hurt her? Bradley had used that very weapon to hurt her deeply."You think it's just this one thing?" he asked.Esther was stunned. What else had she done?Suddenly, it felt like lightning had pierced the darkness of her mind. She trembled and expressed her suspicions, saying, "Bradley, did you always despise me... because I wanted to marry you?"This was the question she needed answers to.Did he truly loathe her so intensely?Bradley offered no response but forcefully kissed her and pulled her back into the crystal coffin. He remained silent. Despair washed over Esther. Even without words, Bradley had conveyed everything to her.A sharp pain twisted Esther's heart. She had casually mentioned to Clark that Bradley would gain the most from everything that had transpired, but any glimmer of hope s

    Bradley endured excruciating heartache as he slowly ascended from the desolate basement to the living room.The moment Mandy heard Bradley's footsteps, she leaped up, her face filled with joy. "Bradley!"Bradley briefly glanced at the servant and instructed, "Bring food to the basement.""Yes, sir."Mandy offered, "Bradley, how about I take the food to Ms. Quill?"Amusement flickered in Bradley's eyes as he considered Mandy's request. She nervously awaited his response."Sure," he said.Taking the tray from the servant, Mandy cautiously headed to the basement. Despite the illumination accompanying each step, an eerie sense of foreboding weighed on her as though a fearsome beast lurked in the shadows.She entered the basement, her gaze filled with pity as she approached the crystal coffin. "Ms. Quill, it's time for dinner."Surveying the sumptuous meal on the tray, Mandy couldn't help but wonder if Esther would have any appetite while confined in the coffin. In her shoes, she p

    Liora began crying as soon as she answered the phone. "Mandy, why did it take you so long to call? I'm so scared!"Mandy was surprised by Liora's distress. She quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Who's scaring you?"Liora was crying so hard that her words were barely comprehensible.Mandy was at a loss for words. Was Richard's decision to be with Liora driven by a desire to compensate for his perceived inferiority due to Selene's prestigious family background?Liora's tendency to cry easily and her difficulty expressing herself perplexed people."Please hand the phone to the caregiver," Mandy instructed.The caregiver took Liora's phone and spoke clearly. "Miss, someone came a little while ago, and they're requesting Ms. Liora's cooperation in an investigation.""Did they use force?" Mandy asked."No, their approach was polite. They simply want your mother to cooperate with their investigation... It appears that Mr. Pendleton conducted various activities in your mother's name. E

    Upon hearing Jasper's words, Bradley raised an eyebrow and spoke coldly. "Searle, let me remind you that Esther is my wife. Wherever I take her is legal, and it's none of your business, understood?"Jasper reminded Bradley of a harsh reality. "Don't forget your and Esther's divorce ruling."Bradley arched an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming like frigid stars in the night, devoid of warmth."Bradley, can I go inside first?" Mandy shivered from the cold and struggled to speak clearly.Bradley nodded, allowing Mandy to enter the villa. As soon as she stepped inside, uncontrollable sneezes overtook her.The caregiver promptly poured her a glass of warm water, providing much-needed relief after a small sip."Mandy, you're finally back!" Liora burst into tears upon seeing Mandy return, embracing her without regard for her discomfort.Mandy glanced at the seals plastered all over the house, her heart sinking. "Mom, please stop crying for now."Liora forced back her tears. "Mandy, you're sco

    The caregiver left.Mandy watched as Liora cried without pause. She briefly glanced at Jasper and Bradley in the garden before taking a deep breath and hurrying to check the bedroom.All the valuable items had seals on them. Mandy didn't want to end up broke, nor did she wish to spend too much time contemplating every purchase.She began by taking a shower and changing her clothes before packing her belongings. Meanwhile, Liora was still in tears as she approached her. "Mandy, what's going to happen to your father? And your brother? Can Mr. Warner help them?"Mandy let go of the scarf she was holding and met Liora's gaze. In a hushed voice, she replied, "Mom, the caregiver is gone, and our possessions are sealed. I understand your concern for them, but shouldn't you worry about us? Will we end up homeless?"Upon hearing that, Liora calmly replied, "Mandy, I have money and a house. We won't end up on the streets.""Mom, this house is in my name, and it's sealed. Why do you think

    Jasper found Bradley's arrogance and self-assured demeanor remarkably ironic. "Can you lock her up for life? Do you believe that by keeping her captive, she'll fall in love with you again?"Bradley's grip tightened slightly.Jasper displayed no fear but instead continued to provoke, "Bradley, if you have the courage, end me today. If not, I'll persist! Someday, I'll find her whereabouts."Bradley hadn't anticipated Jasper daring to taunt him like this in person. He clutched Jasper's collar even tighter.Jasper remained unfazed, only escalating the provocation.Mandy interjected, coldly reminding him while placing her hand on Bradley's arm, "Bradley, surveillance cameras cover this place. If you harm Mr. Searle, you won't escape unscathed either."Bradley instantly released his grip. "Jasper, I'm warning you for the last time. Esther is my wife."Jasper focused on Bradley's now snow-dusted shoes and grinned eerily. "She isn't."Jasper lifted his head, locking eyes with Bradley's

    X's robotic voice echoed in Mandy's ears, making her wonder why X knew her whereabouts so well."Bradley has her imprisoned in a crystal coffin on a small island in Southeast Varnusia," Mandy replied.Upon hearing that, X asked, "Can you rescue her?""I can't," Mandy explained. "I didn't see any boats near the island, and there's no way to communicate with the outside world.""Focus on Esther's safety. No need to intentionally worsen the situation between Bradley and her," X said.Hesitating, Mandy asked, "So... what should I do?"X scoffed. "Do I need to spell it out for you?""Boss, I suspect Bradley wants the Pendletons' covert forces...""Give them to him," X replied.Mandy asked in shock, "Give them to him?"Why should she give them away? Wouldn't it be better to keep them for herself?"You want them?" X asked.Mandy remained silent.X sneered. "The Quills, Fosters, and Lockwoods are all after the Pendletons.

    Esther's eyes widened in surprise. It appeared she hadn't heard clearly. She asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"Bradley gently nibbled on Esther's ear, his voice intimate, like a lover's. "Esther, should it be an accident? Or..."An accident? For some reason, when Esther heard the word "accident," the first thing that came to her mind was Thomas' accident."Bradley! What do you want exactly?" Esther asked, feeling helpless.Bradley's smile turned wickedly sardonic. "Esther, tell me, what can I do to ensure that a man who desires my woman will never think of coveting her again?""Bradley! We're divorced!"Esther knew she shouldn't provoke Bradley at a time like this, but she couldn't control herself. She turned around in the confined space of the crystal coffin, locking eyes with Bradley's intense gaze."The court has already finalized our divorce."A murderous glint appeared in Bradley's eyes. "Esther, I told you, this game you started will end with me."Tears of

    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
