My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 694
Bradley's intense gaze fixed on Esther as he asked in a deep voice, "What did you call me just now?"Esther felt a sudden surge of nervousness upon hearing his question. "M-Mr. Warner?"Was that wrong? Should she have addressed him as "Master"? Or maybe, given his age, she should have simply called him "Sir"?"Figure it out for yourself," Bradley replied coldly, taking a seat at the dining table.Esther had prepared a beautifully presented and mouthwatering dinner.While in prison, Esther had attended various courses to improve her post-release employment prospects. As a woman, she had taken classes in beauty and hairstyling, dessert baking, culinary cuisine, embroidery, and clothing making. Her instructors were experts in their fields.Maintaining focus and inner peace was relatively easy, with nothing else to do in prison. Esther had even witnessed an inmate become an embroidery master's apprentice after completing the prison course.Bradley pushed his cutlery toward Esther an

Everyone had choices, but Esther had none. She had to trust Bradley's promise. At least seeing Felix would ease her longing for her child."Thank you, sir," Esther said, taking a deep breath to calm her restlessness. "If you don't need anything else, may I clear the dishes?"Bradley didn't respond, simply rising and heading upstairs.With her head down, Esther respectfully watched Bradley leave before tackling the dining room and kitchen. She worried he might check for cleanliness, so she wore kitchen gloves and meticulously cleaned, even disassembling the range hood.She finally caught her breath once she finished in the kitchen and dining room. However, the living room phone rang.Esther hesitated but answered. "Hello?""Can you transfer the call to Mr. Warner?""Of course, please hold."Esther recognized Mandy's voice but wondered why she was calling Bradley."Sir, it's Ms. Pendleton on the line."Esther gently knocked at the master bedroom entrance, reminding Bradley to a

Mandy felt uneasy watching Esther act so submissive. She couldn't recall Esther ever being so obedient—she used to be quite proud. Had Bradley broken her spirit?As the sea breeze blew, Liora complained, "Mandy, it's really cold!""Mom, we're in the tropics. It's warmer than Capitus."Mandy couldn't understand why someone like Richard would choose to be with Liora, who had nothing to offer, over Selene, who had an excellent family background and looks. What was he seeking? Did he crave some lost sense of manhood in Liora's presence?"Mandy!"As a maid, Esther extended her hand to help Liora with the luggage."Can't you see the guests have arrived? Serve the appetizers to them!" Bradley barked.Esther withdrew her hand quickly and served the appetizers to Mandy and Liora.Liora glanced at the appetizers with a hint of disdain and asked, "Are these organic? If not, I won't eat them."Mandy was rendered speechless.Bradley looked at Liora and told Esther, "You heard Mrs. Pendlet

Mandy instinctively turned her gaze toward Esther when Bradley touched her. Seeing Esther's eyes dim, she politely thanked Bradley, saying, "Bradley, I'm truly sorry for the trouble."Bradley remained silent.Esther quietly averted her gaze. When Bradley had his arm around Mandy earlier, a fleeting pang of sadness gripped her heart.It was a brief moment of pain, but it brought clarity to Esther. Bradley had found a new love interest, which was a positive development. It meant he wouldn't be fixated on her alone anymore. When he fell in love with Mandy, he would eventually grow tired of Esther and set her free.Esther entered the kitchen, preparing a fruit platter for Mandy and Liora.While working, she contemplated whether she should assist Mandy in pursuing Bradley. Mandy had saved Bradley's life by donating her liver, which technically made her his savior. If Mandy took a more proactive approach to win Bradley's heart, it might be just what they needed. After all, it was often

As a result, he secretly had his son with Liora to replace Selene's child. What was worse, he heartlessly abandoned Selene's child at an orphanage. Such a cruel and selfish man was now facing the consequences in prison."You can't say that about him!" Liora rushed to his defense.Mandy sternly retorted, "Did I say anything wrong? Do you know why we've been targeted so ruthlessly? It's because of the Cassell family's retaliation. They want to ensure we can't survive in Capitus!"Liora, shocked and in tears, stammered, "H-How could Selene—"Mandy snorted. "Why couldn't she? If I were Selene, I would have been even more ruthless!""I need to tell Richard..." Liora seemed to have forgotten that Richard was now in jail, facing a future behind bars.Mandy sneered. "Sure, take a plane back and complain to him. Tell him it's all because of him that both of us are suffering the consequences."Liora's anger boiled over, and she slapped Mandy in the face. As soon as she realized what she h

"W-What are you doing?"Bradley remained silent, his actions clearly asserting his dominance over Esther. Her clothes clung to her body, drenched from the shower, and her meticulously tied hair now hung disheveled over her cheeks.He pushed Esther against the bathroom wall, firmly grasping her chin, and compelled her to confront her own reflection in the mirror. "Esther, who do you see?"Hearing Bradley's harsh tone, Esther couldn't help but tremble. "Sir?"A sly grin crept onto Bradley's face as he mockingly asked, "Do you think your employer would treat you like this?""Bradley, what... What are you..."Esther took a deep breath, choosing to ignore Bradley entirely."Esther, remember me! Remember this face!" Bradley released his hold on Esther, gazing at her. "You belong to me exclusively, understand?"Esther adjusted her hair and gently touched her wound once Bradley departed. For a moment, she had experienced a sharp pain. She sat on the bathtub's edge, leaning against the

"Bradley, there's something I'd like to discuss, and I brought wine in Esther's stead," Mandy said, handing the tray to Bradley.Bradley took the wine glass and replied, "Mandy, please have a seat."Mandy settled on the sofa opposite Bradley. "I apologize for tonight. My mother hasn't adjusted yet, and..."Thinking about Liora's behavior made Mandy feel awkward.Bradley gently reminded her, "You saved me, and I'm accommodating you."Mandy understood his meaning. She knew Bradley was emotionally distant, almost cold."Bradley, if my father won't hand over his hidden forces..."Bradley raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Mr. Pendleton has no choice, but we might need to put on an act together.""I'd be honored to help you, Bradley."Mandy always felt uneasy alone with Bradley, unable to predict his next move."I'll rest now, Bradley."Bradley didn't stop her, and Mandy sighed with relief. She would act with Bradley but wouldn't risk her life for X's orders.-In her bedroom, Lio

Mandy headed downstairs and poured herself a glass of wine. As she prepared to leave with her drink, she spotted Esther by the window, gazing out at the distant sea."Would you like some wine?" Mandy asked.Esther had just taken some painkillers, and the lingering dull pain slowly faded."No, thanks, I don't drink," Esther replied. She hesitated for a moment, considering that she and Mandy had undergone liver donation surgery. "Ms. Pendleton, is your wound hurting?"Holding her wine glass, Mandy looked puzzled. "What wound?""The one from the liver donation."Mandy had only undergone a small incision in the operating room."It doesn't hurt at all. Are you in pain?" she asked.Esther furrowed her brows slightly and whispered, "A little.""Could it be psychological?" Mandy suggested. "Or perhaps it's the upcoming rain? I've heard that weather changes can sometimes cause subtle aches in wounds like this. If it doesn't get better, I recommend consulting Bradley or even having a do

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
