Bradley and Esther's divorce case returned to court for a reexamination. Unlike the first hearing, where both were present, Esther didn't show up in person this time but was represented by her lawyer, Tanya.

Bradley glared at Tanya, who sat across from him, his eyes burning with anger.

Tanya stayed focused on representing Esther, seemingly unaware of Bradley's rage.

Bradley tried to message Esther, but it was like tossing a rock into the ocean. When he attempted to call her, he discovered he had been blocked once more.

Sitting in the audience, Mandy couldn't help but smirk as she observed Bradley, who struggled to contain his feelings. He probably hadn't expected Esther to skip this divorce trial.

Mandy wondered where Esther might be. While this day was significant for Esther, something even more important seemed to be on her agenda.

Clark's family had returned from abroad. Esther felt compelled to meet them as a concerned party in the accident.

    Esther gazed up at Jasper, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears. "But what?"Jasper took a deep breath and spoke hoarsely. "According to the driver's family and friends, the driver doesn't drink because he's allergic to alcohol.""Why would he drink if he's allergic to alcohol?" Esther's suspicions about Bradley grew stronger. She still had doubts about him."I'm not sure," Jasper replied, his voice low.Esther was equally uncertain. She didn't want to suspect Bradley, but the evidence seemed to point in his direction."Esther, if this car accident was indeed an accident..."Esther looked at Jasper, her eyes filled with tears, silently asking if he still believed it was an accident at that point."By the way, Esther, is it okay that you didn't attend court today?" Jasper asked.Esther nodded and replied softly, "It's fine. We have enough evidence."After a moment of silence, she continued. "Even if we fail, it's okay. We still have the future... I don't want to be involved

    Esther had anticipated winning the divorce trial, but the news of her triumph filled her with joy. "Really? Am I officially divorced? Will he appeal again?"While descending the stairs, Tanya replied, "To avoid more issues, meet me at the office now. I'll help you get your divorce certificate."In this re-examination of the divorce case, Esther and Bradley were declared divorced again. Naturally, Esther was very happy about it."Alright. We'll meet at the office." With a sense of relief, Esther hung up and told Jasper, "I've finally regained my freedom.""Congratulations."Esther's eyes sparkled, much like the stars in the sky. "Thank you, Jasper."In fact, she could go through this divorce case with Bradley again due to the support of many people by her side. Their support gave her the strength not to give up."Esther, aren't you meeting Ms. Hill? Let me take you!" Jasper offered to drive her.Esther shook her head and gently said, "Jasper, go ahead with your work. I have body

    "How did I work hard? The proof was all there for anyone to see. Unless Mr. Warner could change things all on his own, it's pretty usual for a judge to rule in favor of the divorce. By the way, do you want to see the judgment?"Esther eagerly looked at her and said, "Yes.""Okay, let's go inside and wait for a bit."Tanya and Esther headed to the waiting area and sat on the benches. Tanya handed the judgment to Esther.She gazed at the document, shocked, and asked, "So, with this, can I really get the divorce certificate?""Absolutely."Esther carefully went through the judgment page by page and examined every word, finding her unwavering determination to escape this marriage in every line.Tanya glanced at the people in the distance. The process for getting a divorce was different from marriage registration. One side was filled with sadness, the other with joy. It was the same world but with different life experiences."They look so happy."Upon hearing Tanya's remark, Esther

    Esther gazed at Bradley with steady eyes, her expression calm and composed. She said, "Yes, I want a divorce.""No regrets?""Absolutely not," Esther replied.A trace of anger flickered in Bradley's cold eyes. He handed his ID to the staff and said, "Let's get this done together."Upon giving his ID, he took a seat next to Esther, and an invisible weight pressed down on her. Esther instinctively moved away from him as though another moment by his side might freeze her.The staff processed two divorce certificates before Esther and Bradley. The new divorce certificates were stamped, while the old marriage certificates received a simple "invalid" seal.Esther received her divorce certificate and stared at it in disbelief for a while. Finally, she was divorced! She had established a clear boundary between herself and Bradley. From now on, they would go their separate ways.Esther left with Tanya, paying no heed to Bradley, who watched her departing figure with a fierce gaze. A shad

    Kevin, Jasper, and Steffan were preparing a barbecue on the terrace outside the glass house. With the screen above the glasshouse opened, a slight tilt of the head allowed them to see the brilliant stars light years away.The barbecued delicacies they made themselves were delicious and healthy, and the kids were having a great time.Kevin grilled a plate of food, put it in front of Esther, and said, "Esther, eat more. You might not get to enjoy my barbecues again."Jasper looked disgusted and cut in, "Kevin, look at how burnt it is. Esther, you should try mine!"Xara watched Kevin and Jasper exchange with a mysterious smile. Everyone gathered together, enjoying their barbecue.Jasper approached Esther. "I have a gift for you."Esther was slightly surprised. "A gift?""To celebrate your new beginning." Jasper took Felix and Sunshine's hands and said, "Follow me."Puzzled, Esther followed Jasper to the outdoor terrace. She looked around but didn't see a wrapped gift. Suddenly,

    Jolene's voice sounded panicked on the other end of the phone, causing Esther's heart to race. She nervously asked, "Jolene, what's happening?""Esther, my stomach is in excruciating pain... Please come and help me..."Esther quickly asked, "Where are you right now?"Jolene abruptly ended the call and sent Esther her location, but her phone became unreachable.Esther hurriedly left, apologizing to the others, "I'm sorry. I have to go."Xara asked, "What's going on, Esther?""It's Jolene, the girl Chadwick used to look after. She might be unwell, and I need to check on her," Esther replied.Kevin, always straightforward, asked, "Esther, why do you care about her? Haven't you seen how Chadwick treated you?"Jasper swatted Kevin's shoulder and added, "Jolene's father, just like Esther's father, was a DEA agent. Maybe Esther can't just turn a blind eye.""I see." Kevin suddenly understood Esther's concern. "But it's strange. She and Esther aren't particularly close, so why didn't

    "Jolene, I know you're hurting, and it's tough for you to accept all this, but why... Why did you get involved in this? Do you realize that once you start, your life is ruined forever?" Esther said.Jolene smiled bitterly. "I know, but it's too late!""I'm calling the police right now!" Esther grabbed her phone and dialed 911.Suddenly, Jolene clutched her stomach and chuckled, looking at Esther. "Call for an ambulance!"A strong smell of blood slowly filled the room. Esther noticed fresh blood on Jolene's dress, and her shock prompted her to rush to Jolene, nervously asking, "W-What have you done, Jolene?!""I didn't want to carry this burden. I've tried countless methods. I've even been on the operating table, but I found out I couldn't do it. Her father is a scumbag, but she's innocent!"It was only then that Esther noticed abortion pills in the trash can. She picked up the medicine box and asked in panic, "Did you take these pills?

    Esther tumbled into Bradley's arms as though she had dropped from the sky. His scent, crisp as pine, wrapped around her like an unyielding net.Bradley clasped her slender waist, effortlessly drawing her into his world, from which escape seemed impossible."Mr... Mr. Warner…" Jolene clutched her stomach and impatiently asked Bradley, who stood in the wardrobe. "What you promised me...""I won't break my word," Bradley assured, then vanished into the wardrobe.Jolene gently closed the wardrobe door, leaning against the wall before returning to the couch.As she settled on the couch, regret washed over her. She realized her mistake. She shouldn't have used herself as bait to lure Esther to the motel. She knew better than anyone that she had nothing left, and Esther had come to see her out of concern. Nonetheless, she had ultimately betrayed Esther's trust.Jolene held her phone, trying to convince herself not to be soft-hearted. She told herself she had done nothing wrong. What had

    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
