The psychologist, Bethany Hackett, observed Bradley as he fell into deep contemplation in response to her words.

Without disturbing him, Bethany allowed Bradley the space to ponder the question at hand.

After a prolonged silence, Bradley slowly raised his gaze to meet Bethany's. "I hope she's alive."

Bethany's words had prompted Bradley to seriously consider the question. He vividly remembered the car plummeting off the cliff, the engulfing flames, and Esther being pushed into the incinerator. All signs pointed to Esther being dead.

Nevertheless, Bradley persisted in the search, convincing himself that she was still alive.

"Let me ask you again. Do you think she's alive because you believe it will alleviate your guilt?"

Bradley looked at Bethany and shook his head. "No. She's a cunning woman who's good at acting."

Bethany maintained a gentle gaze on Bradley until his voice gradually subsided.

"Do I have a psychological disorder?" he asked.

With understanding, Bethany replied,

    "If you don't love her, you should let her soar freely."If you love her, you should hold her like a delicate flower, showering her with affection."Your pride, your arrogance, your dominance—they're all the culprits that pushed her to death."Everyone familiar with Bradley and Esther's history deemed Bradley the culprit. Regardless of his self-defense, it amounted to mere self-deception.The truth was within Bradley's grasp, yet he repeatedly refused to acknowledge it."I... I..." Bradley pondered Felix's drawings, Felix's illness, and the whereabouts of his and Esther's missing daughters. An indescribable glimmer of emotion flickered in his eyes.

    After Bradley's departure, it took Mandy a while to snap out of her thoughts. Serving Bradley wasn't something she truly desired, but wasn't that X's assigned task for her? With Bradley no longer interested, would X blame her for not completing the mission?Upon returning to her room, Mandy promptly called X to report Bradley's recent actions.After listening to Mandy's report, X's mechanical voice sounded. "I understand. The mission was completed well."Hearing the mysterious X utter these words, Mandy couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, tentatively asking, "Boss, are you genuinely not being sarcastic?""No. You can enjoy some time abroad before returning." X replied.With this confirmation from X, Mandy cleared her throat and asked, "May I know who donated their liver to Bradley during the transplant?"Mandy knew it was impossible she was Bradley's donor, but she was genuinely curious about the identity of the liver donor."You shouldn't ask what you shouldn't." X abruptly hun

    "Hello, is Liliane doing okay?" Leah asked.Mandy couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Leah, compared to Liora, embodied the ideal mother. Mandy struggled to restrain herself from uttering a simple "Mom"."She passed."Leah's eyes widened in shock, and she stared at Mandy as if unable to grasp the reality. She whispered, "Impossible!"Her Liliane must still be alive."Ms. Walpole, given the circumstances back then, if Liliane didn't die, she might have ended up in prison. You know her situation..."Leah pleaded through the glass wall, "Good girl, tell me about my Liliane…""Ms. Walpole, calm down and listen to me!"Taking a deep breath, Leah forced herself to calm down. "Go on.""I brought you some shredded squid. Isn't that your favorite?"When Leah heard this, she scrutinized Mandy.Leah didn't eat shredded squid.When Liliane was still young, they had devised a code that only belonged to them—a signal for Liliane's safety was the mention of "dried squid".

    X suddenly laughed, sending shivers down Mandy's spine. Subconsciously, she gripped the steering wheel, her palms breaking into a thin layer of cold sweat."Of course, you can meet your mother, Mandy," said X.Mandy sensed a warning in X's voice directed at her. She, being Mandy, knew her mother shouldn't be Leah."I was wrong," Mandy admitted, speaking solemnly. "I won't make the same mistake again.""After Ms. Walpole is released, I will arrange for her to be your attendant," X stated.Mandy was briefly stunned but happily exclaimed, "Thank you, boss!"X ended the call.Mandy touched her back and felt a fine layer of sweat. She took a deep breath, started the car, and left the parking space.X had never stopped her when she sent things to Leah before. However, she received a warning when she came to see Leah this time.

    Clark laughed heartily. "Compared to being in a coma, I'm doing pretty well now."Clark would be a lifelong comatose patient had luck not sided with him. Agatha's intervention had spared him that fate. It wasn't the fear of being in a coma that bothered him—it was the worry that his wife and children would feel guilty and blame themselves if it happened."I'm sorry I'm only coming to see you now," Bradley said.Clark had essentially witnessed Bradley grow up and held a deep affection for him. Noticing the dark circles under Bradley's eyes, Clark asked with concern, "And you? Haven't you moved on from the shadow of Esther's death?"Bradley sat in silence for a while.Daphne placed tea and fruits in front of Bradley before returning to the kitchen to busy herself."Clark, back then..."Few knew about Bradley's secret room. Bradley was well aware that Kevin would never have discovered it without Clark's guidance."You're wondering why I revealed the location of the secret room to

    Clark was unaware of the profound impact of his words on Bradley. Sighing inwardly, he realized that someone born into privilege, like Bradley, might struggle to truly empathize with ordinary people. From birth, individuals like Bradley stood at the pinnacle, commanding the world and appearing invincible."Esther gave birth to twin daughters and a son in the prison hospital. The son is Felix, and Cole took away the twin daughters." Clark stated.Bradley was well aware of Clark's words. Regarding the whereabouts of his daughters, Cole held the most information. Unfortunately, Cole was no longer in this world."I investigated Cole's background. Sponsored by Mr. Thomas, he regularly visited Sunflower Welfare when alive."He did this partly because he was an orphan himself and partly because he showed special attention to Pixie and Tinkerbell. The staff at Sunflower Welfare can confirm this."As for why the DNA tests for Pixie and Tinkerbell don't match, I suspect someone swapped the

    Bradley always felt as though Esther hadn't passed away—he maintained the belief that she might reappear in some country or city at any moment."Clark, I aspire to build a business empire of my own," Bradley confessed.Upon receiving the equity transfer letter from the Warner Group, Bradley had observed that Felix was the designated transferee. He had promptly signed it, acknowledging Felix as the future leader of the Warner Group under his vigilant gaze."You were once a celebrated figure with the Midas touch on Wall Street. You can certainly create another miracle of your own," Clark commented.In addition to the Warner Group, Bradley owned undisclosed companies. These entities operated discreetly, shielding his identity, which had facilitated the Warner Group's swift response to Oliver's initial suppression.Bradley stood up, prepared to leave.

    Hearing the distinctive ringtone of her specially marked push notification, Esther retrieved her phone and opened the new messages. Bradley's post greeted her, and she sneered instantly."Scum! Even after tormenting my sister to death, he's here pretending to be affectionate? Disgusting."Glancing at Esther, Logan said, "If you have something to attend to, you can leave.""I'm fine." Esther decisively closed the app.Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the frustration in her heart. Dealing with a man like Bradley would probably shorten her lifespan by several years. What mattered now was partnering well with Logan, excelling in her performance, and gathering information about her enemies from Gabriel.Logan silently stared out of the window.Stakeouts required patience. Staying in one place for ten days or half a month was common. Logan had a good mentality, never being impatient. After doing this job for a long time, his temperament had become more stable.

    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
