As time passed, Cole grew up. Adopting older children like Cole wasn't something people were keen on doing anymore.

As Dylan thought of Cole, his gaze held a trace of fierceness. Since his adoption, he had lost contact with Cole. Most adopted kids were taken in at a young age. The older they grew, the better their memory, making it harder to forget everything.

Even though Dylan remembered childhood incidents vividly, he never brought them up to put his adoptive parents' minds at ease. However, he had been privately searching for his childhood friend, Cole.

Dylan was aware that had Cole been a bit selfish, he would have been adopted long ago with his intelligence and amiability. Cole would always take care of the younger children in the orphanage, and he later received sponsorship from the Warner Group to study abroad.

When Dylan finally reconnected with Cole, he was already employed at the Warner Group. The two of them would meet occasionally, and during those reunions, Dylan wante

    Two weeks flew by quickly.Esther, who feigned being ill, finally recovered under Agatha's "careful treatment". No longer needing to feign sickness, Esther felt her body had lightened considerably."Grandma Agatha, can I go out and watch a movie?" Esther asked.Agatha hesitated momentarily as she observed Esther leaning on her arm. However, she decided against mentioning that Bradley had sent his special assistant to investigate Sweet Town. It seemed likely that Bradley wasn't aware that they had intentionally manipulated any information Dylan might discover in the town."Let Logan accompany you," Agatha replied.Esther and Logan were only pretending to be an engaged couple, so she retorted, "Logan is very busy.""Esther, your safety is the most important thing," Agatha emphasized, prompting Esther to reluctantly agree.After Esther called Logan to fix the time, he drove to pick her up for the movie. They arrived at the cinema's underground parking and headed for the elevator.

    "Bradley!"Clad in a coat, Mandy arrived belatedly.In her role as Bradley's romance mentor, Mandy had been imparting lessons on the reciprocity of authentic emotions. Bradley followed her advice, delving into various novels about pursuing a wife and gradually grasping some essence from them.Mandy and Bradley arranged to meet at the cinema today because they both wanted to do some research and apologize to Esther using her favorite movie."Bradley, this cinema is from my research on countless cinemas in Capitus..."Bradley ignored Mandy and headed straight to the snack counter. "I want to buy the same snacks those two just bought.""Sure, please wait a moment."When Bradley walked into the cinema with popcorn and cola, he realized his seat was right next to Esther's. They had booked a VIP lounge with a two-person massage sofa. The sofa's armrest was spacious enough to hold drinks and popcorn.Bradley strode over and sat next to Esther.Mandy was stunned upon seeing Esther's f

    Upon hearing Logan's words, Esther scolded, "Logan, hush now. Focus on the movie!"Logan obediently refrained from speaking, engrossing himself in the movie alongside Esther.The film Esther had picked was a sci-fi flick, and the two occasionally leaned in to discuss various details about the movie.Meanwhile, Bradley fixed his eyes on Esther, seemingly pondering the meaning behind what she had just said. Did she still like him? No, did she possibly still love him? Was her reaction a hint of jealousy?Seeing Bradley's distraction, Mandy raised an eyebrow and maintained a safe distance from him. She supported her chin with one hand while attentively watching the movie. Initially, this wasn't the type of movie she favored, but for some unknown reason, she found herself deeply engrossed in the storyline today.The movie's runtime of over two hours wasn't short. Yet, for Esther, time seemed to fly by. She turned to Logan, feeling unsatisfied. "Logan, there must be a sequel to this mov

    Esther snickered. "Then write a disclaimer."Logan rebuked, "Esther, stop this nonsense! Murder is murder. There's no such thing as a disclaimer!"Even if it was for the greater good, it was still murder! The purpose of the law was to uphold justice in society."Logan, this is between Esther and me. None of your concern!" Bradley pressured Esther and asked, "Esther, do you really want to take my life?"Esther looked surprised and laughed instead. "Write a disclaimer, and I'll fulfill your wish right now!"Bradley lost his rationality due to Esther's provocation. He turned to Mandy and said, "Mandy, go get paper and a pen."Mandy looked shocked at the madness between Esther and Bradley. She used to think Bradley was crazy enough, but she never expected Esther to be even more insane!Mandy attempted to intervene. "Bradley—" Bradley's voice turned cold. "I said go, so you go!""Let's find another place. This is a movie theater, and they're open for business. Don't stain their pr

    Esther looked at the fruit knife, its blade gleaming with a chilling light under the lamp's glow. She snatched it, weighed its heft, and her eyes held a glint of bloodthirsty light.She wasn't sure why Bradley was convinced she wouldn't act on it! But she was very clear—she despised Bradley deeply."May I borrow paper and a pen?" Esther knew that even if Bradley wrote a disclaimer, it wouldn't hold any legal effect. Still, she handed the paper and pen the staff had given her to Bradley."Write a disclaimer," she instructed.Bradley looked at the paper and pen Esther handed over, pain filling his gaze as he looked at her. "Are you sure?""Did you think I was just joking with you?" Esther smirked provocatively and asked, "Or maybe you're afraid of death now?"Esther's provocation effectively stirred Bradley's emotions. He was taking a risk, wagering on whether Esther harbored any feelings for him. He pondered if she wouldn't end his life.In the end, Bradley wrote a disclaimer.E

    "Bradley, are you suffering from early-onset dementia?" Esther took steps closer to Bradley.Bradley involuntarily stepped back as he saw the killing intent brewing in Esther's eyes. "If you have dementia, it's alright! Let me tell you, I'm just temporarily sparing your life. I'll return double-fold the way you treated her back then!"Between her and Bradley lay an insurmountable sea of blood feud! It wasn't that she wasn't taking her revenge—it just wasn't the time yet!"What do you mean?" Bradley raised an eyebrow, his gaze at Esther without the past fondness and affection.Step by step, Esther forced Bradley back until they were in close proximity. She grabbed Bradley's collar and taunted by his ear, "Bradley, you haven't forgotten that you owe me three lives, have you?"Bradley nervously swallowed. A ludicrous idea popped into his mind as he looked at Esther's ear. He wanted to... bite her ear."When did I owe you three lives?"Esther didn't intend to clarify Bradley's confu

    Mandy looked at Bradley in astonishment, thinking, 'Regardless of who this Esther is, isn't it quite normal to want to kill you based on what you did!?'"Perhaps… It seems… Maybe..." Mandy's words trailed off as her phone rang.Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly answered the call. "Hello.""Leah's being released today."Upon hearing that, Mandy forgot about Bradley. She hurriedly replied, "I'll be there right away."She ended the call, lowered her head to conceal her joy, and said, "Bradley, sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to. Can I leave first?""Go away!"Despite Mandy's efforts to hide it, Bradley noticed her immense joy.Mandy was unfazed by Bradley's angry shout as she grabbed her bag and dashed away, not caring that she was wearing high heels. She ran so fast that she disappeared from Bradley's sight like a gust of wind.From the parking lot, Mandy drove straight to the prison gate.After parking the car, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror.

    Mandy thought buying something for herself shouldn't be deception, right?"Alright." Leah sat in the car, observing Mandy, who was driving.In fact, she felt a sense of familiarity. She didn't ask or confirm. Instead, she just looked at Mandy's face, trying to find traces of her daughter.It was futile, however.-Mandy brought Leah back to her residence, having prepared a suite for her. Inside the walk-in closet were brands Leah often wore. The vanity table held her preferred skincare products, and all sorts of jewelry were also available.Apart from not being able to openly acknowledge their mother-daughter relationship, Mandy did everything she could to provide Leah with the most familiar and best things."Aunt Leah, these are all prepared for you. Do you like them? If not, tell me, I'll change them!"Seeing Mandy's cautious demeanor touched Leah deeply. "I like them very much."Mandy sighed in relief and said, "Then rest well. I'll be out for a bit."Gently closing the 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
