Selene's gaze saw through it all. Men like Richard had trained her to read people.

Bradley was cold and ruthless by nature. Perhaps even now, he still didn't understand what Esther meant to him.

"Ms. Cassell, I don't think we're the type of relationship to discuss this." Bradley's burning gaze stayed on Selene. "You should know that Cole had an accident..."

Just the thought of Chadwick's voice made Selene seethe with hatred. She spoke in a low voice. "I know."

Even if Cole wasn't alive, she would avenge him if the DNA test proved he was her son.

She had failed as a mother. She had raised the son of an enemy, someone capable of killing her own son.

She wouldn't justify her actions but would seek revenge for her son, no matter the cost.

-

Bradley and Selene took a helicopter to Cole's place.

Bradley easily entered Cole's room code.

Upon entering, the stale scent of the place being vacant for some time filled the air. Cole's home was adorned in simple black, white, and gray, eve

    Bradley watched Selene silently, not interrupting. She stayed in sorrow for a while and eventually used a handkerchief to gently wipe her tears away.Selene had never imagined that her long-searched-for son would appear before her in this manner. Even if her son hadn't grown up by her side, he had become the embodiment of her ideal son. Had he grown up with her, he would have surely made her proud. Alas..."After Cole's accident, was his body never found?"Bradley solemnly confirmed, "No, it wasn't.""If his body wasn't found, it means he might still be alive." Selene stood up composedly, holding the DNA test. "Unless I find his body, I'll always believe he's still alive. Mr. Warner, thank you for giving me this hopeful news. I'll do what you asked."After a few steps, Selene turned back to look at the cold and ruthless Bradley."Mr. Warner, let me remind you that whatever you ask me to do is meaningless. If she is the person you think she is, what makes you think you can mend wh

    Bradley had an exceptional memory. Shane had only mentioned the email address and password just once, and he remembered them. He returned to his car, immediately using the tablet to log into the email.After entering the credentials, he discovered it was Shane's backup email. Inside were numerous emails Shane had sent.Casually opening the most recent email, Bradley found surveillance footage. The video took some time to load, but the screen soon displayed a scene."Esther! You murderer!""Did you know Mr. Warner is dead? He treated you so well, yet you could be so ruthless!""What right do an illegitimate daughter like you have to marry Mr. Warner?""Mr. Warner said to take care of her properly!"Several women surrounded Esther, launching a flurry of punches and kicks at her.Esther fought back, gripping one person's hair and aiming for her eyes. Despite her resistance, it was futile. Overwhelmed by the many, Esther stood no chance against them."Stop making noise! Quiet!"A

    Bradley thought in agony. He vaguely recalled Cole telling him about Esther being bullied in prison. How did he respond to Cole, then?He had said she deserved it and that it was her retribution!He truly didn't know he had wronged her back then.Although Bradley had only watched two videos, these two clips felt like two bloodied hands brutally tearing open his chest and leaving him to bear all the cruelty, pain, and regret alone.Bradley made a call to Jasper."It's me."Jasper was astonished by Bradley's call. "This is rare, Warner, calling me first! What's up?""Do you know what happened to Esther in prison?"Bradley's words confused Jasper. "What do you mean?""I'm asking if you know what Esther went through in prison?"Jasper stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the distant buildings, and sneered. "Warner, Esther is dead. Why ask now?"No! It's you, Bradley. When you ruthlessly abandoned her, did you ever think about what she'd go through?"Back then, I tri

    Kevin watched in horror at Esther displayed on the screen. She was surrounded and brutally attacked by several women in prison uniforms.These women weren't hitting her face but targeting her back and body.Kevin clenched his fists, his voice trembling as he asked, "Bradley, what is this?""Are you blind?"A terrifying rage surged across Bradley's face, pain filling his typically cold gaze. He had never imagined what Esther had endured during those five years when he knew nothing about her.It explained why her body was covered in scars.When she appeared at his grandfather's funeral, she looked frail, as light as a feather."Am I blind? Bradley, do you have a psychological disorder? How can you watch this?" Kevin turned to face Bradley, who sat on the sofa.Kevin couldn't comprehend what captivated Bradley about those videos. What was Bradley's intention in watching them?"Where did these things come from?"Kevin grabbed the remote from the table, promptly turning off the sc

    Bradley rose slowly, fetched a spare remote from a nearby drawer, and activated the projector's movie source. Following a startup animation, the top-notch speakers resonated with the piercing screams of women."Oh no! She's bleeding!""Could it be a miscarriage?""A miscarriage would be good. A bastard like this doesn't deserve to be in this world!"The screen displayed Esther lying in a pool of blood, clutching her abdomen and grabbing at the pants of a woman before her with bloodied hands."Please, save my child!"Esther's desperate pleas didn't soften the heart of the person before her.That person ruthlessly kicked Esther before disappearing from the camera with the others.The camera focused solely on Esther, struggling to crawl toward the direction of the door while supporting her heavily swollen belly with one hand.Although the camera wasn't very high definition, Kevin could still see blood staining Esther.The scene before his eyes was so tragic he didn't want to wat

    Even as Esther slipped into a coma, the operation pressed on.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor successfully delivered a pair of delicate baby girls. The operating room erupted into joyous applause in the triumphant moment of their birth."Now is not the time to celebrate. Next, I need to remove the placenta! Notify the blood bank to get ready in case of heavy bleeding.""Alright."Bradley observed as the doctor handled the placenta. He watched the nurse clean the two tiny babies, carefully wrapping them in adorable blankets before carrying them out of the operating room.The footage concluded.Bradley moved on to another email. The content featured Cole holding the babies.While cradling the infants, Cole reached out to Bradley. "Mr. Warner, Madam has given birth to a pair of lovely baby girls...""What do her illegitimate children have to do with me?" Bradley replied coldly in the video when Cole spoke those words."Mr. Warner, but..."Before Cole could finish hi

    One cut followed another, marking Esther's heart and body with wounds that could never fade.In the midst of this pain, Bradley couldn't help but ponder if she was disappointed in him. In her world, clinging to anything seemed futile. Perhaps she believed choosing freedom was better than being imprisoned in a dark, hopeless place.Without hesitation, she had pushed the accelerator, steering the car toward the cliff's edge, maybe thinking she was finally... free!Esther was free!But what about Bradley?He would forever be trapped in this cage, living a life filled with regret, fear, self-blame, and despair!Bradley, a once towering mountain, collapsed with a resounding crash.Startled, Kevin dialed 911, crouched beside Bradley, and muttered, "Bradley, did I burn your house in my past life or something? I truly owe you!"-The ambulance arrived.Bradley was taken to the emergency room.Fortunately, Bradley was young, and his condition wasn't as dire as it seemed. Even after f

    The faint fragrance of tea greeted Bradley's senses. His heart felt battered and bruised by the videos Shane had provided.He sat across from Gavin, observing his composed tea preparation. "You seem to enjoy tea?"Gavin took a sniff of the tea and replied, "Can't say I enjoy it. It's more of a habit."I enjoy the aroma of tea. Young folks like you might prefer coffee, but honestly, I can't get used to coffee. I prefer tea. You should try it. The process of brewing tea can soothe one's mood."Bradley didn't particularly favor tea or coffee. Sometimes, he needed coffee to stay alert. That was all."Mr. Warner, what do you plan to do once you find these people?"Bradley sneered. "Gavin, I'm not a kind person."He never was.How those women treated Esther would be reciprocated by him."Being too kind isn't a good thing either." Gavin refilled Bradley's tea cup when he saw that it was empty.As Bradley sipped the tea, it tasted extremely bitter to him even though it was clear and

    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
