Chapter 691

Esther held the rifle, feeling its weight in her hands, causing her to tremble. She hadn't had much time to think before she aimed it at Bradley's forehead. She wanted to escape, to distance herself, and never let herself be soft-hearted toward Bradley again.Bradley raised an eyebrow, his cold eyes locked onto Esther as he provocatively commented, "Esther, your stance with the gun looks quite impressive."Under the scorching sun, Esther exuded a wild beauty. She appeared like a fierce lioness, baring its teeth, shaking its golden fur, radiating an intense allure that strangely stirred others' desires to conquer her."Bradley, please, just let me go!" Esther pleaded, her fingers trembling on the trigger.Bradley seized the rifle's front end and pressed the barrel against his forehead. "I won't let you go unless I die right here."Esther hadn't expected Bradley to be so fearless, as if he was certain she wouldn't dare pull the trigger. "Bradley, don't push me!"Beneath the sun, Br

Bradley said indifferently, "Place it down."Sally obediently set the box on the table.Bradley glanced at Esther, smiled wickedly, and beckoned, "Esther, come here and open your gift."Esther clutched the rifle and wondered why he had a gift for her.As Bradley began counting, "One, two..."Before he could reach three, Esther approached and casually discarded the rifle.The pink box was beautifully wrapped, but an unexplainable urge to flee washed over her as she gazed at it."Open it," Bradley coldly instructed.Esther shivered inexplicably but proceeded to unwrap the gift. The pink bow, perhaps due to it being a gift, was elegantly tied and easy to undo.A gentle tug on one corner of the pink satin bow, and it came apart effortlessly.Inside, she found a severed hand, covered in blood.Upon seeing the gruesome sight, Esther's legs gave way, and she collapsed. It felt as though her eyes were deceiving her. She glanced at the hand, nearly the size of Sunshine's, and tears w

Esther's eyes widened with terror, and she struggled desperately as Bradley gripped her jaw firmly. He was domineering and insane, commanding her, "Swallow it!"The taste of buttercream filled Esther's mouth, but instead of sweetness, she tasted nothing but the metallic tang of blood.Bradley began smearing the blood-looking cream all over her face.He warned, "Esther, remember this. I'm only merciful once. If there's a next time, you'll watch as her hand is cut off and delivered to you."Nausea churned in Esther's stomach. She didn't care that Bradley was still there and knelt down to vomit nearby.Now she understood that the severed hand from earlier wasn't real—it was a creation by a cake artist. Despite its artificial nature, the fear it had instilled made her scalp tingle, and she felt the pain as if she were truly being tortured.Bradley paid no attention to Esther's agony. He turned to Sally and declared, "You're fired.""Mr. Warner, I'm sorry..."Sally dreaded losing su

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
