Chapter 388
Esther had unknowingly written over 1,000 words, capturing their first encounter, deep affection for him,
misunderstandings, and final decision to part ways.
As words turned into sentences, their once passionate and sweet love faded into a distant memory
between the lines.
Finishing her letter, Esther couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer. She hugged her knees, burying
her head in her arms, and burst into tears.
After a while, Esther wiped her tears and sent the document to Tanya.
Initially, Tanya did not intend to read it, but her curiosity got the better of her. Esther’s words carried a
strong sense of immersion, allowing Tanya to witness a young girl’s pure passion burning throughout

The mountainous workload of the auditing team prevented Bradley from leaving the city. Despite his
anger, he endured the audit, anxiously checking his emails for something new.
Yet, nothing arrived. As a result, Bradley’s mood grew colder and gloomier, the atmosphere mirroring
his emotions.
Kevin knocked on Bradley’s office door and called out, “Bradley.”
Displeased, Bradley asked, “Are you here to ridicule me?”
Kevin had received a call from Tanya. She had informed him that Esther was planning to divorce
Bradley and wanted Kevin to testify against him in court.
A part of Kevin was still selfish, as he didn’t want to see Bradley and Esther’s marriage dissolve.
“Do you know where Esther is, Bradley?” Kevin asked again.
Bradley sneered, his eyes flashing with a sinister glimmer. “I knew it. That woman is still alive! She
must have many more tricks up her sleeve. She made Jasper and the Quills help her fake her death to
escape from me. But I’ll make her come back willingly!”
A cold chill ran down Kevin’s spine. “Have you ever considered why she wanted to escape from you,
Bradley?”
“Why should I care?” Bradley responded coldly.
Kevin continued, showing some resentment as he spoke. “I was relieved to know she hadn’t drowned
in the sea and died… I thought the shackles in my heart had finally come off. But during her absence, I
was haunted by nightmares, feeling the despair of drowning in the past. Whenever I woke up, I realized

eases my guilt toward her.”
Clearly unhappy with what he heard, Bradley demanded, “If you’re here to plead on her behalf, leave!”
“Bradley, we’re adults who should take responsibility for our actions,” Kevin insisted,
wanting to convince Bradley to do the right thing. “Please stop pushing her into a corner. You’ve
already driven her to escape you. Are you going to force her to take her own life now? Is the only way
you’ll let her go if she dies in front of your eyes?”
“This is my problem, Kevin, not yours!” Bradley shot Kevin a cold and sinister glare. “I’m the one who
decides what Esther does and whether she lives or dies! Me!”
“Bradley!” Kevin finally broke down mentally, realizing how unhinged Bradley had become.” You’re
crazy! Truly crazy! You should see a psychiatrist right now!”
“Kevin…” Bradley snickered and spoke through gritted teeth. “You’re the one who’s crazy. Now, leave!”
