“No,” Bradley said coldly as he walked away. “Starting today, inform the kitchen to prepare an extra serving of
food.”
Mandy gasped and nervously asked, her lips trembling, “Bradley, you didn’t really… Esther…”
Bradley remained silent and walked away.
Mandy turned and opened the refrigerator, pouring herself a glass of fine wine she fetched from the cellar. She
lamented her past foolishness as Liliane. Why had she acted like a virtuous woman in front of Bradley? A man like
Bradley didn’t deserve that!
Mandy took a sip, thinking she might as well head to the home theater to sing since she couldn’t sleep anyway.
She had initially considered seeking revenge against Esther, but now, she didn’t need to lift a finger.

watching his beloved great-grandson lose his ability to speak and his approved granddaughter-in-law being
imprisoned by Bradley. She was sure he would be furious.
Mandy sang her heart out in the home theater.
She considered herself merciful. Although she had prepared allergens for Esther, the amount wasn’t lethal. It was
just that torture was inevitable.
She devilishly smiled, thinking that her reason for not including a lethal dose wasn’t rooted in true kindness. She just
wanted Esther to live and endure Bradley’s torment. The torment from the man she loved would gradually shatter
her mind until she felt life was no longer worth living.
Mandy sipped her red wine and sang while Bradley returned to his bedroom with the snacks. He didn’t go directly
into the secret chamber but began some work at his desk.
Upon seeing a message from Jolene, he smirked and placed his phone aside.
“How is it?” Jasper couldn’t wait and asked with great concern when he saw Jolene sending the text.
Jolene pushed her phone screen before Jasper, her voice trembling. “Mr. Warner blocked me.”
Bradley’s action was just as Jasper had anticipated.
Taking a deep breath, Jasper stared at Jolene’s seemingly innocent face and scornfully asked, “Think about it,
Jolene. Who else in this world would risk their safety to save you?
“If it weren’t for you deceiving Esther, she would have left this place tomorrow morning and started a new life in a
foreign country.
“She’s fought so hard to escape this hell, and instead of lending her a helping hand, you shoved her right back into
that inescapable abyss!

“Jolene, one doesn’t need to have blood on their hands to be a murderer!
“You’re also committing murder because you’ve strangled Esther’s hope for life.”
After Jasper finished speaking, he sat aside and took out his phone, intending to call Bradley. However, he hung up
silently. He worried that his tone would enrage Bradley, so he began typing on his phone.
Jasper: [Bradley, Esther is afraid of the dark and confined spaces. She used to be locked in stairwells by Leah quite
often.]
Jasper: [She’s not a picky eater, but she’s allergic to certain foods, like starfruit, hazelnuts…]
Jasper: [Bradley, I beg you, please don’t harm Esther! Please don’t extinguish her last bit of hope for this world.]
Jasper: [Felix still doesn’t know that his mother has gone missing. No one knows how to explain it to him. If you
can…]
