Jasperâs words pierced Bradleyâs heart. He smirked sinisterly and tapped on Estherâs photo on the tablet screen. âJasper, you should ask Esther which is more important to her. Her laughable self-esteem or her daughter? If she wants my cooperation, she should come back and beg me!â
Jasper punched the tablet, cracking the screen like a spider web. Ignoring the blood on his hand, he asked, âBradley, are you even human? How could you use your daughter to threaten Esther? You⦠A man like you should be abandoned and have nothing!â
âJasper, let me kindly remind you that no matter how much you do for Esther, sheâs still my wife. Sheâll never escape from my grasp as long as I donât go through the divorce procedure.â Bradleyâs glee was evident as he watched Jasperâs fury.
He nonchalantly brushed his hair and sneered. âYou can tell her that she should hide forever if sheâs capable. Otherwise, she should come back to my side. She can kneel in front of me, beg, and repent.
Then I might considerâ¦â
âBradley Warner, youâre truly a heartless madman!â Jasperâs expression was cold and gloomy. His words were like knives, tormenting Bradleyâs lonely heart.
âA man like you doesnât deserve anyoneâs love. To end up lonely without anything is your final destination.â Jasper left after saying that.
Bradley watched his determined departure with a frivolous gaze and smirked disdainfully.
âJasper, so what if you love Esther?
âSo what if youâre willing to do anything for her?
âThe man she loves is me. No matter how many things you do for her, theyâll never compare to one thing I do for her.â
Bradley logged onto his social media account and typed a line.
Bradley: [Esther, come and beg me personally.]
This was only his second post since registering the account. The first was the extravagant reward for finding Esther.
The comment section of the post was immediately filled with ignorant netizens.
Esther had specially set Bradleyâs account to get exclusive notifications, so she saw his post as soon as it was posted. Her face turned pale, and her phone slipped from her hands to the intricately patterned carpet.
Bradleyâs post was as arrogant and domineering as he was. Esther understood that he had deliberately sent this message to her, knowing she was not dead and that she could see what he had posted.
She suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable nausea and staggered to the bathroom, dry heaving into the toilet. Cold beads of sweat drenched her body while her disheveled bangs clung to her face.
The past flashed before Estherâs eyes like an old film. The once sweet infatuations were now transformed into a series of wounds that wrapped around her heart.
Since Bradley imprisoned her, she knew he was like an emotionless monster, incapable of feeling empathy for anyone, let alone understanding her situation. He always centered everything on himself and did whatever he pleased. Whether his actions would harm her or not was never within his consideration.
Esther could not help but give herself a hard slap on the face.
âEsther, do you see clearly now? Do you now know what kind of man Bradley is?â
