The netizens began boycotting the Warner Groupâs products, overwhelming their PR department with furious calls.
The netizensâ anger stemmed from Bradleyâs heartless act of sending Estherâs children to an orphanage, falsely claiming they had died during a complicated childbirth. Regardless of Estherâs alleged infidelity, Bradley didnât have the right to treat her that way.
Even if Esther were guilty, the legal system should address it. Bradleyâs behavior was akin to murder, as he had no authority to enforce such treatment in the name of justice.
The secretary nervously observed Bradleyâs stern expression as he read the netizenâs comments. âMr.
Warner, should we release a statement?â
âNo need.â Bradleyâs gaze shifted to Estherâs image on Frontline Scoop, a hint of malice in his eyes.
âArrange a plane ticket for me,â he commanded.
The secretary reminded with concern, âMr. Warner, the audit team is still here. Leaving the country isnât advisable right now.â
âGet out!â
Bradley had completely forgotten about the audit team at the company.
The secretary sighed in relief and replied softly, âAbsolutely.â
After the secretary left, Kevin, who had been on the line with Bradley, finally spoke up. Bradley, has Esther gone abroad to find Pixie?â
Kevin checked the Internet for news about Esther and found Jasperâs posts, along with the publicâs opinions on Bradley and Estherâs situation.
He used to believe that Esther wanted to escape Bradleyâs controlling behavior. But now he realized that her true aim was to locate the adopted Pixie.
âKevin, what do you want to say?â Bradleyâs tone was angry. âDo you also believe Iâm a scumbag who doesnât care about his daughter like the netizens?â
âThatâs not what I meant.â Kevin quickly changed the subject. âDuring the interview, Esther mentioned that when she and Felix were kidnapped, they discovered an organ trafficking ring. Later, when searching for Pixie, she encountered the same kidnappers and learned about Pixieâs whereabouts after an investigation. She has done a lot for Pixie-â
âSpare me your words, Kevin!â Bradleyâs glowering gaze fell on the images of Esther and Pixie.
He hung up and immediately called the legal department, instructing them, âAdd another item to the divorce lawsuit. I want Pixieâs custody.â
Upon hearing Bradleyâs new demand, the legal departmentâs lawyer could not help but remind, âMr.
Warner, Ms. Quill found your daughter. The judge-â
âHow to persuade the judge is your concern. I just want custody of Pixie.â
The lawyer said, âMr. Warner, your divorce lawsuit is already the center of public attention. If you fight for custody now, the impact it has on you-â
Bradley coldly interrupted him. âItâs your business how the lawsuit goes about. I just want custody.â
He wanted Esther to have nothing. He wanted her to forever atone for Thomasâ death.
