Furthermore, even if someone failed to recognize Bradleyâs true identity, he could rely on his bodyguardsâ imposing presence to take control of the situation effortlessly.
As soon as the onlookers heard Bradleyâs words, they quickly deleted the videos. However, within a minute, Estherâs video had already spread across the Internet.
The man who initially posted the video had a pale face and said, âMr. Warner, Iâve deleted the video, but-â
âYou did well!â Bradley coldly interrupted his explanation, his icy gaze filled with a lethal intent. He turned to his bodyguards and commanded, âThere are still 29 minutes left. Ensure he receives the lawyerâs letter.â
The cool and refreshing aura exuded by Bradley, akin to the scent of a snowy pine, enveloped Esther, making her feel safe and protected in his embrace. Her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
âDarling, take me away,â she whispered.
Bradley held Estherâs slender waist, his gaze filled with a chilling resolve as he glanced at Billyâs pale and remorseful face.
Billy never anticipated that his impulsive act of kneeling would once again thrust Esther into the spotlight.
âOkay,â Bradley replied.
His warning gaze swept across the cafe, seemingly etching the faces of every individual present into his memory. Those who had merely watched the spectacle a moment ago now lowered their heads, fearful of provoking this vengeful deity.
Considering Estherâs emotional state, Bradley decided against taking her back to Primus Mansion.
Instead, he took her directly to the psychologist, Xara, for care.
Esther fell asleep in Bradleyâs arms during the car ride. Gently, he placed her on the couch in Xaraâs consultation room, careful not to disturb her slumber.
âDr. Sadler, please conduct a counseling session with her once she wakes up,â Bradley instructed.
âUnderstood,â Xara replied.
As Xara observed Estherâs serene sleeping face, she couldnât help but sigh. How could there be a woman with such a tragic destiny in this world?
Suppressing his anger, Bradley stormed out of the psychologistâs consultation room, his emotions erupting like a volcano.
He confronted Billy in a wild and furious manner, accusing him, âDid you want to kill her?â
Billy quickly denied, âNo, I didnât. It wasnât my intention.
âBy publicly kneeling before her as her father, did you consider her mental strength? Do you know that she lost all will to live and only wanted to die after losing her daughter? What difference does your action make from killing her?â
With a guilty expression, Billy explained, âI truly didnât want to harm her or push her toward death.
Bradley, you need to understand that my daughter-Liliane, she only has three months to live. Her greatest wish is to be your bride. What am I supposed to do?
âIâm caught between a rock and a hard place! If you think Iâm at fault, then you should bear even more responsibility. Why did you involve them? Youâre the one who made sisters turn against each other!â
âHahâ¦â Bradley coldly sneered, âLiliane knew that I was married and still chose to sleep with me. Do you really think I have no clue what sheâs after?â
âWhat do you mean?â Billy asked.
âDonât you know that Liliane always takes what belongs to Esther?
âIf Liliane genuinely suspected something was wrong with me back then, why didnât she report it to the police? Why didnât she call the emergency services?
âI was drunk and unaware, but she was sober! If she had no ulterior motives, she could have easily called the police!
âShe didnât, and instead willingly became the third party that ruined my marriage with Esther. So why is she pretending to be so innocent now?â
