Despite that, Esther took advantage of his moment of softness and desired to take Felix away from him forever. She had repeatedly betrayed his trust and crossed his boundaries time and time again. Such a person no longer deserved his affection.
âI hope you wonât regret this in the future,â Clark said.
As Clark turned to leave, Bradley suddenly called out, âClark, have someone weld shut all the windows and doors in her room.â
Clark was at a loss for words.
Was this something a person should do?
After Bradley took Esther away again, Billy felt both anxious and furious. However, he felt helpless as he was alone and unable to challenge Bradleyâs immense power. He called the people from the workshop to move his car and repeatedly dialed Jasperâs number.
After 30 attempts, Jasper finally answered the call.
âMr. Anstey?â
Billyâs voice trembled with relief upon hearing Jasperâs voice. He took a deep breath and said earnestly, Mr. Searle, where are you right now? Can we meet?â
âMr. Anstey, Iâm currently overseas. Is there something you need?â
Billy saw Jasper as a potential force against Bradley. He replied anxiously, âBradley has imprisoned Esther!â
âWhat? Imprisoned?â Jasper exclaimed in disbelief, âWhy would Bradley do such a thing?â
Billy sighed helplessly. âItâs a long story. Mr. Searle, I called you because I wanted to ask if you could help us find a way to rescue Esther from Bradley.â
âIâll take the next flight back and contact you once I land.â
âOkay⦠Okay.â
Although Billy wasnât sure if Jasper would be able to help rescue Esther from Bradley, having one more person meant having one more source of strength. As far as Billy knew, since Estherâs accident five years ago, everyone had distanced themselves from her. Jasper was the only one who had been visiting and sending her things.
Eight hours later, Billy met Jasper in his office.
âMr. Anstey, please have some coffee.â
Billy couldnât bring himself to drink the coffee when he thought of Esther. He waved his hand and urgently explained, âWhen I went to Warner Manor today, I discovered that Bradley had chained Esther up with iron chains.
âMr. Searle, even if Esther was responsible for what happened five years ago, she has already spent five years in prison and has given birth to Bradleyâs children. Itâs time to move on from this terrible mistake. The law has shown leniency toward her, so why does Bradley continue to treat her this way?â
Jasperâs handsome face darkened, and he pondered for a moment before asking, âWhat does Esther want? Does she want to leave Bradley?â
âYes! She wants to!â Billy covered his face with both hands, speaking in anguish. âBut Warner Manor is so big, with so many bodyguards and servants. Where can she escape to? Mr. Searle, can you think of a solution? Letâs save Esther. Sheâs still so young. Her life shouldnât be controlled by Bradley forever.â
Jasper rubbed his temples and replied calmly, âActually, I heard about the incident involving Esther and Felix while I was abroad. But I never expected Bradley to take his anger out on her. Mr. Anstey, Iâm a bachelor. If I were to go to Warner Manor, Bradley might not let me see Estherâ¦â
Billy asked anxiously, âThen what should we do? Just let Bradley continue to mistreat Esther?â
âDo you think Esther has any female friends? If itâs a female friend visiting her, Bradley probably wonât object.â
Upon hearing this, Billy grew even more perplexed and said, âAfter the incident five years ago, Esther doesnât have any friends besides you.â
Jasper subtly suggested, âI remember that before Esther was discharged from the hospital, Bradley assigned her a psychologist. How about we seek her help?â
