âDid you accept it?â Chadwick asked sinisterly.
Mandy replied coldly, âThe Pendletons donât mistreat me when it comes to money. Why would I accept his check?â
Chadwick was pleased with Mandyâs response. He immediately transferred some money to her. âTake this and treat yourself to a handbag!â
A mere Warner Group meant nothing before the Pendletons. There was no need to show off to them.
âI told Bradley that if he wants my support, he should make Esther marry you and marry me. If he canât make that happen, thereâs no deal!â
Chadwick chuckled and clapped his hands. âWell done! Come, let me introduce you to my friends.â
Mandy looked at the group of men with Chadwick and concealed her displeasure. She sweetly greeted them.
âGuys, meet my sister. Look out for her!â
âOf course!â
Mandy felt disgusted by these menâs presence. Nevertheless, she put on a facade and raised her glass to toast with them. In her mind, she couldnât wait for the Pendletonsâ downfall.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She checked the unread message.
X asked her to take some photos of Chadwick with the other men and send them to Jasper. Although she didnât understand why, she obediently followed the instructions and took several pictures.
âCan I go now?â
One of the men, who appeared to have some health issues, offered to drive Mandy home. âChadwick, Iâll take her back.â
âAlright.â
Mandy didnât refuse and got into the car.
Once inside, the man began to touch her inappropriately.
Mandy slapped him hard across the face.
Who did he think he was?
Even though Bradley might be flawed in some ways, at least he was good-looking!
âYou b*tch! Do you believe Iâll teach you a lesson right here?â
Mandy sneered. âYou better not embarrass my brother. Otherwise, youâll face the consequences.â
Mandy hailed a taxi on the side of the road and returned to her villa.
After freshening up, she noticed a message from Jasper.
Jasper: [?]
She thought momentarily before replying.
Mandy: [Are they using drugs?]
Jasper forwarded the photos Mandy sent him to Oliver, who immediately sensed something was off. An almost insane plan began to form in Oliverâs mind.
Oliver: [I understand. Iâll investigate further on my end. Iâll let you know if thereâs any good news.]
With Felix around, Bradley and Esther had shifted from their previous hostility to a harmonious and warm relationship.
âMommy, I had two servings of lunch today!â
Felix, always concerned about Bradleyâs health, dutifully finished his meals and focused on his studies.
âYouâre amazing!â Esther praised him and tousled his hair. âMy son is the best in the world!â
âMy mommy is the best mommy in the world!â
Felix and Esther exchanged compliments.
Bradley was sitting on the sofa, handling Warner Groupâs business affairs. He felt jealous while listening to their interaction.
