Bradley was suddenly overwhelmed by panic. He sternly looked at Jasper and asked, "Jasper, what did you tell her?"

Jasper replied calmly, "I just informed Esther that her children are not in your hands."

Bradley's fists clenched, and his icy eyes held a mocking smirk. "Esther, do you trust him, or do you trust me?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Esther had Jasper's investigative documents in her lap. She smiled bitterly and retorted, "Bradley, the moment you used our children to manipulate me, you lost any claim to being their father." "Esther, I'll count to three. You'd better comply, or else... I'll show you firsthand how your daughters meet their end!" Bradley's words remained cold and ruthless.

Jasper sneered. "Bradley, have you ever looked in the mirror? Do you not find your life pathetic? Are you using your own daughters just to keep Esther?"

"I'm not trying to keep her." Bradley remained proud and unyielding, refusing to bow before his rival.

Jasper smirked. "Then I don't understand. If you don't want to keep her and you don't love her, are you just trying to torment her?"

"Esther is mine. Even if she dies, she's still mine!"

Esther gazed at Bradley's handsome face, feeling estranged and horrified. The man she had once loved had transformed into this heartless figure, mercilessly trampling on her passionate love. "Bradley, starting today, I won't let your threats control me.

"Since you're heartless, I can be ruthless too.

"Blame it on our daughters' misfortune for having a heartless father like you.

"If you think hurting my daughters will manipulate me, go ahead. I'll pretend my daughters were lost during my difficult childbirth five years ago. Now, my only hope is for Felix to grow up safe and healthy."

What Xara had said had caused a slight inner struggle in Esther's heart. Yet, Jasper's information helped her make a firm decision. She had wished for a better outcome, but life was unpredictable, and not every situation had a perfect resolution. She couldn't focus on the children she couldn't see her focus had to be on protecting the child in front of her.

"Esther! Whether you believe it or not, I can bring your daughters' severed hands to you right now!"

Esther responded with indifference. "Go ahead."

In an instant, Bradley felt as though Esther were a kite adrift in the sky without a string.

"Fine.

"Very well.

"Okay."

Bradley ground his teeth. "Remember what you've said!"

He took out his phone and called a number. "Hello, it's me! Get that child's hand here immediately..."

Upon hearing Bradley's words, Esther tightly gripped the armrest of her wheelchair. She struggled to contain herself and desperately wanted to intervene. Jasper gently placed his hand on Esther's and subtly shook his head to dissuade her.

Esther's eyes briefly revealed her internal struggle and unease.

She was scared.

Terrified, in fact.

She dreaded the possibility that Bradley's threat might be true.

Bradley keenly observed the interactions between Esther and Jasper, saying, "Esther, remember, this is your choice."
