"Liar!" Jolene fiercely glared at Esther before revving her car's engine and speeding away. Esther rubbed her temples, watching Jolene's disappearing figure."Esther, everyone has their own path in life, and we should respect their choices," Agatha said, her tone carrying deep meaning. "Just as I do, as your mentor, respect yours."Esther's face filled with shame.Agatha continued. "I can't shield you forever, Esther. Make the most of the time you have with me. Learn as much as you can. You never know when that knowledge might be your lifeline.""I understand."Esther cherished her days at the clinic. She faced none of Chadwick's veiled threats, Bradley's relentless pressure, or Selene's unconventional teaching methods. She was just a student, enjoying the peaceful countryside alongside three children.Jacob, the eldest among them, naturally became the responsible older brother. Sunshine and Felix listened to him, and while Esther delved into her medical studies, the young trio

While Esther and Bradley remained unhappy, Mandy enjoyed her happiness."Good luck," X said."Thanks."After ending the call, Mandy strolled back to the hot spring pool. Sadie faced Esther as she playfully teased Mandy, "Mr. Warner knows how to treat a lady, huh?""Sadie, don't say that in front of my sister-in-law," Mandy replied, neither confirming nor denying Bradley's call. She smiled faintly and added, "Honestly, I don't think he loves me. He's just grateful.""Gratitude can turn into love," Sadie encouraged optimistically. "Don't give up."Mandy lowered her head and whispered after a moment, "I don't believe in love."Once, Sadie believed in love, inspired by her happily married parents. But after witnessing Bradley and Esther, she thought maybe not believing in love wasn't so bad.The three relaxed in the hot springs, sipping wine. Aware of an early makeup appointment, they wrapped up their evening.Esther had a restless night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Sh

"Mr. Pendleton," Esther said, her voice filled with fury.Had she made a mistake trusting Jolene's words about Chadwick? Could he really be this cold, lacking empathy for others' misfortune?Would Chadwick go to such lengths to save Jolene, who was desperate? Or did he have hidden motives from the start?Was that why he had reacted so strongly when he found out Jolene was pregnant?Chadwick removed Esther's veil and taunted her, "Already playing the dutiful wife, trying to control me?""Mr. Pendleton, you don't have to pity the accident, but—""Pity? Why should I?" he icily interrupted her. "The world is full of suffering. If I pitied everyone, would it ever end? Enough of this nonsense. Let's not ruin my happy day!"Esther took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. Meanwhile, Chadwick impatiently tapped the car window."Tell them to clear the way. It's my big day," he demanded.He would have taken a helicopter if he had known about the traffic."Understood, Mr. Pendleton."

The various classical instruments filled the air with melodies, transporting every guest to the Renaissance's golden era.Faces beamed with rare joy. Even though the guests had attended numerous weddings, this one was exceptional, teeming with excitement. The union of the Quill and Pendleton families promised to be the wedding of the century.Mandy slowly edged closer to the lively venue, the rhythmic drums and percussion growing more intense. An unexplained sense of apprehension crept over her.She remained clueless about Esther's whereabouts and when Jasper and his party would strike against the Pendletons. However, she knew that her days under the Pendletons' control were over."Wait for a moment. The ceremony up ahead isn't done yet," the wedding planner whispered to the maid of honor as she approached her. "Proceed when you hear the trumpets.""Got it," the maid of honor replied.Mandy and Esther wore nearly identical traditional wedding attire. Even after swapping veils, th

To prevent the Pendletons from becoming a laughingstock in Capitus, Selene had to make Esther's infertility a public matter.Oliver subtly adjusted his glasses, staring piercingly at Selene. "Madam Pendleton, do you know why Esther can't have children?"His words held hidden meaning, unsettling Selene."Dad, take her away. We'll talk about this later." Chadwick completely missed Selene's signals. His arrogance and self-importance blinded him to the threat posed by Bradley and Esther, whom he considered insignificant."Escort Madam Pendleton off!" Chadwick signaled his groomsmen, who were clueless about the situation. They followed his command and moved Selene offstage.The normally reserved Richard Pendleton stepped forward, his hand gently circling Selene's waist. He leaned in and whispered cautiously, "Had enough?"Selene glared at Richard. "If it weren't for you, would this drama have unfolded today?"'If not for you, would I have sacrificed my dignity?; she wondered."Selen
