Jolene's voice sounded panicked on the other end of the phone, causing Esther's heart to race. She nervously asked, "Jolene, what's happening?""Esther, my stomach is in excruciating pain... Please come and help me..."Esther quickly asked, "Where are you right now?"Jolene abruptly ended the call and sent Esther her location, but her phone became unreachable.Esther hurriedly left, apologizing to the others, "I'm sorry. I have to go."Xara asked, "What's going on, Esther?""It's Jolene, the girl Chadwick used to look after. She might be unwell, and I need to check on her," Esther replied.Kevin, always straightforward, asked, "Esther, why do you care about her? Haven't you seen how Chadwick treated you?"Jasper swatted Kevin's shoulder and added, "Jolene's father, just like Esther's father, was a DEA agent. Maybe Esther can't just turn a blind eye.""I see." Kevin suddenly understood Esther's concern. "But it's strange. She and Esther aren't particularly close, so why didn't

Esther tumbled into Bradley's arms as though she had dropped from the sky. His scent, crisp as pine, wrapped around her like an unyielding net.Bradley clasped her slender waist, effortlessly drawing her into his world, from which escape seemed impossible."Mr... Mr. Warner…" Jolene clutched her stomach and impatiently asked Bradley, who stood in the wardrobe. "What you promised me...""I won't break my word," Bradley assured, then vanished into the wardrobe.Jolene gently closed the wardrobe door, leaning against the wall before returning to the couch.As she settled on the couch, regret washed over her. She realized her mistake. She shouldn't have used herself as bait to lure Esther to the motel. She knew better than anyone that she had nothing left, and Esther had come to see her out of concern. Nonetheless, she had ultimately betrayed Esther's trust.Jolene held her phone, trying to convince herself not to be soft-hearted. She told herself she had done nothing wrong. What had

"Jasper, are we really leaving like this?" Kevin stared at Jasper in disbelief. Esther was now in Bradley's hands. Would she survive? Or, more accurately, would the ruthless Bradley spare Esther?"What else can we do? Do you think you can find Esther if you search the place? Or do you plan to kneel in front of Bradley and beg him to spare her?" Jasper's words sounded like a defeated plea to Kevin."We can use detection devices to search every corner of Warner Manor. As long as we don't give up..."Jasper raised his head slightly, his tone filled with helplessness. "Then you go."Kevin rolled up his sleeves. "I will."Jasper left in his car, creating a cloud of dust as he drove away.Kevin turned back toward Warner Manor.Mandy was on her way to her room when she bumped into Kevin. She looked surprised and asked, "Dr. Slade, do you have something else to discuss?"Kevin asked, "Where is Bradley?""He went upstairs to rest. Do you need me to call him for you?" she asked.Kevin

Suddenly, a sharp pain radiated from Bradley's heart. He instinctively clutched the edge of the crystal coffin, his keen eyes locking onto Esther's emotionless face."Esther!"Esther's eyes were cold, lacking the human warmth one would expect. "Is there anything else you wish to command?"Without warning, Bradley seized her by the neck.Esther displayed no signs of pain or relief. A sense of defeat washed over Bradley, and he staggered back, gazing at Esther.Esther was seemingly oblivious to Bradley's turmoil and smiled gracefully at him."Bradley!"Bradley!"Mandy's voice pierced the air, causing Bradley to exit the secret chamber decisively."Is there something you need?" he asked.Mandy handed him a neatly arranged fruit platter, speaking gently. "I've prepared this fruit platter for you.""Set it down and leave," he commanded.Mandy obediently placed the fruit platter on the table and left the room.Once Mandy departed, Bradley returned to the secret chamber with the

Bradley couldn't muster the patience to read every line of Jasper's messages. To him, those messages felt like a silent taunt, as if they were telling Bradley that Jasper loved and cared for Esther more. Every word hit Bradley's sensitive nerves.In a decisive move, Bradley blocked Jasper. After doing so, he reopened the chat box and carefully reviewed the messages. When he saw the allergens Jasper had mentioned, he jumped from his chair in shock.He clutched his phone and dashed into the secret chamber like a whirlwind. There, he found Esther in the crystal coffin, covered in hives due to an allergy. Her lips had turned a faint shade of purple, and her eyes were shut as if in death."Esther!" Bradley called out, but she remained motionless. He scooped her from the crystal coffin in a hurry, ignoring everything else, and rushed her out of the bedroom. As he reached the garage, he spotted Mandy in the garden, seemingly slightly tipsy. She looked at the unconscious Esther in Bradley
