Chapter 227


    Bradley nced at the gold-embossed name on the business card-Oliver Quill.


    The business card had a simple and elegant design, with no job position orpany name, only a


    name and a string of digits.


    Disinterested, Bradley closed the car window and casually discarded the business card, whichnded


    in Esther’s open handbag like a falling leaf in the autumn breeze. He started the car and drove away


    swiftly.


    Meanwhile, Oliver, still standing there, made a mental note of the license te number. He nned to


    ask someone he knew to investigate the car’s route.


    Oliver got into his car and returned to the cemetery. When the cemetery manager saw him, they were


    about to speak, but Oliver silenced them by handing over an envelope.


    “Do you need any assistance, sir?” the manager asked.

    In a gentle tone tinged with anger, Oliver replied, “I’d like to review the surveince footage.”


    “Please follow me.”


    The manager led Oliver to the surveince room, where the staff retrieved the recent footage.


    Oliver watched the surveince footage of Esther and Felix, his heart twitching as he struggled to


    believe that this was histe sister’s daughter.


    “Does shee here often?” Oliver asked.


    “She has beening frequently recently. There were some issues earlier,” the manager exined


    with a smile. “I heard from the previous manager. She used to like sitting in front of the tombstone,


    even on weekends and holidays. Sometimes she would do her homework there.


    “Do you know her?” Oliver inquired.


    The manager smiled awkwardly and replied, “I don’t know her personally, but the previous manager


    did. She’s a nice girl. It’s said that she went through some terrible abuse…”


    Frowning slightly, Oliver wondered who could have mistreated a child from the Quill family. He handed


    a business card to the manager and said solemnly, “If shees to the cemetery again, please call


    me.”


    “Of course, Mr. Quill.”


    Realizing he should inform his family about his sister having a daughter, Oliver requested a copy of the


    surveince footage. As his main base was not in the city, he was unfamiliar with the local roads, which


    resulted in him losing track of Esther.


    Unbeknownst to him, she was currently trapped in a dangerous situation.


    The incident at the wedding between Bradley and Liliane had be widely known, including to


    Esther, who was shocked by Bradley’s actions during the wedding. She had thought he genuinely


    wanted to marry Liliane, but it turned out that he only wanted to humiliate her,


    leaving her no chance to defend her past actions publicly.


    Esther was always soft-hearted. Now, with the videos Bradley yed, the suspicions of her supposed


    betrayal werepletely cleared. She naively thought that as long as she appeared before Bradley,


    they could put aside their grievances and live a happy and loving life together.


    However, the ck-d men holding her captive saw through her intentions.


    “Mister, you’ve seen it too. Bradley didn’t marry Liliane. I’m still his legal wife. If you release me…”


    One of the ck-d men nced at Esther and sneered. “Mrs. Warner, are all wealthy people as


    naive as you?”


    “What’s the point of talking to someone like her? She knows nothing about the harsh realities. of life,”


    the other ck-d man added. “Compared to what we’ve experienced, her biggest setback was


    spending five years in prison. It means nothing to us!”


    Esther’s head sank in despair. She had hoped to find an opportunity to make these men lower their


    guard, but now she realized it was merely wishful thinking.


    “Mister, I need to use the restroom,” she pleaded.


    One of the ck-d men looked at Esther cruelly and replied, “Hold it in.”
