Chapter 282


    Standing silently by Bradley’s side, Kevin was at a loss for words on how to console him. Together, they


    stood, feeling the sea breeze and lost in their thoughts.


    After a while, Bradley spoke slowly, his voice filled with uncertainty. “Is there any way to replicate


    another Felix?”

    “Bradley…” Kevin met Bradley’s earnest gaze and hesitated before responding, “Cloning might be a


    possibility, but… any Felix created through technology would be a fake unless we find the real Felix.”


    The rescue operation came to an end, and the personnel involved gradually departed from the vast


    sea.


    As the decision-maker of the Warner Group, Bradley generously rewarded each member involved in


    the


    rescue.


    Despite the calmness of the sea, Bradley’s heart remained restless. He gazed at the area where Felix


    had fallen, his deep eyes tinged with a haunting crimson.


    Suddenly, Bradley’s phone red with an rm. He quickly picked it up and opened the alerting app,


    only to discover Billy using a chainsaw to cut the iron chain binding Esther.


    ‘Esther Quill! What are you trying to do? Do you want to escape?


    ‘You’re not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!”


    “Watch out, Esther.”


    Originally, Billy intended to seek help from Jasper, but unable to reach him, he resorted to buying a


    chainsaw to cut the chain himself.


    The buzzing sound of the chainsaw filled Esther’s ears. She tilted her head slightly, exposing her


    graceful neck, her beautiful eyes ncing toward the ceiling camera. She knew her chances of escape


    were slim, but she had to try.


    She would never regret falling in love with Bradley. The butterflies she felt when they first met as young


    teenagers would forever be etched in her heart. However, from this point forward, she could no longer


    love him.


    ‘Grandpa Thomas, I’m sorry for breaking my promise. I won’t stay by his side any longer.


    ‘Life is long, and we can only apany each other for a certain distance. We may meet at a


    crossroads and have a brief encounter, or we may walk together for a while, but eventually, we must


    part ways and pursue our own paths.”


    Billy looked at the severed iron chain, feeling a sense of satisfaction. “Esther, it’s done. I’ll take you to


    find a locksmith now.”


    “Okay.” Esther stood up and gathered her documents.


    She took onest look at the grand Warner Manor, resolute in her decision, and got into Billy’s car. Billy


    continued speaking, “Esther, Bradley holds significant power in this city. I suggest you leave the country


    immediately.”


    In Billy’s view, if Bradley discovered that Esther had escaped, he would undoubtedly do everything


    possible to capture her and bring her back as soon as possible.


    “Okay.”


    As the car drove along the road, leaving the manor behind, tall pine forests lined the sides, creating a


    serene and verdant scenery.


    Suddenly, the loud sound of a helicopter grew closer.


    Billy realized that Bradley was catching up, and his face turned pale as he instinctively pressed hard on


    the elerator.


    With a loud bang, the car collided against a tall pine tree trunk, and thick smoke billowed from beneath


    the hood.
