Chapter 317


    Jasper sensed that Esther was contemting death because of what had happened to Felix, so he


    gentlyforted her. “Esther, you haven’t found Pixie yet. If you die, there will be no one in this world


    who truly loves her. Only by staying alive can we keep hope alive.”


    “It’s not a real death. It’s pretending to die in front of everyone. After I fake my death, I want to go


    abroad to find Pixie.”


    Esther no longer wanted to be entangled with Bradley. If their rtionship was destined to fail, it should


    be ended promptly. Her youthful infatuation couldn’t withstand the harsh reality.


    All she wanted now was to be far away from Bradley… far enough that he could never enter her life


    again.


    “So, you mean you want to stage your death and go abroad?” Jasper pondered carefully, considering


    the feasibility of Esther’s n. “Esther, I understand what you’re feeling, but you need to know that


    running away won’t solve the problems. Even if you escape from Bradley’s influence now, do you n


    to hide from him for the rest of your life? Eventually, he will find you again.”


    Esther stared deeply outside the car window, her voice trembling as she spoke. “Jasper, I’ve lost


    Tinkerbell and Felix. I can’t lose Pixie too. I have to find her myself.”


    She felt like an ipetent mother. Losing three children consecutively was unbearable. She was


    afraid she couldn’t bear it and was even afraid she might want to kill Bradley and go down with him


    because of it.


    “In that case, if you truly want to die, you might as well do it tonight,” Jasper said as he drove. “Esther,


    choose the area in the sea where Felix had his ident. Jump into the water, and I’ll make sure the


    rescue team saves you in time. Your identity as Esther willpletely disappear. What do you think?”


    Time was running out, and Esther couldn’t think of a better n to fake her death. Without hesitation,


    she epted Jasper’s proposal. “Okay, let’s do it as you said.”


    After agreeing, she expressed concern to Jasper. “What if Bradley mes you after I’m gone? What if

    hees after the Searles?”


    Jasper shrugged nonchntly. “Esther, you know how the Searles treat me. If it weren’t for the fact that


    all the other heirs of the Searles are dead, that old man wouldn’t even


    acknowledge my existence. If Bradley destroys the Searles, I’ll consider it a favor, a solution to a big


    problem for me.”


    “Jasper…” Esther felt deeply touched.


    After the events five years ago, Esther didn’t have many friends around her. Jasper was the only friend


    willing to do anything to help her, and she cherished their friendship.


    “Let’s not dwell on it now. We need to act quickly,” Jasper said, ncing at Esther with a gentle


    expression. “We can talk about gratitude after you fake your death.”


    “Okay.”


    Jasper drove straight to the pier. Esther changed into a dress on the cruise ship and applied careful


    and stunning makeup.


    “Esther, look at how much attention you’re getting on social media. Start a live stream directlyter.”


    Esther understood Jasper’s intention immediately. She hesitated momentarily and asked, Will Bradley


    be able to trace my location through the IP address if I start a live stream?”


    “He will!” Jasper said firmly. “That’s why your live stream mustst precisely three to five minutes. Once


    Bradley realizes it, you won’t be able to die.”


    “Understood.”


    As Esther leaned against the railing, the sea breeze gently brushed through her long hair as she gazed


    at the distant sea. For some reason, she felt a faint reluctance. It might have been reluctance toward


    her current identity or the desperate struggle of the secret crush that had enchanted her throughout her


    youth, influencing her emotions.


    Jasper didn’t disturb Esther but kept a close eye on her online poprity.
