Chapter 564


    As Mandy changed her clothes, she anxiously hid in the bathroom to call the mysterious X. “Boss, is


    this Chadwick guy insane? He wants Esther to marry him and me to marry Bradley? Who in their right


    mind would suggest such a thing?”


    X’s cold, robotic voice shattered the bathroom’s silence. “Do as he says.”


    Mandy was stunned by his response. “Do I… Do I really have to marry Bradley?”


    “Don’t you think it would be quite amusing when Bradley discovers you’re actually Liliane Anstey?”


    After calmly considering this, Mandy had to agree. “Understood.”


    Five minutester, Mandy descended the stairs.


    Chadwick looked at her, clearly pleased with her effort to dress up. “Excellent. That’s very considerate


    of you.”


    Suppressing her disgust, Mandy responded with a sweet smile. “Thank you, brother.”


    The group arrived at the detention center. Esther couldn’t help but wonder how Bradley would react


    upon seeing her with Chadwick.


    Seizing a moment while Chadwick was-engrossed in conversation with a detention center staff


    member, she approached Kevin.


    “Kevin, can you please keep my agreement with Chadwick a secret until Bradley has his liver


    transnt?”


    Kevin rubbed his temple. “Esther, are you really nning to marry Chadwick?”


    Esther subtly shook her head. “Trust me. It’s all for Bradley’s sake.”


    Lowering his voice, Kevin cautioned her, “Have you forgotten all the terrible things he’s done to you? If


    you dare marry Chadwick, I fear he might torment you to death…”


    Kevin knew better than anyone that his warning wasn’t exaggerated. Given Bradley’s vtile nature,


    the threat was entirely usible.


    Putting on aposed front, Esther reassured him, “If it ensures his safety and health, any sacrifice


    make is worth it.”


    After concluding his conversation with the detention center staff, Chadwick walked over to Esther with a


    malevolent grin. “Well, Esther, it seems you’ll soon be able to divorce Bradley, just as you wanted.”


    -Half an hourter, Bradley emerged. His arm was still bandaged, now adorned with fresh bloodstains


    for


    added realism.


    Upon seeing him, Esther’s heart ached painfully.


    Bradley’s eyes locked onto Chadwick with an evil re. “Chadwick, it’s been a while.”

    Chadwick noticed Bradley’s bandaged arm. “I see you’ve been well taken care of.”


    Bradley looked at Chadwick in disdain before turning his harsh gaze toward Esther’s beautiful face.”


    You’ve got some interesting friends, Chadwick.”


    “If you fancy mypanions, feel free to spend more time with them,” Chadwick taunted. “Mandy,


    Mandy walked over to Chadwick’s side, offering Bradley a smile.


    “Let me introduce you to my half-sister from another mother…”


    Chadwick nudged Mandy toward Bradley. Unsteady in her heels, she stumbled into his arms, colliding.


    with his bandaged limb.


    Bradley’s face twisted in disgust. “Chadwick, what’s the meaning of this?”


    Chadwick grabbed Esther and pulled her beside him. “Consider her as the wife I’mpensating you


    for.”
