Chapter 667
Bradley''s unexpected remark took Esther aback. Suddenly, she erupted into scornfulughter dripping
with sarcasm. Tears streamed down her face as she gazed at Bradley''s savage expression, which was
ufortably close.
"Bradley, can a wedding night still be ''consummated'' like this?" she quipped.
Bradley detected the mockery in Esther''s words. He firmly grasped her jaw and pronounced each word
deliberately. "Then, allow me to fulfill the groom''s duties on behalf of Mr. Pendleton!"
The mere thought of Esther marrying Chadwick haunted Bradley. It stirred tumultuous emotions within
him.
Bradley would never permit other men toy hands on the women he had once possessed, even if he
eventually discarded them. In the case of defiant women like Esther, he intended to make her face the
consequences of "betraying" him through his actions.
"Bradley—"
Bradley didn''t wait for Esther to finish speaking and forcefully pulled off her bridal veil.
Even though Esther and Chadwick''s wedding had always been part of arger n, it had been
carefully arranged to seem genuine and make the Pendletons feel at ease.
Esther''s bridal attire, crafted overnight by skilled artisans, was adorned with intricate golden
embroidery. Her jewelry was solid gold. Esther''s entire outfit was worth a small fortune, something an
average person might never earn in their lifetime.
Bradley discarded each piece of her clothing like garbage, tearing them away one by one and throwing
them outside the crystal coffin.
Esther didn''t resist. She understood that the more she fought back, the harsher Bradley''s response
would be. Shey in the crystal coffin like a lifeless doll, allowing Bradley to do as he pleased.
Seeing Esther''s passive reaction, Bradley suddenly sat up in the crystal coffin. "Esther, if you n to
resist me with silence, I''ll make you watch as I throw your offspring into the sea!"
Esthery in the shreds of her torn bridal dress and replied fearlessly, "They''re your daughters, too."

''Daughters?'' he thought.
"Hah!" Bradley understood what Esther thought. He pulled out his phone and called a number. "Hello,
it''s me. Toss the two kids in the vi to the pool—"
Esther had no idea where her courage came from, but she snatched the phone and growled into it, "Do
noty a finger on my children!"
Bradley pinned her against the crystal coffin''s wall. The coffin was so cold it made her shiver.
"Esther! Their fate depends on you. Do you understand?" Bradley said.
Esther roared, "Do you still have any humanity left? They''re your children too!"
Bradley sneered as he grabbed the phone from her. His dark eyes locked onto her now lively
expression. He leaned in closer, his lips near Esther''s ear, and softly said, "Esther, you know what you
have to do."
Esther red at Bradley, feeling resentful. She took a deep breath and tried tofort herself. ''Fine!
Bradley wasn''t bad-looking! I can endure this!''
Back when Esther was deeply in love with Bradley, she would have weed this kind of closeness
with tears of joy. But now, all she felt was a deep ache in her heart when she looked at him.
She hesitantly and awkwardly kissed Bradley''s thin lips,cking any finesse.
