Chapter 777


    Mandy seemed unaware of Bradley''s intimidating stare. She maintained her pleasant smile and said,


    "Mr. Quill, would you and yourpanion like to have a seat while you wait?"


    Oliver gave Mandy a cold, dismissive look and declined the offer.


    Bradley approached Mandy confidently, cing his arm around her waist. He spoke in a somewhat


    threatening tone by her ear. "Mandy, when distinguished guests like Mr. Quill are visiting, can we avoid


    trivial questions?"


    Mandy quickly said, "Of course. I''m sorry. I''ll have the service staff prepare everything."


    Bradley chuckled and added, "Please do. Also, instruct the staff to assist these gentlemen with their


    investigation. Understand?"

    "As you wish." Mandy turned and strolled inside.


    Did Bradley believe she would inform Oliver? He was overthinking. She wouldn''t help Esther escape


    from him. However, the moment of nervousness she noticed on Bradley''s face was intriguing.


    Once Mandy left, Bradley continued to observe Oliver without disying any emotion. He knew that


    with Oliver''s personality, he would surely search Warner Manor. He couldn''t stop them, so he decided


    to let them proceed.


    If they found Esther, he would release her once more. As long as he lived, he would continue to bring


    Esther back to him.


    Gabriel remained silent, standing beside Oliver as he observed Bradley. He couldn''t help but wonder


    how the charming child from years ago had transformed into this ruthless and arrogant person. He


    considered that losing his parents might have made him extreme and overbearing.


    Mandy arranged a table in the garden. It was adorned with an embroidered tablecloth, vases of fresh


    flowers, a variety of fruits, desserts, and tea. She ensured that the service staff not only prepared food


    for Oliver and Gabriel but also assisted the search and rescue team as much as possible.


    The expansive estate was now bustling with unfamiliar faces, and search and rescue dogs meticulously


    scoured the area.


    -


    Several hours passed, yet they had not found Esther.


    Bradley checked his wristwatch and elegantly stood up. He turned to Oliver and said, "Mr. Quill, if you


    find the meticulous search troublesome, why not consider using explosives to clear the hill?"


    Oliver snorted. "Bradley, our actions are observed by a higher power. Don''t assume that everything you


    do is wless…"


    Bradley pped his hands and sneered. "It''s surprising to see the esteemed head of the Quill Group


    making such remarks. If there''s divine retribution, what''s the use of thew?"


    Bradley turned to look at the building behind him. "Mr. Quill, it seems you''ll be leaving empty-handed."


    Gabriel, leaning on his cane, approached Bradley and pped him.


    "Bradley, if your grandfather knew what you''re doing, he would regret it! He would regret letting Esther


    marry you!


    "Is this how you treat the girl you begged for and were so determined to marry? Bradley, I hope you


    suffer and lose everything!"


    Bradley looked at Gabriel and then smiled coldly. "We''re not close, are we?"


    "We''re not. Your grandfather and I wererades.


    "I saw you when you were born. I''ve watched you grow up, but I never expected that Thomas, a man of


    integrity, would have a descendant like you!"
