Chapter 789


    Jasper punched Bradley, his voice strained and desperate. "Bradley, open your eyes and see clearly


    who caused her death! It''s you! You imprisoned her, denied her freedom, and forced her to choose


    death over being captured by you!"


    Kevin stood alongside Jasper. "There''s no point in talking to him. He''s not human—hecks the human


    emotions needed to understand that he''s the one who killed Esther!"


    Police cars, fire trucks, and ambnces raced to the scene.


    Coastal Highway 9 had once been hailed as the most beautiful road. It offered breathtaking scenic


    views when driving, and it was a popr spot for couples to take wedding photos.


    Due to this ident today, warning signs were temporarily erected, prohibiting anyone from using the


    highway.


    Esther''s car had plummeted more than 100 meters down the cliff, which made the rescue operation


    challenging. The base of the cliff led to the seaside, which was inessible by car.


    The firefighters were left with no choice but to use ropes to rappel from above.


    The firefighters on the cliff''s edge used high-pressure hoses to extinguish the mes. The zing fire

    hadpletely consumed the vehicle, turning it into a charred frame, with the driver''s seat upant


    reduced to a ckened corpse.


    The moment the body was hoisted up, Bradley rushed forward. His vision was extraordinary, and even


    in the dark, he could clearly see the charred corpse.


    The air was filled with a foul, nauseating stench. Despite Kevin''s broad experience, seeing the charred


    corpse still made him feel sick.


    "This isn''t Esther!" Bradley stared at the charred body, struggling to ept the reality.


    "Bradley, are you blind?" Kevin withheld his difort and rebuked with anger, "The license te on


    the car matches Esther''s car. You were continuously pursuing Esther, too. Now, you''re saying it''s not


    her? Then tell me, who is it?"


    Jasper patted Kevin''s shoulder and advised, "Kevin, don''t waste your energy arguing with him."


    Kevin''s eyes were reddened as he turned around to face Jasper, whose eyes filled with profound grief.


    "How much pain must she have been in!"


    Kevin couldn''t bear to think about the pain Esther must have felt when falling from the cliff and the


    agony when the fire engulfed her. In her final moments, she must have been terrified and full of regret.


    Kevin wiped away his tears and wanted to admit that it was his fault. He shouldn''t have let Bradley


    keep chasing after her. She had only been in such a rush because Bradley had been persistently


    pursuing her and colliding with her car.


    Kevin thought that if he could turn back time, even just for ten minutes, he would have grabbed the


    steering wheel from Bradley''s hands. He would rather fight for control of the steering wheel, even if it


    meant they both had an ident, even if it meant broken limbs, as long as they were still alive. It would


    be better than Esther departing this world in such a manner.


    "Kevin."


    Jasper looked at the charred body on the stretcher and said in a pained voice, "She was terrified of


    pain. Yet, Bradley repeatedly hurt her like this..."


    Kevin took a deep, painful breath andfortingly put his arm around Jasper''s shoulder.


    "Jasper, you know, it would have been so much better if you had taken Esther from Bradley back then!


    What''s with this pretense of being a gentleman?"


    Jasper looked up, forcing his tears to stay back.
