Chapter 797


    Mandy gasped for breath, struggling beneath Bradley''s unyielding grip. She reached for her self-


    defense pepper spray, herst resort, and unleashed it directly into his eyes.


    "Bradley, what happened to Esther?" Mandy asked, her voice trembling with anxiety. She couldn''t help


    but wonder if Esther was even alive. Given Bradley''s obsession with her, he might have preserved her


    in some grotesque manner, even in death.

    Bradley fixed his gaze on Mandy, a look in his eyes she had never seen before. It was a profound


    sadness, a glimpse into a Bradley she had never known, a man who had always exuded strength and


    confidence.


    His belief had crumbled, and he now stood amidst the ruins, searching desperately for something he


    could no longer find. He wed at the rubble, a futile quest that yielded nothing.


    As Bradley slowly retreated, Mandy observed the changed man, though he still retained his striking


    appearance. Something had shifted within him.


    Mandy reached for her phone and settled on a nearby sofa. She sent a message to Kevin, feigning


    concern but driven by curiosity.


    Mandy: [Dr. de, Bradley seems to be in an unusual emotional state. What''s going on?]


    Kevin''s reply was icy.


    Kevin: [He brought this on himself!]


    For Kevin, whatever Bradley was experiencing was well-deserved, a consequence of his relentless


    pursuit of Esther, a trail of tragedy.


    Mandy frowned at Kevin''s response and decided to press further.


    Mandy: [Has something happened to Ms. Quill?]


    This time, Kevin didn''t reply.


    Mandy''s heart ached, a sensation akin to gentle ws scraping at her chest. She headed to the


    garage, found Bradley''s previous car, and removed its dashcam''s memory card.


    Mandy inserted the memory card into herptop and watched the footage, experiencing the events


    from a first-person perspective. She couldn''t believe her eyes as Bradley used his car to collide with


    Esther''s vehicle.


    Mandy''s hand flew to her mouth in disbelief. Had Bradley truly gone mad? How could he subject Esther


    to such torment?!


    As she pondered this, she watched in horror as Esther''s car plummeted off a cliff. Mandy''s eyes


    widened in shock. It was difficult to fathom the reality of what she was witnessing.


    Bradley had forced Esther over the edge.


    Mandy realized she might have made the same choice in Esther''s shoes. Who wouldn''t resist being


    locked away in secrecy by Bradley?


    No one would willingly endure such a nightmare. Esther was no masochist.


    Mandy recognized the road—it was Coastal Highway 9, known for its breathtaking views. Despite being


    her enemy, Mandy couldn''t help but silently apud Esther''s courage in the face of her decision to


    drive off the cliff to escape Bradley.


    Esther had finally broken free.


    Then, a ze of fire lit up the night, transforming darkness into daylight.


    As Mandy watched in terror, she increased the video yback speed. The paramedics and firefighters


    pulled a charred body from the cliff''s edge, sending a shiver down her spine. She felt utterly numb, as if


    submerged in icy waters.
