Chapter 896


    Esther dered, "I want to create a magnificent cage for Bradley."


    To this, Logan said, "Imprisonment is illegal."


    "It''s just a hobby," she casually replied.


    Logan was rendered speechless.


    Esther confidently added, "Don''t worry. I still have unsettled scores. I won''t shoot myself in the foot over


    this."


    Logan remained silent.


    Esther idly doodled on a piece of paper.


    Logan gave it a brief nce and smiled helplessly, his gaze betraying a hidden indulgence unnoticed


    by the world.


    A sudden "Ding" interrupted the atmosphere as Logan''s phone chimed with a text message.


    Logan''s brows furrowed slightly as he read the message, indicating his displeasure.


    Sensing Logan''s off mood, Esther lifted her head from the paper and asked softly, "Logan, what''s


    wrong?"


    "Fish caught the bait," he revealed cryptically.


    Esther perked up instantly, looking to Logan for an exnation.


    Logan promptly deleted the message and advised, "Leave it hanging for a bit."


    Esther clenched her fist instinctively, a faint unease washing over her—something significant was about


    to happen.


    "Are you ready?" Logan asked.


    Esther nodded resolutely.

    Meanwhile, Bradley arrived at an exclusive teahouse.

    The tea master was seated at an antique table and ced a cup of fragrant tea in front of him. "Sir, this


    is Mount—"


    Before the tea master could continue, Bradley cut her off coldly, "Shut up."


    Silenced, the tea master shyly nced at Bradley''s handsome face, unable to resist his good looks and


    charm.


    But before she could impress Bradley with her knowledge, she was rebuked by his cold tone.


    "Bradley, sorry for beingte," Mandy apologized.


    Living a fantastic lifetely, free from X''s orders and tasks, Mandy had been indulging in shopping and


    beauty treatments, carefree and content.


    Bradley slid a bank card to Mandy and said with a raised eyebrow, "Mandy, I''m hiring you to be my


    fiancee."


    Mandy found the statement absurd. Naturally, she declined outright. Did he think she woulde


    running whenever he called, like a dog?


    Upon hearing her refusal, Bradley''s gaze turned dark as he questioned, "Have you considered the


    consequences of rejecting me?"


    Scoffing, Mandy took the tea the tea master passed her, took a sip, and retorted, "Are you trying to take


    your lifesaver''s life?"


    Bradley took a long look at Mandy. She wasn''t afraid. She had been investigating Bradley''s liver


    transnt recently and had some clues.


    "Mandy, I''ll ask you onest time. Do you really not want to?"
