said.

Bradley remained cold and indifferent. Despite its grandeur, the Warner Manor lacked warmth until

Esther married into the family. Over time, the manor gained a cozy and homely. atmosphere.

Thomas had been particularly fond of Esther, fearing that Bradley’s coldness and would drive Esther

away. Clark had always believed that Esther would never leave Bradley, as her love for him was

unwavering.

But now, Clark understood Esther’s current state of mind. She no longer loved Bradley, and perhaps

she no longer wanted him, either.

Could a woman’s heart, once turned cold, be warmed again?

“Grandpa Thomas was the best grandfather in the world,” Esther said.

He had tirelessly sought the truth.

Esther blamed the car accident five years ago for her imprisonment and separation from her children.

“Mr. Thomas was a good person,” Clark murmured, feeling a pang of guilt. He had promised Thomas

that he would take care of Bradley and Esther, but he wondered if he had failed in that duty.

Shane’s confession ignited anger within Ben. He had always admired his father, but now he saw him as

a fallen role model.

“Dad, I hate you,” Ben declared, wiping away his tears. “You’ve become the type of person I despise

the most. But don’t worry, from this day forward, I’ll remind myself not to become like you. I want to be

someone pure-hearted who never betrays their beliefs.”

Ben helped his mother to her feet and turned to Bradley. “Mr. Warner, if my father committed a crime,

he should face the consequences. If you don’t want to report him, I can do it on your behalf.”

Shane felt a sense of relief seeing his son’s determination and honesty. He saw his younger self

grow up to be as firm in his convictions as Ben? But Felix would forever remain as he was now,

confined to the ocean.

A pang shot through Bradley’s heart, and a deep ache spread through his body.

Kevin noticed Bradley’s discomfort and reached out to support him, asking with concern, Bradley, are

you alright?”

Bradley composed himself and waved his hand dismissively.
