Chapter 283
The helicopter hovered at a certain altitude, and a rope ladder was thrown down.
Kevin glanced at Bradley, who was about to descend from the rope ladder, and stopped him,
concerned.” Bradley, this height is too dangerous. You don’t need to take this risk.”
As for Esther’s desire to run away, Kevin thought, ‘Let her run!”
That woman seemed to bring bad luck wherever she went. Anyone who got involved with her would
end up in trouble!
With his status and conditions, Bradley could have any woman he wanted. What made Esther so
special?
“Enough,” Bradley interrupted Kevin’s thoughts.
During his university days, Bradley excelled in various sports, from golf and basketball to football, rock.
climbing, skydiving, swimming, and more.
With agile movements, Bradley jumped down from the rope ladder, landing safely on a soft grassy
area. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Kevin sighed in relief as he watched Bradley’s safe landing. He turned to the helicopter pilot and
instructed, “Let’s return to Warner Manor,”
Once the cabin door of the helicopter closed, Kevin patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear. That
height was truly terrifying. Forget skydiving. Just looking at the ground below made his legs weak!
Esther crawled out of the smoking car, ignoring the blood on her forehead. She mustered all her
strength to pull Billy out from the side where he was trapped.
Although Esther, sitting in the passenger seat, wasn’t seriously injured, the airbag on Billy’s side had
deployed. Without help, he wouldn’t have been able to escape the car alone.
“Dad, are you okay?” Esther asked, surprising Billy.
Billy looked at Esther in disbelief. “Esther, what did you just call me?”
Esther hadn’t expected to blurt out, “Dad.” She shifted her gaze awkwardly and replied coldly, “I’m glad
you’re fine.”
Bradley approached angrily, striding toward them. His cold gaze fell on Esther’s wrist, and he sneered.”
So, Esther, you’re trying to run away?”
Billy instinctively stood in front of Esther, protecting her like a father would. He angrily scolded Bradley,”
Mr. Warner, Mr. Thomas would never teach you to treat your wife this way!”
“In what capacity are you speaking to me, Mr. Anstey?” Bradley’s gaze remained nonchalant as it
landed on Esther’s icy face.
Compared to the current Esther, who was guarded and sharp, he preferred the soft and affectionate
Esther. The Esther, who could act cute, throw tantrums, and even show a little temper seemed more
real to him.
“Mr. Warner, it doesn’t matter what status I’m speaking from!” Billy positioned himself as a shield in
front of Esther, fuming with anger. “I won’t let you imprison Esther again!”
Bradley mocked with a smirk, “Imprisonment is the reward for obedient girls.”
Billy’s eyes widened in a fury. “Warner, don’t think you have absolute power! We live in a lawful
society!” “Esther, come here!” Bradley commanded, his anger and resentment evident. Deep down, he
always had
a lingering feeling that if he couldn’t keep her by his side, she would soar freely like a bird in the
boundless sky, eventually becoming unattainable.
“Esther, don’t go near him,” Billy pleaded, spreading his arms to shield her. She had already lost her
biological parents, which was tragic enough, and now she had also lost her child.
What meaning would her life hold if she lost her freedom too?
“Bradley, we have already signed the divorce papers…”
