My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Just as Cole got into the car, Camila took out her phone and sent a message to an anonymous number.

[Mr. Johnston from the Warner Group came to inquire about the identity of the couple who adopted Pixie.]

Within three seconds of sending the message, the recipient responded with a cold and simple: [.]

Camila glanced at the Manuka honey that Cole had brought and estimated its value in her mind before she took it into her house.

After Cole got in the car, he made several phone calls and found out where the former Sunflower Welfare director, Joan Johnston, currently lived.

Camila was unaware that Cole was raised as an orphan in Sunflower Welfare. A few orphans during then, including Cole, took on Joan’s surname-Johnston and affectionately referred to her as “Mama Johnston”.

Because Cole excelled in his studies, Joan had specifically instructed him to study hard, as only through education could he change his destiny.

Cole’s diligence and outstanding academic performance had caught the attention of Thomas, who sponsored him all the way until he completed his master’s degree abroad and became Bradley’s special assistant.

Joan now lived in a sanatorium not far from the Warner Group.

After Cole registered at the front desk, a staff member from the sanatorium escorted him to her room and explained, “Madam Johnston doesn’t sleep much most of the time. She’s usually awake around this time!”

When Cole entered the room, Joan was awake, sitting by the desk by the window and writing.

Joan’s handwriting was elegant with exquisite features, and Cole had managed to pick up her calligraphy skills.

“Mama Johnston,” Cole called out.

Joan, who was writing at the moment, turned around slowly and carefully examined Cole’s appearance.

“Cole, how’s your new job? The pay and benefits at the Warner Group are good. You must work hard and not let down Mr. Thomas’ support.”
