My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 653

Sadie glanced at Esther, and Mandy responded with a warm smile. "I've just returned from overseas and don't have many local friends yet. Besides, my brother thought it'd be good for me to bond with my future sister-in-law."

Eager to keep things smooth with Mandy, Esther invited, "Sure, come on over. Let's hang out together."

"Sounds great."

The nearby hot spring villas were decked out in festive decorations. After dinner, the three women relaxed before heading to the outdoor thermal baths.

Wearing a swimsuit that accentuated her figure, Mandy stretched out beside Esther. However, Esther's gaze fixated on a small, almost-healed scar under Mandy's arm.

"Mandy, did you injure yourself there?" Esther asked.

Instead of revealing the scar's true origin—a remnant from her plastic surgery transformation from Liliane to Mandy—she deflected, "Don't you have one?"

Neither Esther nor Sadie had any such scars.

"Maybe it's more noticeable because of my extremely fair skin?" Mandy casually suggested.

Sitting beside Esther, Sadie looked at Mandy in the thermal water and softly asked, "Are you fairer than Esther?"

Mandy reluctantly replied, "No."
