My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 656

"Mr. Pendleton," Esther said, her voice filled with fury.

Had she made a mistake trusting Jolene's words about Chadwick? Could he really be this cold, lacking empathy for others' misfortune?

Would Chadwick go to such lengths to save Jolene, who was desperate? Or did he have hidden motives from the start?

Was that why he had reacted so strongly when he found out Jolene was pregnant?

Chadwick removed Esther's veil and taunted her, "Already playing the dutiful wife, trying to control me?"

"Mr. Pendleton, you don't have to pity the accident, but—"

"Pity? Why should I?" he icily interrupted her. "The world is full of suffering. If I pitied everyone, would it ever end? Enough of this nonsense. Let's not ruin my happy day!"

Esther took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.

Meanwhile, Chadwick impatiently tapped the car window.

"Tell them to clear the way. It's my big day," he demanded.

He would have taken a helicopter if he had known about the traffic.

"Understood, Mr. Pendleton."

Perhaps due to Chadwick's influence, the intersection cleared quickly. They arrived at the venue on time.

Bridesmaids guided Esther and Mandy to the bridal suite. Mandy removed her veil, gasping, "I can't breathe in this."
