Upon hearing Jasper's words, Bradley raised an eyebrow and spoke coldly. "Searle, let me remind you that Esther is my wife. Wherever I take her is legal, and it's none of your business, understood?"
Jasper reminded Bradley of a harsh reality. "Don't forget your and Esther's divorce ruling."
Bradley arched an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming like frigid stars in the night, devoid of warmth.
"Bradley, can I go inside first?" Mandy shivered from the cold and struggled to speak clearly.
Bradley nodded, allowing Mandy to enter the villa. As soon as she stepped inside, uncontrollable sneezes overtook her.
The caregiver promptly poured her a glass of warm water, providing much-needed relief after a small sip.
"Mandy, you're finally back!" Liora burst into tears upon seeing Mandy return, embracing her without regard for her discomfort.
Mandy glanced at the seals plastered all over the house, her heart sinking. "Mom, please stop crying for now."
Liora forced back her tears. "Mandy, you're scolding me. Your father never scolds me!"
Unable to rely on Liora, Mandy bypassed her and turned to the caregiver. "Did my mom pack all the jewelry and belongings in the house?"
The caregiver shook her head. "She has been crying all this time."
Mandy stared at Liora in disbelief, wishing she could reason with her. Given the circumstances, couldn't she be more sensible?
