My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 683

Jasper found Bradley's arrogance and self-assured demeanor remarkably ironic. "Can you lock her up for life? Do you believe that by keeping her captive, she'll fall in love with you again?"

Bradley's grip tightened slightly.

Jasper displayed no fear but instead continued to provoke, "Bradley, if you have the courage, end me today. If not, I'll persist! Someday, I'll find her whereabouts."

Bradley hadn't anticipated Jasper daring to taunt him like this in person. He clutched Jasper's collar even tighter.

Jasper remained unfazed, only escalating the provocation.

Mandy interjected, coldly reminding him while placing her hand on Bradley's arm, "Bradley, surveillance cameras cover this place. If you harm Mr. Searle, you won't escape unscathed either."

Bradley instantly released his grip. "Jasper, I'm warning you for the last time. Esther is my wife."

Jasper focused on Bradley's now snow-dusted shoes and grinned eerily. "She isn't."

Jasper lifted his head, locking eyes with Bradley's crimson ones. "Esther isn't your wife. She belongs to herself and possesses the right to shape her own life. She has the freedom to decide if she still loves you.

"Bradley, don't you realize how pitiful you are? You have no friends, no loved ones, no family, and eventually, nothing."

With a final mocking statement, Jasper turned and strolled away into the falling snow.

Mandy stood in the garden and watched Jasper's retreating figure, feeling a pang of envy. There was indeed a man in this world who loved Esther with pure, selfless devotion—the kind of love that women yearned for.

Mandy shivered from the cold. "Bradley, it's chilly outside. Let's head indoors."
