My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 684

X's robotic voice echoed in Mandy's ears, making her wonder why X knew her whereabouts so well.

"Bradley has her imprisoned in a crystal coffin on a small island in Southeast Varnusia," Mandy replied.

Upon hearing that, X asked, "Can you rescue her?"

"I can't," Mandy explained. "I didn't see any boats near the island, and there's no way to communicate with the outside world."

"Focus on Esther's safety. No need to intentionally worsen the situation between Bradley and her," X said.

Hesitating, Mandy asked, "So... what should I do?"

X scoffed. "Do I need to spell it out for you?"

"Boss, I suspect Bradley wants the Pendletons' covert forces..."

"Give them to him," X replied.

Mandy asked in shock, "Give them to him?"

Why should she give them away? Wouldn't it be better to keep them for herself?

"You want them?" X asked.

Mandy remained silent.

X sneered. "The Quills, Fosters, and Lockwoods are all after the Pendletons. Do you think you can retain control over the Pendletons' covert forces now? Think bigger!"

Until X hung up, Mandy couldn't quite grasp X's thoughts. She was also curious about X's identity. How did X seem to have all the answers?

Taking a deep breath, Mandy returned to the living room and found Bradley asleep on the sofa. She hesitated about covering him with a thin blanket but ultimately did so.

As she draped the blanket over him, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the sofa. "Trying to please me?"

Mandy awkwardly smiled and replied, "No."

"Mandy, do you want to be a savior, or do you want to end up dead?" he asked.

Mandy remained silent.

"Remember what you should and shouldn't do." With that, Bradley left the villa.

Mandy stared in the direction Bradley had gone, wishing for lightning to strike him out of anger. She had assumed Bradley would stay in any random hotel in Capitus, not return to the small island in Southeast Varnusia.

Bradley entered the basement and lay down in the coffin with Esther as if it were second nature!

The icy scents of snow and pine from Bradley surrounded Esther, causing her to stiffen instantly.

His hot breath, infused with a chilling intent to kill, whispered softly in her ears.
