My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 688

Bradley got into the car and took out his phone to check on Esther's condition. As soon as he did that, he noticed a suspicious figure on the basement surveillance footage.

"What are you doing?" Sally Napier, a maid, grabbed the man and sternly reprimanded him, "Get out of here quickly. There are security cameras here, and Mr. Warner will see it!"

The man, Mike Salter, pushed Sally away and cursed, "Shut your trap!"

He had heard rumors about a wealthy heir who had imprisoned a young and beautiful woman in the basement. He was curious about what kind of woman would be kept captive by such a wealthy person.

"Don't mess around!" Sally rushed forward and held onto Mike's thigh, pleading desperately, "This job pays so well. If you mess it up..."

Mike kicked her aside and sneered. "I've been tired of an old hag like you for years. You're just getting in my way!"

The more Sally stopped him, the more excited he became. Mike approached the crystal coffin reeking of alcohol. He peered through it and saw Esther inside. He couldn't contain his excitement and said, "Rich people really know how to play!"

When Esther saw Mike's sinister gaze, she tightly covered herself with the thin blanket.

Sally did her best to stop him, saying, "You can't... You can't..."

The intoxicated Mike didn't care at all. He pushed the coffin lid, but it didn't budge.

"What's going on?"

Sally said, "You need a remote control to open the coffin lid, and I don't have it."

"Stop f*cking lying!" Mike pointed at Esther. "She's not dead. If you don't have the remote control, how does she eat, drink, and use the bathroom?"

"I really don't have it. I need to call Mr. Warner for everything I do—"

"Then why are you standing there doing nothing?" Mike pulled out a phone from Sally's apron and interrogated, "Which is his phone number?"
