My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 700

"Bradley, there's something I'd like to discuss, and I brought wine in Esther's stead," Mandy said, handing the tray to Bradley.

Bradley took the wine glass and replied, "Mandy, please have a seat."

Mandy settled on the sofa opposite Bradley. "I apologize for tonight. My mother hasn't adjusted yet, and..."

Thinking about Liora's behavior made Mandy feel awkward.

Bradley gently reminded her, "You saved me, and I'm accommodating you."

Mandy understood his meaning. She knew Bradley was emotionally distant, almost cold.

"Bradley, if my father won't hand over his hidden forces..."

Bradley raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Mr. Pendleton has no choice, but we might need to put on an act together."

"I'd be honored to help you, Bradley."

Mandy always felt uneasy alone with Bradley, unable to predict his next move.

"I'll rest now, Bradley."

Bradley didn't stop her, and Mandy sighed with relief. She would act with Bradley but wouldn't risk her life for X's orders.
