Mandy truly worried that if Bradley insisted on her being the butler, she might consider poisoning him, causing partial paralysis, and inheriting the entire Warner Group's wealth.
"Bradley, we're having oriental cuisine for dinner tonight. Is that okay?" she asked.
"Sure."
Bradley headed upstairs, changed his clothes, and returned.
Despite knowing that Bradley was her enemy, Mandy couldn't help but be captivated by his handsome and charismatic appearance. He was incredibly good-looking, briefly entrancing her before she regained her senses.
They both sat down at the dining table and began their dinner.
Bradley put down his utensils and spoke coldly. "Join me at the courthouse tomorrow morning."
"To the courthouse?" Mandy pretended not to know, asking, "Is something happening?"
"You'll find out tomorrow."
Bradley left Mandy alone and went to his bedroom. He checked the legal department's messages on his phone, which irritated him immensely.
Restlessly pacing back and forth, he eventually entered his study. There, he took out a DVD from a cabinet and inserted it into the player. Soon, a video played, showing his and Esther's wedding from years ago. Thomas was still around then, standing beside Esther with a joyful expression.
In the video, Esther appeared shy but happy, her eyes shining brightly.
Bradley tapped his knee gently with his fingers and thought, 'Esther! You were the one who insisted on marrying me at first, crying and pestering me!
'Now, you're resolute in wanting a divorce. Look clearly, I can have anyone!'
Bradley told her curtly, "Remember, you're my fiancee."
Mandy stayed silent.
'Fiancee? Don't think I don't know you're just using me!' she grumbled inwardly.
Bradley turned off the screen and looked at Mandy condescendingly. "Do your part, and don't ask what you shouldn't be asking!"
"Bradley, you love Esther. You'll regret divorcing her," Mandy kindly advised.
Bradley smirked derisively and laughed. "To divorce or not is not up to her! Understand?"
Thinking about the crystal coffin in the underground chamber on the island and X's instructions, Mandy continued to play her role as a kind and gentle angel. "Bradley, have you ever heard that it's a relentless pursuit to win back one's spouse?"
