My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 761

Jolene's voice sounded panicked on the other end of the phone, causing Esther's heart to race. She nervously asked, "Jolene, what's happening?"

"Esther, my stomach is in excruciating pain... Please come and help me..."

Esther quickly asked, "Where are you right now?"

Jolene abruptly ended the call and sent Esther her location, but her phone became unreachable.

Esther hurriedly left, apologizing to the others, "I'm sorry. I have to go."

Xara asked, "What's going on, Esther?"

"It's Jolene, the girl Chadwick used to look after. She might be unwell, and I need to check on her," Esther replied.

Kevin, always straightforward, asked, "Esther, why do you care about her? Haven't you seen how Chadwick treated you?"

Jasper swatted Kevin's shoulder and added, "Jolene's father, just like Esther's father, was a DEA agent. Maybe Esther can't just turn a blind eye."

"I see." Kevin suddenly understood Esther's concern. "But it's strange. She and Esther aren't particularly close, so why didn't she call the emergency hotline?"

Jasper looked at Kevin disapprovingly and turned to Esther, speaking gently. "Esther, I'll come with you."

Esther declined, "No need. I have bodyguards."

"If anything happens to Jolene, you'll need someone to help. I'll be there for you." Jasper frowned. "However, what Kevin said has a point. What if this is a trap?"

Esther's heart skipped a beat. "Do you think so?"

An alarming thought crossed Esther's mind instantly. She pointed at the white powder and asked, "Jolene, what is this?"

Jolene replied casually, "Oh, that's powdered sugar." She then clutched her stomach and sat on the couch.

"Jolene!" Esther clenched her fists and asked in a low voice, "Can you swear on your father that it's just powdered sugar?"

Jolene's gaze avoided Esther's.

Esther realized that Jolene was aware of her suspicions and asked with a heavy heart, "Jolene, your father used it to catch those criminals..."

"I know... I know my father is a hero." Jolene cried out in distress. "But look at my life! It's like a cruel joke. I-I mistook the person who harmed my father for a savior. I even considered having his child!"
