"This time, it's not up to you!" Jasper shouted, turning to Kevin. "Stop him!"
Kevin promptly extended his arms to block Bradley, saying, "Bradley, she's not your wife!"
Bradley roared, "Kevin, get out of my way!"
Kevin replied, "I won't! I was too weak before, and it cost Esther her life!"
This time, even if it meant risking his life, he wouldn't let Bradley take her away, no matter what.
While Bradley struggled with Kevin, the latter was repeatedly thrown down. Yet, he didn't give up.
Jasper asked the firefighters to help restrain Bradley while he and the medical personnel loaded the charred body onto the ambulance.
The medical personnel quickly confirmed that there were no signs of life in the body.
Everyone present hung their heads, mourning the loss of a vibrant life.
Jasper paid the ambulance driver to expedite the coroner's report and then take the charred body to the funeral home.
-
After a few hours.
Upon seeing the charred body, the mortician at the funeral home was taken aback.
Jasper took out his phone, found a picture of Esther, and asked, "Esther was very beautiful in life, and she cherished her beauty. Can you make her look like this? I want her to bid farewell to this world looking her most beautiful."
The mortician replied, "Wait a moment. I'll call the makeup artist."
When the makeup artist arrived and saw the charred body and then compared it to the photo, he couldn't help but sigh internally. He wondered how such a beautiful girl could meet such a fate.
"I can do it, but…"
Jasper gazed at the charred body with teary eyes and replied in a choked voice, "Money is not an issue. You can start now."
