Bradley's words seized everyone's attention.
Paul, Tamara, and Logan were shocked by Bradley's attempt to use his son to coerce Esther into taking an oath.
Esther was incensed. She approached Bradley and discerned the obsession and possessiveness in his sinister eyes.
With a sharp slap, she rebuked, "Bradley, is my sister's arduous childbirth a pretext for pressuring me to swear an oath? If you're unworthy of being a father, how can you face Felix? How can you face my sister, who met an unjust demise?"
Instead of reacting angrily to the slap, Bradley smirked slightly.
"Esther, your disguise, no matter how seamless..."
Esther was uninterested in further pointless words. She touched her chest and swore to the heavens, "I, Esther Quill, swear that I am not Bradley Warner's wife. If I lie, let Felix and I never meet again in this life!"
As Esther swore, Logan's heartstrings tightened. Yet, he refrained from intervening, placing full trust in Esther's sharp wit. He knew she wouldn't fall into Bradley's trap.
Upon hearing Esther's oath, he couldn't help applauding her quick wit inwardly.
Indeed, Esther was no longer Bradley's wife—they had divorced long ago.
Esther asked coldly, "Are you satisfied now?"
