Kevin feared more troubles if they wasted more time, so he grabbed Esther and left the bedroom.
“Ms. Quill!”
“Madam…”
The service staff were startled as Kevin suddenly pulled Esther out of the bedroom. One of the maids, eager to
please Bradley, immediately called him.
“Mr. Warner! Dr. Slade has taken—”
Kevin noticed the maid informing Bradley and quickly snatched the phone, violently throwing it to the floor.
Positioning himself between Esther and the approaching service staff, he handed his phone to Esther and said,
“Esther, drive away when the right moment comes while I hold them off.

chance. Once you escape and meet Jasper, he’ll arrange for you to reunite with Felix abroad.”
Esther asked hoarsely, “And you?”
“Don’t worry about me! Would Bradley really kill me?”
The service staff didn’t dare to let Kevin and Esther leave. If Kevin took Esther away, they wouldn’t be able to bear
Bradley’s wrath.
“Kevin, thank you!”
Kevin patted his backpack and said, “There’s pepper spray inside. Take it out.”
“Alright.”
Previously, Esther had considered giving up because she couldn’t find a way to escape. It was different now. With
Kevin there to rescue her, she saw hope. If she escaped this time, she would be free to go wherever she pleased.
Kevin stood his ground, fending off the service staff and using pepper spray on anyone who got too close.
Kevin wasn’t very familiar with the manor, but he continued to shield Esther as they headed to his car.
“Esther, there are clothes and a phone in the car. Drive!”
Esther stared at the nearby car, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. It felt surreal like she was in a
dream.
“Kevin! Let’s go together!”
Kevin turned and looked at Esther, speaking firmly. “Don’t worry about me. Just go!”
“But—”
Kevin sternly reminded her, “No buts. Esther, if you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to escape.”

with the service staff.
Taking a deep breath, she turned the car key. She revved the engine, and the car’s roar sounded like a burst of
thunder in the night.
“Clear the way!”
Esther was utterly reckless and drove fearlessly, determined to break free.
The black off-road vehicle raced into the boundless darkness of the night like a shining bolt of lightning.
Esther felt her blood boil and her entire body burn. She was going to escape—to the ends of the earth, to a place
where Bradley would never, ever find her.
Esther gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes sparkling like a myriad of stars as she focused on the road
ahead.
She was heading toward a path of freedom!
