“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.

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 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.”
“Alright.”

keep watching?”
“I want to look at her for as long as I can because I’m afraid that once she’s cremated, I won’t see her again.”
The makeup artist didn’t say anything more and transformed the charred body into a beautiful girl, using his
professional skills.
“Sir, does this look okay to you?”
Jasper approached and said after one glance, “It’s very similar. Thank you.”

“Kevin.”
Kevin watched everything unfold from a distance, unable to contain his pain. When he saw the charred body a few

home, it was undeniable that all of this had truly happened.
Kevin said, “Bradley! Didn’t he have a crystal coffin?”
Jasper interrupted, “Kevin, let Bradley keep the crystal coffin for himself. Esther was imprisoned there in her
lifetime. Now that she has passed away, let her have her freedom.”
“She’s not Esther.”
Bradley watched the charred body from a distance, still unable to believe the reality before his eyes.
“Yes, yes, she’s not Esther,” Kevin mocked, taunting him. “Bradley, do you think that just because you believe she’s
not Esther, then she really isn’t?
“Just because she isn’t, you can cover up everything you’ve done?”
