Bradley stared at the large photograph and disjointedly said, “No… Esther isn’t dead!”
Oliver stayed silent and just looked at Kevin, who motioned to his head as if to say that Bradley had gone insane.
Insane? Oliver snorted. Esther, the victim, hadn’t gone insane! How could Bradley, the perpetrator, be allowed to
escape like this?
“I’m giving you 24 hours. After that, the Warner Group won’t need to exist in this world.”
Oliver’s motivation wasn’t mercy for Bradley. It was primarily for the tens of thousands of employees at the Warner
Group. If the company went bankrupt, their families would suffer. The best way to minimize the impact on regular
employees was a direct share transfer, ensuring a smooth transition of the Warner Group to Felix’s name.

Bradley’s weapon.
Bradley gazed at Esther’s picture and suddenly chuckled. He looked at Oliver’s determined face, and his eyes took
on a sinister gleam.
“You want the Warner Group? Fine, I’ll give it to you. Give me back my son!”
Oliver sneered and walked away decisively.
Kevin sat in a chair, observing Bradley’s chiseled profile. He bent to pick up the document from the table, mocking,
“Bradley, you ruthlessly targeted Esther time and time again, all because you have the Warner Group.
“But now, the Warner Group is no more!”
Kevin pulled out his phone and showed the worth of the Warner Group’s stocks. “See it?”
Kevin only showed Bradley a glimpse of Warner Group’s stock and stood up. “Esther is gone, and you’re only
pretending to be deeply devoted now. If the Warner Group goes bankrupt, what will you do then?”
Bradley grabbed a bottle of red wine and hurled it at Kevin. The wine bottle flew through the air and violently
collided with the marble wall, sending shards of glass and red wine into the air.
The room filled with the strong aroma of red wine. A glass shard grazed Kevin’s face, causing a slight sting. He
gently wiped the blood away from his face and then laughed out loud.
“Bradley, are you angry?” Kevin looked at the blood on his fingertips, chuckling. “What’s there to be angry about?
You look at this photograph every day, and you think Esther will come back to life? When you see this photo,
doesn’t your mind ever recall the despicable things you did to her?”
Kevin kicked the broken wine bottle at his feet and walked over to Bradley. Together, they looked at the photograph

“When you see this familiar yet foreign face, do you have nightmares?”
Kevin finished speaking and turned to leave. He didn’t know if Bradley would have nightmares, but he knew he
would.
Ever since he had witnessed Esther’s car plunge off the cliff, he had been having nightmares every day. In these
nightmares, he would see Esther imprisoned by Bradley inside a transparent crystal coffin.
He repeatedly tried to rescue her but failed every time, even though Esther reassured him in the dreams that she
didn’t blame him.
Nevertheless, Kevin couldn’t forgive himself. Each time he stabbed a knife into Bradley’s heart, he was doing the
same to himself. He needed to keep reminding Bradley that he had caused Esther’s death.
