Agatha paused, her concern evident as she left Esther’s bedroom. Her temples throbbed, aching from the recent
events.
This child truly worried her. In the past, when she was powerless and tormented by Bradley, Agatha’s concern had
been palpable. But now, Esther’s inclination toward violence and even killing was deeply troubling.
Regret gnawed at Agatha. She realized that inducing a new personality in Esther may not have been the right
choice. Instead, she should have helped her forget Bradley. She feared that mere forgetfulness wouldn’t protect
Esther from Bradley’s potential harm.
With a heavy sigh, Agatha grappled with her own helplessness. She wasn’t sure if her actions had been in Esther’s
best interest.
Esther neatly hung her clothes back from the suitcase and sat on the couch. She held her tablet, scouring the

darkness descended. That’s when Agatha knocked on her door.
“Esther, it’s time for dinner downstairs.”
Esther approached Agatha and asked, “Grandma Foster, did he really imprison my sister?”
Agatha nodded solemnly. “Yes. I heard he had a secret room with a crystal coffin inside.”
These were not fabrications—they were based on real events.
Esther’s disbelief was evident. “Does he have no regard for the law at all?”
Agatha gazed at Esther and spoke gently. “To some people, the law is just a tool. Your Uncle Oliver and Grandpa
Gabriel tried to save her, but she was hidden away. How could they possibly find her? He was convinced that no one
could ever locate her.”
Esther asserted, “I want to learn martial arts.”
Agatha asked, “You? Now?”
“Yes, I want to learn self-defense techniques,” Esther replied, taking a deep breath. She clenched her fists, her
determination radiating from her gaze. “Grandma Foster, you’re right. Revenge is best served cold. I need to
become powerful enough to overcome any obstacle. Only then can I seek revenge.”
Agatha remained silent, understanding Esther’s resolve.
Esther concluded, “Don’t worry. I won’t sacrifice my life for such scum.”

From that day forward, Esther embarked on six months of intensive training, a plan for revenge. She acquired skills
in martial arts, marksmanship, driving, lock-picking, photography, and more.
In less than half a year, Esther transformed from a delicate, pitiable girl into a strong and resolute young woman.
During this period, she diligently gathered information about Bradley.

search for Esther. Countless online comments praised his dedication, with some believing Bradley was a devoted
man.
Esther was bewildered by the adoration in those online comments. She couldn’t comprehend why some women
were so forgiving of men. Could Bradley’s six-month-long search truly absolve him of everything he had done to
Esther?
Each time Esther read posts praising Bradley, a deep well of resentment swelled within her. While other netizens
might forget what Bradley had done, she was determined to ensure he remembered forever. After all, he had taken
her sister’s life.
“Esther, are you ready?”
Throughout those six months, Agatha stood by Esther, guiding her through this transformative journey. Along the
way, she introduced Esther to Xara, Steffan, Jacob, Sunshine, Twinkle, and Felix.
