However, when Bradley threatened Esther, Billy’s long-lost paternal heart suddenly reawakened.“Esther, don’t worry about me. We live in a lawful society now. He won’t dare to do anything to me!”
Billy felt pathetic. He couldn’t even leave with Esther. No wonder Leah repeatedly called him useless-he truly was trash.
“Esther, do you dare to bet on it?”
Esther had run fast, causing her tied-up hair to come loose and hang down. The dark strands stuck toher sweaty face, making her look even more delicate and fair.
She stood at the edge of a steep cliff with a sheer drop behind her. Now that she genuinely wanted tobreak free, she could easily jump off the cliff in front of Bradley.
“Bradley, our affairs have nothing to do with him!”
Bradley slightly pressed the trigger, a cold chill flashing across his handsome face.
“Esther, whether it has anything to do with him or not is for me to decide!”
Esther took a deep breath, concealing all her true emotions, and slowly approached Bradley. Shereached. out and held Bradley’s wrist, forcing the gun’s muzzle in his hand to aim at her own forehead.
“Bradley, don’t you hate me?” Esther smiled faintly, challenging Bradley with her gaze. “Haven’t youalways wanted me to die as an apology?”
Veins bulged on Bradley’s forehead, and his clenched jaw showed how much he was holding back atthat
moment.
Kevin, anxious, shouted angrily, “Esther, can you please shut up for a moment?”
Esther looked at Kevin coldly, speaking in a detached tone. “Kevin, I have very few moments of regretin my life, but looking at your face now, I regret it. When I discovered that you had fallen into the waterback then, I should have turned a blind eye.”
Kevin raised an eyebrow, his tone unfriendly. “What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t you understand? It was me who asked Bradley to save you back then. Without me, you wouldbe buried six feet under by now!”
Kevin looked at Esther in disbelief, anxiously questioning, “Esther, what tricks are you trying to playnow?”
“Bradley, tell Kevin. Tell him who informed you that he was drowning back then!”
Bradley had no qualms hiding petty truths like this and stated flatly, “She was the one who informedme, Kevin.”
Kevin looked at Esther in shock. She… was actually his savior?
Esther looked at Kevin’s handsome face with Indifference and spoke calmly. “Kevin, I didn’t personally
save you, but I found Bradley to save you. Strictly speaking, I’m at least your lifesaver. Think back onhow you’ve treated me all these years!”
Esther knew very well why Kevin listened to Bradley unquestioningly. It was because, to Kevin, Bradleyhad given him a second chance at life.
In the past, she had loved Bradley and believed that love was everything. After being hurt so badly inlove, she finally realized that when she valued love more than life itself, she became a humble,unremarkable, and dim star.
“I didn’t know… I didn’t know it was you who first found me back then.”
