Esther rose and stared at the villa ahead, its gothic design casting a gloomy atmosphere. Her palehands brushed the wooden fence as she sighed deeply.
Just as Esther and Kevin were preparing to leave, the screeching of tires announced Chadwick’sarrival. He stepped out of the car, exuding an aura of danger that couldn’t be ignored.
Esther’s heart clenched involuntarily. “Chadwick…”
Chadwick ignored her and forcefully kicked open the wooden fence, as if entering a lawless town.
Esther exchanged a look with Kevin and, without a word, they followed him into the yard.
Chadwick burst open the front door with another kick.
Suppressing her mocking thoughts, Mandy softly called out, “Brother-”
Chadwick swiftly grabbed Mandy’s jaw, pushing her against a wall adorned with intricate designs.“Mandy, who allowed you to come back to the country?”novelbin

“At least you have a shred of conscience,” Chadwick remarked, his words dripping with scorn.

“Chadwick, I’m begging you,” Esther pleaded.
Chadwick retorted, “You’re asking me to agree to have Mandy donate her liver to save Bradley?”
“Yes,” she replied softly. “Chadwick, please, you’re a kind-hearted man. Help us.”
With an air of condescension, Chadwick settled into a sofa. “Esther, I recall you mentioning that I’m aman who holds grudges.”
