Bradley nodded and coldly asked, “Yes, Mr. Searle?”

Jasper dashed to Bradley and grabbed his collar to punch him without a word.

Bradley was well-trained and would never give Jasper a chance to hit him. He caught the latter’s fist

and mocked him. “Mr. Searle, are you being angry over a woman?”

Jasper lifted his leg to kick Bradley, and the two men started to fight.

The brawl went on for over ten minutes. No one got the best of the other one, and the office was a

mess.

“Jasper, are you done!?”

Bradley glowered and shoved away Jasper, who was like an enraged lion. He slowly wiped the blood

on the corner of his lips with his hand.

“For a wh-”

Jasper did not wait for Bradley to finish, interrupting stiffly, “Esther’s daughter is dead! Bradley Warner,

that’s your daughter, too!”

Bradley snickered. “Jasper Searle, Esther’s child could be any man’s kid but never mine.”

“You’re a ruthless man!” Jasper’s forehead was wounded. “How could you be so ruthless to a woman

possibly betray you?”

Bradley walked to his chair and sat down, crossing his legs elegantly.

“What are you getting at, Searle? That the video clip was made up?”

Jasper slammed two hands on the marble table in front of Bradley and said through gritted teeth, ”

Bradley raised his brow and answered flatly, “You wouldn’t think that I didn’t verify whether the clip is

real or not? My grandfather got into an accident because of that clip. I found the culprit a long time.

ago. Do you know why Esther was in that room? Because the person she wanted to set up was me.

But she was caught in it herself in the end.”

“That’s impossible!” Jasper refuted swiftly, “Esther wouldn’t do something like that. Warner, you’ll pay

the price for your arrogance one day.”

With that, Jasper turned to leave but turned around again when he got to the door. He looked at

Bradley, who had got back to work.

Bradley looked up aloofly and asked, “You do?”

Jasper was quiet for a moment before he replied slowly, “I do. But you don’t deserve to know the

He left after saying that.

As Bradley held the pen in his hand, his thoughts were completely disrupted because of what Jasper

said.

Why did his grandfather urge him to marry Esther? What was the reason?

Bradley picked up his jacket and went back to Warner Manor, entering Thomas’ study room

straightaway.

Clark, the butler who had always served Thomas, was cleaning the his belongings. He asked in

surprise when he saw Bradley walk in, “Mr. Bradley, what can I help you with?”

“Clark, why did my grandfather insist I marry Esther?”

Clark quietly picked up a book from the bookshelf and passed him a yellowed photo.

When Bradley took it, he recognized that the boy in the photo was him at a glance but had no

impression of the girl.

“Who’s this girl?”
