My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 682

The caregiver left.

Mandy watched as Liora cried without pause. She briefly glanced at Jasper and Bradley in the garden before taking

a deep breath and hurrying to check the bedroom.

All the valuable items had seals on them. Mandy didn’t want to end up broke, nor did she wish to spend too much

time contemplating every purchase.

She began by taking a shower and changing her clothes before packing her belongings.

Meanwhile, Liora was still in tears as she approached her. “Mandy, what’s going to happen to your father? And your

brother? Can Mr. Warner help them?”

Mandy let go of the scarf she was holding and met Liora’s gaze. In a hushed voice, she replied, “Mom, the caregiver

is gone, and our possessions are sealed. I understand your concern for them, but shouldn’t you worry about us?

Will we end up homeless?”

Upon hearing that, Liora calmly replied, “Mandy, I have money and a house. We won’t end up on the streets.”

“Mom, this house is in my name, and it’s sealed. Why do you think your house won’t be? They’ll confiscate all illicit

gains!”

Mandy wanted to explain that everything Liora had received from Richard was part of his and Selene’s never cared

before, but she could make her repay every penny if she chose to.

“It won’t happen.” Liora pulled out her phone and showed Mandy her bank account balance.

Mandy chuckled and said sarcastically, “Mom, these funds are already frozen by the bank!”

“That can’t be!” Liora logged into other accounts only to find all her assets frozen without exception!

“I warned you, this money is ill-gotten, and they won’t let you keep it. Instead of crying here, you’d better return to

your room and pack your things. We’ll take as much as we can. If we run out of options, we can sell them as

secondhand items to make ends meet.”

Liora took a few steps, then turned back to look at her daughter. “Mandy, I don’t know how to pack.”

She had always relied on caregivers and maids—she had never done these tasks herself.

Mandy rubbed her temples. She wanted to say, “Didn’t you know how to manage before you met Richard?” but

decided against it.

Liora felt like crying but could only leave when she saw Mandy’s impatient expression.

Mandy was irritated by Liora’s helplessness. She pushed open the French windows and walked out onto the terrace,

where she saw Jasper and Bradley in the garden.

She believed she had played a role in the Pendletons’ downfall, so the Quills shouldn’t treat her harshly. She decided

to wait for an opportunity to talk to Jasper later.

Jasper marched angrily toward Bradley. “Bradley, Esther not only donated her liver but also got herself involved for

your sake. Doesn’t it trouble your conscience to treat a woman who loved you so deeply like this?”

Bradley sneered contemptuously. “Everything Esther did for me was entirely her own choic—”

Without warning, Jasper punched Bradley in the jaw. Amidst the falling snowflakes, Jasper and Bradley engaged in a

childish brawl.

Bradley grabbed Jasper’s collar and pushed him against the rose trellis. The snowflakes continued to drift down.

“Jasper Searle! This is your last warning.

“Esther is my woman.

“I want her to live, she lives.

“I want her to die, she dies.

“If you dare covet my woman like a rat in the gutter again, I’ll show you the consequences, understand?”
