My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 761

Jolene’s voice sounded panicked on the other end of the phone, causing Esther’s heart to race. She nervously

asked, “Jolene, what’s happening?”

“Esther, my stomach is in excruciating pain… Please come and help me…”

Esther quickly asked, “Where are you right now?”

Jolene abruptly ended the call and sent Esther her location, but her phone became unreachable.

Esther hurriedly left, apologizing to the others, “I’m sorry. I have to go.”

Xara asked, “What’s going on, Esther?”

“It’s Jolene, the girl Chadwick used to look after. She might be unwell, and I need to check on her,” Esther replied.

Kevin, always straightforward, asked, “Esther, why do you care about her? Haven’t you seen how Chadwick treated

you?”

Jasper swatted Kevin’s shoulder and added, “Jolene’s father, just like Esther’s father, was a DEA agent. Maybe

Esther can’t just turn a blind eye.”

“I see.” Kevin suddenly understood Esther’s concern. “But it’s strange. She and Esther aren’t particularly close, so

why didn’t she call the emergency hotline?”

Jasper looked at Kevin disapprovingly and turned to Esther, speaking gently. “Esther, I’ll come with you.”

Esther declined, “No need. I have bodyguards.”

“If anything happens to Jolene, you’ll need someone to help. I’ll be there for you.” Jasper frowned. “However, what

Kevin said has a point. What if this is a trap?”

Esther’s heart skipped a beat. “Do you think so?”

Kevin advised, “Stay cautious. Take Jasper with you.”

He exchanged a meaningful look with Jasper, hinting at giving them some alone time.

Jasper sighed and rubbed his forehead. If it meant getting closer to Esther…

“Alright.” Esther looked at Felix and Sunshine. “Xara, please take care of the kids.”

“Don’t worry about them,” Xara reassured her.

Esther and Jasper followed Jolene’s location to a motel and rang the doorbell. After a significant delay, Jolene

opened the door with red eyes. She looked at Esther hesitantly and asked, “Esther, can we talk privately?”

“Of course.”

Esther and Jasper had a quiet conversation before Esther entered the hotel room. As she ventured further into the

room, she noticed a peculiar and unpleasant smell. On the table were several syringes, aluminum foil, and white

powder scattered about.

An alarming thought crossed Esther’s mind instantly. She pointed at the white powder and asked, “Jolene, what is

this?”

Jolene replied casually, “Oh, that’s powdered sugar.” She then clutched her stomach and sat on the couch.

“Jolene!” Esther clenched her fists and asked in a low voice, “Can you swear on your father that it’s just powdered

sugar?”

Jolene’s gaze avoided Esther’s.

Esther realized that Jolene was aware of her suspicions and asked with a heavy heart, “Jolene, your father used it to

catch those criminals…”

“I know… I know my father is a hero.” Jolene cried out in distress. “But look at my life! It’s like a cruel joke. I-I

mistook the person who harmed my father for a savior. I even considered having his child!”
