    Upon hearing Bradley’s questioning words, Billy’s expression turned cold, and he trembled with anger


    as he retorted, “Bradley Warner, don’t think that your charms can sway between Liliane and Esther. It’s


    just that they are foolish to be attracted to your appearance.


    “Don’t feel too proud. You better pray that you never have a daughter. Your womanizing ways will one


    day be retribution upon your own daughter.”


    ”


    Bradley chuckled instead of getting angry, reaching out to throw a photo into Billy’s arms. Open your


    eyes and take a good look. How much resemnce is there between Liliane and you?


    In the photo, Liliane stood in a pure white wedding gown, a delicate and beautiful flower. Standing


    beside her was Shane, also dressed formally, with their facial features showing a high degree of


    simrity.


    “Bradley, what benefit do you gain from deliberately sowing discord? Did Esther tell you these things?”


    rk found a reasonable exnation for everything that had happened to Esther recently, knowing


    that Billy was not Esther’s biological father.


    “Mr. Anstey, all of this has nothing to do with Esther. It was Shane who orchestrated the kidnapping of


    Esther and Felix to prevent Esther from appearing at the wedding. The kidnappers imed that it was


    Shane who instructed them to kidnap Esther.

    heart?


    “ording to my investigation, Shane and Leah were a couple during their school days. Only after


    Shane went abroad for further studies did you get together with Leah! Also, think about why you had


    diarrhea today. Was it really just an ident?”


    rk sent the information he had investigated to Billy’s phone, urging him to take a look.


    Billy, though skeptical, was shocked when he saw the investigation data. He discovered that he had


    been deceived.


    Kevin nced sympathetically at Billy, feeling that the man was incredibly unlucky. None of his


    daughters were his own.


    “Mr. Anstey, it’s simple to find out whether Liliane is your biological daughter. Just do a DNA paternity


    test!”


    Bradley gripped Esther’s wrist and briskly marched toward Liliane’s ward. With his towering height, he


    covered the distance quickly while Esther stumbled along, barely keeping up.


    Upon reaching the ward, Bradley forcefully kicked open the door to Liliane’s room, startling the medical


    staff inside.


    Liliane’s condition was not optimistic. Her pre–existing heart condition had worsened, and the societal


    rejection added to her struggles. Shey on the hospital bed, relying on oxygen to breathe.
