Chapter 127

Bradley sat gracefully on the sofa, casually crossing his legs, and spoke calmly and indifferently. “Mr.

Anstey, please have a seat.”

Billy took a seat, visibly frustrated. He looked at Bradley, who exuded a powerful aura despite his young age, and could not help but worry for his two daughters.

“Mr. Warner, I don’t want Esther and Liliane to become enemies because of you,” said Billy.

If possible, he, more than anyone, wanted Bradley to make a clear decision.

“Mr. Anstey, let me make one thing clear. It’s not me who chose them, but they chose me.” Bradley’s expression remained cold and indifferent, with a hint of bloodthirsty coldness flickering in his deep eyes. “As for me, I have only one choice, and that’s Felix.”

“So…” Billy quickly reacted. “You’ve chosen Liliane? Then why did you cancel the appointment today?”

If Bradley had chosen Liliane, why would he not turn up?

“I’m still legally married to Esther. She’s still my wife.” Bradley raised an eyebrow coldly and said casually, “Mr. Anstey, I don’t need to explain my actions to anyone, and I suggest you not show up at Primus Mansion again in the future.”

Esther was currently ill, and Billy’s presence could worsen her condition. Bradley did not want him to disturb her peace.

“Mr. Warner, Esther is my daughter,” said Billy.

Bradley sneered mockingly. “Do you know when she got released from prison? Do you know what she went through after her release? A father doesn’t become one through a chance sowing of seed. You don’t deserve that title!”

Billy thought of the dilemma he faced over the years, caught between Esther and his wife and daughter, and suddenly vented his grievances. “Bradley, you don’t know anything, so how can you say that?”

“I don’t want to know your difficulties.” Bradley stood up coldly, his voice icy. “If you continue to come to Primus Mansion without being invited, I won’t be pleased. And once I’m displeased…”

Billy was overwhelmed with frustration and angrily shouted, “Bradley, what do you want? As a man, you swing back and forth between my two daughters. What entitles you?”

“If you want to defend your daughter, I can have the company’s legal department discuss with Liliane regarding compensation for her youth. After that…’

Billy thought of Liliane, who had collapsed in Octagon. His face turned pale, and he muttered, כן No, don’t do it!”

Liliane had a heart condition. If Bradley really chose to abandon her, her heart would not be able to bear it-she would die.

Bradley looked at Billy and felt a twinge of heartache and pity. “You’re not worthy of being at father.”

Everyone knew that Esther was an illegitimate daughter, but she was innocent. If she had a choice, she would never choose such a father.

Abandoning a child was a sin.

With a hopeless look, Billy firmly stated to Bradley, “No! Esther is not my biological daughter. “The agony in his voice was palpable as he continued. “I made the decision to publicly declare her as my daughter, but the truth is, she is not biologically related to me.”

Bradley’s sharp gaze pierced Billy’s face, emanating a chilling intent as he asked in an indifferent tone, “So, you’re saying Esther is not your daughter?”

As a father, Billy understood the weight of his words. While he had accepted Faye’s request to raise Esther, his paternal instinct compelled him to prioritize Liliane when faced with the choice between Liliane and Esther.

“Yes, she is not my daughter,” Billy confessed, sinking into despair as he sat on the sofa.

He clasped his head in his hands, his anguish evident as he explained, “Esther’s mother entrusted her to me, wanting her to be raised in my family. However, I didn’t want Esther to feel like she was living under someone else’s roof at such a young age, so I made the decision to publicly declare her as my daughter.”
