Billy never imagined that Bradley would think of his daughter in such a way. Liliane had willingly risked her life to give birth to Felix just to preserve their bloodline. The hardships and pains she endured went unnoticed by Bradley.
âBradley, do you realize that Liliane almost died giving birth to your son?!â Billy exclaimed.
Bradley sarcastically clapped his hands and mocked, âSo, should I thank her for breaking the agreement and secretly giving birth to my child?â
Billy couldnât bear it any longer. He clenched his fist and fiercely threw a punch at Bradley. How could he, as a father, tolerate this man insulting his daughter?
âDo you know⦠Do you know that she risked her life to give birth to your childâ¦â Billyâs voice trembled with anger.
Bradley didnât dodge or evade. Instead, he grabbed Billyâs hand, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and questioned, âThen why did she secretly give birth to the child without telling me?â
Billy was infuriated. He thought Bradley was only indifferent and heartless toward Esther, but he now realized that Bradley was equally cold-blooded toward his own daughter.
âBradley, if you have an ounce of conscience, you shouldnât be so cruel to the woman who gave birth to your childâ¦â
Bradleyâs eyes turned icy, emanating a chilling aura, and his slightly parted lips revealed even more cruel. words. âWhen she woke up next to me back then, I had my assistant buy contraceptives and personally watched her take them. I even paid $15,000,000 for related expenses.
âShe took my money and didnât abide by the agreement⦠Iâve already shown great magnanimity by not holding her accountable. And now you want to blackmail me with this? Who gives you the right?â
Bradleyâs words contained shocking information that left Billy stunned. He asked, âWhat $15,000,000?â
âA sky-high payment for that night!â
Billy had never heard Leah or Liliane mention anything about this sum. He waved his hand decisively and said, âItâs impossible! My wife and Liliane would never do such a thing!â
âI can show you the agreement we signed back then anytime,â Bradley said, his gaze filled with an ominous light. âConsider it a favor because youâre Estherâs father. Youâd better behave.â
Billy couldnât bear to imagine how his wife would mock him if she found out that his trip had been in vain.
âBradley, Liliane isnât just anyone. She is my daughter and the biological mother of your son. You canât ââ
Bradley coldly interrupted him, his tone indifferent and confident, âFelix carries the Warner surname. Do you think you can win a custody battle against me?â
âYouâ¦â
Billy knew they had no chance of winning.
The legal department of the Warner Group had never failed. Even when Esther didnât plead guilty back then, Bradley still had the legal department send her to prison for five years. A mere custody battle was a plece of cake for the Warner Groupâs legal department âGet lost,â Bradley uttered coldly, Billy stumbled away from the private hospital under the Warner Group, his steps unsteady.
Sitting in his BMW, he trembled, covering his face with his hands. For a long, long time, he didnât dare to start the car.
From a moral standpoint, he knew his daughter was at fault for snatching Estherâs husband
