Clark handed Bradley the photo of Shane walking Liliane down the aisle during the wedding.
Clark said, “Based on our investigation, Shane and Leah used to be a couple back in college. They
broke up when Shane went abroad, and shortly after the breakup, Leah married Billy. It’s rumored that
Liliane’s premature birth was a result of the strained relationship between Leah and her mother–in–law.
“However, if Liliane was actually born full–term, then the so–called premature birth could be just an
excuse fabricated by Leah to deceive others, don’t you think?”
Kevin contemplated the implications of this revelation. If it turned out to be true, Billy would find himself
in a heartbreaking situation. To have raised a daughter for so many years, only to discover that she
was not his own….
“If Liliane is indeed the biological daughter of Shane and Leah, then everything starts to make sense.”

can solve many problems in this world, but only a father would risk losing his job to steal a child from
prison. No one else would go to such lengths.”
Clark swiped the tablet screen to reveal more evidence. “Today is Liliane’s wedding day, and it would
be logical for a father to be present. However, Billy conveniently developed severe diarrhea, and an
ambulance took him to the hospital. So, Shane took his place and walked Liliane down the aisle…”
Kevin examined the photos of Liliane, Billy, and Shane closely. To his surprise, the resemblance
between Shane and Liliane was striking, reaching about 70%. What could this mean?
It meant that Billy had been unknowingly raising a daughter who was not biologically related to him.
Bradley glanced at the photos, then turned and headed toward the bedroom. He called out to Esther,
“Esther, I’m taking you to the hospital now. I hope you’ll cooperate, but if you dare to make any move,
I’ll personally make sure you regret it.”
Bradley unlocked the chain on Esther’s wrist and firmly held her wrist as they made their way to the
hospital together.
Meanwhile, Leah and Liliane were taken into police custody for further investigation on charges of
fraud. Shane had arranged for Leah to stay behind while Liliane, who was seriously ill, received
outpatient treatment under his care.
Among the top cardiac surgeons, only Scott had the expertise to treat Liliane’s heart condition. Despite
working at the Warner Group’s private hospital, Shane ensured Liliane was admitted there.
Bradley and Esther arrived directly at the ward where Billy was staying.
Weak and frail, Billy lay on the hospital bed while a lawyer sat beside him, discussing strategies to
rescue Leah and Liliane.

Hilly greeted Bradley angrily. “What are you doing here? If it’s about the $15,000,000, I’ll gather the
sum for you even if it means losing everything! Please, I beg you, consider the fact that Liliane has
given birth to Felis for you. Show some mercy
“Felix’s biological mother is not Liliane,” Esther interjected coldly, lacking any emotional attachment to
Billy “It’s me
She had longed for fatherly love from Hilly, but all she had received was disappointment time and time
again
Upon hearing Esther’s words, Hilly immediately refuted, “Esther, I personally waited outside the
operating room when Liliane gave birth I saw Felix being carried out by the nurse. How can Felix be
your child? Don’t try to sow discord between Bradley and Liliane.”
