âMr. Quill, Iâm not familiar with Faye.â Billy coughed lightly and explained in a gentle tone, âI had a secret crush on her when I was young, but we lost contact after graduating from university. Then one day, she suddenly reached out to me and entrusted Esther to my care.â âPlease provide all the details of when she entrusted Esther to you,â Oliver requested.
Billy had assumed that Faye had no other relatives, which was why she had entrusted Esther to him.
However, Oliverâs presence challenged his previous assumption.
âAfter I received her call, I went to the hospital and saw her in the hospital roomâ¦â
After listening to Billyâs account in its entirety, Oliver felt a sense of dissonance in every aspect. If Faye truly wanted to ensure Estherâs safety, she could have entrusted her to the Quills. Regardless of Estherâs biological father, as long as she returned to the Quills, she could have grown up safe and sound.
However, according to Oliverâs knowledge, Esther had not been living well with the Ansteys and had even endured the burden of being labeled an illegitimate child for years. Why had Faye made such a decision?
âSo, because of your foolish decision, my sister became a mistress? And my niece was labeled. an illegitimate child?â
Embarrassed, Billy rubbed his nose and hesitantly said, âIâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. I thought it would be better for Estherâs upbringing to say that.â
âYou idiot!â Oliver finally understood why Leah had manipulated Billy so easily. He was incredibly foolish. He had intended to do something good but ended up doing something foolish.
âWhy did Esther marry Bradley?â Oliver asked.
Billy coughed lightly and said, âIt seems Esther has always had feelings for Bradley. However, Bradley didnât feel the same way. Oh, itâs worth mentioning that Bradleyâs grandfather arranged Esther and Bradleyâs wedding.â
âDid my sister reveal the identity of Estherâs biological father?â
âNo.â Billy shook his head.
Oliver massaged his temples with a hint of frustration. âContact me if you remember anything.
âSure.â
After Oliver showed Billy out, he quietly got up and left the room. Standing by the elevator, he looked at his reflection and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He wondered why Faye hadnât sent Esther back to the Quills.
Once Billy left, Oliver went to the terrace outside the presidential suite with a glass of wine. He lightly swirled the glass in his hand, and the amber liquid slid down the side.
During his flight there, he learned about how Bradley had mistreated Esther over the years. He looked up with a dark expression and emptied the glass before taking out his phone to make a call.
âItâs me. Teach the Warner Group a lesson.â
âYes, Mr. Quill.â
Bradley had intentionally caused harm to Esther, relying on the power of the Warner Group. Oliver wanted to show him that Esther wasnât a helpless orphan. She had someone supporting her as well.
Of course, he wouldnât force Bradley to bankruptcy. He would make Bradley pay for every single thing he had done to Esther.
Suddenly, Oliverâs phone rang.
