Liliane could not help looking at her father on the surveillance camera screen in shock when she heard what Leah said. She pleaded, âMom, heâs my father.â
âLiliane, he stopped being my husband the moment he betrayed me.â Leah turned off the tabletâs surveillance screen and seriously told Liliane, âThe men who betray me are like bills stained with sh t.
You can still use it, but itâs disgusting! If it werenât for your parentsâ divorce affecting your marriage, I wouldâve stopped tolerating it long ago.â
Liliane knew her mother was ruthless but did not expect her mother to want to kill her own father.
âMom, if you donât want to see Dad, you can divorce himâ¦â
Leah interrupted Liliane and said coldly, âLiliane, believe it or not, if I divorce him, with his character, heâll have an illegitimate child within a year, and that child will be splitting assets with you! Do you want a halfâsibling with the same father but a different mother?â
Liliane shook her head subconsciously.
âSo, never be soft on your enemies, Liliane.â Leah reached out and held her daughterâs hand, gently brushing her hair away from her forehead. âLiliane, if it werenât for that illegitimate daughter Esther, our family would still be as happy as before.â
Liliane could not help but think of Estherâs blood type. She remembered that Estherâs blood type was O, while her fatherâs blood type was B.
âMom, do you know what blood type the woman named Faye has?â asked Liliane.
Leahâs tone was unfriendly. âWhy do you ask?â
âMom, Esther is type O, and my dad is type B. Do you think Esther might not be his daughterâ¦â Liliane thought of the past few years during which her father and Esther interacted â they were not close like regular father and daughter.
She said, âI remember you investigated Fayeâs information back then. Can you show me?â
Leah had always loved her daughter and knew that Liliane could not accept anything happening to her father. For her, Billy was a scum who had betrayed her, but for Liliane, the man was her father. â
Hold on.â
Leah walked to the safe, entered the password, and opened it. She took out a folder from the bottom of the safe. The contents of the folder were information about Faye. Liliane saw Fayeâs blood type at a glance.
âFaye Quill, blood type AB,â Liliane said in shock, hesitantly asking. âMom, according to the principles of genetic inheritance, people with blood types AB and B cannot have children with blood type O, right?â
Leah took the information from Liliane and looked at it. Fayeâs blood type was indeed AB, while Billyâs blood type was B.
âPerhaps Esther is the child of Faye and another man.â
Leah became even angrier at the thought of it. She had never imagined that Billy would be such a foolishly infatuated man.
âMom, weâll know if Esther is my fatherâs daughter by doing a DNA paternity test. Did you never do a DNA paternity test back then?â Liliane asked, still confused.
âNo,â replied Leah.
Back then, she had been so furious when Billy brought back a daughter that she went straight to her motherâs home. Later, the father of her supposed husband spoke up, saying that they would raise.
Esther and never allow her to appear in front of Leah. After weighing everything, Leah had agreed to continue living with Billy.
âMom, give my father a chance, please?â Liliane did not want her mother to kill her own father. âIf the DNA test shows that heâs not Estherâs biological father, then it means he did not betray youâ¦â
Leah was firm in her attitude. âLiliane, both physical and emotional betrayals are betrayals.â
âMom, I know, but I want to know the answer. What if my father never had another woman besides.
you?â Liliane pleaded, âRegardless of your decision, please wait until we do the DNA paternity test, okay?â
Faced with her daughterâs plea, Leah caved.
