Chapter 275
Back in university, among all the men who pursued her, Leah couldn’t help but wonder why she had chosen the seemingly useless Billy Anstey. Perhaps it was solely because his family had some assets, and she had tricked him into falling for her.
Over the years, while Leah observed the other men thriving in their careers, Billy struggled to maintain Anstey Group and lacked the courage to expand its business territory.
“Leah, were you playing me from the beginning?” Billy asked indignantly.
With her hands handcuffed, Leah disdainfully brushed aside the hair on her forehead and replied softly, “Yes, nothing happened between us that night.”
Billy’s pale face, already drained due to his diarrhea, turned even paler as he murmured in disbelief, “Why me?”
“Because you’re a fool with money!” Leah boldly revealed her true intentions to Billy.
“I really didn’t expect you to be this stupid! Look at yourself. How could such a naive son come from clever parents like yours?” Leah’s expression was full of contempt as she fearlessly continued. “Liliane doesn’t know her true identity yet. If you keep it hidden, you still have a daughter. But if you reveal the truth about her identity, you will have nothing!”
Enraged, Billy pounded the table and shouted, “I’ve raised your daughter with Shane for over 20 years. Why do I still have to be a saintly father?”
“Anstey, you can go and tell Liliane now,” Leah arrogantly declared, as if she had complete. control of the situation. “But let me tell you a fact. The moment Liliane learns about her true identity, there will be no more Anstey Group in this world.”
Confused, Billy furrowed his brow and asked, “What do you mean?”
“You
gave the Anstey Group to Liliane as her wedding gift.” Leah smiled charmingly and slowly revealed, “I wonder if that illegitimate daughter of yours will take care of you when you have nothing.”
At that moment, Billy remembered Leah had been constantly nagging him about the Warner family’s vast wealth and business empire before Liliane’s wedding. She had easily persuaded him to transfer all his assets to Liliane’s name.
“Leah, I transferred my assets to Liliane on the condition that she’s my daughter. Since she’s not, then I have every right to take back everything. I’m not locked up here like you, and Liliane is sick. I have plenty of time to deal with both of you. Moreover, I’ll turn your story into a TV drama and movie for everyone to watch for free. I’ll make you and your daughter infamous!”
Leah couldn’t believe that Billy, who had always been an honest person, would show such determination. She angrily pointed at him and exclaimed, “How dare you!?”
