Chapter 327
“Mr. Quill, I’m not familiar with Faye.” Billy coughed lightly and explained in a gentle tone, “I 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.” “Please provide all the details of when she entrusted Esther to you,” Oliver requested.
Billy had assumed that Faye had no other relatives, which was why she had entrusted Esther to him. However, Oliver’s presence challenged his previous assumption.
“After I received her call, I went to the hospital and saw her in the hospital room…”
After listening to Billy’s account in its entirety, Oliver felt a sense of dissonance in every aspect. If Faye truly wanted to ensure Esther’s safety, she could have entrusted her to the Quills. Regardless of Esther’s biological father, as long as she returned to the Quills, she could have grown up safe and sound.
However, according to Oliver’s 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?
“So, because of your foolish decision, my sister became a mistress? And my niece was labeled. an illegitimate child?”
Embarrassed, Billy rubbed his nose and hesitantly said, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I thought it would be better for Esther’s upbringing to say that.”
“You idiot!” 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.
“Why did Esther marry Bradley?” Oliver asked.
Billy coughed lightly and said, “It seems Esther has always had feelings for Bradley. However, Bradley didn’t feel the same way. Oh, it’s worth mentioning that Bradley’s grandfather arranged Esther and Bradley’s wedding.”
“Did my sister reveal the identity of Esther’s biological father?”
“No.” Billy shook his head.
Oliver massaged his temples with a hint of frustration. “Contact me if you remember anything.
“Sure.”
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 hadn’t 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.
