Bradley struggled to remember the time he had spent with Esther, but no matter how hard he tried, the memories eluded him.He couldn't recall the circumstances under which they had Tinkerbell and Pixie, and this lack of recollection frustrated him greatly.Feeling annoyed, he reached for a box of cigarettes and lit one, the flame dancing before him. He decided to call Cole and requested all the video material from a hotel five years ago."Cole, I need everything from that hotel five years back.""Yes, Mr. Warner.""Every single bit.""I understand."As he smoked stick after stick, the room filled with the pungent smell of cigarette smoke, though he barely noticed. He delved into his memories from five years ago, desperately searching for even the tiniest clue.Yet, it was all in vain. He couldn't remember being with Esther during that time.Only a heavy feeling in his head after his grandfather handed him a glass of wine and waking up next to Liliane remained in his mind. He w

Clark had collected the samples for Bradley and Felix's DNA paternity test and picked up the report from the hospital. He had kept the report in his safe until now.Liliane's mother had said that she would not allow Liliane to become an unmarried mother, since Bradley would not marry her. Liliane had rushed over on a rainy night and begged Bradley to return Felix to her so they would not be separated. She had passed out after that.From that day on, Bradley had silently acknowledged Liliane's presence in Felix's life.A DNA maternity test would be enough to prove whether Felix was Esther's son or not. However, even if Felix's birth was confirmed, how had Liliane taken Felix away from Esther back then?"Mr. Felix, don't tell anyone about this tonight," Clark said seriously, holding Felix's hand. "Especially not Liliane. Don't let her know that you know about your birth. If all this is true, that woman is terrifying."The woman had been planning this for five years. Every step had b

As soon as Bradley said those words, Liliane blushed. She moved closer to him, resting her forehead against his arm, overwhelmed with happiness."Brad, finally… Finally," Liliane sobbed softly. "I promise to be a good Mrs. Warner and never embarrass you."Five years of meticulous planning, enduring hardships, and persevering had led to this moment—all of it dissipated into nothing as she had now captured Bradley's heart. Her status had transformed from Felix's mother to Bradley's woman."You're more than fine," Bradley reassured her, recalling all the sacrifices Liliane had made for Felix over the past five years. He thought of the pressure she faced from her parents and the incomprehension from her relatives and friends."Liliane, you are Felix's mother. You don't need to compromise."As Bradley spoke, he noticed the hair whorl on Liliane's head, triggering a memory he had never witnessed before—it passed fleetingly like a shooting star.Soon, the elevator door opened. Bradley s

Leah's greatest resentment was still directed toward her father-in-law. He not only insulted her but also arranged a match between Bradley and Esther, the mistress' daughter."Yeah, the hospital doctors say she has no will to live!" Liliane's gaze mirrored Leah's viciousness. "The critical illness notice is out. She'll probably pass away in the next two days!"Leah gently stroked Liliane's hair and spoke seriously after calming down. "Liliane, what matters most now is you. You and Bradley should have your own child soon."Liliane fell silent. She understood the importance and desired a child of her own, but she couldn't conceive. Unless she found a surrogate mother."Mom, can we discuss it with him next time you meet?"Liliane inwardly sneered. Esther had benefited from a similar situation five years ago, but this time, Liliane was determined to ensure nothing went wrong."By the time you have your own kid, that woman's illegitimate son can die…" Leah coldly reminded Liliane, "He

Even then, Leah had a thousand ways to kill Billy. She just could not let her own daughter hate her."I'll wait for the result of the DNA paternity test you do then."Liliane was delighted and quickly said, "I'll go get it done at the hospital tomorrow.""Oh, right, didn't you say that Esther's dying? Do you want to try her heart?""Mom, you mean…"Liliane could not be too emotional due to her heart problem. The biggest issue with that was, of course, the inability to have children."I hope my daughter has a healthy heart.""Okay, I'll go ask the doctor tomorrow…"Leah stopped Liliane as soon as she said that. "Liliane, I'll handle this. Don't get involved. If it gets exposed one day, you can stay out.""Mom, you're too good to me."Liliane hugged Leah tightly, and the latter swiped a finger across the tip of Liliane's nose, saying jealously, "I'm so good to you, but you still think of that jerk of a man?""Aww, Mom, that's my dad!""And I'm your mother!""My mom's the bes
