Chapter 723
Oliver and Agatha stood outside the ICU. Oliver didn't immediately doubt what Agatha had just
revealed in front of Bradley.
"Oliver, you might be wondering if this is true," Agatha said, her gaze fixed on Esther, who had narrowly
escaped death. She took a deep breath, her eyes showing pain, and said, "I wish I could say that what
I just mentioned was just a scare tactic to frighten Bradley, but... all of it is true."
Oliver's expression darkened. He took a seat across from Agatha and confessed, "I blame myself for
not protecting Esther. I..."
"It's not your fault." Agatha understood that even though there was evidence against the Pendletons,
the timing was crucial. When Bradley kidnapped Esther, everyone in the Quills had been preoccupied
and couldn't look after her.
"It's Esther's destiny."
Every person had their own destiny. This was Esther's destiny. Or perhaps it was her choice.
"Dr. Foster, I entrust Esther to you," Oliver said helplessly. "I didn't know who Esther's father was."
Agatha raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Didn't you all believe that Esther was your sister's
child?"
Oliver shook his head slightly and admitted with a pained voice, "In my memory, my sister was never
married and was never pregnant. I—"
Agatha interjected, "Is it possible that your sister had a child, but you weren't aware of it?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"It's a possibility." Oliver pondered for a moment, then continued cautiously. "Dr. Foster, please help me
and Esther with a DNA test."
Seeing Oliver propose a DNA test at that moment, Agatha couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought of
something?"
"Yes." Oliver handed a photo to Agatha.
Agatha studied the man in the photo and felt a sense of familiarity. "Who is this?"
Oliver sat down and glanced at Esther in the ICU. "While dealing with the Pendletons' issues, Richard
confessed to the biggest drug trafficking case he'd ever handled. An undercover DEA agent was
involved, and the man in the photo is that agent."
Agatha's curiosity was piqued. "What's his connection to Esther?"
Oliver passed another photo to Agatha, showing Faye standing alongside the same man.
"What does this mean?"
Oliver's heart raced. "This man's family of three was killed in a fire that was believed to be an act of
revenge by the drug traffickers."
Agatha stared at the man beside Faye, noticing his handsome features and an aura of righteousness. It
was no wonder Faye had fallen for him—he was undeniably attractive.
"So, you suspect..."
Oliver stated with conviction, "Billy claimed that Faye entrusted Esther to him. I've figured out why my
sister might have done so. Perhaps Faye had already suspected a vast network of connections behind
the drug traffickers.
"She wasn't sure who was facilitating the drug trafficking, but her willingness to entrust Esther to Billy
suggests she may have suspected someone in Capitus. The truth of what happened back then needs a
thorough investigation."
"Are you suggesting we do a DNA test now to confirm if Esther is indeed Faye's child?"
