Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 217

Before she could leave, Samuel came in.

Maddie stood still and looked at Samuel before looking at Amelia with a gloomy expression.

“You heard everything!” Her tone was firm.

Samuel closed the door and pulled a chair to sit down. He looked up at Maddie. “Olivia is also my daughter. I don’t want this to happen.”

Speaking of his daughter, Maddie didn’t understand.

“Olivia is your biological daughter while Emma is just your adopted child. Why are you so indifferent to Olivia and dote on Emma instead?”

This didn’t make sense.

Under normal circumstances, the relationship between father and daughter would not be too close because a distinction should be made between males and females.

Especially since Emma was even an adopted daughter, it made Maddie even more difficult to understand their relationship.

Samuel’s back stiffened. He glanced at Amelia and pretended to be calm. “Back then, Amelia’s mental state was not good and she lost her mind. If it weren’t for Emma, Amelia wouldn’t be where she is today.

“Even if Emma isn’t my biological daughter, she’s still Amelia’s

benefactor. She was the one who healed Amelia with her love. Moreover, we’ve been living together for 19 years. These feelings are real.”

Samuel was affectionate.

Amelia couldn’t help but recall.

Maddie fell silent.

Seeing this, Samuel said even more affectionately, “If it weren’t for Emma, Amelia wouldn’t be where she is today. She was the one who cured Amelia. If Olivia had a conscience and was filial to Amelia, she wouldn’t be so ungrateful and hurt Emma, who was indebted to Amelia.”

That didn’t sound right.

What Samuel said could move Amelia, but it could not confuse Maddie.

She was smart as a powerful woman in the business field.

She tapped her fingertips on the table and said, “Speaking of gratitude,

the Taylor family should be Emma’s benefactor. She was just a little girl from an orphanage. It’s all thanks to the Taylor family that she was able to be adopted by the Taylor family and become Evervale’s top socialite.” Maddie raised her eyebrows. “Besides, you were the one who lost Olivia back then. You should be the ones owing Olivia. How is it that she owes you?”

Maddie’s words were sharp and hit the nail on the head. “What era are we in now? There’s no such thing as children must be owing their parents. You guys had sex for your own pleasure, and having kids is just a derivative. I address you as my brother–in–law out of respect and for the sake of my sister. But you weren’t the one who was pregnant with Olivia. What right do you have to criticize Olivia’s life?

“You were the one who lost Olivia and caused Amelia to lose her mind. This is all your fault. You owe her. Even if Emma cured Amelia, it was still a favor to you. Why should Olivia repay the kindness for you?” “Maddie!” Amelia shouted to stop Madde. Her face turned red. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Maddie looked at Amelia and tried her best to suppress her anger.
