Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 572 I Won’t Wrong You

What kind of biological father is he if he doesn't even bother to raise his own child? Based on what

Helia had previously told her, Elspeth had already formed a negative opinion of the man in front of her.

"Although you and I share a blood relationship, I don't think our lives must intersect." Despite knowing

where she is, he hasn't been interested in finding my mom despite knowing where she is, in over 20

years. I do not wish to recognize such a callous man as my father.

Sensing her distant tone, Welson felt a tinge of bitterness in his heart. "Elspeth, I know you blame me

for not looking for your mother."

"Mr. Harley, you must be joking," she said, a faint smile on her face. "Your choices are yours, and I

certainly can't interfere."

"I—"

"If nothing else, I hope Mr. Harley can allow me to return."

His face immediately became unpleasant. "What, being with me makes you that uncomfortable?" He

never expected his long-awaited daughter to show disgust even after meeting him.

Elspeth felt she would be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed. "It's not really that. However, what I

truly wish for, Mr. Harley is that you seriously consider whether or not it is necessary to acknowledge

that I am your daughter." Her words served as a reminder to him.

The Harley Family was thriving, and the sudden emergence of an illegitimate daughter would

undoubtedly impact the family's estate and business. Moreover, their competitors would make a fuss

about the matter. Nevertheless, she had no desire to be exposed to the public as an illegitimate

daughter.

"I don't care, and—" Welson was about to continue but was interrupted.

"Still, I care; I care a lot about this." Her gaze was piercing. "If we're to acknowledge each other, I'd

rather not do it as an illegitimate daughter." She had her pride and didn't want to lose her reputation or

be criticized by others.

Then, he looked at her stubbornness and felt that he should have been angry, but he felt a sudden

sense of relief instead. She is undeniably my daughter because she shares my personality traits.

"Alright, alright. Since that's the case, can you tell me where your mother is?" he asked with a smile.

"I'm willing to marry her legally and welcome you back to the Harley Family in a grand manner."

However, Elspeth didn't expect Welson to make such a significant concession.

However, Elspeth didn't expect Welson to make such a significant concession.

Meanwhile, Yozan was also shocked after hearing that. He looked up and unexpectedly met Welson's

loving gaze.

Still, she couldn't decide for her mother, so she hesitated and said, "I'll go back and ask her for her

opinion first."

Knowing that the matter couldn't be rushed, Welson nodded. "Alright then, I'll have someone send you

back." As he spoke, his tone was gentle like a kind father, but after he finished, he glared fiercely at

Yozan, who had been silent on the side. "Get down on your knees!"

Yozan was taken aback and fell to his knees.

The butler was already standing by Elspeth's side, smiling as he escorted her away. Then, she looked

deeply at Yozan, kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What did he do wrong?"

Welson sneered, "After discovering your identity, he concealed it and didn't report it. I've raised him for

20 years and look at what he did!"

"I was the one who asked him to conceal my identity." Her gaze was cold and made people shiver. She

had a hunch that things were tough for Yozan in the Harley Family, but she had no idea that things

were that severe. In addition, she couldn't help but wonder how Welson perceived Yozan.

However, Welson didn't care and said coldly, "I raised him for so many years, hoping he could

contribute to the family business. I never expected him to be so useless that he couldn't handle such a

small matter."

Elspeth opened her mouth to defend Yozan, but Welson clearly didn't care about Yozan at all. To

outsiders, Yozan was the prestigious son of the Harley Family. Still, only he knew the bitterness of living

in the family. He was only a pawn for his father. Looking over at Elspeth, the contrast was stark, and his

pent-up anger bubbled to the surface. "Do I really mean nothing to you in your heart?" Yozan asked.

It was a question that Welson never expected. He has never disobeyed me; I have always made sure

to give him the best of everything. Nonetheless, I never anticipated that he would continue to be

discontent. "Yozan, don't forget how your mother tried to seduce me in the first place," Welson said.

Each word made Yozan's face turn a shade paler.

"You're merely the son of a promiscuous woman, so what right do you have to talk here?"

Elspeth herself couldn't bear to hear that, let alone that Yozan was genuinely hurt by those words. "Mr.

Harley, I think what you're saying is a bit too—" She was about to say something when she noticed

Yozan standing up.

Yozan was incredibly furious as he said, " I am nothing but a shameful person in your eyes and the son

of a promiscuous woman. What about Elspeth? When you had sex with her mother, wasn't her mother

unconscious? You took her mother directly back to your villa and violated her. Are you any better?" He

exposed the truth about what happened years ago without mercy toward Welson.

With a loud slap, Welson hit him hard. "You ungrateful b*stard! What are you blabbering about?"

Hearing that, she was equally shocked and speechless. Although she knew the truth was complicated,

she never expected it to be so shocking.

"Am I simply blabbering, though? Investigate, and you'll find out the truth anyway." Yozan wiped the

blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and laughed recklessly. "Oh, right.

Elspeth, aren't you good at hacking? The clues are already here. With careful investigation, nothing

can remain hidden."

Welson raised his hand again. "You scoundrel!"

However, the expected slap never came. Yozan opened his eyes and found that Elspeth had grabbed

Welson's wrist.

"Mr. Harley." The coldness in her voice sent chills down his spine as she looked into his eyes. "Are you

so angry at Yozan because he hit a nerve?"

The word 'nerve' caused a subtle change in Welson's expression. "Elspeth, let me explain. It's not what

you think."

Then, she let go of his wrist and took a few steps back. "Don't worry, Mr. Harley. I won't wrong you, but

I won't let you off the hook either."
