Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

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.

“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.
