Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 162 The Snake Beside Him
Blythe’s hands would not stop shaking.She stared at Samuel with tears running down her face.“No. I did none of this.”“Sir, how could I?”“We have spent so many years together. We survived so much side by side. Do you not know what kind of person I am?”Her voice broke.“I have devoted myself to faith for years. How could I ever do such things?”Even with the evidence laid out before her, she still refused to admit anything.Melissa had served Blythe for decades.Now, with nowhere left to retreat, she threw herself forward to shield her.“Sir, punish me.”“I did everything.”“Madam Blythe knew nothing.”Samuel’s anger rose at once.Melissa might have confessed, but he was not blind.She had never possessed enough power to arrange all of this on her own.Had the person be

The man raised one shaking hand and pointed at Melissa.“It was her.”“She sent us.”Every head in the room turned.Melissa’s face changed at once.“No.”She shook her head.“He is lying.”Then she looked toward Calder.“Mr. Rook, do not believe him. He knows he is finished, so he is dragging down anyone he can.”Blythe forced herself to remain composed.“Calder, Melissa would never do such a thing.”“I know her character.”“This man is facing death and throwing accusations at the innocent.”“Is that so?”Calder’s eyes moved to Melissa.“Out of everyone here, why did he point to you?”Her knees gave way.Melissa dropped to the floor.“Mr. Rook. Sir Samuel.”She clasped her hands together.“I have served the Rook family faithfully. I have never betrayed this family.”“Please believe me.”Nola stepped forward.“Si

Norchester’s performance ended to a hall full of applause.Whatever history lay between the two older men, no one could deny what they had just heard. An internationally renowned musician had performed before them, and the audience responded with genuine admiration.The entire banquet had been built around Samuel.Once Norchester finished, Samuel deliberately had him seated in a distant corner of the hall.It was not a serious inconvenience.The insult was unmistakable.Norchester endured it without a word.By the time the celebration finally ended, the guests had begun leaving in groups.Soon, only members of the Rook family remained, along with Nola, Wanda, and Norchester.Samuel looked across the room and laughed with open satisfaction.“This may be the most meaningful birthday I have ever had.”He slapped one hand against his thigh.“What a wonderful evening.”

The driver noticed first.“Sir, two black cars have been behind us for a while.”Nola turned to look through the rear window.He was right.“They are following us.”Norchester did not so much as shift in his seat.“Lose them.”Part of him wondered whether Samuel had arranged this.Invite him to the birthday banquet in public, then have him killed on the road?
Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 158 Their Only Chance
Nola and Norchester had kept up the act for nearly a week.By then, even Norchester had begun to wonder whether her plan was going anywhere.They were discussing whether to try something else when a Rook family car finally arrived.Quill had come in person.“Miss Nola, Sir Samuel would like to see you. Please come with me.”That alone told her how impatient Samuel had become.Nola lifted her chin.“What does he want?”“I still need to see my teacher. The music festival is coming up, and I will be performing with him. We have rehearsals.”She made sure to sound reluctant.“It will not take long,” Quill promised. “I will bring you back afterward.”Then he lowered his voice.“Please. If you refuse, I will have a difficult time explaining it when I return.”Nola rubbed her chin as though giving the matter serious thought

The next morning, a newspaper lay beside Samuel’s breakfast.He followed the same routine every day. Eat, drink tea, read the headlines.Then he saw Norchester’s name.Samuel read the article once.Then again.By the third time, there was no room left for doubt.That old bastard had returned.He still dared to come back to Cathay?Samuel had driven him out decades ago and warned him never to set foot in the country again.Had he forgotten?The newspaper struck the table with a loud thud.Samuel clenched his jaw, anger rising through his chest.Quill glanced over.“Sir, are you all right?”“Read this.”Samuel threw the paper at him.One look was enough.Quill knew the history better than almost anyone.Decades earlier, Samuel and Norchester had nearly destroyed each other over Willa.Samuel had won her hand thro
