Richard stepped into the bright dining room wearing his sharp navy blue wedding suit.
He walked fast with an intense expression on his face as he saw the scene before him.
Groom: What is going on in here right now?
Bride: This cheap maid was trying to scare our daughter, Richard!
Bride: She was grabbing Lily and making her cry in the middle of the afternoon!
Lily shook her head wildly and held onto Clara's hand as hard as she could.
Child: No daddy, she did not scare me! She feels like home!
Richard stopped walking and looked down at the maid sitting on the polished marble floor.
Clara pushed her messy hair back and looked up into the billionaire's eyes with tears running down.
Richard gasped loudly as he saw her facial features clearly under the bright room lights.
He dropped to his knees right beside Clara, completely ignoring his bride standing nearby.
Groom: Clara? Is that really you?
Maid: Richard? I do not understand what is happening here.
Victoria stepped forward quickly, her high heels tapping nervously against the smooth white floor.
Bride: Richard, get up off the floor! She is just hired help from the agency!
Richard ignored Victoria entirely and kept his eyes fixed on Clara's wet face.
Five years ago, before Richard inherited his massive fortune, he lived in a small town.
He had a quiet romance with Clara before his wealthy family forcibly pulled him away overseas.
When he returned, his father told him Clara had moved away and cut off all contact.
Richard was heartbroken and eventually met Victoria, who claimed she was raising his late cousin's child.
Victoria had adopted Lily legally and claimed the biological mother had passed away during birth.
Richard reached out a shaking hand and touched the edge of Clara's uniform sleeve.
Groom: Did you ever have a child five years ago, Clara?
Maid: Yes... I had a baby girl in Texas, but the nurse said she died.
Maid: They never even let me hold her in my arms.
Richard turned his head slowly toward Victoria, his jaw tight with growing fury.
Groom: Victoria, where did you really get Lily from five years ago?
Bride: I told you, I got her through a private adoption agency legally!
Groom: Show me the original medical records right now.
Victoria stepped back nervously and clutched her expensive purse tightly against her waist.
