Clara pulled the small crying girl into her arms and held her close.
The little girl wrapped her thin arms tightly around Clara's neck.
Clara wiped the dark dirt tears away from the child's small cheeks.
Richard stepped back and shook his head with a very dark frown.
Richard: You are lying just to save this dirty little beggar.
Clara: Look at her face, Richard. Look closely at her blue eyes.
Richard looked down at the child's small pale face for one short second.
His breath caught inside his throat as his face turned pale white.
The little girl shared the exact same clear eyes as his rich family.
Richard: That is impossible! The adoption center said she was gone!
Clara: You lied to me four long years ago, Richard!
The crowd started murmuring loudly as people took out their phones.
Four years ago Clara worked as a simple low paid house maid.
She had a deep romance with Richard before he became super rich.
When Clara got pregnant, Richard's wealthy parents stepped in right away.
They paid money to make Clara leave the city without saying anything.
They told Richard that the unborn child did not survive the birth.
They told Clara that her baby girl had passed away at birth.
Clara: I spent years crying over a baby who was still alive!
Richard: My parents handled that matter to protect our family name.
Clara: Your parents hid my sweet child away in a dark place!
The small girl buried her face deep into Clara's silk green dress.
Little Girl: Mommy, the bad man yelled at me today.
Clara: He will never hurt you again, my sweet lily.
Clara stood up straight while holding her daughter very tight.
She turned her head to face all the wealthy news reporters in front.
Clara: Look at the man who is trying to join your board!
Richard: Turn off those recording cameras right now!
The reporters kept taking fast pictures of Richard's pale terrified face.
The rich bride walked down the aisle with pure anger in her eyes.
Bride: Is this terrible story true, Richard?
Richard: It was all my parents' idea, I swear!
Bride: This wedding is completely over right now!
