Chapter 97
Norah thought, ‘No way I can’t admit it. Her fingers fidgeted nervously, her eyes darting as she scrambled for an excuse. Her face went stiff as she said, “Samuel, 1 didn’t do it. You have to believe me?
Samuel’s voice was ice–cold, his anger barely contained as he shouted, “North, do you think I’m an idiot! Would I be confronting you if I didn’t have solid proof” With that, he pulled up the surveillance footage on his phone.
Charles and Raymond immediately crowded around to watch.
The video clearly showed Noral sneaking into the kitchen, slipping something into the soup, and then sneaking out just as quietly.
Norah thought, Impossible. I have already had that footage deleted. How could he have that?‘ She collapsed to the floor, her face ashen
Samuel’s expression was stone cold as he tossed the phone in front of Norah. He said. “I had a hacker recover it. Norah, you thought you could outsmart me with such a cheap trick?”
Norah dropped the act and suddenly laughed. She thought. Since he already knew, there is no point pretending anymore. After all these years, I am sick of putting on a show.
She said. “Yeah, it was me. So what? The Spence Group is gone, Samuel. You’re broke. Do you think I’m still afraid of you!
Samuel, without the Spence family, you’re nothing. Stop acting like you’re still the head of the family. Wake up already.” There was a her voice.

Samuel stared at Norah like she was a stranger. He spat, “You’re insane. His eyes darkened as he demanded coldly. “Why did you do it?
Norah let out a cold laugh. She said. “Why? That old man held all the company shares and refused to hand over any power. Stella is his granddaughter, but she couldn’t get a single share from him..
“If he wouldn’t give them up, I’d just take them myself. I just never thought you, you idiot, would ruin the Spence family and waste all my careful planning. It’s all your fault, you fool!”
Norah’s laughter faded. She slumped weakly onto the sofa. Glaring at Samuel, hatred burned in her eyes.
Looking at Norah, Samuel felt disgusted. He thought. All these years, I have been sleeping ne
next to a monster.
Just thinking of Jonas made his jaw clench in anger. He said, “You vicious woman. Rot in prison for the rest of your life.” With that, he pulled out his phone to call the police.
Stella suddenly rushed over and grabbed Samuel’s arm. She looked up at him with pleading eyes. She pleaded, “Dad, please, don’t call the police. I don’t want Mom to go to jail-
Stella Inew perfectly well that everything Norah had just said was just to show Samuel that Stella was not related.
Samuel stared at Stella in disbelief as she begged for Norah. His face darkened, and he said seriously. “Stella, do you understand? Your mom is the reason your grandpa is dying. He might only have a few months left”
At the mention of Jonas, all the strength seemed to drain out of Samuel, and a
d a wave of sorrow flickered in his eyes. He looked completely defeated.
Stella was scared, but she still forced herself to speak up for Norah. “But Dad, I don’t want to lose Mom”
Samuel went silent, staring intently at Stella. He wanted to say that he didn’t want to lose his father, either. But thinking of Jonas filled him with grief. In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words.
Samuel was still a son, and the thought of losing his father was a crushing blow. But no one in the family seemed to understand him. In that moment, a wave of overwhelming sadness washed over Samuel, making it hard for hun to even breathe.
Just then, Haymond said, “Dad, Norah just made a mistake. Please, forgive her this once. Stella’s still so little, she really can’t lose her mom.”
Charles pressed his lips together. He glanced at Stella and said to Samuel. “Dad. I know Norah messed up, but she’s still Stella’s mom. Can’t you let it go this tune-
“And besides, Norali’s been taking care of this family all these years. Even if she hasn’t done anything big, she’s worked hard for us
Samuel glared at the two brothers, his eyes cold and sharp as knives. He could hardly believe what he was hearing. He thought, ‘A mistake? Forgive her? Since when did trying to kill someone become just a mistake one could forgive?”
Seeing that Samuel remained silent, Charles thought he was still thinking it over and kept trying to persuade him. He said, “Dad, Norah is…”

But before Charles could finish, Samuel suddenly swung and punched him hard in the face,

Before Charles could react, Samuel grabbed him by the collar and slammed him : you and your useless brother into this house. I raised two ungrateful wolves”

After that, Samuel looked over at Stella, who was curled up on the soda. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Stella, do you want to beg for this vicious woman“” There was a flicker of hope in his eyes.
