The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 50

Chapter 50: Investigating

"The book? Isn't his company cooperating with her? How is thus odd?"

"He started making payments a year and a half ago. The first payment being the largest," Neil elaborated.

"So, the book Autumn's Snow might be commissioned by him?" Daniel said with a slight

frown.

"If that is true, this man is much more complicated in thought than that," Neil said in

amusement.

"He commissioned a book with characters inspired by my wife?" Daniel asked.

"That is very suspicious. I check up on their history. Your wife and that man definitely knew each other at the university.

But from what I hear, they were acquaintances, at most slightly friendly. It is odd for him to do this. People do think that your wife's art is the inspiration for some scenes, but the author has not commented on this."

"She has; Stanley Forest told me this himself," Daniel said, and Neil raised a brow, taking a sip of his cola on the screen.

Daniel was having a headache. He had only had a bad feeling about Stanley and was slightly jealous of how close he was to Anya and wanted to know who he was.

He admits he barely trusts anyone and did not trust anyone near his Anya, especially in a business where things are put in black and white. He wanted to protect her from the shadows, not that she could not stand him. But why does everything look messy? He felt as though he had walked into a well-curated plot. He did not like being tested. His mood was somber; a hint of danger leaked from him,

suffocating the room.

"If she has said this to him, it means she must have said it to others in private. If these words. were passed around, it would explain why people suddenly feel Anya's work bears resemblance to art in the book," Daniel said.

"You have a point; after all, how do you write words to describe art and people will immediately resonate with the one in your head? Sounds too fake to me."
