Chapter 414 Response
Charles succeeded in putting himself on the moral high ground.
But the reporters didn't give up easily. "What about the rumored relationship between Edward and Nancy?"
It was one of the issues that caught everyone's attention.
And it was also something Edward and Charles wanted to clarify.
"Now that Edward is here, I think he could answer your question." With a bright smile, he turned to Edward. "Right, Edward?
"Of course." Although he felt a little awkward, Edward stood up and faced the crowd.
The reporters held their breath.
They had been waiting for anyone of them to clarify this issue, but nobody spoke.
That was why they were all eager to hear Edward's answer.
In addition to that, the unilaterally news from Derrick made people think that he was indeed stirring up trouble.
And Charles' silence aroused the public's interest.
So how could everyone not look forward to it?
All the reporters present stared at Edward with burning eyes.
"I know you are all curious about the relationship between me and Nancy. The reason why I didn't say anything about this before is because, I thought it was a private matter and not everyone should know
about it. I've expected that the rumor would soon die down, but it seems like it got even bigger. Now, it seems like I have to force myself to respond."
"Excuse me, Mr. Wu, do you like Miss Ning?" one of the reporters asked out of curiosity.
With a small smile, Edward replied indifferently, "Yes."
His answer made the reporters sigh.
They all looked back at Charles, checking if there was a hint of anger in his face.
In their minds, they thought, Charles was such a strong and domineering man. How could he allow other men to covet his woman? NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Or did Edward really have an affair with Nancy?
This speculation made the reporters excited again.
However, Charles remained calm.
"I do like Nancy, and I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. But she doesn't know." A faint smile appeared on Edwards face.
"Then, how did you get the marriage registration?" one of the reporters asked again.
"That's a good question. If a man likes a woman, he naturally wants her to stay with him for a lifetime. I'm no exception, so I secretly registered marriage with her, hoping to get her." Edward said with self- mockery, "But later, I realized that love never comes by force. I confessed my love to Nancy, but unfortunately, she didn't like me at all. As you have seen, she left me alone and returned home. When I came back, I found out she already have someone who loves her more than I do. That's the man sitting next to me now, Charles."
The journalists snickered.
Frowning, a reporter asked, "Mr. Wu, do you mean that you give up? Are you sure?"
Edward shrugged. "To be honest, I was reluctant at first. But Nancy likes Charles, and they already have children. Now, I have become an outsider."
Edward pretended to be disappointed.
Well, it couldn't be said that he pretended to be disappointed, because to be honest, he really was.
The woman he had loved and treasured for so many years had been taken away by someone else, but he was indifferent. Was it possible?
However, that pain belonged to him alone.
The others were just gloating.
"It sounds a little pathetic." The reporters began to laugh.
"It has been said that love is selfish. I agree with that. However, the highest level of love is to hope that the person I love can live a better life, isn't it? If Nancy is happy with Charles, I should let them be, right? If you still don't believe me, you can think about it in another position. What would you do if it were you? Ruin it? Or give your blessing?" The conversation between Edward and the journalists was more casual than they had with Charles.
People naturally had different perspectives, so they had different opinions as well.
"I, of course, will choose to give them my blessing," a reporter echoed.
One of the reporters asked, "Mr. Wu, do you mean that you have given up on Nancy? And the kids are Mr. Fu's, right?"
The room quieted down again.
"I also hope the children could be mine, but Nancy didn't give me a chance. You can observe. Do Bobby and Nadia look like Charles?" There was a hint of envy in Edward's voice. "To be honest, sometimes I'm really jealous when I see Nadia and Bobby's little faces. Why do they look so much like Charles? Otherwise, I can take the opportunity to stir up trouble and make him jealous. But there's an old saying that blood is thicker than water. It can't be changed. Alas, even if I am very jealous, there's nothing I can do about it," he joked.
He had observed Nadia and Bobby more than once. From the appearance, Edward had confirmed the relationship between Charles and Nadia.
That was why he decided to quit.
Charles was the children's father, and he was nice to Nancy. They were actually a happy family.
"It's true. According to what Mr. Wu said, I think Nadia really looks a lot like Bobby."
Out of curiosity, a reporter raised his hand. "Mr. Fu, are Bobby and Nadia twins?"
Without hesitation, Charles answered, "Yes."
Everyone fell silent for a while.
They were waiting for Charles' explanation.
Charles didn't want to hide anything from the reporters either. It was better to tell the truth.
"Six years ago, on my grandfather's birthday, he said that the one who had the descendant of the Fu family first would inherit the TS Group." After a pause, he continued, "As you can see, I first had Bobby.
At that time, rumors about Bobby's origin spread on the Internet, but I was afraid that it would affect the growth of the child, so I suppressed it one by one. Some of you should know about it."
The crowd sighed again. They certainly remembered the fight in the Fu family a few years ago. At that time, the business leaders were all watching, but no one dared to jump to a conclusion.
Most people thought that Derrick and Joseph would inherit the TS Group, but to everyone's surprise, it fell directly into Charles' hands.
Later, it was said that Charles had a child, Bobby. People had guessed about his mother, but they didn't get anything.
"So, Bobby's biological mother is Miss Ning?" someone said boldly.
"Yes, Nadia and Bobby are both Nancy's." Finally, the reporters got the answer they wanted from Charles.
