Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love -
Chapter 361 The Press Conference
Nancy glanced at Charles nervously.
She couldn't figure out what could have happened.
How come so many unexpected things happened all of a sudden one after another?
The call was from Frederic. He was anxiously saying, "Charles, come back immediately!"
"Why? What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"Just come back immediately. Don't waste any more time!" Frederic hurriedly cut off the phone call after instructing Charles to head back.
Following his instructions, Charles ran out of the room in a hurry.
Nancy ran after him and followed him closely.
Together, Charles and Nancy drove to the old mansion of the Fu family
When they arrived, the old mansion was brightly lit.
The two ran into the living room, and they were shocked by the scene before them.
There were many reporters standing in the hall, and among them was Derrick.
"Have Nancy and Edward really registered their marriage abroad?" Frederic enunciated word by word with emphasis.
"No!" Charles knew it was not possible to hide something like that. "Impossible!"
Before Charles could even finish his words, Frederic had already raised his hand and interrupted him brusquely, "How can you prove it otherwise? The shareholders and I also care about the truth. You can't marry a woman who is already married to another man, correct?"
"Grandpa, Edward is not here yet to clarify the matter. I will prove it is not true when he comes back..." Charles wanted to say something more, but stopped himself on second thought. Even he himself had no idea where Edward currently was.
So the most important thing to do for the meantime was to find Edward.
Derrick strode over arrogantly, emitting a cold meanness around him.
"Charles, don't argue for Nancy's sake anymore. She has already registered her marriage with Edward abroad. I guess you weren't even aware of it, were you? You shouldn't trust anyone other than your family!" said Derrick.
A touch of sadness flashed through Frederic's eyes, but it was very brief and lasted for a few seconds only. He quickly came to his senses and sneered, "Derrick, if anything really happened, we can talk about it amicably in private. Can you let the reporters leave now?"
Frederic asked solemnly, but to no avail. Derrick stood his ground, shook his head and sneered, "Dad, my good old dad, even now, you still only care about Charles. Well, my dear dad, you've already lived for too long..."
"Derrick, if you keep on talking nonsense, I will ask the bodyguards to throw you out. Do you want to test me? Hardy also came over and scolded him harshly.
"Well, brother, you really have been staying with dad for far too long, and even your tone has become so similar to his..." Derrick scorned in disdain, "Brother, you have been consistently ignoring me for the past several years. Now that I have finally come back, you still want to drive me away. Do you still consider me as your biological brother?"
Then he looked at Frederic with a malevolent snicker. "Dad, am I your biological son? I have asked myself many times if I was only adopted by you. Otherwise, why do you dislike me so much?"
"I just hoped that you two won't turn against each other because you are brothers. But now it seems that I have made a grave mistake!" Frederic shook his head sadly, "Derrick, no matter how much you hate me, I can only beg you to let the reporters leave. If there is anything you wish to discuss, we can talk it over peacefully in private!"
"Ha ha..." Derrick mocked wildly, "Ever since, you have only cared about Charles..."
As he finished speaking, he pushed Joseph in front of Frederic. "Tell me honestly, is my child your real grandson? Don't you think you've gone too far by giving him less shares?"
"Grandpa, I think my father has a point!" Joseph echoed with an evil smirk on his face.
"Grandpa, they are here just to cause trouble and sow discord among us!" Charles taunted them.
"Yes, they are here just to cause us trouble!" Frederic sighed, "When we split the properties, I did give Charles the right to inherit the group, but I didn't treat you shabbily either. I gave you enough funds to start up a new business. I heard that it's developing well now. You got everything you deserved. What else do you want now?"
"Who are you to say I have everything?" Derrick gritted his teeth and countered fiercely, "Everything we have now, I have earned through my own arduous efforts. It has nothing to do with you. How can you say I have everything?" "Then tell me. What exactly do you want now?" asked
Frederic in disgust.
"I want half of the total shares. Are you willing to give it to me or not?" Derrick coldly replied.
"No way! I don't agree!" Angelina roared furiously.
Her loud shrieking voice attracted everyone's attention.
Charles frowned. He had known everything beforehand and his intuition was right. Derrick came here today just to add fuel to the messed up situation. The photos of Nancy and Edward which were suddenly exposed might even have something to do with him.
That was why he held a press conference tonight and announced the matter of Nancy and Edward's so-called marriage to the world.
"Nancy, the most beautiful woman in the whole world! I've called you sister-in-law so many times before, but I didn't expect you to have another man outside. You're so much better than my brother, hahaha..." Joseph maliciously mocked her.
Trembling with anger, Nancy subconsciously held on to Charles's arm tightly.
"Joseph, what do you think are you doing?"
"Ha ha..." Joseph jeered and looked around at everyone present. "I have some interesting good news to tell you. Are you interested to hear it?"
Everyone present had heard about the fight for power in the Fu family a few years back.
It was said that because of their disagreement. Derrick didn't have any contact with Frederic all these years. From the turn of events, it was obvious that his intention in showing up today was not in good faith. "What does Joseph want to expose?" "Who knows?" "I guess it's an inside story regarding the Fu group's conflict. We should listen to it carefully."
"It could be a scandal within the family, ha ha..."
Everyone was talking about it, guessing what the big expose could be.
Charles took a step forward and admonished angrily, "Joseph, I advise you not to do anything rash and evil, okay?"
"Oh, you are my brother. No, no, you are my cousin. Even though we are only cousins, we are very close like brothers. So Brother, don't worry. I am doing this for your sake. Don't misunderstand me like this. It pains my heart." Joseph raised his eyebrows and solemnly covered his heart with his hand. Then, he mimicked like a woman. "If you misunderstand me, I will be sad, very, very sad!"
"Joseph, don't be a hypocrite. Do you think I care about your kindness?" Charles callously rebutted.
He was not afraid of either Derrick or Joseph.
But he was afraid of these reporters, because they must have received Derrick's money in advance for them to be here. If they were to write something nonsense, Nancy would never be able to clarify herself. "Charles, Nancy isn't true to you and doesn't love you at all. What she loves is not you, but your money and status. That's why she concealed her marriage to Edward. Charles, my dear brother, whether you believe it or not, this is the plain truth!" Joseph taunted viciously.
Nancy looked at Joseph in awe, unable to comprehend where he was coming from. "Joseph, I have no enmity with you. Why are you framing me? I'm not married and never had been. Why do you insist that I'm married? What's your purpose in all this?" "Yes, Mr. Joseph. We were not aware that Nancy has previously been married. You can't talk nonsense
without any concrete evidence!" someone in the crowd interjected reasonably.
