Chapter 571 Identity Exposed
"Ha ha ha ha, how can anyone consider them as a couple? They don't seem that close. Didn't they tell each other they were picking up the kids? The guy obviously didn't know the woman would be there~"
"Right, right, they're not close. He left the luxury car behind, had the chauffeur drive away, and took the wheel of a cheap car in person, all because Darwin wanted to play chauffeur for the day!"
"Let’s be real, even though Darwin can fall head over heels in love.Did you guys see the way he looked and smiled at Fiona when he got out of the car? It was so sweet it gave me cavities!"
"Yeah, I wanted to point that out as well. He's so obviously in love!"
"Seeing this, I feel more bitter than sweet. Remember the photos of him with the Secretary Woods? He always seemed so icy and distant then... I feel heartbroken and indignant for Secretary Woods today!"
"Guys, why are there always this kind of comments about someone irrelevant every time there's a video of Fiona and Darwin. Can you just go post your own thing? Isn't it a bit morbid?"
"You idiot! You are being ridiculous. Do you even know why he's called Darwin? Does it have anything to do with your darling Fiona? Dont forget that Fiona slept with Darwin and had his child when Secretary Woods was still alive. Strictly speaking, Fiona was the other woman, you get it?"
While everyone was heatedly arguing on the internet, a boomshell dropped.
"Hasn't anyone realized that Fiona and the Secretary Woods are actually the same person?"
Beneath the text were photographs, comparing the ear shapes of the Secretary Woods and Fiona as well as subtle facial features.
This revelation crashed the Twitter servers.
"How come I never considered this possibility? Now, look at the comparison, their ear shapes are exactly the same. One can change her appearance, but the ear shapes are unchangeable!"
"And what about their height, folks? I tweeted my suspicion before on how two people could look so alike and be exactly the same height?" The person who posted this had uploaded a photo comparing Fiona standing next to Darwin with the Secretary Woods next to him.
"Yeah, and the timing of the pregnancy is so suspicious. If you alternate their identities, wouldn't it make sense for her to be pregnant during that time?"
"The timing of Fiona’s appearance is also strange. My old-money friends said they'd never heard of a granddaughter in the Rhoads family. My friends' relatives knew Janna, and she used to envy those with granddaughters. Then a couple of years after Secretary Woods's death, suddenly the Rhoads family had a new granddaughter!"
"Oh boy, do I have a story for you! Remember Fiona’s bestie, Thalassa? The girl who dated her stepdad Charles and then married Kenny, the man who couldn't stop talking about love! She was the Secretary Woods's middle school classmate; they were pretty close!" This comment came with a class group photo.
In this photo, young Fiona and Thalassa, leaning on each other, were beaming with the glow of youth.
"Where did that class picture come from? I don't even have one!!" Thalassa was squatting on the couch, utterly baffled when she stumbled upon the post.
Fiona shook her head. "Maybe we did take a big group photo, but I forgot where mine was!"
"I came to think of it! " Thalassa slapped her thigh, "Didn't we lose a backpack during the trip we took when we graduated? That was probably when it got lost!"
"Right…" Fiona nodded.
"Honey, what do you think?" Darwin asked Fiona.
The truth was, Darwin felt conflicted about the situation. He was dying to let everyone know that he, Darwin, was not a heartbreaker and that he loved only one person from the beginning! But he was also worried about the negative impact the revelation might have on Fiona.
"What do you mean 'what do I think'?" Fiona looked up, "I never planned on doing anything. I intended to have Fiona 'die' in the air crash and, after making sure you wouldn't hold onto the past, find a chance to reclaim Fiona's identity."
Darwin looked coldly,'Had she been waiting all those years for him to fall for someone else and get married? '
"But if you acknowledge Fiona is Fiona, you'll definitely catch flak," Thalassa said with concern, "Maybe we should just let it cool off…"
"The number of people who know my real identity will only keep growing. Rather than let the truth eventually become someone else's weapon to attack me with, I'd rather just admit it. Let them talk. Many were genuinely upset about me back then." Fiona said calmly.
On the internet, the discussion was raging about whether Fiona and the Secretary Woods were the same person. During the peak of the heated arguments, Fiona's social media account got updated with a new post.
"I appreciate the concern. There's been a lot of speculation about my identity online, which has troubled many friends who care about me, and I apologize. This matter concerns private issues, and therefore, I will only respond to this once. Yes, Fiona is indeed Fiona."
The comment section exploded.
"Holy smokes, I was just ranting in the group chat about the ridiculousness of the person who leaked this! And now you're telling me it's true!!!"
"What on earth about the plane crash? Don't tell me Fiona escaped from a near-death experience while pregnant with twins?"
"I guess being too sentimental on the internet is a mistake... I literally cried for days back then. I'm so disappointed…"
"What's wrong with you disapointed people? Being joyous is the response when the one you admire hasn't perished, right? I'm exceedingly content now, my beloved couple has been resurrected!!!"
"It occurs to me that Darwin, previously on Twitter, exchanged a lot of telling words with the folks berating him, suggesting that everyone's got it all wrong and that his heart always belonged to his wife! I'm totally floored!!!"
"For real!!!"
"Ladies, Darwin just tweeted!!!"
A short while later.
Darwin tweeted.
"A piece of commom knowledge – my wife has never been a public figure. She really has no obligation to lay her privacy bare for the public to scrutinize. Regarding the incident six years ago, the fault was mine. My overbearing and tyrannical behavior left her no choice but to hide. Now, our family's life is peaceful and happy, and we hope this controversy can come to a rest. Much obliged for everyone's interest."
"So, what's the deal with the plane crash? Did Fiona fake it?"
Darwin replied, "She did board that plane, but felt unwell before takeoff and got off."
"Wasn't it said that the Secretary Woods's family was in a rough spot? How did she turn out to be Fiona?"
Darwin responded, "She was reunited with her estranged family."
Below this reply were nothing but exclamation points.
"So, is the Secretary Woods's story one of those where a fallen heiress getting replaced, ditching the loser, and going home to inherit a fortune?"
"The drama in this life story is absolutely sensational!!!"
"So, was it Janna who found her granddaughter, saw how Darwin tormented her, and used the plane crash as a ruse to whisk her away?"
