Chapter 773 A Ridiculous Clarification
Frustrated, the woman on the other end snapped, "Then you can wait for their press conference!"
"Darling, please don't be angry..." Mr. Solomon Sr. began, but the woman hung up before he could finish.
Sitting in the car, her face dark with frustration, she reflected on her plan. After all this time, she had hoped to strike a blow to Fiona, maybe even deceive her and take some of Solomon's investments. Now, however, she couldn't shake the feeling that her carefully crafted scheme was falling apart.
Just then, Solomon Investments, which had remained silent, issued an official statement. It addressed the recent online discussions about the Darwins, starting with gratitude towards concerned netizens for their interest in the Darwin family's welfare. The statement reassured everyone that Darwin was recovering well.
Next, it tackled the issue involving Mr. Solomon Sr. Known for their straightforwardness, Solomon's statement clarified that Mr. Solomon Sr. had never been present for Darwin, given his constant travels abroad, and their relationship had already grown distant.
Additionally, due to an incident where Mr. Solomon Sr. and his family mistreated Darwin's wife and children, Darwin was furious and refused to meet his father.
Finally, the statement mentioned the upcoming press conference. "Ms. Fiona originally wanted Mr. Darwin to have more time to recuperate in peace, but the recent public discussions have severely damaged her reputation. Mr. Darwin has decided to hold a press conference this evening to clarify the absurd accusations made by some individuals."
The statement immediately became a hot topic and topped the charts. Comments from netizens flooded in without delay, expressing a mix of support, skepticism, and curiosity.
[This sounds just like Mr. Solomon Jr.! I feel relieved!]
[This statement is so typical of Darwin. He's really alive!]
[He never died! Hasn't that already been confirmed? The recent uproar was caused by Mr. Solomon Sr., who claimed that Fiona was preventing him from seeing his son and grandchildren!]
[Exactly! The statement also mentioned that their father-son relationship was never as close as Mr. Solomon Sr. claimed. PS: In all these years, Mr. Solomon Jr. has never wavered in his love and respect for his wife.]
[Will the press conference be live?]
[Finally, we can see the living Darwin. I'm excited!]
[Now I'm curious, what will Mr. Solomon Sr. say?]
[What else can he say? He's probably still cursing the officers who tried to mediate the situation.]
The young girlfriend of Mr. Solomon Sr. was annoyed as she hung up her phone and glanced at Mr. Solomon Sr. across the street. She had always felt a physical disgust toward him.
If it weren't for wanting to get close to Fiona through him, she wouldn't have approached him in the first place. Now Mr. Solomon Sr. had no more value to her.
She thought for a moment and made another call to Mr. Solomon Sr.
Mr. Solomon Sr. answered immediately. "Darling, I know I was wrong, and I will control my temper from now on!"
"I think Fiona is well prepared this time!" the woman said in a deep voice, her tone suggesting a sense of urgency. "In any case, you have to find a way to see Fiona. Offer as much money as you can, even if it means not causing any more trouble on the internet!"
"But I can't see her?" Mr. Solomon Sr. queried, his uncertainty evident.
"She will definitely go to the press conference. At worst, you can sneak into their neighborhood, go to the company, or wait at the school gates of those two children," the woman advised, her voice still deep, emphasizing the need for caution. "You absolutely cannot be taken advantage of!"
"Is this really a good idea?" Mr. Solomon Sr. hesitated, expressing his reservations.
"Honey, there's something I haven't told you yet. I was planning to wait until everything was successful and surprise you at the celebration," the woman revealed.
"What is it?" Mr. Solomon Sr. asked eagerly.
"I'm pregnant!" the woman said, choking up. "It must be from our time at the villa in the rainforest two months ago!"
Mr. Solomon Sr., who had been diagnosed with oligospermia, had faced numerous struggles with fertility, particularly with Anniston. After a moment of daze, this bewildered man, Mr. Solomon Sr., had no doubts about the matter, feeling only that it was a miraculous gift bestowed upon him. "Great! I knew it, heaven wouldn't abandon me!"
"Honey, after all this trouble, I'm very worried that Fiona will go after the trust fund your mother left you!" The woman's voice trembled with concern. "If she really does, we'll lose the $300,000 for this month, how can we raise our child? I can endure hardship with you, but the child can't!"
"I understand," Mr. Solomon Sr. said firmly. "Solomons originally had a share of it, but Darwin took it all by force!" He paused briefly before continuing, determination lacing his words. "Even if it's for our son, I have to fight for it!"
The woman responded gently on the other end, though her face remained expressionless. She knew that even if this move couldn't cause substantial harm to Fiona, it would be enough to disgust her!
After hanging up the phone, the woman immediately bought a ticket to go abroad and then drove off.
At precisely six o'clock in the evening, Solomon Investments initiated a live broadcast on social media. The press conference unfolded at a hotel owned by the Rhoads family, its decor minimal. The camera panned to reveal a simple setup: a long table draped in black cloth adorned with fresh flower bouquets.
As the live broadcast commenced, a surge of viewers tuned in. The host offered brief introductory remarks before a man in a black suit, sporting a cold and stern demeanor, appeared on screen, leaning on a cane.
[Damn! It's Darwin!]
[Oh my god, why is Mr. Solomon Jr. still so handsome!]
[How can I experience some awesome beauty?]
[The Darwin couple is here to create miracles in the world, right?]
[It's outrageous, although he has lost a lot of weight, but it is undoubtedly him!]
The live chat was buzzing with excitement.
Darwin sat down. He looked up at the camera. In his beautiful eyes, there was not much emotion, as calm as a lake. "Good evening, everyone, I am Darwin," he said, his voice as cold and deep as ever.
The live chat erupted with a flurry of reactions and comments, affirming the unmistakable identity of Darwin Solomon Jr.
[Okay, I'm completely relieved now. While appearances can be altered with plastic surgery, the voice cannot, and that voice is undoubtedly Darwin's!]
[Ah, his voice is so nice!]
[Mr. Solomon Jr! It's really you!]
A screen displaying the live chat stood in front of Darwin. He briefly glanced at it before turning away, his lips forming a mocking smile. "It's ridiculous that I'm here to hold a press conference for such a ridiculous thing."
Off-camera, Fiona, her face obscured by a mask, reacted to Darwin's sarcasm. She seemed momentarily dazed, as if she had glimpsed the Darwin from before his memory loss. This spontaneous, sarcastic remark was clearly not part of the script.
His mocking smile caused a momentary freeze in the live broadcast, but soon the flood of comments resumed in the live chat.
[Mr. Solomon Jr, you are a married man, you can't laugh like this!]
