Chapter 774 Nonsense Morality

[Secretary Woods has been infatuated with Mr. Solomon Jr. for so many years. If it were me, I might have reacted more extremely!]

[Suddenly, Darwin's charm has made people forget his past. What about his previous mistakes? Hasn't he changed now?]

Such comments flooded the screen, inciting a heated discussion. But there were also netizens who referred to Darwin as their husband.

Soon after, the press conference began in an orderly manner. Ten minutes later, after addressing the questions, the conference concluded.

Darwin was about to leave when a journalist suddenly shouted, "Mr. Solomon Jr., no matter what your father did, he is still your father. Isn't it immoral to refuse to see him?"

Fiona instinctively frowned, ready to step forward. Then, Darwin let out a light laugh. Fiona's steps immediately halted, and she regained her composure.

She always wanted to protect Darwin like a baby. She had almost forgotten what kind of person Darwin used to be. She stepped back and looked at the man who, despite losing weight and having scars on his face, still stood out as the most dazzling figure in the crowd.

"In this world, there are too many parents who have children but abandon them, or who raise them but harm them. Such parents are not worthy of being called moral," Darwin remarked, his voice carrying a mix of resolve and empathy.

The scene fell silent. The journalist wanted to say something, but after meeting Darwin's gaze, he felt a bit intimidated.

In the live broadcast, the atmosphere became even more lively. Darwin looked back at the camera and said, "If your parents hurt you, don't let yourself be bound by any sense of morality. Stay away from them and live your life."

After speaking, Darwin departed, making his way towards Fiona with a cane. The moment Fiona caught sight of him, the cold facade of the CEO softened, replaced by a gentle smile in his eyes. Fiona reciprocated with a warm smile of her own. She approached Darwin, took his hand, and together, they left the venue.

"You did a great job on the spot," Fiona praised Darwin in a low voice.

Darwin thought for a moment and said, "I just spoke from the heart."

Fiona squeezed his hand and said, "Let me take you somewhere."

"Okay." Darwin didn't even ask where they were going. He simply nodded.

"My husband is so naive now. I could've tricked you and still be counting the money," Fiona said, embracing Darwin's waist.

Darwin looked at her and said with a smile, "Even if you tricked me, I would still come back."

Fiona laughed even more. Then she gently caressed Darwin's back and said, "I wouldn't want to trick you!"

These scenes, though not captured by the live camera, were secretly recorded by some sharp-eyed reporters. And at this moment, Darwin's final words on Facebook sparked a discussion.

[I have to say, Mr. Solomon Jr.'s words really struck a chord with me. I was never valued by my parents since I was a child. Before I earned my own money, I never wore new clothes. They were all hand-me-downs from others. I did well in my studies, but my parents didn't allow me to go to a good university. Later, when I earned money, they asked me to subsidize my younger brother.

[It's been ten years, and I haven't gotten married, I don't have a house, I don't have a boyfriend, and I'm still working hard to earn money for my brother's new house. Mr. Solomon Jr.'s words woke me up, and I think it's time for me to make a break!]

Countless comments like this flooded in. There were also netizens who had already followed Darwin's advice. They shared how they had freed themselves from their dysfunctional families and their persecuting parents. They embarked on a journey toward a better future.

There were those who successfully settled abroad, those who realized their childhood dreams and became the adults they wanted to be when they were young. There were also those who, though doing ordinary jobs, found freedom in their souls and were no longer oppressed by their once dysfunctional families.

A popular blogger compiled these stories and screenshots on Facebook: [Today, instead of labeling him a scumbag, let's refer to him as Mr. Solomon Jr. Despite having the ability to craft better public relations, he chose to directly deny moral coercion, offering a way out for many who were deeply affected.]

Another netizen chimed in: [Ladies, don't cry, it's time to treat yourselves to something sweet! Mr. Darwin and his wife are truly couple goals, the sweetest couple in the world!]

As discussions on morality swept across the internet, a particular reporter's alternate account shared images capturing Darwin and Fiona making a statement.

The images depicted three key moments: One was of Darwin walking towards Fiona, the second was the moment they held hands, and the third was when Fiona's hand lightly touched Darwin's back, with the two of them leaning in close, whispering to each other.

[I'm dying from the sweetness!]

[What secrets are they whispering? Tell me too!]

[I bet a dollar that Secretary Woods definitely praised Mr. Solomon Jr.!]

[Of course, everyone in a relationship knows that couples should compliment each other, the more the better!]

[In the first picture, their eyes are so full of love, and the third one is simply divine—the kind of atmosphere that many movies and TV shows can't capture! Secretary Woods has small hands, and Mr. Solomon Jr., despite his thin frame, has a large one. The atmosphere is so good when Secretary Woods puts her hand on his waist!]

[Look at the screenshot of Mr. Solomon Jr.'s expression during the press conference. His face was about to break into a smile when he turned his head and saw his wife!]

[He is so in love!]

[I can't stop crying. Can someone confirm if Mr. Solomon Jr. has been by Secretary Woods's side recuperating since his accident? I can't imagine how Secretary Woods managed to get through this, given their deep love for each other!]

[How can anyone be so compatible? How can anyone love each other so much that just by looking at their backs, you can feel the depth of their love? I'm truly envious!]

On the internet, because of this live broadcast, there were fans of the couple, netizens healing their childhood traumas, and those making wishes under Fiona's Facebook post. It could be said that all walks of life were represented.

But for Mr. Solomon Sr., no one cared about him. There were a few who did show concern, but they were few and far between.

[I just want to know how the old man bullied Secretary Woods and the child!]

[It must have been too much, otherwise Mr. Solomon Jr. wouldn't be so angry!]

[Damn, he doesn't deserve to be called a father.]

Feeling a bit of a heart attack after reading the comments on his social media platform, Mr. Solomon Sr. sat in the car, gritting his teeth. Without hesitation, he dialed Antony's number.

Antony answered promptly.

"Antony, you tell Fiona that if she still refuses to meet me by tomorrow noon, I'll go directly to her daughter's school to wait for her!" Mr. Solomon Sr said through gritted teeth. "She's pushing me too far!"

"Mr. Solomon Sr., do you still think Darwin is a fake?" Antony asked helplessly.

"Don't ask me about this, I can't be bothered to check if he's a fake. All I want now is to see the two of them! You just need to pass on the message." After speaking, Mr. Solomon Sr. hung up the phone.

Antony hesitated for a moment, then made the decision to convey the call to Fiona.
