Chapter 779 Lifting All Protections
"What can I do?" Mr. Solomon Sr. was on the verge of collapse. "I can't have children myself. The Solomon family can't end with me, right? My mother and I agreed that if both embryos were successfully cultivated, my elder brother's and mine would be implanted in Anniston's womb to have a pair of twins. But... mine didn't make it."
He paused for a moment.
Then, Mr. Solomon Sr. looked at Fiona and said firmly, "I didn't succeed in cultivating it, but Anniston doesn't believe me. She thinks that my mother and I favored my elder brother's genes, so she abandoned our child. How is that possible?"
Mr. Solomon Sr. looked around as if searching for something.
"Because you've always known that Darwin isn't yours, you've neglected him since he was young, even being emotionally abusive," Fiona stated, her gaze fixed on Mr. Solomon Sr. "You know exactly the kind of deal you made with Mrs. Solomon Sr."
Mr. Solomon Sr., a man who only obeyed his own interests, was he really capable of such absurd things just to continue the Solomon family line?
Mr. Solomon Sr. avoided Fiona's gaze. In reality, to make him agree to this, his mother had directly given him a check for $20 million. But he had spent it all on indulgence.
"You benefited from it, but you still emotionally abused Darwin. And now you're trying to ruin his reputation. Mr. Solomon Sr., are you really asking for this money?" Fiona's fingertip pressed against the bill Mr. Solomon Sr. had presented, and she pushed it forward with disdain.
"I was seduced by that female assassin!" Mr. Solomon Sr. immediately shifted the blame without hesitation. "I don't want the money anymore. Besides, you've already cleared up all the online rumors, and I've ended up with a ruined reputation. Let's just end it here."
Fiona's smile was radiant. "End it?" She crossed her arms and looked at Mr. Solomon Sr. "Mr. Solomon Sr., do you think you can dictate all the rules in this world?"
Mr. Solomon Sr. felt overwhelmed by her powerful aura. "I'm already this old. What more do you want from me? Do you want me to kneel down? I was also seduced by that woman! I know I was wrong! Do you have to be so aggressive?"
"Yes, she has to be aggressive!" A bone-chilling voice came from the doorway. Fiona was startled and immediately turned around to look.
Darwin, leaning on a cane, entered from outside, followed by Mike and Xavier. None of them dared to look at Fiona.
"Darwin!" Mr. Solomon Sr. cried out, full of tears, in a voice of grievance.
In fact, Darwin would never have spoken to Mr. Solomon Sr. like this when he was a child. He had always yearned for closeness with his father. But... Mr. Solomon Sr. reflected on his past actions toward Darwin. He felt profound regret. If he had foreseen this outcome, he would have cherished his son.
If he hadn't fallen out with Darwin, how could he, Mr. Solomon Sr., have ended up being pressed to the ground by a woman?
"Why are you here?" Fiona's gaze swept over Mike's face. Mike looked around, avoiding Fiona. If he didn't look at Ms. Chelsea, he wouldn't be intimidated by her gaze!
"I wanted to see how shameless he could be." Darwin leaned on his cane, his gaze sweeping around the room. This place made him uncomfortable.
"Darwin, I was deceived!" Mr. Solomon Sr. tried to approach Darwin.
Fiona was getting impatient. She grabbed a teacup from the coffee table and smashed it at Mr. Solomon Sr.'s feet.
Mr. Solomon Sr. was immediately frightened and stepped back, then he looked at Fiona with a look of grievance. "Can't I even talk to him? Fiona, you don't have to be so domineering. Darwin just married you, not sold himself to you!"
"What's the difference?" Darwin asked.
Mr. Solomon Sr. was taken aback, gazing at Darwin in astonishment. It dawned on him that the photos his girlfriend had shown him that day had been doctored. Had he seen Darwin in this state back then, he wouldn't have dared to do any of those audacious things!
"Darwin, I know I was wrong. Give me a chance, and I'll leave in a while. I won't come back without your permission! I won't ask you for a penny again!" Mr. Solomon Sr. pleaded, tears streaming down his face. "Please, for the sake of your late grandmother, let Fiona spare me and give me a way out!"
"When did I say I was going to kill you?" Fiona rolled her eyes. The old man was still trying to play this trick with her.
"If you don't kill me, then you want to cut off the money in my trust fund?" Mr. Solomon Sr. asked. "That won't do. I'd rather you just give me a knife and let me die all at once!"
"The trust fund won't be stopped," Darwin said coldly.
Fiona lowered her gaze, not saying a word. Since Darwin was here, she would do as Darwin wished. Although she hadn't planned to stop Mr. Solomon Sr.'s trust fund in the first place.
"Darwin, you're the best. You know how to cherish your elders. Let's go shopping later. I'll buy some gifts for the kids before I leave..." Mr. Solomon Sr. suggested.
"No need," Darwin interrupted in a cold voice. "You've already used my daughter to threaten my wife. How dare you say you want to see her?"
"I was deceived, that's all I said. How could I hurt her?" Mr. Solomon Sr. muttered.
Darwin replied firmly, "The airport has already prepared a flight for you, and someone will send you there immediately. From the moment you board the flight, the Solomon family will lift all political protection for you, which means that the crimes you committed abroad can be prosecuted by the local police and the victims at any time."
"What?" Mr. Solomon Sr. exclaimed immediately. The Solomons had developed well in many countries overseas and had cooperated at the national level. So, there had been some convenient doors. This had also become the backing for Mr. Solomon Sr.'s misdeeds abroad over the years.
"Do you really think I can treat you as if nothing happened after you bullied my wife and child?" Darwin's eyes were ice-cold. Fiona couldn't help but glance at him, even suspecting that Darwin had regained his memory.
"Then, I won't leave the country. I'll just stay in the country, okay?" Mr. Solomon Sr. started to act tough.
Darwin sneered, "That's all right. At least when you're abroad, you can use a hefty bail to get yourself out. But back here... you might have to wait for a bullet."
Mr. Solomon Sr. was shocked once more. "Darwin, your wife and child are safe, but now it's my turn to face misfortune. Must you be so ruthless? We're family!"
"You haven't suffered enough," Darwin replied coldly, then looked at Fiona. "Let's go, let's go home." "
