A huge commotion broke out in the crowd.
"So, what you're saying is, you and Miss Ning had already been together before? Is that true?" the
reporter asked once more for clarification.
"I've already told you before and I'll say it once again. I have been in love with Nancy for a few years
now. Needless to say, Nancy is also in love with me. That's why we have Bobby and Nadia now. It's not
just for acquiring the TS Group. So, I implore you. I hope you won't make baseless assumptions."
Charles had to say these things for the sake of Nancy and the children. It was his responsibility to
protect them from malicious controversies.
Whether he liked it or not, this was how people thought of them. Before they heard the truth, they
criticized and belittled Nancy. They even portrayed her as a lowly and immoral woman. But after
Charles had confirmed her identity, everyone suddenly changed their attitudes towards her.
Now, it was all flattery. Their once degrading gossips turned into praises.
"I knew it. It was quite impossible for such a beautiful woman to do a shameless thing," said one
reporter.
"Yeah, that's right. Nancy is generous and talented. It seems like she has good taste as well," added
the reporter's colleague.
"Absolutely! It's a great deal for her to invest in Mr. Fu," yet another one chimed in.
"Ha-ha. What a relief!"
Little by little, the atmosphere lightened up. The crowd became livelier.
Seeing that he already achieved what he wanted, Charles stood up. "Edward and I have explained
everything to you. I assume everything is clear now. Can we leave?"
"Yes, it's crystal clear! There are no more misunderstandings. Thank you for your time, Mr. Fu and Mr.
Wu." The reporters had already gotten the answer they wanted. Therefore, there was no reason to
keep asking more questions.
One by one, they packed up their bags and left. Their curiosity was fully satisfied.
"Well, I suppose the effect would be good?" Edward asked Charles after they left. They answered all
the reporters' questions and said everything they wanted to hear.
"I think so. At the very least, it can clear my name a bit and redeem my reputation," Charles answered.
He continued, "Have I actually been embarrassed because of Derrick?"
To this, Edward replied, "How can the word "embarrassed" be even in the shrewd and resolute Charles'
vocabulary? Sure, Derrick is cunning. But it also depends on who his opponent is." Edward didn't really
have to flatter Charles. If he wasn't competent, why would Frederic hand over the TS Group to him?
As for Derrick, he was capable too. Perhaps, he was much too crafty.
If his assumption was right, Charles would definitely fight back.
"I already did what I had to do. The rest is now up to you. Let's go." With that, Edward stood up and
walked out.
"How about we have a drink? Let's celebrate our tiny success," Charles asked as they were walking in
the lobby.
"I'll have to pass. I have to go abroad now and cancel the marriage registration between me and
Nancy. I don't want you to worry about it anymore. The sooner I get this done, the better," Edward said
mockingly as he raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"You really know me well, Edward," returned Charles as he chuckled.
"No, I just know men. Don't worry about it." Edward smirked. He turned towards the exit.
"Then, I wish you a safe trip!" Charles called out.
Edward didn't say anything else. He merely waved his hand as he went out the door.
Once he was gone, Charles' face darkened slightly. He took his phone out and dialed. "Jay, I need you
to do some things for me. First, help me release Anna and Derrick's video. Then, announce to the
public that I'm looking for the best brain doctor in the world for Derrick. Help me look for one. Thanks."
"Okay, got it. I'll do it as soon as I can," Jay told him sluggishly. He sounded stressed and tired.
"What's wrong? You sound very listless," Charles inquired. Ever since Doris got pregnant, Jay had
been distracted all the time. Charles asked, "Does taking care of your wife tire you out so much?"
"Ah, it's indeed exhausting to serve my wife. I did something big recently. Can you guess what it is?"
Jay asked mysteriously. He seemed excited about it too.
"Do you think I'm not busy enough? I don't have time for this." Charles was about to hang up the
phone.
"Then, let me tell you what it is. I went to Doris' hometown and taught her stepmother a lesson. I also
went to Samuel's house and gave him a piece of my mind. The nerve of that guy! How could he bully
Doris?" Jay was so smug while he narrated his little adventure. He seemed really proud of what he did.
"Oh, I see. No wonder I haven't seen you in the last couple of days. It turns out you're busy defending
Doris. By the way, how is she now?" Charles asked as he walked toward the exit.
Jay laughed, "Not bad. Although, I'm not letting her watch TV. She will just feel sorry for Nancy if she
sees her being beaten. It will just trigger her mood swings."
"Well, I see you're growing fonder of your wife. That's good, you've finally matured. When this period of
trouble is over, Nancy and I will go to see how our godson looks. Ha-ha..." Charles was lousy at making
jokes. So, he laughed out of embarrassment instead.
"Oh! How sweet!" Jay said sarcastically. "Just deal with your business first. I know you've been very
upset lately. That's it. I'll hang up now." Soon after Jay said this, he ended the call.
Charles shrugged. He was indeed upset about the current state of things.
But today was a whole lot better than yesterday. His mood had lightened up a bit. Tomorrow... It would
be even better. He just had to wait for Jay to accomplish what he had asked of him.
As soon as he ended the call, Jay immediately contacted his own TV station. He asked them to carry
out the task Charles gave him.
Jay was famous in the entertainment industry. It was his world. He was more knowledgeable in it than
Charles was.
But of course, Charles had no intention of entering the entertainment circle. He didn't want to compete
with Jay. So he just let him be.
In the past few years, Jay's company had been developing smoothly. Whether it was his modeling
agency or the entertainment company, they were top-ranking in this city.
"Who were you calling? What's that all about?" Doris' belly was getting bigger. In fact, she would be
giving birth in two months' time.
"I just have to deal with something. Don't worry about it," Jay replied casually. He was afraid Doris
would find out that Nancy had been beaten. So he wasn't allowing her to watch TV recently. The
reason he told her was quite simple. It was not good for their child to be exposed to television.
Whenever, Jay saw Doris walking like a penguin, he felt really happy. Moreover, Doris wouldn't be able
to see Felix in private anymore.
Just the thought of Felix infuriated Jay so much.
He was angrier at him, especially since he heard Doris say "Felix" in her sleep. During that time, he felt
so jealous that he almost went crazy.
As a result, he sent Hanson to find out Doris' hometown address. After that, he drove to the unknown
town by himself.
The people in the town were not familiar with Jay at all. But as they saw his luxury car, they were all
amazed.
The best-looking car they ever saw here was Myron's, which was Samuel's now. Samuel was a rich
man. Because of his family's riches, he felt like he had the right to harass and intimidate the people in
town. He strutted all around the area as though he owned it.
Ever since Doris' accident, the Liang family had been overpowering the He family.
Doris' father was so angry at her. He even hated her and never cared about her after she left the town.
However, it never occurred to him that his daughter was no longer weak and powerless. She had been
imprisoned and harassed by Samuel before. But now, they had no idea that she became the hostess of
the Fang family.
If they had known that, her stepmother would not be able to ignore her.
