Charles succeeded in putting himself on the moral high ground.
But the reporters didn't give up easily. "What about the rumored relationship between Edward and Nancy?"
It was one of the issues that caught everyone's attention.
And it was also something Edward and Charles wanted to clarify.
"Now that Edward is here, I think he could answer your question." With a bright smile, he turned to Edward. "Right, Edward?
"Of course." Although he felt a little awkward, Edward stood up and faced the crowd.
The reporters held their breath.
They had been waiting for anyone of them to clarify this issue, but nobody spoke.
That was why they were all eager to hear Edward's answer.
In addition to that, the unilaterally news from Derrick made people think that he was indeed stirring up trouble.
And Charles' silence aroused the public's interest.
So how could everyone not look forward to it?
All the reporters present stared at Edward with burning eyes.
"I know you are all curious about the relationship between me and Nancy. The reason why I didn't say anything about this before is because, I thought it was a private matter and not everyone should know about it. I've expected that the rumor would soon die down, but it seems like it got even bigger. Now, it seems like I have to force myself to respond."
"Excuse me, Mr. Wu, do you like Miss Ning?" one of the reporters asked out of curiosity.
With a small smile, Edward replied indifferently, "Yes."
His answer made the reporters sigh.
They all looked back at Charles, checking if there was a hint of anger in his face.
In their minds, they thought, Charles was such a strong and domineering man. How could he allow other men to covet his woman?
Or did Edward really have an affair with Nancy?
This speculation made the reporters excited again.
However, Charles remained calm.
"I do like Nancy, and I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. But she doesn't know." A faint smile appeared on Edwards face.
"Then, how did you get the marriage registration?" one of the reporters asked again.
"That's a good question. If a man likes a woman, he naturally wants her to stay with him for a lifetime. I'm no exception, so I secretly registered marriage with her, hoping to get her." Edward said with self-mockery, "But later, I realized that love never comes by force. I confessed my love to Nancy, but unfortunately, she didn't like me at all. As you have seen, she left me alone and returned home. When I came back, I found out she already have someone who loves her more than I do. That's the man sitting next to me now, Charles."
The journalists snickered.
Frowning, a reporter asked, "Mr. Wu, do you mean that you give up? Are you sure?"
