Chapter 500: Chapter 500 My Child’s Father

At the press conference of the Wolseley Group.

The spokesman, dressed in a black suit and tie, announced solemnly, "Thank you for your concern for the Wolseley Group. Recently, the news of Mr. Lance Wolseley, the president of the Wolseley Group, dying in an accident has been spreading. I will give you an answer here."

The spokesman said with a sad face, "It was confirmed that Mr. Lance Wolseley had passed away unexpectedly on 9th, December."

The scene was instantly in an uproar.

Those who did not believe the previous news was deeply shocked.

Lance was still so young.

For a moment, it was indeed a little hard to accept his death.

After the spokesman gave an official speech, he said, "Next, Mr. Colton Wolseley will make a speech."

Colton was dressed in black and was pushed onto the stage in a wheelchair.

He was haggard, and his face was full of sadness.

He said, "I’m sorry, everyone. Recently, I haven’t been in good health, so I can only talk to you in a wheelchair. You all know that Lance is my best son. I can’t believe that an accident has happened to him..."

Colton wiped his tears as he spoke. His weak and sad appearance was moving.

He choked, "But things have happened. After the pain, I decided to give everyone an explanation. Lance has passed away, but fortunately, Juliette is pregnant with his child. When the child is born, Ms. Beckford will be appointed as the president of the Beckford Group, and our two families will have closer cooperation."

Juliette sat below the stage. When she was photographed by the cameras, she wiped her tears sadly.

She was wearing a black dress and a pearl-shaped top hat, looking as if she was mourning her husband.

Colton continued, "In order to not affect the normal operation of the Wolseley Group, the board of directors made a resolution yesterday. My youngest son, Charlie Wolseley, will be appointed as the president. He had once been a senior executive of a high-level financial institution on Wall Street, and his seniority in all aspects was also well-acknowledged. Lance has always been a role model for him. I believe that Charlie will never disappoint the public and will lead the Wolseley Group to create glory again!"

The pride in Colton’s eyes wasn’t hidden.

The reporters were somewhat confused. Why did the press conference become a commendation ceremony?

Colton coughed lightly and held back the smile on his face. "Now, Charlie will come to the stage and make a speech."

Charlie stood up. He was in a tall handmade suit, and his handsome and elegant appearance made him look glamorous.

Before he went on stage, a voice ruined the quiet atmosphere.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at the entrance. Yvette was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Her makeup was exquisite, and she walked in gracefully.

Colton’s expression changed slightly. He immediately ordered, "What is the security guard doing? Don’t let an outsider in!"

The security guards immediately stepped forward and wanted to pull Yvette out.

Before they could get close, they were all blocked by a group of bodyguards in black.

Those bodyguards were wearing sunglasses and were much stronger than the security guards.

Colton was angry and said, "Who are you? Here is Wolseley Group! You can’t cause trouble! Call the police and chase them out!"

"Wait!"

Frankie walked out from behind the security guards. "Ms. Thiel is here to speak on behalf of Mr. Wolseley."

His words surprised everyone.

Wasn’t Lance dead?

Why was there still someone representing him?

Frankie gestured to Yvette, and Yvette stepped onto the stage calmly.

"Hello, everyone, I’m here to inform you. The news about Lance’s death is not true!"

Yvette’s words caused an uproar.

The reporters did not expect such a dramatic change to happen.

"You are fuck..."

Colton was just about to curse, but seeing so many reporters under the stage, he held it back.

"You are talking nonsense. I originally wanted to leave Lance with dignity, but since you came to create a rumor, I will show the truth to everyone."

The big screen was ready.

The last few seconds of Lance driving the car appeared on the screen.

It should have been taken by the security guards in the back car.

Lance’s side profile was firm and handsome. His expression was not fearful but calm.

This was also the first time Yvette had seen the scene. Her heart sank, and she was almost unable to breathe.

The video was short and less than a minute.

At the last moment, the car rushed into the sea, the flames soaring into the sky.

Frankie looked at Yvette. He had never seen such a dark expression on her face.

Ever since the incident, Yvette had firmly believed that Lance was still alive.

However, she was only using the slightest hope to cover up the endless despair.

After the video ended, Colton did not even pretend to be sad. He questioned Yvette in a low voice, "Even so, you still dare to say that Lance is not dead?"

It was as if Yvette would burst into tears in the next second.

But she closed her eyes to suppress her tears and sadness.

"There is no scene of his death."

She repeated, her tone more determined than before, "There is only an explosion. There is no scene of his death."

Colton wanted to curse.

Such an explosion occurred, and Lance was in the car. Was it necessary to record the scene of his death?

The people present did not believe Yvette.

How could Lance survive in such a situation?

Yvette took out the report from the police and said word by word, "He is missing, not dead."

Colton was nearly angry to death.

He cursed in her heart, this damn woman has kept silent for so long. She was just waiting to stir up trouble.

The police had concluded that after Yazmin escaped, her deliberate revenge had led to Lance’s accidental death.

As a family member, Colton had no objections and signed the closing document on the spot.

He held this press conference after everything had ended smoothly.

Colton didn’t expect that Yvette would bring him a certificate of Lance’s missing.

Colton was furious. He said angrily, "Don’t be unreasonable here. The Wolseley family has decided on it. You are just Lance’s ex-wife who was abandoned. You are not qualified to represent him!"

It was pure personal abuse.

Colton said that Yvette was Lance’s ex-wife who had been dumped, which could explain why she had said something unrealistic.

She did it only for money.

Yvette took out Lance’s will and said coldly, "Is this enough?"

The lawyer went on stage and read out Lance’s will to prove that Yvette had the right to protect Lance’s interests.

Colton was so angry that his face was twisted.

He had reached an agreement with Juliette. Since she had contributed a lot, he would split the inheritance into two and transfer it secretly to her in the form of equity.

However, he did not expect that Lance would make a will.

Yvette added, "Lance is the biological father of my child. Without solid evidence that can prove his death, I have the right to continue looking for him."

Everyone was in an uproar. Surprisingly, Lance still had a child in addition to the unborn one in Juliette’s belly.

Yvette knew that it was difficult for her to fight with Colton, Juliette, and Juliette alone.

However, the power of public opinion was immeasurable. As long as she grasped it well, Colton would be cautious and not dare to be too blatant when doing things.

It was to buy time for her investigation.

Yvette looked at Colton and said calmly, "Mr. Colton, it’s fine if you are not sad, but you even played the last scene before Lance missed in public to prove that he is dead. What did you intend to do?"

Yvette’s tone was mocking. "If I didn’t know you, I would have thought that Lance was not your biological son."

Her words aroused others’ curiosity.

From what Colton did, he was indeed not like a father who had just lost his son.

Colton’s face was hot after being stared at by the crowd. He pointed to Yvette and scolded, "My son died to save you. Now you want to take over his inheritance with a bastard."

He distorted the facts deliberately and dragged Juliette up. He said loudly, "My grandson is in Juliette’s belly. Don’t hope for anything."

"Lance did not die, so it is not an inheritance."

Yvette’s eyes swept across Colton, Charlie, and Juliette’s faces one by one. She sneered. "I’ll help Lance keep his property, and I won’t allow anyone to rob it. As for whose grandson Ms. Beckford’s child is, I’m afraid only Ms. Beckford knows best."

The reporters thought in unison, it turns out that Juliette’s child is also a mystery.

The rich families were really in a mess!

Juliette hated Yvette.

She thought, if not for the fact that Yazmin was not capable enough, this bitch would not have the chance to speak!

Colton was sweating profusely and had a headache.

If others knew that Juliette was not pregnant with Lance’s child...

His prestige would be gone.

Colton cast a glance at Charlie. The press conference ended in a hurry.

All the media were informed. It was inconvenient to report today’s matter, and they would explain after it was settled.

Yvette had expected such a result.

Colton would shut the media up, but he had forgotten the power of gossip.

Even if what had happened today would not be reported, there would be rumors.

To stay away from trouble, Colton would be more careful and refuse to appoint Charlie as the president of the Wolseley Group so quickly.

This way, Yvette’s goal was achieved.

Without the media at the scene, Juliette grabbed Yvette’s arm and said hatefully.

"Bitch! How dare you slander me? If you make another rumor, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Yvette shook her off and glanced at Juliette’s belly with contempt. She smiled coldly and said.

"Juliette, do you think that you can have Lance’s child after destroying the paternity test and leaving your child’s father missing?"

Juliette said calmly, "I have done a paternity test. It is Lance’s child."

She thought proudly, Lance was dead, and Colton is on my side. I have the final say in everything.

I can fake even ten paternity test reports!

"Ms. Beckford, will you dare to do it again?" Yvette sneered.

Juliette shed tears and said with grievance, "Lance is dead. I think you are just making trouble deliberately."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

"Lance is dead. I am still here."

Tanya sat in the wheelchair and looked at Juliette’s frightened expression. She said, "What? Are you surprised?"

Tanya was imprisoned in the villa by Juliette for several days. It was Frankie who took people to rescue her.

"Mom, can you get up?" Juliette responded quickly.

Tanya stood up with the help of the wheelchair and slapped Juliette.

"You vicious woman! You have harmed my son!"

In an instant, Juliette’s face changed dramatically.

She covered her face and felt wronged. "Mom, what did you say? How could I..."

Tanya said bluntly, "Didn’t you want to do a paternity test? I have kept Lance’s hair."

Tanya thought of calling the police.

But Frankie had consulted the lawyer. Because she had been taking medicine all the time, what she said could not be used as evidence.

Tanya’s teeth were trembling. She did not expect that such a poisonous woman was raised by her.

It was her who harmed Lance!

Juliette did not dare to do a paternity test. She lowered her head and cried, insisting that Tanya was targeting her.

Seeing that the scene was in chaos, Colton wanted to hit Tanya subconsciously. "You crazy woman! Are you here to make a scene?"

He was good at distorting the facts. He said that Tanya was crazy and said nonsense.

Frankie stopped Colton’s arm and asked the bodyguards to protect Tanya. He persuaded Tanya to leave for her own safety.

Yvette was also ready to leave. Juliette caught up with her and said angrily, "A mere Lynn family wants to go against the Beckford family and the Wolseley family?"

"Ms. Beckford, I’m afraid you can’t represent the Wolseley family!" Yvette looked at Juliette coldly.

Juliette clenched her fists out of anger. Then, she relaxed them and smiled, "No matter how you talk nonsense, I am pregnant with Lance’s child."

Lance was dead.

And Juliette thought that Yvette and the half-mad Tanya could do nothing.

Yvette’s expression was calmer than hers. "Ms. Beckford, do you think that there was no evidence after the bodyguards died?"

"What do you mean?" Juliette asked, frowning.

"Juliette, what is done by night would appear by day."

Yvette didn’t bother to argue with Juliette, so she said directly, "I will find the evidence to bring you to justice for instigating Yazmin to harm me!"

"Bring me to justice?" Juliette smiled.

She tidied the hair beside her ear. "Just based on Tanya’s crazy words?"

Yvette smiled faintly. "You may not know yet. The highly respected teacher you are familiar with has been arrested. You should go to the police station and explain your relationship with him!"

Juliette lost her composure. "How did you find him?"

She had sent her teacher to a faraway foreign country.

"How did I find him? Go ask the police."

At the entrance, several police officers arrived.

Juliette’s expression changed. She said through gritted teeth, "You will regret it!"

"I do regret it. I regret that I should not have been dispirited. I should have pulled myself together earlier and made you pay the price for what you have done."

"I didn’t do anything!"

Juliette was still calm. She was not flustered by the arrival of the police.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? Actually, I am also the victim."

Yvette stared at Juliette, who kept saying that she loved Lance. She asked word by word, "You have done so many crazy things. Is it really because of love?"

Juliette smiled gently.

She leaned close to Yvette’s ear and whispered, "Of course. You harmed him. You shouldn’t have snatched the man I love!"

"Juliette, actually, you only love yourself the most."

Yvette said coldly, "Your love is worthless!"
