The Amazing son in law Chapter 6900
“Claire, it’s almost time! Let’s head in first,” he urged.
“Okay.” Claire didn’t say anything else and followed Charlie Wade and Yohana toward the entrance of the press conference.
As they approached the entrance, Charlie Wade pulled a mask from his pocket and handed one to Claire, saying, “Wife, let’s put on these masks. We’re not real reporters, so let’s not risk being recognized.”
This press conference marked the first collaboration between the An family and the Wade family in two decades, so the public’s interest was already quite high. Charlie Wade, who bore a striking resemblance to his father, intended to wear a mask to avoid being identified by anyone watching closely.
Although Claire was unaware of Charlie Wade’s true intentions, she agreed with his reasoning. Aurous Hill was a small place, and it was possible they might encounter acquaintances. If someone recognized them sneaking into the press conference, it could lead to an awkward situation. Wearing a mask would help prevent that.
So, the couple donned their masks and entered the venue.
The press conference was already bustling with reporters and photographers. Yohana guided the couple to the seating area designated for Aurous Hill Morning News, where the three of them settled side by side.
Yohana leaned in and whispered to Claire, “Today’s press conference is a significant event, and several foreign media outlets have also arrived.”
Claire nodded in agreement, saying, “Both families involved in this press conference are very influential. The media must be eager to learn about the projects they’ll be collaborating on.” Yohana waved his hand dismissively.
“Actually, it’s much more complicated than that. I’ve looked into the history between these two families. They were once related, you know?”
“I know,” Claire replied. “I’ve read some gossip articles suggesting they were once connected, but then something went wrong. It seems the An family accused the Wade family of causing their daughter’s death.”
“Exactly,” Yohana confirmed. “Twenty years ago, the Wade family’s second son and the An family’s eldest daughter were both killed, and their children went missing. Many believe that their son was also murdered, but his body was never found. There are whispers that the killer had ties to the Rothschild family, but ultimately it was the Wade family’s negligence that led to this tragedy.”
“I think I’ve heard of this incident,” Claire said. “But the rumors are so strange that I didn’t know who to trust, so I didn’t give them much thought.”
Curious, Claire asked, “Did their children also meet with misfortune?”
“It’s said that they did,” Yohana replied. “Think about it: if they could kill the couple, wouldn’t they also eliminate a small boy? In TV shows, the younger the child, the more likely he is to seek revenge later. Given their ruthlessness, they wouldn’t leave any loose ends.”
Claire nodded thoughtfully. “That does sound plausible.”
Yohana leaned in closer, speaking in a conspiratorial tone, “Do you know why these two families—one from New York and the other from Yanjing—have chosen to reunite and initiate a new project? Why hold the press conference in Aurous Hill?”
“I’m not sure,” Claire said, shaking her head. “Perhaps they believe Aurous Hill has potential for development, so they decided to invest here together?”
“Not quite,” Yohana replied, smirking. “Aurous Hill’s GDP isn’t even ranked in our province.”
