My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1475 Fear

Chapter 1475 Fear

The next morning, at the Armstrong family villa, several media outlets collaborating with the Simpson Group arrived as scheduled.

Camille and Grace had come early, along with Kian and Horace. Kian was there to accompany Camille and the media and reporters present. As for Horace, he didn't necessarily have to come, as the general manager of Armstrong Corp didn't require him to handle the affairs of the Armstrong family. However, given his relationship with Grace, his presence was justifiable.

The media had already seated themselves in the garden of the Armstrong family villa, and the reporters were preparing to start the live broadcast, ensuring that the news would be spread immediately. Uncles were also present, nervously waiting in the living room.

The uncles had deliberately chosen an auspicious time in order to give their son a good start.

Although Little Uncle's family hadn't formally passed their son to the Armstrong family, how could he not participate? After all, an agreement had been reached with Big Uncle for their cooperation.

Camille didn't expose them or have any intention of revealing their plans; she simply remained silent, observing everything.

Shortly before the appointed time, Big Uncle sought out Camille and Grace. He asked, "Can I say a few words later?"

"What does Big Uncle want to say?" Camille asked.

"I just want to speak my mind and share my feelings," Big Uncle replied.

"Of course, you can. Today, as the main characters, both Big Uncle and Big Cousin can speak," Camille quickly agreed.

Grace looked worried and glanced at Camille. After Big Uncle left, she quickly shared her thoughts, "It's a live broadcast; I'm worried Big Uncle might speak without filter."

"It's okay, Kian is here, and he will handle it," Camille reassured her.

She was not worried at all. If someone were to say anything negative about the adoption during the course of the event, the adoption itself would be a failure. Big Uncle's true motives had not been realized; how could they possibly impede their own path?

Camille lightly pursed her lips, a faint smile playing on the corners of her mouth. She was looking forward to the live broadcast and was curious to see how things would unfold.

With just over ten minutes left until the press conference, Kian approached Camille and whispered, "Madam, will you show yourself later? If you don't mind appearing, the reporters won't specially block the camera. But if you do mind, I will ask them to be more careful."

"It's okay. I will monitor my expressions today, and I'm sure no one will have any doubts," she replied confidently. She had prepared herself psychologically last night, so she was dressed entirely in black today for this very reason.

She also had Grace wear black clothes, and they both tied their hair back in a ponytail, without any makeup.

She had been a little cunning today, to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. Even though she didn't care about what others said or thought, she still didn't want to take any spotlight away from today's events. The press conference began promptly at 10:30.

The host of today's press conference was the head of public relations at Armstrong Corp, who had been in charge of the PR department at Armstrong Corp since Brody was in power. So it was quite reasonable for him to host the event.

He briefly explained the main points of today's conference. Due to the series of unfortunate events in the Armstrong family, Page's maternal uncles were very concerned. Although their sister had already passed away, as her brothers, they were determined not to leave her daughter without a reliable maternal family. Therefore, they had decided to pass her son to the Armstrong family.

The adoption process was very simple. Grace, Camille, and the maternal uncles had signed an agreement stating that from that day on, their nephew would be a part of the Armstrong family, taking the Armstrong family's surname, and all his actions would be in the best interest of the Armstrong family. As for the uncles, they were to change how they were addressed; from now on, they would not be referred to as parents but as uncles and aunts.

After signing the agreement, the uncles also made a statement to the camera, saying, "From now on, the two families are one. Please supervise us to ensure that we take care of the Armstrong family and Grace and Camille."

With the conclusion of this ceremony and the existence of the press conference, a name change required a visit to the police station, and it was completed that same afternoon.

After the news was broadcast by the media, it immediately garnered a lot of attention. There were questions about the purpose of the adoption; was it really out of concern for their late sister's daughters? This question led to extensive scrutiny of the uncles on social media.

People who were unaware of the uncles' relationship with Page stepped forward to question their motives, suspecting that they simply wanted to claim the Armstrong family's assets. Given Brody's conviction and Page's departure, the family now only had two daughters, and the uncles didn't want the family's assets to fall into their hands. This led to accusations directed at them.

"This pair of uncles doesn't have good intentions; they are just out for themselves."

"I even suspect that their sister's death might be related to them. Why else would they rush to pass their only son to their sister's family? The man they are passing him to is the person responsible for their sister's death; are they insane?"

"I hope the police will investigate strictly; these two seem rather suspicious. I think there's a hidden, sinister truth behind all this."

"Are these uncles plotting against their own nieces?"

This kind of suspicion immediately caused a stir on the internet. It had only been a few hours since the news had been made public and it was already trending in the top ten.

Some netizens even exposed the uncles' residences, as well as their companies, which had poor profits and very unsatisfactory benefits for their employees. Learning about their bosses' actions, the employees naturally began to criticize them, and as a result, the uncles were almost drowned in a sea of criticism.

The entrance of their residential complex had also been surrounded by people, making it difficult for them to leave the house.

They had originally planned to celebrate the successful completion of the adoption process, and had purchased a lot of expensive dishes, such as seafood. Now, they had no appetite left, only worry and fear.

The two uncles looked at each other, blaming each other for not being friendly enough, which is why people were harsh on them. The online discussions were intense, and their families' privacy had been exposed to the point of transparency. As a result, Little Uncle immediately took a stand and said, "The one adopting our son is you, not me. Why should I share these consequences with you? My family hasn't gained anything from this, so I don't want to suffer with you."

Little Uncle promptly took a stand against Big Uncle and immediately distanced himself, taking his family and children back to their own home. In order to exonerate themselves, Little Uncle and his family began to undermine Big Uncle and the Armstrong family online. As a result, the two families began to tear each other apart online.

The entire day was extremely lively, becoming the ultimate source of entertainment.
