Since he came in, Fred had been watching the situation develop. It seemed that the only help he provided to the Flores family was to bring them to Denmark Residence.
Seeing that Lily was thoroughly defeated, Fred sighed, "With this evidence, I certainly won't stand on their side. But... they said you are their son. Although I feel a little ridiculous, I still brought them to see you and to figure out the situation. What do you say?"
Fred had expected everyone in the room to be shocked when he said they thought he was their son, but nobody really seemed to react.
Hazel took a deep breath. It seemed that the Flores family couldn't help but have to launch the final attack. As her eyes fell on Fred, Hazel was stunned. Did the Flores family reach an agreement with the directors of Denmark Group?
This was not impossible.
Although Joshua was the president of Denmark Group, many directors knew that Joshua was only a foster son to Denmark's. Naturally, many of them wanted to make a move, but Joshua had been so good at operating the Denmark Group that these people could do nothing but wait for an opportunity.
Therefore, those directors were very likely to engage with the Flores family. After all, kindness was both the biggest advantage and the biggest weakness Joshua had.
Joshua looked at Fred calmly and said faintly. "I am not their son."
Caroline suddenly cried out loud and said, "Joshua, my son, I know that you hate us in your heart. We shouldn't have abandoned you in the past, but we also had difficulties at that time!"
Lanny and Henry also began weeping, trying to make it sound as real as possible.
"Easy, guys," Fred said. "You said that Joshua is your son. Is there any evidence?"
"Evidence? Of course, we have it!" Caroline stopped crying. She took out a photo, "We gave the child to this woman. And this woman ran an orphanage, the same orphanage Joshua had stayed in!"
"If that is the case, then let's go to the orphanage and figure it out." Fred put forward a solution. "Moreover, the orphanage should have the data of all the children they accepted. When we check the orphanage file, everything will be clear, right?"
"Okay, let's go now!" The Flores family was very confident.
"No need to go there," Joshua said.
"So, Joshua, does that mean you are going to admit them?" A dark light flashed in Fred's eyes.
"You thought too much." Joshua said calmly, "The orphanage caught a fire a few days ago. The information in the data room was destroyed. I am afraid you will be disappointed if you go there."
"What a coincidence?" Fred looked at Joshua in a suspicious look. He smiled and said, "Joshua, when we just wanted to go to the orphanage to check the information, the information was burned. Could it be... someone deliberately burned the information to hide the truth from us?"
"I think so too." Joshua said calmly, "But that person is going to be really disappointed. They may not know the information of the orphanage was saved electronically."
"What, what? How is it possible?!" The Flores family faces immediately sunk at the same time.
"Why do you think it is impossible?" Hazel asked curiously.
"This, this..." The Flores family stuttered and could not answer.
Fred had also become somewhat uncomfortable, and the Flores family was a bunch of idiots. He could only direct the show by himself now. "I have investigated the orphanage before. I heard that the orphanage head couldn't operate a computer, so there was no electronic file. I didn't know the electronic file you are talking about existed. When was it built?"
"It seems that Director Cohen is very clear about the orphanage too." Joshua's pupils shrank.
"It's about your identity. Of course, I should be careful." Fred also slowly pulled off his neutral mask.
"The electronic file was created by the orphanage a few years ago." Joshua said faintly, "After all, paper files are too easy to be damaged. Is that right, Director Cohen?"
"It's easy for electronic files to be altered too." Director Cohen also said calmly, "How do we know this electronic file in your hands is true or false?"
"Very wise." Joshua nodded, "That's why I scanned all the information at that time."
Fred's face became stiff. If it was a scanned version, then he couldn't question the authenticity of the file. He didn't expect that Joshua actually took precautions at such an early age. It was impossible for him to see the future and to do things that would protect them. He could only say that Joshua did things very carefully, which had been his usual style.
Joshua smiled, "Director Cohen, rest assured. I have already notified Aunt Jennie, and she is now coming over with a scanned copy. Soon the truth will be clear to all of us."
Fred's expression was one of disagreement, but he looked at the Flores family and gave them a wink.
"What can it prove even if it is scanned?" Caroline received the signal and argued, "Who said that the scan could not be faked? Joshua, why won't you admit it to us? To deny your relationship with us, you actually would rather burn the information and make some fake things to fool us?"
Hazel frowned. The Flores family were still not going to give up. It looked like no matter what Jennie brought, they would insist that it was fake evidence.
"Joshua," Lanny said, "I understand, you don't want to admit us not only because we gave up on you, but because your mother doesn't like your girlfriend, so you are angry with us, right? But we only meant good for you!
"Yeah, you are so good, rich, and handsome. Hazel has a bad temper. And she knows to do nothing. She doesn't deserve you at all!" Caroline kept speaking like a firing machine gun, "You are the president of Denmark Group. The woman standing by you should be very capable too, just like..."
When Caroline was thinking, suddenly, an interview with Mathew Carter was broadcast live on the TV.
The show had already begun. After the surveillance video of the study room was displayed, the servant of Denmark Residence had switched the TV back to the previous channel. Now, Mathew was narrating his life experience and repeatedly thanking the mysterious female boss of Joshua-Hazel Pictures, who invested in him.
Caroline had heard about Mathew's story from Lily. After all, Lily had wanted to be a star in the online drama, so she kept mentioning Mathew's name to Caroline every day.
Caroline's eyes lit up and pointed to the TV, "Joshua, your life partner should be exactly like this mysterious female boss of Joshua-Hazel Pictures!"
