Chapter 732: 733 Who Are You?

Chapter 733 Who Are You?

After the phone call with Crystal, Amos decided to return Wilson's call.

"Amos, where are you? Are you not joining us for the interview?" Wilson asked as he tugged on his tie anxiously.

Ever since the rumors of him murdering his brother and sister-in-law, and taking away everything from their adopted daughter and abandoning her hit the internet, he had been on heat from all sides, most especially his political party members who were asking him to withdraw from the race.

Now that they had gotten the sick girl to act as his niece, they had less than thirty minutes before the interview at the hospital, and he expected Amos to be with them and testify as the lawyer who was in charge of his brother's property, who could prove that the girl had been well taken care of all these years.

"Joining you for the interview? Am I supposed to?" Amos asked with a raised brow.

"What do you mean? I thought we agreed..."

"No, I didn't agree to do anything with you. I'm on my way out of the country on a vacation with my family," Amos said and Wilson frowned.

"We agreed that you would join us for the interview. That was the reason we allowed you find a girl over there in Varis instead of Heden where we live. I and my family flew down to Varis from Heden for this interview, and you're telling me you won't be with us?" Wilson asked incredulously.

"All these years when you were swimming in wealth not once did you think of me or call me, but the moment trouble came knocking, you remembered me. I have done my best for you, so please leave me out of this now," Amos said, and hung up the call before Wilson could say anything else.

He took a deep breath as he contemplated whether or not to give Jade a call and after a moment he decided to call her and clear the air with her before getting rid of his phone and disappearing.

Away from there, Wilson turned to face his wife and daughter who were waiting for him to give the go ahead so they could all head to the girl's hospital room.

"What is wrong?" His wife, Emilia, asked when she noticed the worry in his eyes.

"Amos is not joining us," he said and her brows drew together.

"Did he say why?" She asked while Rachel clasped her hands together.

"I knew this was a bad idea. I knew this..."

"Will you shut your filthy mouth! We are in this mess because of you! If only you didn't act like a stupid brat, the Hanks wouldn't have targeted me," Wilson roared at her angrily, not minding that they were standing in the car park and anyone could hear them.

"You can't be so sure that it's the Hanks or that this is happening because of something I did. It could be your political opponents targeting you. And I'm not the one who asked you to abandon your niece," Rachel retorted and immediately her father raised his hand to hit her, but her mother quickly held him back.

"You can't lose your temper right now. We are in public. Don't add more to this mess. And you, shut your mouth!" Emilia hissed at Rachel while patting her husband's arm.

"It is almost time. We should go in now," Wilson's political aide advised, ignoring the family's drama.

Wilson took a deep breath, "I think we should pull the plug on this. I have a bad feeling about this. Why did Amos suddenly decide to not show up?" Wilson asked and his aide shook his head.

"I don't think we should do that. The reporters we invited are here already. Besides, I already confirmed that the lawyer spoke with the girl and her family and has taken care of her hospital bills as agreed," his political aide said.

"Let's not overthink this and go ahead with our plan. Amos probably doesn't want to get involved in this scandal for his reputation sake," Emilia said and Wilson sighed.

"That makes sense. Are the reporters on standby?" Wilson asked and his aide gave him a nod.

"Let's go in then. The sooner we resolve this scandal, the better for us," he said as he adjusted his suit jacket and then led the way to the hospital.

There was a swarm of reporters at the lobby of the hospital and the moment they saw Wilson and his family they rushed to them.

Because of how confident Wilson had been in his plan, he had randomly invited reporters from the different news stations which had most published news about the rumors so that the same papers would prove his innocence.

"Why are you here?" One of the reporters asked, since Wilson's aide had told them if they wanted to know the truth about the rumors they should come to the hospital by noon.

Wilson stopped in front of them to address the reporters, "I have been silent concerning the rumors all this while because of how devastated and traumatized it made it. It's appalling to know that someone somewhere cooked up such a malicious rumor about me murdering my own brother and sister-in-law. And it didn't stop at that. I was accused of abandoning their adopted daughter and taking all that belonged to her," Wilson said with a downcast expression, and his wife patted his shoulder in silent support. n--OvelBIn

"I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to expose my niece and her family to the public but now that I have the go ahead from them, I have decided to prove to everyone that I am innocent of the allegations and that someone out there is trying to tarnish my image," Wilson finished and his wife nodded.

"Contrary to what the rumors said, I didn't abandon my niece. After the demise of my brother and his wife, I did all that was in my power to help her find her biological parents and I reunited them. I gave her all that was meant for her according to my late brother's Will, and she has been with her family ever since. We have also been in close communication over the years. Unfortunately, some years ago she fell ill and I've been taking care of medical expenses since then," Wilson said and then let his aide lead the way to the girl's private ward which he had asked she be moved to.

A short while later they all walked into the hospital room where a pale young lady was lying down on the bed with an oxygen mask on her face, and her parents standing beside her bed.

The reporters all gathered on one side of the room, with their cameras, ready to capture everything.

"How is my darling girl doing today?" Emilia cooed as she hurried to the bed, acting like she was familiar with the family.

"Hey, cousin! Missed me?" Rachel asked, playing her part as she also joined her mother.

"Cousin? Who are you?" The sick girl's mother asked, startling them.

Wilson glanced at his aide immediately wondering if they were in the wrong room.

"Don't you know who he is?"

"Isn't he your daughter's uncle?" The reporters asked, each throwing a series of question at a time.

"No, we don't know him. We have never met him," the girl's father said and Wilson frowned as he looked at his aide again, wondering if they were in the wrong place.

Wilson's aide stepped forward with a stiff smile, "There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I will sort it out," Wilson's aide said to the reporters as he turned to the lady.

"Ma'am, is there a problem? I met with you earlier, remember?" He asked as though he was talking to a child.

"Yes, you met with us earlier after sending the other man to ask us to act like our daughter is your boss' niece and in exchange you would take care of our debts and settle our hospital bill. We decided that we don't need your help after all," the lady said as she took a bag out from under the bed which contained some money.

"What are you talking about?" Emilia asked in dismay while Rachel hid her face from the cameras as she slowly moved out of view.

Ignoring Emilia, the woman turned to a stunned Wilson, "This is the money the other man you sent paid to the hospital. We don't need it. Someone else took care of our hospital bill and debts already, and he said we should tell you that he knows where your niece is and soon she will come to get all that belongs to her," the woman said.

"No! It's all a lie! It's not true! They are trying to tarnish my husband's image. They've been paid to turn against us!" Emilia cried even as her husband staggered back on his feet.

"He said you would say that, and to prove to you how much he knows about your niece, we should ask if you know who Sara Walker is," the girl's father said, and on hearing that, Wilson slumped and all the cameras focused on him while Rachel immediately snuck out of the place, leaving her mother and her father's aide to deal with the situation.

It was obvious that this was the end for her father, and she didn't want to wait around to see what would happen next.

His political career was over already, and after all the shame she had been enduring in the last couple of days since the rumors began to circulate, she couldn't afford to hang around anymore now that things were this way, especially when she knew he was going to keep blaming her for it because he believed the Hanks were behind it.

Had she known she wouldn't have come here with her parents to do this nonsense. Now her face would also be all over the news. How embarrassing!

It was the end for her father, but it didn't have to be the end for her too. She would just do what Anita did, and disappear as well.
