After the press conference finished with Hanlu answering mostly all the press' undying questions, the news broke out later on that day. This time, detailed information about the recent events were written to clear the issues.
And, since this topic was popular lately, this article was a hit no matter what agency the article came from.
Some had already expected the answers but many were still surprised especially at the information that it was the Mo Family who had filed a case against Daniella Sullen.
Aside from this, the fact that Mo Laotian's wife was a long-lost twin brother of Daniella Sullen also stunned everyone. No one had ever thought the Sullen Family had a long-lost grandson.
And no one had mentioned it, not even his biological parents.
This news even shocked Daniel's classmates and schoolmates since they've always just thought Daniel and Daniella were cousins because they didn't look the same, especially in the hair color part. They didn't think, someone could look so different even if they were fraternal twins.
Additionally, the Omega had never once corrected them.
Furthermore, along with the news was the detailed information mostly about Daniel and Laotian's married relationship. Their dating status, when they've gotten married, how old was the first heir, and as to even ask where they've met and started falling in love.
But of course, at this part, Hanlu had to tell a lie. He made up a very webnovel-like story, so unrealistic Daniel and Laotian were surprised how people were able to believe it so easily.
Daniel scanned his phone and read some discussions about the latest news. He doesn't really read discussions before since he was not interested in them. He always just liked to view pictures in his leisure time, but since he's curious about what people thought of his relationship with the Alpha, he scanned for discussions from Reddit and Quora.
Daniel was looking for a while and when he found a popular topic he was interested in, he quickly clicked on it and started reading.
"OMG!!! Mr. Mo is such a romantic man. He just saw his wife in the rain and he fell in love at first sight. And since he didn't know when they're going to meet again, he had to offer him his umbrella. And when Mr. Mo got close, his wife had actually known him from one of the events hosted by the Sullens and was already in love with him. KYAAAA! It's so wonderful! They are so meant for each other!"
"So true, but since Daniel Sullen was shy, he didn't admit at first so Mr. Mo had to chase him and one year later, finally, he said yes. OMG! I wish I have a man chasing after me like Mr. Mo did to his wife."
"Yeah me too, they're so in love with each other that they've gotten married two weeks later. I mean who does that? They must have been so in love. And then another two weeks later we have our first baby Minmin!!! Did you see the photo? He was so cute! Figures, since both mom and dad were beyond attractive."
"AHHH! I want that to happen to me as well. But minus the part where Daniel Sullen was being bullied by his own twin sister. I wonder what she did that she end up in jail. I heard rumors she killed someone."
"It hasn't been disclosed yet but people who were at the scene where she was arrested said it was murder and accessory for r a p e. I shivered just imagining her killing someone. She looks very nice in her social media."
"Oh yeah, I've read some discussions about it as well. Poor Daniel Sullen, he's my school mate and I always find him with a smiling face. Smiles truly hides the pain. Who would thought he's being bullied. I wonder why?"
"Doesn't it because he's an Omega? The Sullens is a prominent Alpha Family, I wouldn't be surprised if he's being discriminated because of his gender. Although there had been so many Omegas now, discrimination against them is still existent."
"Oh yeah! I wouldn't be surprised if that's really the reason. Poor him. Us Betas are so privileged. We don't have to go through that. Life is really cruel."
"The Mos is also an all Alpha Family, I remember Mr. Mo being known as someone who hated Omegas. Thankfully, he fell in love."
"Correction, Mr. Mo don't hate Omegas. He doesn't discriminate them, it's just that he doesn't want to be near one since he's a dominant Alpha. They're very rare and they're sensitive to the pheromones. I know this because Mr. Mo hires Omegas in his facilities as long as they're capable. If he hated them, he wouldn't want an Omega in his company."
"Oh yes, I heard it too. He's really a good man despite all the magazines are writing about him."
These are some of the comments in the discussions and Daniel was happy enough that people seemed to believe the news despite that some information given to the public was ridiculous.
He's also very happy that no one was against them so far, although Daniel already thought in the beginning that he wouldn't care what people would think of him, in the end, he knew negative comments will somehow make him feel sad.
He was not very confident. He's a timid person growing up with only his mother as his best friend. When he lived with the Sullens, his self-esteem worsened due to the fact that he knew he was not being accepted in the family no matter how much effort he puts into making their relationship work.
Thankfully, since he's from a prominent family as well, added the fact that his grandfather gave him 29% shares of the Sullen Corporation. Although he was still doubtful with handling such wealth, but because of it, people were very accepting that he ended up with Mo Laotian.
Daniel was still scanning discussions in Quora when his phone suddenly rang, and Paul Hymlyn's caller ID flashed on the screen. Daniel was not planning to save Paul's number, he was even planning to block it. But because he honored the times he had with the Alpha, Daniel decided to forgive him.
He also knew the Alpha was most likely being deceived by Daniella the whole time and thought it was enough punishment to the Alpha for hurting him before.
Daniel stared a couple more seconds on his screen before he finally decided to accept it, maybe this time Alpha had better things to say compared the last time.
Pressing the green icon, Daniel brought his device against his ear. " Hello?" he uttered, his voice was soft that it rang musically to the Alpha's ear. Paul instantly remembered all those nights he spent with Omega just laying next to each other, talking about random things.
It was actually the happiest and most peaceful times of his life. If he could just turn back time, he would have chosen to stay with him but alas, it was too late, now, he just wanted to ask forgiveness and say his goodbyes.
"Hi," Paul answered nervously, he knew he had hurt Daniel and wronged him the last he called.
"Hi," Daniel replied, a soft frown formed between his brows as he wondered why the Alpha was calling. Daniel waited for Paul's next words but none was audible. He waited patiently for the Alpha to talk until he heard a sigh from his side.
"Do you have something to say?" Daniel asked breaking the silence, he already have ideas but he didn't want to be suggestive. Although he had already forgiven him, it will be the Alpha's choice if he wanted to ask.
"Yes, Uhmm... I j-just want to say that... I'm sorry! I was wrong and I've hurt you," Paul started, he sounded so nervous that Daniel found it very unfamiliar. Unlike his timid personality, Paul was actually a person with pride and confidence. He speaks when he thought he's right and ask forgiveness if he was wrong.
Up until now, Paul's image as a gentle and good man hasn't been erased in Daniel's mind. He knew Paul was still the same and that Daniella was his only mistake.
"I know what I did to you was a huge mistake. You were so good to me but I did that to you. You don't have to forgive me now or ever, but I-I just hope that you'll find it in your heart to forgive me someday... I'm also very sorry about what had happened to you and Daniella, I can't tell you how sorry I am for trusting her over you who I had been with for years. I'm really sorry." Paul added. Daniel remained silent, he felt like the Alpha had more to say.
"Uhmm, I'm about to board a plane to the UK, I've decided to leave the country and study abroad but I didn't want to leave without asking forgiveness and saying goodbye. So... Goodbye Daniel. I hope when the time comes, we can be friends." Paul ended and Daniel immediately understood why the Alpha decided to leave.
What had happened to him was tragic, he had loved Daniella but he was only used and made as the second choice. He was lied to and cheated on. As an Alpha from a prominent family, he needed to lie low and heal. Remove himself from this embarrassment.
"Paul..." Daniel called with a smile. He can never truly hate Paul. He was really good at Daniel when they were together, they were like very good friends in their relationship and Daniel thought it won't be bad to become one.
"Yes,"
"I already forgave you. You can call me anytime you want. I understand why you decided to leave so I'll give you my full support. Have a good life in the UK and please this time, find someone who's not insane." Daniel said with a chuckle. Paul also laughs with the remark, he felt so light that he decided to call Daniel before he leaves.
If he didn't, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
"Yeah, okay... Thank you, Daniel." Paul uttered with a smile. They continued to chat more until it was time for him to leave. He promised one day he'd meet Daniel again and be a very good friend that the Omega can rely on.
