The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ONE WEEK LATER~

The Miller and the Davies family were both busy for today's special occasion. Tonight was the engagement party of Hannah and Andrew. It was held in one of the prestigious and luxurious hotels in the empire city, The Sky Ranch Palace Hotel.

Hannah and Andrew wanted it to be simple but Mr. and Mrs. Miller didn't agree. They said it was a joyous celebration so it should be a grand and splendid party for the couple.

Hannah and Andrew had no choice but to fulfill her parents' wishes. Lucas and Isabelle didn't oppose the idea as they also gave their full support to Andrew.

Their parents helped them with the preparation. The event organizers they hired kept things romantic. They wanted every guest to mingle, and the couple's relatives to get to know each other.

The decorations of the venue were very sophisticated. They added flowers, a banner with the couples name and sweet pictures on it, and different scented candles as part of the table decorations. It seemed like a great preview of their wedding, which would happen three months from now.

They invited a lot of guests, most of them were family close friends, distant relatives, and other influential people and personalities in the City of Empire. All the members of Davies and Miller's family were also present.

To enhance the mood of the party, they invited some performers for entertainment. Soft music was playing in the background. They got a good pianist, violinist, and vocalist singers. Aside from that, they also opened the venue for all reporters and media representatives to cover the happenings during the Engagement Party.

The reporters were expecting a good show tonight. They were waiting and anticipating for Tristan Davies to make an appearance tonight. They were curious if he would still come despite the scandal of him, trying to break the couple apart.

They were curious about Tristan's reaction after seeing his brother and the woman he loved were being engaged tonight. For them, it would be an interesting show to watch. They were also wondering if Tristan would make a commotion just to ruin his brother's engagement party.

Their cameras were all set to capture that scene if ever it would happen tonight. They failed to get Tristan's statement about his scandal. He went into hiding, away from the public eyes.

At first, they thought Tristan was removed from his CEO position because of his scandal since they had not seen him coming in the Heavenly Star Enterprise in the past few weeks. Later on, they found out that Tristan took a one month leave of absence. Now, everyone was so eager to see Tristan Davies after he disappeared for one month.

It was already 7:00 o'clock in the evening, most of the invited guests were already present in the venue. The foods and drinks for tonight's special menu were also served at each table. The performers were currently entertaining the guests as they waited for the couple to arrive.

It did not take long when the main door of the banquet hall was opened. Then it followed by the announcement of the host regarding the arrival of the couple. Everyone averted their gaze on the entrance door. After a few seconds, Andrew and Hannah entered the banquet hall, walking side by side while holding each other's hands.

The guests couldn't help but admire the beautiful couple in front of them. They really looked good together. They were both in white. Andrew was so gorgeous in his white three-piece formal suit while Hannah was so elegant with her white gold engagement dress. Her dress had a strapless style featuring a gold lace applique and sweetheart neckline. The dress hugged her waist accentuating her body.

They were walking inside the hall with a cheerful and loving expression on their faces as they stared at each other. They immediately greeted everyone with their gentle smiles, thanking them for coming for tonight's special occasion.

The reporters grabbed this opportunity to take photos of the lovely couple and congratulate them. They also asked them a few questions regarding how they felt and how excited they were for tonight's party.

Andrew and Hannah gave them simple and brief answers. They were glad that the reporters didn't bring up the topic of Tristan. But unknown to the couple, most of the invited reporters were already instructed by Mr. Miller not to pester the couple.

Mr. Miller used his connection to bribe most of the invited reporters. He had a hidden motive for letting them in. He told them that they must target Tristan the moment he would arrive at the venue and threw him the hottest and controversial issue he was currently facing.

Aside from those reporters, Mark and Daniel also paid someone to pretend as a reporter in order to humiliate Tristan in front of more than four hundred guests. Their scheming against Tristan didn't stop. They wanted to drag him down until he would not be able to rise again and fix his ruined reputation.

Meanwhile, after greeting the guests, Hannah and Andrew immediately proceeded to the table where Grandpa Lu and their parents were gathered. Hannah and Andrew politely greeted the elders.

"Oh, my dear daughter is really a grown-up now, getting engaged tonight, and soon she will get married." Mrs. Miller said emotionally while hugging Hannah.

Hannah could only giggle with her mother's remarks. "Don't worry Mom, nothing will change. I will still visit you always."

"Better to take good care of our daughter, Andrew." Mr. Miller reminded Andrew.

"Yes, sir. I will do that," Andrew promptly responded.

"Call me Dad," Mr. Miller insisted. Andrew just nodded with a grateful smile.

"Congratulations, son!" Lucas greeted Andrew while tapping his shoulder.

"Thanks, Dad."

While everyone was greeting the couple happily, Grandpa Lu remained silent in his seat with his ugly and serious-looking expression. It was Isabelle who noticed Grandpa Lu so she asked him.

"Father, what's wrong?" Isabelle asked Grandpa Lu curiously. Lucas, Hannah's parents, and the couple immediately averted their gaze to Grandpa Lu who was in a foul mood.

"Where is Tristan? The couple is already here but that punk is not yet around. Don't tell me he planned not to attend this important family gathering? Lucas… Call him already! Call that stubborn son of yours, or else, I will have to drag him myself to this venue." Grandpa Lu said with his stern cold voice.

Everyone fell silent after hearing the angry voice of Davies Patriarchal. Lucas and Isabelle exchanged meaningful glances with each other. Now, they worried about their son, Tristan. It looked like he unintentionally angered his grandpa once again for being late tonight.

They didn't know why he had not arrived yet. Tristan assured them that he would come tonight. Did he change his mind?

"Alright, Father. I will call him now." Lucas said, before picking his phone and dialing Tristan's number.

"Father, calm down. I know Tristan will come. He promised us. Maybe something happened that's why he is not yet around." Isabelle said, trying to appease Grandpa Lu.

Hannah, Andrew, and Hannah's parents had different reactions after hearing Tristan's name. A few seconds later, they heard someone mentioning that Tristan Davies had arrived.

Hannah and Andrew, as well as Grandpa Lu and their parents, shifted their gaze in the direction of the entrance door.
