"YES! She's My Wife! Now I give you my answer. So let us pass! Don't block our way!"
Everyone in the hall was quite shaken after hearing Tristan's declaration that Zhen-Zhen was his wife. He just confirmed it. Tristan Davis was married to a very beautiful maiden named Lillie Meyer.
Now, the question was how and when it happened. Now new speculation was formed in their mind. Was that the reason why Tristan disappeared for one month? Did he marry Lillie Meyer secretly and went on vacation for a whole month?
Other people began to change their minds and corrected their wrong assumptions. By just watching Tristan, they could tell that he didn't look heartbroken at all regarding Hannah and Andrew's engagement.
Now they began to question if the scandal that Tristan schemed to break the couple apart was true. They could see how Tristan was very protective of his wife Lillie. And Lillie Meyer was so beautiful that any man would fall for her, including Tristan.
Their bad impression of Tristan a while ago immediately disappeared in an instant. They even admired him for being sweet with his wife, acting like a gentleman as he protected her against those pesky reporters.

Finally, they had created the path for the husband and wife. Tristan immediately pulled Zhen-Zhen, away from the crowd, going to the front table that was reserved for all the members of the Davis Family.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen had already settled down at their table but Grandpa Lu, Tristan's parents, Hannah's parents, and others as well as the couple who was celebrating their engagement today were frozen and stayed rooted in their current spot.
They had not recovered their wits yet after hearing Tristan's last remarks. They were still in doubt whether Tristan was telling the truth or he was just bluffing. Maybe he said that to shut up the reporters who kept on pestering them. They were in denial, most especially Hannah and Andrew.
It was only more than a month when Lillie tried to seduce Andrew. Then suddenly they would hear the news that Tristan and Lillie got married. For them, it was unbelievable. The couple was still in deep thoughts when Mr. and Mrs. Miller approached them.
"Dear, that woman with Tristan, is that the same Lillie who tried to seduce Andrew in Oceaniz City?" Mrs. Miller asked them, wanted to confirm it.
Andrew just nodded his head, he was having complicated emotions as of this moment. He was unprepared to see that woman once again. Worst case, this happened during his engagement party.
Hannah, on the other hand, spoke up to answer her mother. "Yes, Mother. She's the woman I met in Oceaniz City."
Hannah couldn't explain why but she felt a pang of pain deep down her heart as Tristan's last words kept on replaying on her mind. The bright and cheerful expression she had when she entered the banquet hall a while ago was now replaced by a saddened expression.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Miller gasped in surprise, covering her mouth using her hands after hearing Hannah's confirmation. She didn't expect that Lillie was really a charming and very attractive woman. She didn't want to admit it but that was the fact.
Mr. Miller was now in a foul mood as well. The attention of the media and other reporters have diverted away from the scandal of Tristan. This was not what he wanted. It seemed that Tristan had redeemed himself once again because of his shocking news.
'D@mn! He is still lucky tonight!' Mr. Miller mumbled inwardly while clenching his fists.
Isabelle and Lucas didn't waste their time as they followed Tristan and Lillie. They wanted to ask Tristan and confirmed whether he was telling the truth or not. If it was true then they were eager to know his explanation of why he didn't inform them about his marriage. Why he married without informing his family?
Among them, it was Grandpa Lu who maintained his poker face. His expression was unreadable. But it was now better compared to his dark and angry expression a while ago. He also started to move from his spot, going to the table where Tristan brought Zhen-Zhen.
"What the hell had just happened here?" Mark asked Daniel exasperatedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't know men… everything went wrong the moment that Lillie appeared tonight. I thought everything was going well according to our plan. Tristan's face was saved just like that?! Because he married a beautiful woman. Wait… are they really married? Tristan was in love with Hannah. I think they were just bluffing. Or maybe they had a deal. Tristan won't marry a woman aside from Hannah! He was madly in love with Hannah." Daniel shared his thoughts with his cousin.
"Well, there's only one way to find out…" Mark said while eyeing Daniel meaningfully.
"Yeah, I agree. Hahaha. We are thinking about the same thing." Daniel said, agreeing to his cousin.
Then the two of them averted their gaze to Tristan, most especially to Zhen-Zhen. The way they looked at her had some kind of hidden and ill-motive that the two of them only knew. They started plotting once again.
While those two evil cousins were busy scheming, the twins, Jake and Blake, dashed towards the direction of Matthew the moment they spotted him. In a brief moment, they reached Matthew and they cornered him, not letting him get away this time. They needed some answers and they knew Matthew could satisfy their curious mind.
"Hey Matt, hehehe caught you," Jake said, wrapping his arms around Mathew's shoulders.
Blake stood in front of Matthew, folding his arms across his chest while lifting an eyebrow.
"Matt, spill it out. What do you know about this? About this marriage of our dear cousin Tristan with a very beautiful lady, Lillie. Is it true?" Blake started to interrogate Matthew.
Matthew just shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly before answering Blake. "It's true. Tristan just got married to Lillie."
After saying that, Matthew showed them his phone. On that screen, they could see the photo of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen, smiling together while holding a copy of their marriage certificates.
"Oh hell… he's not kidding nor bluffing! Tristan got married!" the twins exclaimed in unison.
