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

Tristan, Zhen-Zhen, Grandpa Lu, and the twins were still talking in the living room when Mark and Daniel arrived.

Well, the two evil cousins were temporarily staying at the Davis Family Mansion as if they were freeloaders. They were penniless right now so they were grabbing this opportunity to stay at the Davis Family Mansion.

Their parents won't help them anyway because of the warning from the elders. But it was so ironic since they were currently staying at the house of the person who punished them.

Their sudden arrival interrupted the conversation of Grandpa Lu, Zhen-Zhen, and Tristan.

Mark and Daniel were holding two large plastic bags containing some items. Those were the materials and props they would be using for Tristan's surprise.

Upon seeing Zhen-Zhen in the living room, they immediately hid the two plastic bags behind them so that Zhen-Zhen would not see the materials.

The two cousins were puzzled seeing the serious atmosphere in the living room, clueless about the incident that happened today.

"Good evening, Grandpa Lu, cousins, Lillie… just continue your conversation. Don't mind us. We will now go to our room. See you later," Mark said awkwardly before signaling Daniel to leave.

Grandpa Lu sighed deeply seeing those two troublesome cousins of Tristan. Because of their interruption, Grandpa Lu lost the momentum.

"Alright, I think this is a conflict between you, young ones. I know I should not intervene here. You can handle this yourselves. I will not ask you anymore. But if ever you need my help, just don't hesitate to tell me, okay?" Grandpa Lu said, ending the conversation.

"I think we should have our dinner now. Lillie should eat on time. Little Davis might be hungry now." Grandpa Lu's mood brightened up at the mention of Little Davis.

"Blake, Jake, join us before you go home. Call those two punks as well. Tell them we will have our dinner already," Grandpa Lu commanded the twins.

"Come, Lillie. Accompany this old man going to the dining area."

Zhen-Zhen also stood up, following Grandpa Lu as they went to the dining hall. Lucas and Isabelle were already serving the food together with the maids.

Tristan felt relieved when Grandpa Lu didn't insist on asking the reason why he beat Clifford.

It's best for everyone if the elders won't be involved with their conflicts. He was still worried about tomorrow. Zhen-Zhen would confront Clifford and she requested him not to tag along.

Besides, the Sy Corp guards would not let him inside the company because of what he had done to their CEO.

During dinner, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen acted normally as if the issue with Clifford didn't happen. Isabelle had mentioned about the video but Grandpa Lu stopped everyone from discussing those ugly things during the meal.

Later at night, Tristan kept tossing and turning around their bed. He couldn't sleep. He was still bothered by tomorrow's happenings since Zhen-Zhen would go alone to see Clifford.

In the end, Tristan just spent his night watching over his wife.

*****

The next morning, the commotion that happened inside Clifford's office was still the hot news in the online world.

Reporters were trying to get statements from both sides but Tristan and Clifford remained tight lips.

The Sy Corp only announced that they would give another statement two days from now. Clifford was not showing his face to the public as well.

On the other hand, Heavenly Star Enterprise didn't release any statements regarding their CEO's action. Grandpa Lu warned everyone not to mention anything about the incident. It's better to keep their silence. It was a personal matter. The company should not get involved.

Because the two sides refused to give further statements, the netizens and the media started to speculate about the real reason for Tristan's and Clifford's conflict.

The past grudge was brought up, mentioning the love triangle between Tristan, Olive, and Clifford. They speculated that this conflict might either be related to the past conflict or a new one. Then Olive and Lillie became the talk of the town.

Are the men in conflict because of Olive? Or because of Lillie? Will history repeat itself? This time around the situation was reversed.

Seeing the news articles, Tristan became more anxious. The people started to create their own speculations and assumptions based on the incident.

The Sy Corp's timeline of giving another statement in the next two days was a clear indication that Clifford was reminding Tristan of his threat.

Clifford told him that if he refused to fulfill his demand then he would spread those scandalous pictures on the internet.

Tristan kept pacing back and forth in the living room. FaMo felt like he would get a headache if he continued watching Tristan's movement. Just seeing him walking back and forth made FaMo dizzy.

"Can you please stop doing that, Tristan?" FaMo said in a low voice. He was back to being a talking cat.

"Father-in-law, if Zhen-Zhen will not be able to stop Clifford from spreading those scandalous pictures even after talking to him, what is our alternative plan?" Tristan consulted him. He sat down on the sofa next to FaMo.

"Don't worry! If the peaceful talk will not work, then we will do it the hard way. I will use force and threaten that scheming scumbag!" FaMo declared, reassuring Tristan.

Tristan could only sigh deeply. "I will leave it to you then father-in-law! We have to protect my wife at all costs!"

"Tristan, your wife is not weak. She will learn from her mistakes. I know she will become wiser next time. She will not let these things happen again in the future. She will become wary of others."

Tristan couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhen-Zhen. He knew she was really affected by Clifford's actions. She treated him as her good friend but he broke her trust by doing this kind of dirty trick.

"Father-in-law, do you think Zhen-Zhen will be alright after this? Sigh. I'm so worried. I'm still not at ease because she is alone. But I had no choice, she insisted on going there by herself."

FaMo finally stood up.

"Alright! Stop worrying too much. Come with me. Let's go to your room. Even though we are not there in the Sy Corp, I have a way for us to know what is happening there."

"Let's do some spying!"
