Clifford could feel the tension running throughout his body. He didn't want to admit it but he was so worried and a little bit afraid of meeting Zhen-Zhen today.

He was wondering whether she came to see him to apologize on Tristan's behalf just like what she did when he filed a complaint against Bianca… or she came here because Tristan had told her about the picture.

Clifford kept pacing back and forth across his office while waiting for Zhen-Zhen. The anxiety could be seen in his actions.

He was grabbing and playing a pen on his hand just to release the tension. His heart was beating fast because of nervousness.

He kept wondering if he did the right thing or not. Did he become so greedy? His reckless action… Was it a great mistake?

He let his negative emotions take over him, making him do something without considering the consequences of his actions.

Clifford suddenly came to halt when he heard the knocking sound of his door. It was the staff who escorted Zhen-Zhen to his office.

Clifford glanced at the closed door, trying to calm himself. He needed to act naturally in front of her.

Taking a deep breath, Clifford finally allowed the staff to open the door and enter his office.

"Come in."

After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen's figure walked inside as soon as the door was opened.

His heart raced even faster when he finally saw her face which was void of any emotion. Unlike before, the charming and friendly smile on Zhen-Zhen's face was nowhere to be seen.

Clifford was used to seeing Zhen-Zhen smiling back at him whenever they would see each other. But this time, it was different.

He could feel the unfriendly vibe coming from Zhen-Zhen. His gaze was fixed on her. When she was already inside, the staff said goodbye to Clifford before leaving and closing the door.

Bam.

The sound of the closing door was followed by a deafening silence. Both Clifford and Zhen-Zhen were still standing while facing each other.

After a while, Clifford had decided to speak first.

"Lillie, what brings you here? Did you come to apologize for your husband's action?"

Clifford didn't know why but those words just came out of his mouth since he was so anxious right now.

Unknowingly, the words he said had triggered Zhen-Zhen more. The next thing that happened surprised Clifford to the core, not only him but also Tristan and FaMo who were secretly watching them.

Pak!

A crisp sound of a palm smacking a face was heard inside the office. Zhen-Zhen slapped Clifford hard on his left cheek.

Fortunately, Zhen-Zhen had sealed her power before entering Clifford's office. She was afraid that her unstable emotions might cause her to hurt Clifford using her super-strength and power.

It was like a slap coming from an ordinary human, still, it hurt Clifford a lot, not only physically but also emotionally.

Clifford was still in a state of shock, not moving in his spot as he raised his hand to touch his face that was hit by Zhen-Zhen's hand.

It stung… but Clifford couldn't bring himself to get mad at her. He felt like he was awakened by this slap. He came to realize that he did a terrible mistake.

"I will not apologize for that. Tristan beat you. And I know… you also know that you deserve it," Zhen-Zhen said with her stern cold voice.

Clifford's heart clenched inside his chest the moment he heard her cold angry voice. She was always soft-spoken. But now, the Zhen-Zhen in front of him was different.

He reflexively balled his hands into fists while gritting his teeth. He was not angry at her. He was angry at himself.

Clifford remained silent as Zhen-Zhen continued speaking her feelings and expressing her thoughts.

"I hate you for inflicting emotional pain to Tristan for using me. Did you know that your selfish action almost cost him his life? I will never forgive you if something bad happens to him."

FaMo informed Zhen-Zhen what happened to Tristan last night. He told him that Tristan was almost hit by a speeding car.

Fortunately, he came on time to save him. If not, then he would find Tristan either in the hospital operating room or morgue.

Zhen-Zhen's unhappiness and anger towards Clifford were heightened after knowing what happened. She would lose her mind if ever Tristan got badly hurt and die.

She might go on a rampage and create chaos in this world because of the anger and sorrow of losing Tristan. That's what she thought when she heard everything.

Aside from being betrayed and taking advantage of by Clifford, her main concern was Tristan's safety. She was furious at Clifford because of that.

Meanwhile, Tristan was still watching the happenings inside Clifford's office with his unblinking eyes.

He couldn't believe that Zhen-Zhen could really slap Clifford. She was also looking so mad right now.

His heart skipped a beat when he heard Zhen-Zhen's words. He was touched because he could feel her love and concern for him. She was defending and protecting him.

Tristan felt an overwhelming happiness seeing how Zhen-Zhen was treating Clifford right now. She was not the sweet Zhen-Zhen in front of Clifford now.

If he would put himself in Clifford's shoes, he didn't know if he could still handle Zhen-Zhen's hatred and anger.

At that certain moment, Tristan also knew that Clifford really fucked up this time. If Tristan was a fool then Clifford was dumber because he just ruined a beautiful friendship he could have with Zhen-Zhen.

After a few seconds, Tristan spoke to FaMo.

"Father-in-law, I… I honestly didn't expect that you would tell Zhen-Zhen about that incident when I almost got hit by a car."

"I decided to keep it from her so that she would no longer worry. Why did you tell her?" Tristan asked FaMo.

Even in his fireball form, FaMo could still talk to Tristan.

"Well, I am pissed because I can't teach that scumbag a lesson by myself. Aside from that, I was afraid that Zhen-Zhen would still be kindhearted and soft-hearted once she talked to him."

"I know you are one of Zhen-Zhen's bottom lines so I decided to tell her so that she would be more enraged and hate Clifford more. With that, Zhen-Zhen would not be forgiving anymore."

"That punk doesn't deserve Zhen-Zhen's mercy and kindness!"

Tristan glanced at FaMo with awe.

'Wow, my father-in-law is so clever! Scary! I applaud him!'
