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

Clifford was very satisfied after seeing Tristan's reaction. It seemed that his provocation was working.

Tristan looked mad and annoyed right now. His face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

However, Tristan maintained to be civil toward Clifford. He didn't want to create a scene there. They were still in a public place… in the vicinity of the City Hall.

What would the Mayor think of them if they started throwing punches at each other?

Tristan closed his eyes and took a very deep breath to calm himself. But Clifford didn't stop mocking him.

"A guy like you who treats women as objects that can be added to your collections… will never ever deserve pure love from a girl like Lillie."

Tristan had never felt insulted like this before. Clifford's words were like arrows shooting his heart right now.

He admitted that he was a total jerk before. But he already changed. He also deserved a second chance, right?

Clifford laughed again as Tristan remained silent.

"Truth hurts, am I right, Mr. Davis? Are you mad because you are affected by my words?"

Tristan clenched his teeth while looking daggers at Clifford.

"Oh, I could still remember how proud you were when I confronted you before about your relationship with my ex-fiancee."

Clifford gave Tristan a smug smile. "You never felt even a tiny bit of guilt after ruining our relationship. You even told me that it's my fault for not satisfying my woman."

"Are you that proud? Sleeping with other men's women?" Clifford said with so much sarcasm in his voice.

Tristan had just realized that he never apologized to Clifford. Yes, that thing happened. Clifford came to him, confronting him like a madman before.

Clifford was truly hurt by his fiancee's betrayal. Instead of apologizing and explaining to Clifford before, Tristan just acted as if it was not a big deal.

Now, he regretted how he treated Clifford back then. He couldn't blame him if Clifford hated him to the core.

After his long silence, Tristan finally found his voice to speak to him.

"I know it's too late but… I wanna say sorry about that. Back then… I didn't know how you feel. I was so ignorant." Tristan tried to lower his pride as he apologized to Clifford.

Clifford was taken aback for a moment. Tristan just continued speaking.

"I should have cleared things between us before. I should have never let your hatred towards me grow like this. I'm really sorry."

A cold glint flashed through Clifford's eyes as he ground his teeth. It was already too late. He didn't need his apology now.

"Believe me or not, it was not my intention to ruin your relationship. I know this may sound like an excuse to you but the truth was I didn't know that she was your fiancee."

"Your ex-fiancee and I-"

Tristan was not able to finish his words as Clifford cut him off immediately.

"Stop it already. I don't want to hear your explanation. You can't change the fact that you just loved hooking up with any woman. Is it fun playing with them like a toy?"

"I already changed! I'm not that kind of person anymore." Tristan insisted. Clifford's words were getting into his nerves now.

He tried to be patient with him and solve this in a peaceful manner by talking to him. But Clifford seemed like he already closed his eyes and ears to Tristan.

He would never listen to Tristan's explanation nor accept Tristan's apology. Clifford chose to become stubborn.

"I think this is enough. You already took my precious time, Mr. Davis." After saying that, Clifford decided to leave without waiting for Tristan to say another word.

However, before he left, Clifford gave Tristan another message with a hidden meaning.

"Congratulations on your Married life, Mr. Casanova. I wonder how long you will be happy and stay in love with your wife."

"Oh, just to give you friendly advice… don't you ever forget the word Karma… what have you done to others… might come back to you…"

After saying that, Clifford left Tristan without looking back. Tristan didn't know why but he had a bad feeling about this.

'Why do I feel so nervous right now? What is he planning to do? Argh! I should warn Zhen-Zhen. She should avoid Clifford.'

Tristan just sighed deeply, watching Clifford's back until he vanished from his sight.

Soon, Tristan went back to the Heavenly Star Enterprise. He became busy with work. But he made sure to check his wife from time to time by calling and texting her.

Zhen-Zhen just finished her check-up. The Davis Family doctor examined her and the result was normal. Nothing wrong with her health and her baby's health. Both of them were very healthy.

Tristan felt relieved after hearing that update from his mother, Isabelle. She was with Zhen-Zhen during her check-up.

Tristan continued working, handling all the preparation for the upcoming big event during the Centennial Year Celebration of the City of Empire.

Tristan was inside his office when Matthew entered, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Tristan, I think you need to see this," Matthew said with his anxious voice.

Tristan stopped what he was doing and glanced at Matthew confusedly. He frowned when he saw the newspaper in Matthew's hand.

"What is it?"

Matthew sighed helplessly before handing the newspaper to Tristan. He scanned it, reading the article.

It did not take long when Tristan's expression became ugly. He looked mad as he crumpled the newspaper in his hand.

With his angry voice, he commanded Matthew. "Take this picture down as soon as possible! Which Media Network published this article??!"

"Morning Star News…" Matthew replied.

"Matthew! Use all our influence to take this article down! Block this no matter what!!!" Tristan was furious.

Matthew just nodded his head and followed Tristan's order with urgency. He left Tristan's office in a hurry.

"Clifford Sy!!! How dare you drag my wife in this?! I already warned you just a few hours ago!"
