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

Tristan was clapping in his mind after hearing those words from Matthew. He was commending him for that. 

'Whoah, that's my assistant… my best friend! I am proud of you, men! I will reward you after this. My wife and I will surely help you win Sophia's heart to make her your real girlfriend.' Tristan made that mental note while rubbing his chin.

Sophia could no longer stand this. She just wanted to hide. She didn't understand why Matthew was doing this. But deep inside, she was getting affected by his words. Even she, herself, almost believed his words.

'Am I the 'Sophia' he is talking about right now? Can the ground open up for me? I really want to hide. I feel so embarrassed,' Sophia thought to herself while biting her lower lip. Her cheeks were scarlet red from blushing too much.

Marcus clenched his fists as he felt insulted by Matthew's words. He had the urge to punch him right now and vent out his anger and frustration.

Lester held Marcus' shoulder to calm him down. He felt that Marcus was furious and got affected by Matthew's taunting words. 

Matthew didn't restrain himself from talking too much even though the Guidance Counselor was there with them.

He intended to provoke Marcus in an insulting and contemptuous manner. If they would lose their composure now then they would look bad to the Guidance Counselor. They needed to maintain their cool.

But Matthew was not yet done with his attack. He wanted to protect Sophia from Marcus and his friends. He needed to ensure that they would pay for what they did to Sophia.

"Here… the proof you are asking me for," Matthew said, handing his phone over to Marcus.

Marcus frowned but he accepted Matthew's phone.

"Just like what I said… I was there with her while she was doing her makeover before she met you that day. See for yourself. That's my proof. I was aware that Sophia was with you at that time."

Marcus' grip on the phone tightened after seeing the proof Matthew was talking about. A video recording was playing on Matthew's phone. In the video, they could see that Matthew was putting a necklace on Sophia's neck.

The video was taken in a parlor. There was a CCTV camera in the waiting area of the Parlor owned by the personal Stylist of the Davis Family. Matthew called the head stylist, Lorenzo, and asked him a favor.

Matthew didn't explain everything to Lorenzo but he complied with his request immediately. He was the one who sent the short video clip to Matthew. 

The video was only focused on Matthew and Sophia. He made sure to cut Zhen-Zhen and Tristan in the video.

At that certain moment, Marcus confirmed that Matthew was, indeed, with Sophia that day. There were dates and times on the right corner of the video. The same date when he went on a date with Sophia. Sophia's dress and looks were also the same in the video.

Marcus didn't know how to feel about this. He could see the smile on Sophia's face as she looked at Matthew on the video. They were acting very close and… sweet.

Meanwhile, Mary and the Guidance Counselor just exchanged glances with one another. They were also curious to see the video on Matthew's phone.

The Guidance Counselor cleared his throat to catch their attention.

"Ahem… Marcus, can I have the phone? I wanna see it," The Guidance Counselor simply said, concealing the eagerness and curiosity in his eyes.

Mary also took a peek to see what's on the phone. She gasped in surprise.

 "Oh my, I think Mr. Wilkins is saying the truth. If not, then how would you explain this? They were together and looked like they already knew each other," Mary blurted out after watching the video.

This time Tristan spoke up to support Matthew's claim. "Mr. Guidance Counselor and Miss Vice President of the Student Council… Actually, that's the reason why I brought Matthew with me. He told me that his girlfriend was attending an Acquaintance Party for the first time. He wanted to surprise her by coming with me that night."

"As you all know, my grandfather was the only invited guest that night. But I asked for his help so that Matthew and I could attend the party as well."

"I didn't expect that unfortunate incident would happen. Now I understand why my friend asked me to bring him with me. He knew that his girlfriend would attract men's attention and he just wanted to protect her."

Tristan heaved a sigh of disappointment while shaking his head.

Sophia: "..."

Matthew: "..."

Tristan's act was also very convincing. Now, everyone inside the office believed that Sophia and Matthew were both in a relationship.

It did not take long when Ryan, the president of the Student Council, arrived at the office with the CCTV recordings taken in the Queen's Hall.

The Guidance Counselor felt grateful for Ryan's arrival. The tension inside his office was growing by the seconds.

"Right timing, let's check the footage," The Guidance Counselor sat down on his table and opened his laptop. He inserted the flash drive and played the recordings.

A few minutes later, the Guidance Counselor finished watching the footage. He saw that John and Lester kept on going back and forth the Queen's Hall as they were the ones who prepared everything. The surprise was their idea, not Marcus.

The Guidance Counselor took note of a few important things. He saw in the video that John and Lester were the ones who brought the champagne and the other food. 

It was the same bottle of Champagne he saw that Matthew was holding when he was carrying Sophia in his arms.

From that alone, the Guidance Counselor could tell that Matthew was not lying. After watching the whole video, the Guidance Counselor could somehow grasp the situation. 

Though John and Lester kept on denying it, they were still the most suspicious among them.

"Marcus, I will ask you one last time. Tell me what you know about this," The Guidance Counselor asked him with so much seriousness in his voice.

Marcus glanced at Sophia who was still avoiding him. She didn't even take a glance at him even once since the moment he entered that office. 

He felt like an invisible person in front of her. He didn't want to feel hurt but he couldn't help it.

He clenched his fists as the anger inside him was consuming him.

'Why do I feel betray after knowing that Sophia and Matthew are in a relationship? I should not feel this! Why do I care? I just did it because of our bet. Sophia does not mean anything to me.' Marcus tried to console himself.

'Why does it look like I was the one being played by Sophia? Is she faking it too? Why does she let me get close to her in the past few days?' Marcus was still wondering at that thoughts.

While he was in his deep thoughts, the memories of his intimate moment with Sophia crossed his mind….her lips, her taste.. the sweetness of her kiss.

At that certain moment, he made a decision.

"Sir, I will tell you the truth. As I said, I had no idea about that drug. I didn't spike Sophia's drink…"

"John and Lester were the ones who did it behind my back."

John: 'What the F*ck is he doing?!'

Lester: "..."
