Chapter 474 - Who Is Their New Model?
Grandpa Lu and Tristan's parents also arrived at the venue. As Chairman of the Heavenly Star Enterprise, the reporters interviewed Grandpa Lu about the product they would be showcasing tonight.
However, Grandpa Lu remained tight-lipped about that. He never gave them details. He just told them to watch out and wait for the event to start.
The reporters didn't dare bring up the topic of Angelique's banning. They were afraid of offending Chairman Lu. He was still very influential and powerful that almost everyone in the City of Empire respected and admired him.
Intimidated by his imposing aura, the reporters didn't bother Grandpa Lu for long. They just decided to get Tristan's statement about his thoughts regarding Angelique Rioz.
They wondered why Tristan Davis didn't come together with his grandfather and parents.
"Do you think Tristan Davis will bring a date tonight?" One reporter asked his fellow reporters.
Not all reporters who were present tonight were aware of Tristan's marriage. Only those reporters who attended the Engagement Party of Hannah and Andrew knew about his marriage. They saw Tristan's beautiful wife.
However, the Davis Family warned them before not to spread rumors or write another article regarding Tristan's marriage. The article they posted previously about Tristan and Zhen-Zhen after the Engagement Party was taken down immediately as Tristan wanted his marriage life to be private and not become the talk of the town.
Dhalia, the entertainment reporter, and Iris, her videographer, exchanged meaningful glances with one another when they heard their fellow reporters asking each other if Tristan would bring a date tonight.
The two of them were the ones Tristan and Zhen-Zhen met in the University of Imperial Knight after she was done taking her examination. They also attended the Engagement Party of Andrew and Hannah so they already knew about Tristan's marriage.
"I don't know why Mr. Davis has not announced his marriage yet in the public. I am already dying to post an article about how sweet they are to each other," Dhalia shared her thoughts with Iris.
Iris bobbed his head in agreement. "That's right. I am still keeping a picture of them running together while holding their hands. Remember, the shot I took in the University of Imperial Knight."
"Oh right, I remember. Give me a copy of that. I will publish it right away once Tristan Davis announces his marriage to the public," said Dhalia, her eyes brimming with excitement.
Meanwhile, the couple they were talking about just arrived outside. They were still inside the car together with Matthew.
Tristan was wearing a dark navy tuxedo to match Zhen-Zhen's dark blue off-shoulder long evening gown. If everyone would see them together they would think that Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were a match made in heaven.
They truly suited each other well. The love and affection could be seen in their eyes as they stared at each other.
Tristan held her hands and asked her, "Tonight, everyone will know that you are my wife… my one and only beloved wife who won the heart of this Cassanova. Are you ready for this, Zhen-Zhen?"
A loving smile warmed her eyes as she bobbed her head. "Yes, Tristan. I am."
Complicated emotions flashed through Tristan's eyes. He tightened his grip on her hands.
"You may not have a peaceful life because of me… I-"
Tristan was not able to finish his sentence since Zhen-Zhen stopped him by sealing his lips with her lips. She gave him a lingering kiss before she drew back.
"Peaceful or not… it doesn't matter to me as long as I am with you… together with our Little Davis," Zhen-Zhen said, reassuring Tristan and consoling him.
Tristan smiled tenderly at her. He raised her hands and brought them to his lips. He kissed the back of her palms alternately.
"Thank you, Zhen-Zhen. I love you so much."
"I love you more, Tristan."
Cough! Cough!
Matthew could no longer stay quiet so he let them know that he was still there. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen ended up laughing when they saw Matthew's embarrassed expression.
"Matt, my brother Andrew told me that there were lots of reporters inside. I'm not going in together with my wife. I already talked with the event organizer. Can you accompany her for a while and bring her to the venue using the other entrance?" Tristan requested him.
"Yes, Of course. I can do that. No need to ask. I'll take care of her," Matthew responded promptly with a smile.
"Thanks, Matt. I know I can always count on you."
After saying that, Tristan moved his attention back to Zhen-Zhen.
"Zhen-Zhen, I will be waiting for you down the stage. Don't be nervous, okay? Just relax and enjoy. Don't pressure yourself. I know you can nail this again just like what you did during the search for the Campus Belle."
Tristan was telling Zhen-Zhen not to be nervous but in fact, he was the one who was really nervous right now. He had a mixed feeling about this.
But he would try his best to make this night memorable to Zhen-Zhen. This was a special night for both of them because tonight they would make an important announcement to the public.
"I will do my best, Tristan. I will make you and grandpa proud… for Heavenly Star." Zhen-Zhen's voice was filled with confidence and determination.
Tristan caressed her face. "You already did, my wife. I am already proud of you."
Tristan sealed her lips with a long passionate kiss before he stepped out of the car, entering the venue. Matthew and Zhen-Zhen went to the other entrance to avoid the reporters.
As expected, Tristan was swarmed by reporters, surrounding him as he entered the venue.
"CEO Davis, don't you have a date tonight?"
"Mr. Davis, what can you say about the issue of your company with Angelique Rioz?"
"Who is her replacement model? Is she here already?"
"Is Tanya Scarlet the one your company had chosen for this event? We saw her a moment ago. We heard that you dated Tanya before."
Tristan was bombarded with so many questions but he had no plan of answering any of them for now.
"Hold your questions, I will answer them later after the event," Tristan said to them meaningfully.
After saying that, Tristan proceeded to their assigned table. The reporters were wondering who was the new replacement model of the Heavenly Star Enterprise. Both the Chairman and CEO refused to speak.
From their table, Clifford saw Tristan on the screen. He frowned when he didn't see Zhen-Zhen. He thought Tristan would bring her tonight.
'Why are you doing this to your wife, Tristan? Don't you have the guts to introduce her to the public? Are you hiding her identity to protect her or to take advantage of her?' Clifford sneered at that thought.
Clifford picked up his phone. He clicked his phone gallery and checked something. His expression had become serious. He was still conflicted about his next move.
After several minutes of looking at his phone, Clifford just sighed deeply. He was still undecided.
