Chapter 480 - The CEO's Wife Of The Heavenly Star
After hearing Tristan's announcement about the five hundred vouchers to be given free, everyone inside the big dome was surprised beyond belief.
It was good for those lucky 500 but not beneficial to the company. That's what they were thinking.
Even the emcee could no longer stay quiet so she asked Tristan about his reason for doing this.
This was a product showcase wherein each company was aiming to earn income by presenting their products for the potential buyers that they invited.
But Tristan Davis and the Heavenly Star Enterprise were doing the opposite thing.
'Are they not aiming to gain something from this?'
"Mr. Davis, you are very generous for giving 500 vouchers for the raffle, care to share with us why you and the company decided to do this?" the Emcee had finally spoken, asking Tristan.
"How about our esteemed guests who are present tonight? Do they need to book a reservation if they wish to visit Heavenly Star Paradise?" she added.
"Yes, anyone who wants to visit Heavenly Star Paradise can book their reservation now although our resort will be open by next month." Tristan took a pause, observing everyone's reaction before continuing.
"With regards to the donation for this activity, even if we can't get an earning here, Heavenly Star Enterprise will be donating 10 million dollars for the project and charity works of the city government."
"In other words, even if we can't get reservations from our guests here, still Heavenly Star will donate for the Empire City development projects and charity works."
Everyone gasped after hearing that, most especially the City Mayor. They didn't expect that Tristan Davis would be as generous as this.
"Hmm, as to why I'm doing this… It's because I want to celebrate with everyone this Centennial Year Celebration. This is not about showing off or boasting our wealth so please don't misunderstand my motive." Tristan explained right away.
"Oh, I wanna grab this opportunity… to introduce this lovely lady next to me to everyone." Tristan held Zhen-Zhen's hand and brought her hand on his lips, kissing the back of her palm.
To think about it, even the emcee didn't know the name of Heavenly Star's model. Tristan didn't submit her name.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to meet Lillie Meyer Davis, my beloved wife."
The venue was engulfed with deafening silence once again. Tristan finally dropped the bomb to everyone, giving them one shock after another.
They were utterly astounded after hearing that announcement from Tristan.
After several seconds, the murmuring could be heard again inside the venue.
"What did he say? I didn't hear it wrong right? Did he just tell us he already has a wife?"
"Wait, does it mean Tristan Davis is already married? The news article before was not fake news or rumors, but it was true!"
"Oh my gosh, his wife is so beautiful. She is not a fling but his lawful wife! We mistook her as part of his women's collection."
"When did they get married? How come they didn't announce anything?"
"I couldn't believe this! The certified Casanova, Tristan Davis is not single anymore!"
While everyone was busy talking about Tristan and Zhen-Zhen, Clifford was silently observing them from the Sy Corp table.
He had a dark expression on his face. He didn't expect that Tristan would use this event to finally announce to the public his relationship with Zhen-Zhen.
Clifford didn't anticipate this. He thought Tristan would continue to hide his marriage. If he remained silent about his marriage then it would be advantageous for Clifford to implement his plan.
But Tristan wanted to mark Zhen-Zhen, telling everyone that she was his wife.
'You outsmarted me again, Tristan Davis. You changed your product items for the showcase. Have you anticipated it already?'
Clifford couldn't help but feel disappointed for the turn of events. It looked like Tristan didn't come here to compete with the other companies.
His real purpose for attending this Big Gala was to introduce his wife to the public.
Though Sy Corp earned a lot for selling all their limited edition jewelry collection, Clifford was not yet satisfied since Tristan was able to do what he wanted from the beginning.
Seeing Zhen-Zhen standing next to Tristan, Clifford couldn't help but feel jealous and bitter.
'How can someone like him be able to find a good wife? Someone who toyed with women's feelings. Why is Tristan always lucky?' Clifford's heart was filled with bitterness.
Since he couldn't bear to see how happy Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were while they were on the stage, Clifford decided to leave their table and went outside the venue to breathe some fresh air.
On the other hand, Tristan continued speaking on the stage.
"The woman beside me is not just a model representing our company… She is the CEO's wife of the Heavenly Star Enterprise, the granddaughter-in-law of Chairman Lu. She is part of the Davis Family." Tristan declared to them firmly.
"So anyone who will talk bad or insult her just like what the director of the Sy Corp did moments ago… the Davis Family will not stay quiet and do nothing." Tristan started to attack the person who tried to insult his wife moments ago by asking how much their model was.
"I didn't bring her here to be insulted or mocked by people just because she is our model. She deserves better than that."
"Anyway. I am not supposed to rant in front of you. It's just that I love my wife so much that I couldn't stand it when people were trying to look down on her. You can attack me personally, but please leave my wife alone." Tristan gave Sy Corp a warning. He was looking at their table while saying those words.
Everyone fell silent. They could see the seriousness in Tristan's face. He was hell-bent on protecting his wife. They couldn't help but admire Tristan for defending his wife. He seemed a different person now from the Tristan Davis they heard before.
The director who insulted Zhen-Zhen felt threatened with Tristan's warning. He regretted talking back at him a while ago.
Meanwhile, Tristan's parents and Grandpa Lu felt proud of Tristan's action tonight. He did it so well. This was not what they expected but as long as Tristan was able to announce that Zhen-Zhen was his wife, it was more than enough. They don't care about the product showcasing competition.
