Chapter 482 - Zhen-Zhen's Harsh Side
The product showcasing activity was a success. Everyone enjoyed the event. After that, the emcee announced the start of socialization wherein everyone could enjoy the dance floor and mingled with others.
There was also a fireworks display that would happen outside the big dome. Some could either enjoy the dance floor or go outside to watch the amazing fireworks in the night sky.
Isabelle and Lucas decided to dance while the young ones went out to watch the fireworks. Grandpa Lu stayed inside the venue, greeting and mingling with the other renowned businessmen and members of the powerful families in the City of Empire.
They were the ones who approached Grandpa Lu, paying their utmost respect to the elder and the ironman of the Heavenly Star Enterprise and the Patriarch of the Davis Family.
Meanwhile, the Davis Family Bodyguards were following Tristan, Zhen-Zhen, Andrew and, Alveena. They were tasked to make sure that the reporters would not interrupt them.
However, Alveena felt uncomfortable with the presence of the bodyguards. She planned on confessing her feelings to Andrew during this fireworks display. But she couldn't do that in front of the bodyguards.
She was eyeing Andrew silently, contemplating whether to ask him to move somewhere without the guards or just stay there on their current spot and watch the fireworks display with them.
The longer she prolonged this the more she was losing her courage to confess. If she delayed this more then she might end up not confessing tonight.
With that thought in mind, Alveena tiptoed and whispered something to Andrew.
"Mr. Drunky, can we move somewhere else where there are fewer people? I think we can still watch the fireworks even if we move a little bit farther from the crowd."
Clueless of Alveena's true motive by asking him that, Andrew just nodded his head in agreement. Just like Alveena, he felt uncomfortable with the presence of the bodyguards and the other people there who wanted to see the fireworks.
He leaned over and whispered back to her, "Sure, come. Let's find a better spot."
After saying that, Andrew held Alveena's hand and gently pulled her, leaving the Zhen-Zhen, Tristan, and the bodyguards. The bodyguards saw them leaving. They planned on following them but Andrew signaled them to stay.
With that, the bodyguards just stayed where they were, watching Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. It did not take long when two figures approached them. They were Angelique and Clifford.
Tristan frowned upon seeing the two people beside them. He immediately pulled Zhen-Zhen closer to his body. He was on guard against Clifford.
Though Zhen-Zhen wanted him to try and reconcile with Clifford, Tristan was still wary of him. He never knew what scheme he would try to do again this time just to stir a conflict between Zhen-Zhen and him.
He even did an underhanded method of asking Angelique to seduce him and test his self-control. Tristan knew that if he was not careful enough then Clifford might succeed in ruining his image in front of Zhen-Zhen.
"Congratulation Mr. and Mrs. Davis. I was really surprised after knowing that Mr. Davis was already married." Angelique was the one who spoke up, eyeing Tristan meaningfully before glancing at Zhen-Zhen.
'Hmm, so this woman is his wife. Is she the reason why Tristan Davis didn't fall on my charm? Well, I have to admit that she has a pretty face but still, I don't think she's better. I am still superior to her. For me, she is just no one, with no name.' Angelique thought to herself, acting so arrogant as she looked down on Zhen-Zhen.
"Mr. Davis, I didn't expect that you would use your wife as my replacement model. Well, is that a desperate move because you couldn't find a better model after I reject your offer in my penthouse?"
Angelique sized her up from top to bottom. She didn't hide her displeasure towards Zhen-Zhen. When she met Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes, Angelique just flashed her taunting smile. She wanted to know how Zhen-Zhen would react if she learned that her husband visited her personally in her house.
Tristan, on the other hand, shot Angelique a sharp cold glare. He knew what she was trying to do here. She wanted Zhen-Zhen to misunderstand and imagine things.
Fortunately, Tristan had informed Zhen-Zhen about Angelique and her attempt to seduce him so Tristan had nothing to worry about. Zhen-Zhen knew everything.
Tristan was about to speak up but stopped midway when he heard Zhen-Zhen's voice. Zhen-Zhen wanted to answer Angelique on Tristan's behalf.
"Tristan and the Heavenly Star Enterprise don't need a supermodel like you, Miss Angelique. We are glad that you breached the contract. You are not suited to be our model. You didn't reject Tristan but he was the one who rejected you."
Angelique was rendered speechless after hearing that. She narrowed her eyes, glaring sharply at Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan tried his best to hold his laughter after seeing the angry expression of Angelique. He didn't expect that his wife could be savaged sometimes with her words.
Even Clifford was surprised since this was the first time he witnessed the sweet and kind Zhen-Zhen had spoken like this to someone. Her aura was different from before. She seemed to be a different person.
On the other hand, Zhen-Zhen was not yet done speaking. She said another word that provoked Angelique to the core.
"You know what Miss Angelique, I didn't expect that a supermodel like you would ask someone to sleep with you just to be his model. Is that the reason you become a supermodel? I wonder how many guys received your service in exchange for pleasure." Zhen-Zhen didn't restrain herself since she was mad after knowing Angelique tried to seduce Tristan.
Tristan: "..."
Clifford: "..."
Angelique's eyes grew wider, her veins popped up on her forehead as she gritted her teeth. She was boiling with rage. She didn't expect to receive an insult from Zhen-Zhen.
Angelique raised her hand to slap Zhen-Zhen. But Clifford and Tristan reacted immediately. They both grabbed her hand thus stopping her from slapping Zhen-Zhen.
The guards were also alerted when they saw that. They immediately dashed toward Zhen-Zhen and Tristan. But Tristan signaled them not to get involved.
"Miss Rioz, I will not allow someone to hurt my wife. If I see you do this again then don't blame me for losing your hand." Tristan said to Angelique firmly. He was giving her a warning and at the same time, threatening her.
Clifford was not happy with Angelique's action. He immediately pulled her away from Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. He didn't want Zhen-Zhen to get hurt. He dragged her back to the big dome.
When Clifford and Angelique left, Tristan turned to Zhen-Zhen with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Are you okay, wifey?"
Zhen-Zhen giggled after hearing that. "Tristan, I'm fine. She didn't hit me right because you intervened."
"But do you think I was so harsh to her when I said those words? I'm sorry I couldn't help it. I was mad because of what she did to the company and to you." Zhen-Zhen admitted to Tristan.
Tristan hugged Zhen-Zhen while grinning widely.
"You are not harsh. I like it. You don't have to apologize. She deserves that insult. She brought that upon herself. You are becoming fiercer, wifey. I love that." Tristan said, praising Zhen-Zhen.
"Well, Little Davis and I will not tolerate anyone who will try to take you from us," Zhen-Zhen responded to Tristan, hugging him back.
Tristan let out a husky laugh.
"Zhen-Zhen, no one can take me away from you. I will stick with you forever." Tristan said with so much conviction in his words.
It did not take long when the night sky was colored by different fireworks. They heard the booming sound and everyone outside looked up in the sky, admiring the magnificent view brought by fireworks.
"Tristan, look! It's so beautiful." Zhen-Zhen broke the hug and pointed her fingers at the night sky.
"Yes, it's beautiful but you are the most beautiful in my eyes…" Tristan sweetly mumbled to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her against his body. He was hugging her from behind.
Zhen-Zhen just smiled tenderly at him before leaning her head on his chest. They both gazed up, admiring the beauty of the fireworks.
Meanwhile, Clifford and Angelique already reached the venue.
"Mr. Sy, let go of my hand now. I'm hurting." Angelique complained to Clifford since he was gripping her hand too tightly.
"What the hell are you thinking? Slapping the member of the Davis Family in front of everyone? Do you want a death wish?" Clifford scolded Angelique. But the truth was, that was not his main concern. He just didn't want Zhen-Zhen to get hurt.
"She insulted me! She's the one to blame! She just called me a slut indirectly! I worked hard to be a supermodel. How dare she accuse me with that ridiculous thing I have never done?!" Angelique spat back at him.
Clifford just rubbed the space in between his eyebrows. "Stop this. She has the right to say that since she knew what happened between you and Tristan. I think Tristan had told her everything."
