Chapter 543 - Be Your Servant!
The next day, Bianca's and Clifford's video became viral. Some students posted it on the internet just making fun of the situation but they meant no harm to Clifford. Besides, they didn't recognize him.
It was just today that they found out the identity of the man in a corporate suit who was defeated by a pretty and cool lady bodyguard of Mrs. Davis.
Who would have thought that the gorgeous-looking man was none other than Clifford Sy, the Mighty Aloof CEO of the SY Corp? They wondered why Clifford Sy came into their campus.
Meanwhile, Tristan was having fun watching the video and reading the comments of the netizens. They made fun of Clifford in the video. Tristan couldn't stop himself from laughing so hard.
He was still recuperating so he was just staying at home for a while. He spent his time reading business news, stocks, and other business-related articles on the internet. It just so happened that he accidentally saw Clifford's video when he was browsing.
His stomach hurt from laughing too much. He was rolling and chuckling on the couch as he watched the video.
He wanted to commend Bianca and gave her a large amount of bonus for doing her job well. She really had done her best from stopping Clifford.
Tristan had just calmed down when the head butler approached him.
"Young Master, you have visitors outside, should I let them in or not?"
Tristan sat up straight upon hearing that. He was not expecting any visitors today.
"Visitors? Who?" Tristan asked the head butler curiously.
The head butler cleared his throat first. He didn't know how he would address the two people outside. They were no longer part of the Davis Family. Grandpa Lu disowned them and kicked them out.
"Mark and Daniel," he mumbled. In the end, he just mentioned their names.
He couldn't tell Tristan that they were his cousins since they never acted as one. They always harbored hatred towards Tristan and even schemed against him many times.
Tristan fell silent for a moment, contemplating whether he would let them in or not. After much thought and careful consideration, Tristan allowed Mark and Daniel to enter the house.
It did not take long when the head butler guided Mark and Daniel inside the house. They didn't look well. The stress and fatigue were visible on their faces. It seemed that they were having a hard time after Grandpa Lu's announcement.
His proud and arrogant evil cousins were now sitting in front of him like obedient puppies. Tristan was just silently observing them, waiting for them to speak up.
Mark was the first one who broke the silence.
"Tristan… we came here to apologize for what happened. Please forgive us. We just did it because of the hatred. We hated you so much for what you have done to us in the past. We just wanted to give you a lesson."
"Yes, please forgive us, cousin! We don't have any intention to kill you. We hated you. We suffered a lot because of you. Grandpa Alejandro and Grandma Clara even punished us before," Daniel also shared his thoughts.
Tristan just arched his eyebrows while listening to them. 'Are they really apologizing or they just came here to justify their actions?'
He shook his head helplessly. 'Are my cousins beyond redemption now? I can't feel that they really regretted their actions.'
"Are you here to apologize or point your fingers at me to justify your evil deed?" Tristan said with a serious tone.
Mark and Daniel exchanged glances with one another. They had to eat their pride just to come and apologize to him. Grandpa Lu wanted them to at least apologize to their cousin, Tristan.
Both of them shook their heads vehemently.
"No. We are not blaming you. We are just expressing our thoughts and feelings." Mark said, correcting Tristan's assumption.
"We really came here to apologize to you sincerely." Daniel also supported his cousin's statement.
Tristan stared at them intently, trying to figure out what they were thinking. He was not yet convinced. He knew they wanted to reconcile with him so that Grandpa Lu would forgive them and change his decision.
"You know what, if this only happened to me, I can forgive you easily. But this time it's different. Matthew, Sophia, and my wife's life were put in danger. Have you realized that? My wife is pregnant, what if the Bermuda Gang had done something to her, our baby would have been at risk."
"If something bad happened to my wife and baby that day, I don't think I can ever forgive you. I will go crazy and I might kill you both by myself!" Tristan expressed his true feelings with them.
Mark and Daniel were both tongue-tied after hearing that. They finally realized that they committed a grave sin. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to Zhen-Zhen and her baby. They didn't mean any harm to his wife and baby.
The living room was engulfed by a deafening silence. Mark and Daniel admitted to themselves that they went overboard this time. No wonder Grandpa Lu had to resort to this kind of punishment.
It did not take long when Mark suddenly moved from his seat, kneeling on the floor. Tristan was dumbfounded by his sudden action. He didn't expect that Mark would do that.
Seeing Mark kneeling on the floor, Daniel also joined him. He kneeled down in front of Tristan. They were both looking at the floor as they couldn't look straight into Tristan's eyes. They felt guilty.
"Tristan, We will do anything you want just to get your forgiveness. I realized my mistake. I have done a grave sin to you and to your wife. And now I regret it," Mark mumbled while clenching his fists. Now he sounded more sincere compared to the first apology.
"But I will be honest with you. We are also doing this so that Grandpa Lu will forgive us. We are still having a hard time accepting the fact that we are no longer part of the Davis Family. Even our parents didn't want to acknowledge us anymore," he added.
Tristan's lips twitched, fighting a smile. At least, he heard honest remarks from them. His cousins were still redeemable. It was not yet too late for them to change.
"If you want us to be your servant for a month, then we are more than willing to do that!" Daniel spoke up that made Tristan and Mark speechless.
Tristan: "..."
Mark: 'Is he serious? I only said we will do anything Tristan wants. But this dumb cousin of mine really spells it out and mentions being a servant for a whole month?!'
Daniel darted his gaze back and forth between Tristan and Mark who were giving him a strange look.
He just shrugged his shoulders, giving them a questioning gaze. 'Eh, Why are they looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?'
"Hmm. Fine. I accept your proposal. Be my servant for the whole month then. After that I will decide whether I will forgive you or not," Tristan said with his straight face. He was holding back himself from laughing.
"You can start now," Tristan added. "My body is still aching. I think I need a body massage."
Mark: "..."
"Alright! Let me massage your body, my dear cousin!" Daniel responded cheerfully as if he won a lottery. He stood up right away and moved at the back of Tristan. Then he started massaging his shoulders.
"Ahem, cousin, since we will become your servant. Can we stay here at the mansion? Our parents confiscated our cards. We can't even stay at our condo unit since the property is under Davis's name." Daniel shamelessly asked Tristan.
Now Tristan and Mark understood why Daniel volunteered to be Tristan's servant for a month! He wanted to be a freeloader in the meantime.
'Damn! I take back my words. Daniel is not dumb. He is a clever man. Why didn't I think about that? Our budget is too tight right now. We can't stay long in the hotel.' Mark thought to himself while praising Daniel in his mind.
Tristan could only sigh helplessly. He didn't expect that his cousin was also shameless like him. Mark also moved from his spot, approaching Tristan. He was now massaging Tristan's legs.
When the head butler passed by the living room, he was surprised to see Mark and Daniel massaging Tristan as if he was their big boss.
'Eh, what is happening in the world?'
