Chapter 573 - She Trusted The Wrong Person
Tristan and FaMo were surprised to see Zhen-Zhen inside Tristan's car. They thought she was at the Davis Family Mansion.
Tristan didn't know what to say when he saw Zhen-Zhen looking at the pictures.
FaMo and Tristan remained rooted in their spot, not making any noise. They could see the gloomy aura surrounding Zhen-Zhe right now.
She was clutching the photos in her hands tightly. They couldn't tell what was running through her mind right now.
Was she sad? Was she mad? Was she disappointed?
They didn't know the answer. But one thing was for sure. Zhen-Zhen already learned about Clifford's dirty scheme.
"Father-in-law… Zhen-Zhen's eyes," Tristan muttered, his gaze focused on Zhen-Zhen's eyes. They were no longer blue.
"Her eyes turned black…" FaMo also mumbled, trying to figure out if the Zhen-Zhen in front of them was her inner demon or not.
Both Tristan and FaMo had a bad feeling about this. It seemed like Zhen-Zhen was truly affected by the photos she had seen. It was a clear indication that Clifford betrayed her and broke her trust.
But little did they know, Zhen-Zhen was not only displeased after seeing those photos, she was freaking mad to the extent that part of her inner demon resurfaced.
This happened because she heard some part of their conversation a while ago. Although Zhen-Zhen sent FaMo to search for Tristan, she couldn't wait at home.
With her concern for him, Zhen-Zhen had decided to follow FaMo, hoping he had already found Tristan. She teleported to FaMo's location.
And she was right. FaMo already found Tristan. She saw them sitting on the bench near the lamp post.
She noticed that the two men were having a serious conversation. So she decided to observe them from a distance, not wanting to disturb them. But she used her power to listen to them.
That was the time she heard them talking about Clifford. She also heard about the demand Clifford had asked from Tristan.
Zhen-Zhen couldn't believe that Clifford would demand that thing from Tristan. The most depressing part was that he used Zhen-Zhen.
Zhen-Zhen's heart constricted tightly inside her chest just thinking about Tristan divorcing her. She didn't care about her image and reputation. All she wanted was to be with Tristan.
Zhen-Zhen became curious about what pictures they were talking about. She was so confused that she didn't remember sleeping with Clifford. How come there was a picture of them together?
Then she heard FaMo asking Tristan to show him those photos. When she learned that those photos were inside Tristan's car which was parked in front of the Sy Corp, Zhen-Zhen teleported to that location right away.
She had mixed emotions after confirming everything. She had one realization. Clifford was still trying to take his revenge by ruining Tristan's relationship with her.
"I trusted the wrong person."
Tristan and FaMo felt the chilly aura emanating from Zhen-Zhen when she said those words. The coldness of her voice was enough to send shivers down their spines.
FaMo and Tristan exchanged glances with each other. FaMo urged Tristan to talk to his wife. He just nodded in agreement before entering the car.
Zhen-Zhen was sitting in the front passenger seat while Tristan sat in the driver's seat. FaMo, on the other hand, transformed into a black cat before jumping at the back passenger seat.
"Wifey… " Tristan called her out. He didn't know what to say.
Zhen-Zhen turned to Tristan with her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Tristan… These photos… I can't remember if this really happened or not… but believe me… I… will never betray you."
Tristan's heart clenched seeing Zhen-Zhen in turmoil right now. He could see how shaken she was after discovering this truth.
Tristan moved closer to her, cupping her face. "Yeah. I believe you. I know you will never betray me. This is just a dirty scheme of Clifford, trying to break us apart."
Tristan wanted to console Zhen-Zhen. He knew that aside from anger, Zhen-Zhen was also sad today.
"I'm sorry, Tristan. I didn't listen to you when you already told me to stay away from him. I even insisted that Clifford was a good guy."
"I'm sorry…" Tears started to fall from the corner of her eyes.
Although Zhen-Zhen's eyes turned black, she kept her mind in control, not letting her inner demon take over.
Tristan pulled Zhen-Zhen into a warm hug. "Don't apologize. This is not your fault. Okay?"
He continued wiping her tears. "Let's go home now. Don't cry, don't be sad. It's not good for our Little Davis."
Zhen-Zhen gazed at him while nodding her head.
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Are you planning to hide this from me and deal with this problem alone?" Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan.
"I thought no more secrets between us?" She added, feeling a little bit upset.
He was taken aback when he heard her direct question. Tristan felt guilty since she was right. He planned to hide this from her in the meantime.
"I'm sorry, wifey. I thought it was best for me to deal with this alone because I knew that you would be hurt once you learned it. I don't want to make you sad."
Zhen-Zhen pouted her lips. "But I have the right to know because it involves me. I guess Jake and Blake are already aware of this, am I right? They are acting strangely in front of me."
With his guilty look, Tristan bobbed his head as a response.
"I'm sorry, wifey. I didn't mean to. Please forgive this foolish husband of yours."
"Yeah, he is foolish. He almost got hit by a car a while ago." FaMo blurted out of the blue.
It was too late when FaMo realized that he was not supposed to tell her. Now, Zhen-Zhen's expression worsened.
Different emotions were flashing through her eyes~ anger, sadness, worry, and concern.
She couldn't take it if something bad happened to Tristan. Fortunately, FaMo was there to save him. What if he was not, then Tristan's life would be in danger.
"Let me handle Clifford. I will be the one to confront him." Zhen-Zhen mumbled with her stern cold voice.
She would not let this slide. Clifford had touched her bottom line. She wanted to deal with this personally.
She thought she was the one who created this mess because she trusted the wrong person.
