Chapter 74 - Only A Joke
Andrew showed them Tristan's video. After watching it, Mr. and Mrs. Miller had mixed feelings about it. But one thing was certain- Hannah's parents believed Andrew's speculation.
Because of that, their views about Tristan suddenly changed. They couldn't believe that he would do that to his brother, Andrew and to his best friend, Hannah.
"I think we have to tell Chairman Lu about this." Mr. Miller suggested with his serious expression.
"Yeah, that's true. Only Chairman Lu can discipline Tristan." Mrs. Miller agreed on her husband's suggestion.
Meanwhile, Hannah had not recovered yet from what she had seen in the video. She didn't know what to feel as of this moment. She became unusually quiet. She was really surprised after watching the video. Her mood changed immediately.
Andrew noticed Hannah's reaction. Now he was not sure if he did the right thing by showing her that video. He had a nagging feeling about this. Andrew's expression darkened as he felt troubled by Hannah's reaction.
'Why does she look like that? Is she affected by that video?' Andrew pondered to himself.
After a while, Hannah excused herself. She said she felt tired and she wanted to get some rest first so she went to her room. Andrew followed her while Mr. and Mrs. Miller remained in the living room.
"I think we should help Andrew get the CEO position of Heavenly Star Enterprise. After all, he is the one who will become Hannah's husband." Mr. Miller suddenly blurted out to his wife.
"Honey, I agree with you. But to do that, we need to influence Chairman Lu. He still had the last say about the CEO position. Though Tristan is the current CEO, he can still be replaced by others especially now that he has a bad reputation as a womanizer." Mrs. Miller didn't object to her husband's suggestion.
"Well, influencing other directors and shareholders could also help. They have the power to change the current CEO especially if his current reputation is also affecting the company's good name and image." Mr. Miller smirked at that thought.
Mrs. Miller heaved a deep sigh, "I'm glad that our Hannah fell in love with Andrew instead of Tristan. I couldn't imagine seeing her cry because of Tristan's womanizing act."
"Yeah. I won't let my daughter fall to someone like him. Never." Mr. Miller said with conviction.
"You should meet Chairman Lu and demand him to punish Tristan for what he had done. He was trying to separate Hannah and Andrew." Mrs. Miller urged her husband to talk with Grandpa Lu.
Mr. Miller just nodded at her as a response.

« At Oceaniz City »
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were both oblivious of the impending storm that was about to happen in the City of Empire. This storm would bring changes into their lives once they returned to Empire City.
They had done their research for today and both of them were productive. Tristan was now busy summarizing his report and findings on his laptop while Zhen-Zhen and FaMo were just sitting beside him.
Zhen-Zhen was reading a book. She already learned how to read. On the other hand, FaMo was engrossed with watching television. Tristan would glance at them from time to time.
He couldn't help but smile seeing Zhen-Zhen and FaMo doing different things for the first time. But he was amazed by FaMo. He looked like an intelligent cat. How come he could focus on watching television?
'Could he understand what he was watching? Why is it he looks like a person in his cat form. Haha so strange. Well, his master is strange too. They matched each other well.' Tristan thought to himself while grinning from ear to ear.
Tristan couldn't bring himself to get mad at FaMo and Zhen-Zhen because of Hannah's incident. Maybe if another person did that to Hannah, Tristan would already scold them while showing them his wrath despite the fact that they had no idea about Hannah's condition.
But since the person who caused that accident was Zhen-Zhen and her pet, Tristan tried to understand the situation without jumping into conclusion and making a reckless action.
In fact, he felt guilty to Zhen-Zhen since he neglected her at that time because he was very worried about Hannah. Tristan was now thinking that his action had scared Zhen-Zhen.
She had no idea what happened that night so it must be hard for her thinking what she had done wrong. She even assumed that Tristan got mad at her.
"Zhen-Zhen…" Tristan called her out.
Zhen-Zhen moved her gaze from the book to Tristan's face.
"Yes, Tristan?"
"I want to apologize to you about what happened last night. I left without saying a word. I think I made you worry too much because of that. I'm really sorry about that." Tristan apologized to her.
Zhen-Zhen smiled at him brightly and said, "You don't have to apologize. I understand now. It was an emergency and you were thinking about how to save Hannah. It's only natural that you forgot about us because your mind was so occupied by Hannah's situation."
Tristan sighed deeply after hearing Zhen-Zhen. 'She is really thoughtful and understanding.'
"Thank you, Zhen-Zhen." He softly said while glancing at her with his grateful look.
"I promise it will not happen again," Tristan added.
Then suddenly FaMo reacted. "Meow! Meow! Meow!"
FaMo was saying, "That's good. Make sure to fulfill that promise or else I will roast you alive. You didn't know how Zhen-Zhen became so sad that night. You made her cry!"
Unfortunately, Tristan couldn't understand FaMo. He was clueless that he made her sad and cry that night.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen glanced at FaMo. She was the only one who understood what he had just said.
'FaMo behave! What do you mean you will roast Tristan alive? Hmm… you are not supposed to hurt Tristan. I will get mad at you.' Zhen-Zhen scolded FaMo for the first time.
FaMo: "..."
He was rendered speechless. He forgot about Zhen-Zhen. Now, she caught him trying to think about ways on how to punish Tristan if ever he would make Zhen-Zhen sad once again.
'Hey, Zhen-Zhen, that's only a joke. I think you should also learn to crack some jokes once in a while.' FaMo said, trying to feign innocence.
