The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 152: You Scared Me To death!

Assistant Twig was at a loss for words when he heard Matthew's last remarks. It looked like his Young Master Tristan had found out that his wife was not in the university.

"Wait, what did you say again?" Assistant Twig asked Matthew to repeat his words.

"Tristan said his wife, Lillie disappeared," Matthew said once again.

"No, not that one. The last one you said." Assistant Twig said.

"He told me to report this to the police," Matthew repeated his last sentence.

Assistant Twig's eyes widened after hearing that. 'Oh no! Chairman, this is big trouble.'

Then Matthew talked to Tristan once again, "Alright. Calm down first. We will be able to find her. Don't panic. I will report this to the police."

Assistant Twig interrupted them right away. "No! You can't do that!"

Matthew looked at Assistant Twig confusedly. He was a little bit surprised when Assistant Twig reacted like that.

"Why not, Mr. Twig? Tristan's wife is missing and Tristan is now panicking because he couldn't find her. He is worried that something bad happens to Lillie."

Assistant Twig heaved a deep sigh. 'I'm sorry, Chairman. Your grandson wants to involve the police now. I think I can't cover this up anymore or else, it will give us more trouble later on.'

After much thought and careful consideration, Assistant Twig decided to tell Matthew and Tristan about Lillie's whereabout.

"Tell Young Master Tristan that he didn't need to worry so much. Lillie is safe and she's in good hands. The truth is Chairman Lu visited Lillie in her school then he invited her to the Davis Family Mansion. Young Miss is currently at home with Chairman Lu."

Matthew was dumbfounded after hearing that. He didn't know whether he would cry or laugh for his best friend, Tristan. The main culprit of his misery right now was none other than Grandpa Lu.

Assistant Twig could only smile sheepishly while scratching his face. He didn't expect that Tristan would find out right away that Lillie was not in the university.

Matthew just shook his head in disbelief before relaying the information to Tristan. He didn't know how Tristan would react once he learned about it.

Matthew: "Ahem… Tristan… I just found out where Lillie is."

Tristan: " Where is she?! Tell me. Where's my wife?"

Matthew: "She's currently in the Davis Family Mansion."

After Matthew said that, there was a moment of silence from the other line. Tristan suddenly fell silent. Matthew didn't know what Tristan was thinking right now.

Then after a while, he heard Tristan exclaimed, "What?!! Did you just say that my wife is in the Davis Family Mansion right now?!"

"Yes," Matthew said matter-of-factly.

*Tooootttt! Tooooottt!*

That was the next thing Matthew had heard after he answered him. Tristan just hung up the phone without saying a word.

"What did Young Master Tristan say?" Assistant Twig asked Matthew expectantly when he saw that their conversation just ended.

Matthew just shrugged his shoulders and said, "He hangs up right away. He just asked me to confirm if his wife, Lillie is in the Davis Family Mansion now."

"I thought Chairman Lu got sick today. Hmm." Matthew suddenly blurted out while lifting an eyebrow.

Assistant Twig let out a soft chuckle. "I think there will be a face-off between grandfather and grandson soon. Do you wanna see it? Hmmm, I curious. I feel like going to the Davis Family Mansion now." There was a glint of humor in Assistant Twig's eyes.

Matthew just sighed helplessly. He was thinking that the grandfather and grandson duo were both stubborn and troublemakers.

"Don't think of leaving Mr. Twig. We still have a meeting with our clients in twenty minutes and our Chairman and our CEO are both not here. We need to cover up for their absence." Matthew reminded him.

Assistant Twig just bobbed his head in disappointment. He wanted to see his Chairman and Young Master Tristan confront each other because of Lillie. But too bad, they couldn't leave the company right now.

***************

Meanwhile, at the Davis Family Mansion, Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle just finished cooking. They got a little bit of delay but they were now ready to serve the food in the dining area where Grandpa Lu was waiting for them.

"Wow, it smells delicious. Now, I'm really hungry!" Grandpa Lu said when Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle together with the other maids put all the menu on the table.

"Grandpa, sorry for making you wait that long," Zhen-Zhen apologized right away for the delay. She felt like it was her fault because Isabelle took her time teaching her during their cooking session.

"Oh dear, don't apologize. It's alright. Come, sit down beside me and let's eat." Grandpa Lu said, inviting Zhen-Zhen.

Isabelle couldn't help but smile. She noticed that her father-in-law really liked Lillie. By his expression and the way he talked to her, she could say that Grandpa Lu was very fond of his granddaughter-in-law.

'It looks like their conversation went very well. Lillie easily captured her grandfather-in-law's heart. They are also getting along very well.' Isabelle thought to herself.

Zhen-Zhen was just about to sit down beside Grandpa Lu when suddenly someone came running in her direction. Before everyone could react, they just saw Tristan appear in front of them pulling Lillie as he engulfed her in his strong arms.

Everyone fell silent. They didn't expect his sudden arrival. He looked like a mess with his frizzy hair, his long sleeve white shirt was also wet from his sweats. They wondered what happened to him.

Isabelle and Grandpa Lu as well as the maids just watched the husband and wife hugging each other tightly before them. It was Zhen-Zhen who broke the silence.
