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

Chapter 422: A Serious Problem in the City of Empire

The employees of the branch had just witnessed how doting and sweet their CEO was to his wife. They were very fascinated to see that their playboy CEO had fallen head over heels for his wife.

Aside from being beautiful, Zhen-Zhen also had a kind and beautiful heart. She was friendly and approachable, very easy to talk to.

The employee became very fond of her right away. She entertained them and had a nice conversation with them. Tristan was glad that Zhen-Zhen was getting along well with his employees.

They were good to her not because she's the CEO's wife but because Zhen-Zhen's attitude and behavior were very likable. The office became lively because of Zhen-Zhen's presence.

Tristan was also in a good mood. He became more motivated to work since his wife was with him. Her presence was enough to erase his stress and tiredness from work.

While Zhen-Zhen was talking with the other employee, Matthew simply approached Tristan to ask him. He couldn't believe that Zhen-Zhen would come to visit Tristan in that foreign country. She even traveled alone.

He messaged Sophia and he got a response. She said that Zhen-Zhen aka Lillie was with her yesterday morning. Though she said goodbye to Sophia, informing her she was not attending the afternoon classes and she would go somewhere, the timing was not right.

It would take 18 hours by plane before she could arrive in that country. So Matthew was still wondering how Zhen-Zhen arrived there so fast. She didn't even use the private plane of the Davis Family.

Matthew didn't know why but it bothered him a lot. There was something off with Zhen-Zhen's sudden arrival.

He kept asking himself, 'Is this magic? Whoah. What kind of transportation she used to arrive there in just a few hours?'

"Hey, Tristan, tell me honestly. When did Lillie arrive here? What transportation did she use? I could feel it, you are hiding something from me," Matthew said, confronting Tristan.

Tristan paused what he was doing when he heard Matthew. He didn't know why he had to ask this question? He noticed that Matthew suddenly became suspicious.

Tristan promised that no one aside from Zhen-Zhen and him would know the truth about Zhen-Zhen's real identity as a demon god's daughter. She's not an ordinary human and she had superpowers.

Matthew would be shocked once he learned that. Furthermore, Tristan didn't know how Matthew would be able to handle the truth or how he would react so as much as possible, he wanted this truth to remain secret even to his best friend, Matthew.

"Matt, listen to me carefully. Promise me that you won't tell anyone about this." Tristan said in a serious tone.

Matthew arched his eyebrow, feeling intrigued. He nodded his head vigorously, eager to know what Tristan was about to say. "I promise. I will not tell anyone!"

"I think Hannah was the one who made you sick last night."

Matthew was confused by his statement. He was asking about his wife but Tristan was telling him about Hannah. "Huh? What do you mean? What's the connection?"

Tristan just shook his head and continued, "Hannah did it so that you would leave us alone. She tried to seduce me last night!"

"WHAT?!! Is that true? You are not kidding?" Matthew's eyes widened in disbelief. That was a piece of shocking news for him, enough for him to forget about Zhen-Zhen's sudden arrival in that country.

Tristan wanted to divert Matthew's attention away from Zhen-Zhen and change the topic by telling him what happened between him and Hannah last night. He told him about the confrontation he had with Hannah.

The two were still discussing Hannah's inappropriate action when Tristan received a phone call from the Davis Mansion.

When the call got connected, he heard his mother and father arguing about something. They were not fighting but they sounded like pushing each other who would talk to Tristan and tell him something.

Tristan frowned as they looked like his parents were anxious and worried about something.

'Is there an emergency happened at home?' he pondered at that thought.

Several seconds had passed but his parents were still undecided who would talk to Tristan. Tristan just sighed deeply and had spoken to them.

"Dad, Mom… you called me so I assumed you have something important to tell me. Why are you both hesitating? Spill it out now!"

Tristan also heard his grandfather's voice on the other line, clearing his throat. In the end, Grandpa Lu took the phone and he was the one who talked to Tristan. He was impatient, Tristan's parents were just delaying things.

"Grandson, listen to me carefully. Just be calm and don't panic. We are doing our best here. Trust this grandpa of yours." Grandpa Lu said, making Tristan feel confused.

'Eh, what's wrong with them? What is grandpa talking about?' Tristan asked himself. He remained quiet, just listening to him.

"I already asked help from your Grandpa Alejandro. He used his connection in the military to help us."

The frown on Tristan's forehead deepened. He could no longer stand this suspense.

"Grandpa, can you just tell me directly what is happening there? Why do you need the help of Grandpa Alejandro and his military connection?"

"Is the Heavenly Star Enterprise being attacked by a terrorist group?" Tristan asked his grandpa with humor.

He tried to crack some jokes to lighten the mood. His grandfather and his parents seemed to be very anxious and nervous for a reason he didn't know yet.

Matthew who was just listening also got curious. 'Terrorist? Military? Grandpa Alejandro's connection? What is happening in the City of Empire right now?'

Then Grandpa Lu spoke again with so much seriousness in his voice.

"Grandson, this problem is more serious than the Heavenly Star being attacked by the terrorist."
