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

Alveena couldn't recall when was the last time Clifford acted as her real brother. They argued more often. There was not a day when the two of them would not fight nor talk back at each other.

But today, Alveena felt like her brother was back… the brother who was always there to support and protect her. 

She didn't expect that Clifford would come to comfort her after seeing the news article. She was deeply touched by his action.

She didn't want to look like a crybaby but when she learned Clifford's intention, she couldn't help but become emotional. She had longed for her brother to come back to his usual self just like before.

She had to admit that she also wanted to be comforted by him. And now, Clifford was doing it.

"Do you want me to beat that bastard? Because of him, you are being accused of seducing him by his ex. Just tell me and I will teach him a lesson."

Alveena shook her head. It was not Andrew's fault. Of course, she would not let Clifford hurt Andrew.

"Your reputation is on the line. Are you still protecting him?" Clifford said, slightly scolding Alveena.

Alveena raised her head to gaze at him.

"You still have the guts to say that. Beating Andrew? Seriously, brother? You can't even defeat Bianca…"

There was a gleam of humor in Alveena's eyes when she said those words.

Clifford: "..."

'This girl… I am here trying to comfort her, how can she make fun of me? Reminding me about Bianca?!'

"Brother, don't get mad. I am just kidding. Please don't blame Andrew. He doesn't like this either."

"So what are you planning to do now? Fortunately, our parents do not know about this yet. The reporters seem like they don't know that you are a member of the Sy Family."

"I don't care what other people will think about me. But I'm worried about our parents. I don't want them to hurt Andrew because of this issue."

"Brother, please help me… Convince our parents that Andrew is a good guy. They will listen to you. Show them that you approve of us… of our relationship!" Alveena asked her brother for a favor.

Alveena was now looking at her brother intently, waiting for his response.

"Who said I approve of your relationship with him? I still like Brandon for you."

Alveena put on a pitiful face while rubbing her hands together.

"Brother, please. Forget about Brandon. He already gave us his blessings. Brandon is my friend. We can't be more than that. Why can't you support your sister's happiness?"

Clifford massaged his temples. "Alright! Don't give me such a look. I will try. Let me get to know him first. We will see if I will get to like him or not."

Alveena's face brightened up after hearing her brother's words.

"Speaking of that, brother… I think I need your help tomorrow night. Let's prepare for a family dinner. Andrew, his grandpa, and his parents will come to meet our parents."

"Eh?! Tomorrow night?" Clifford asked her exasperatedly.

Alveena just nodded her head.

"How about Tristan and Lillie?"

Alveena giggled seeing Clifford's expression. "Don't worry, brother. Tristan and Lillie will not attend the family dinner. Are you still embarrassed to face them?"

Clifford didn't answer her. He just lowered his gaze. Alveena could tell that Clifford was still embarrassed and feeling guilty for the troubles he caused for the husband and wife.

"Brother… Lillie and Tristan… They are both good people. They will not hold a grudge against you. I hope someday the three of you will become friends again."

"Who knows? If our family and the Davis Family will get closer because of me and Andrew, Tristan and Lillie will eventually forgive you."

Clifford just remained silent. Maybe Alveena was right. He still regretted what he had done. He wished that Zhen-Zhen would be able to forgive him. If that happened then he would try his best to forgive Tristan as well.

The brother and sister were still talking about the family dinner together with the Davis Family when Brandon sent a message to Alveena.

[ "Hey, Alvee, you have to see this. Your boyfriend is on live right now, giving his statement about the issue." ]

Brandon attached the live video link to his message. Alveena immediately grabbed Clifford towards the sofa. The two of them sat down before Alveena opened the link.

Andrew posted a live video wherein he answered every controversy the media was throwing at him. This was the only way he could think of how he would take full responsibility for both women.

Alveena and Clifford watched the video silently.

"I am here to clear some things regarding the issues between Hannah, Alveena, and me. It is not Alveena's fault that Hannah and I broke up. She was falsely accused of something she didn't do. Alveena didn't seduce me."

Andrew was very serious as he said those words.

"I know this will not justify my action of loving someone else. Hannah and I came to the point that we have to go separate ways. Our relationship was not as perfect as you think."

"I don't want you to blame someone for our own shortcomings. I am sorry to know that something like this happened to Hannah. But I can't force myself to continue loving her because I know that my feelings for her are already gone."

Anyone could see the sincerity in Andrew's eyes. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"I am speaking up because I think the woman I love is being unfairly accused and being judged. She is such a lovely and amazing woman. I want to protect her."

"You can come at me, call me a cheater or whatever you want. But this will not change the fact that Hannah and I are already over. I already love someone else."

Andrew paused for a moment before continuing.

"As for the Miller Family who released those statements… I know you are doing this as part of your revenge against me and my family."

"We chose to stay silent and never plan on letting the public know the reason why we banned and blacklisted your company. But you forced us to do this."

"Hannah… did something despicable to my brother and my sister-in-law. This was the reason why our grandfather got mad. He could no longer tolerate it so the Davis Family ended the friendship between the two families."

"I will no longer mention it… I already said what I wanted to say. You already know that the Davis Family will not act or do something without valid reason. No one will force you to believe us. But I will not allow you to target nor insult Alveena. She doesn't deserve it."

Andrew stopped the recording after he was done saying those words. He meant every word.

Alveena and Clifford who saw the video were still silent in their seats. Alveena tried her best not to cry. She was touched by Andrew's words. He was protecting her.

It was Clifford who broke the silence.

"Hmm. Not bad. I think I am starting to like him as my brother-in-law."
