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

Chapter 568 - One Trouble After Another



Dexter was curious whether it really happened or not. 

Did Lillie Davis have sex with his boss, Clifford? Did she betray Tristan or Clifford do something to Lillie Davis?

Did he force her? Did he drug her so they ended up doing the deed?

These were the questions running in Dexter's mind. But he didn't dare voice it out. Clifford would never give him an answer anyway.

So Dexter left his boss' office for a while as Clifford wanted to be alone.

When Dexter was gone, Clifford's expression changed. The smile on his face disappeared.

He was not sure about this. What would happen if Zhen-Zhen would know about the pictures?

Clifford was having conflicting thoughts right now. He felt like regretting it already. However, he already did this. There's no backing down now.

'I must make sure that Tristan will not tell this to his wife, or else Lillie might hate me…' Clifford thought to himself.

He stood up and grabbed his coat. He needed to talk to Tristan who was currently being detained in the Police Station.

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen and Bianca finally arrived at the Davis Family Mansion. Zhen-Zhen already submitted her remaining requirements so she was now free today.

She was so excited to go home to see Tristan. But to her disappointment, Tristan was not in the house. Only FaMo and Pam-Pam welcomed them upon entering the house.

"Where is Tristan?" Zhen-Zhen mumbled, carrying FaMo in her hands.

Bianca was the one carrying Pam-Pam. She started playing with her.

Hearing Zhen-Zhen's question, FaMo answered her through their mind link.

"I saw him leaving the house about two hours ago. He was in a hurry. Maybe something big happened in the company."

Zhen-Zhen just frowned. Tristan didn't message her today. She was used to receiving messages from him whenever she was at school.

Little did she know, Tristan's phone was left in his car. His car was still parked in the front building of the Sy Corp.

He couldn't bring his car because the police escorted him to their station.

Zhen-Zhen and FaMo were still clueless about the scandalous pictures between Zhen-Zhen and Clifford.

They also had no idea that Tristan was in trouble after beating Clifford inside his office.

"Ok, FaMo. Let's just wait for him to return."

~ At Empire City Police Station 1 ~

Jake and Blake already arrived at the Police Station. They were currently talking to Tristan in the interrogation room where he was temporarily being detained.

"So you are here because you beat Clifford Sy in his office," Blake said, assessing Tristan.

The twins were wondering what triggered Tristan to do that. He was not fond of violence. 

Although he knew how to fight, he never used his fists against someone without any valid reason.

It was also seldom to see him go wild, unlike the description given to him of one of the police officers who witnessed Tristan's action inside Clifford's Office.

Dexter also submitted a video file as evidence for this assault. There was a CCTV camera inside Clifford Office for security purposes. It happened to capture Tristan's aggressive actions when he was beating Clifford.

"Cousin, you are at a disadvantage here. They have proof. You should have talked to Clifford first. I don't think he will allow you to go unpunished. He will continue pressing charges against you," Jake said, explaining the severity of Tristan's action.

"But don't worry. We can still get you out of here by bailing you out." Blake reassured him.

Tristan just nodded at them.

"I've heard you haven't given your statement yet. Hmm invoking your right to remain silent huh, clever cousin! So now tell us, what is the cause of your action?" Jake asked him curiously.

A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he gritted his teeth.

"Just promise me that you will not tell anyone about this," Tristan said with a serious expression on his face.

Jake and Blake exchanged glances with one another before nodding their heads. They reassured Tristan that they would not tell anyone.

"Do you remember the package I  received this morning?"

Jake and Blake just nodded. They remembered that it was sent by an anonymous sender.

Tristan clenched his fists so hard as he continued.

"I believed that package was sent by Clifford Sy. The things inside the package… And it contains…" Tristan was having a hard time saying his next words.

Jake and Blake could no longer bear this suspense so they asked him again.

Jake: "What's in the package?"

Blake: "It contained what?"

Tristan took a deep breath before finally telling them. "It contains several pictures of my wife… sleeping on a bed… together with Clifford who was half-naked."

"He was… cuddling her…"

Jake and Blake were shocked beyond belief after hearing that, their eyes bulging out and their mouths wide open.

But after they recovered, Jake slammed his hands on the table.

"This is clearly intentional! Trying to create conflict between you and your wife! Don't be fooled by this dirty scheme!" Jake coldly said through his gritted teeth.

"Lillie is not the kind of girl who will do that…" he further added.

"Yeah, I agree. We can sue Clifford because of this. He just sent you evidence that we can use against him! I am sure he was the one who took advantage of Lillie. You should ask your wife about this," Blake said.

Compared to Jake, Blake was calmer although he was also enraged by this kind of scheme.

Tristan shook his head. "No! I can't sue him, or else everyone will know about these pictures."

"I already know how harsh the online world is. I don't want my wife to encounter or experience the same bashing I received before. She doesn't deserve this."

"You already know how online words work. Although my wife is the victim, others will still try to attack her and ridicule her. They will still judge her. I never allowed that to happen."

Tristan clenched his fists once again. "I can't talk to her yet. I don't know how I can bring this up to her…"

"I trust her.. but I am afraid… afraid that Lillie will admit that this thing really happened. I don't know if I will be able to handle it once I hear those words from her…"

Blake and Jake could understand Tristan's fear. They were aware that this was a huge blow to him. Clifford really dropped a bomb on Tristan's face.

"Gosh! I was going to suggest reconciliation and settle this peacefully with Clifford. But now, I changed my mind. I also wanted to beat him to death!" Jake expressed his feelings.

Blake just shook his head. "Don't complicate things more. One case is enough. Don't add another trouble, brother."

"But I can't let this slide. How can he do that to my dearest cousin and my cousin-in-law? He is a very cunning man! He deserves it."

Jake was still talking when Blake's phone beeped. He picked it up and checked something.

"We also have one more problem..." Blake said after checking his phone.

"What?"

Tristan and Jake gave him a questioning gaze.

"Sy Corp is on the move. They give a copy of the video to the media. Tristan beating Clifford is now the hot news on the internet!"
