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

~ University of Imperial Knights ~

Marcus and Sophia arrived first at the venue. As usual, their arrival caught the attention of other students who were already in the venue.

They started to talk about them once again, thinking that Marcus and Sophia were already exclusively dating. They took notice also of the bouquet of white roses that Sophia was holding.

Their suspicion that the two of them were in a relationship intensified. They could only speculate since Marcus's friends and his sister, Jade, kept their mouths shut regarding the true score between Marcus and Sophia.

Everyone, especially those students who knew Sophia personally, was surprised by her new transformation. They were still in disbelief seeing how beautiful she had become after her makeover.

Now, they regretted ignoring her before. They didn't even try to get close to her because they had some biases when it came to nerdy people just like her.

They thought she was just a brainy boring and plain person with whom they didn't want to associate themselves.

They preferred to befriend those beautiful and socialites women who were famous on the campus.

Now that Sophia changed her look and style, their impressions of her suddenly changed. They started to admire her for being smart and charming- a true epitome of Beauty and Brain.

Other students started talking good things about Sophia. Jade and her friends could hear them. There was a hint of annoyance and irritation on their faces.

They felt annoyed and irritated since they thought Sophia had stolen the spotlight from them. She became famous in an instant after being paired with Marcus.

"Jade, honestly… I hate this turn of events!" Nyka couldn't help but complain to her.

Jade and Emma turned to Nyka with their questioning gaze.

"What are you talking about, Sissy?" Emma asked Nyka curiously.

"I don't like Sophia getting lots of attention lately as if she is some kind of public figure wherein everyone is talking about her," Nyka snorted.

"Sissy, don't worry. You are not alone. I feel the same way."

Jade could only sigh helplessly while shaking her head. Her friends were very vocal about this but she preferred to keep quiet. She didn't want to make it obvious that even she, herself, felt a little bit bitter towards Sophia.

"You know what… I couldn't wait to see her getting embarrassed in the whole campus once Marcus stopped seeing her. Our plan must succeed tonight so that Marcus will no longer need to get close with Sophia," Nyka shared her opinions with them.

"I agree. We only need to have something that we can use to blackmail her so that she will follow every word we say," Emma agreed on Nyka's remarks.

"By the way, how's the preparation?" she added, referring to their scheme against Sophia.

"John and Lester are the ones preparing everything that we need tonight." It was Jade who answered Emma's query.

"Did they talk to your brother? The bet… he is still doing it, isn't he?" Nyka wanted to make sure that the bet was still on.

"I don't know. Maybe later. Besides, if Marcus will back down at the last minute, we still have a backup plan. John is willing to do it, instead of Marcus," Jade reassured them.

"Eh, how is that possible? Marcus is the one Sophia likes, not John. She will never act intimate with John," Nyka raised her concern about this back-up plan. 

She was in doubt whether it would work or not if ever Marcus would back down in the end.

Jade's lips curled up into a wicked smile and said, "There's one simple solution to that. They will have to drug her. John is planning to spike Sophia's drinks."

"Whoah, that's a great idea. It will be easy to record her scandal if she is drugged." Nyka said, exhilarated by that idea.

Then the three of them couldn't help but laugh at that thought. They were excited about the execution of their plan.

Sophia could no longer act proudly in front of them. What if she was the smartest student in their class? She would just be toyed by the guy she liked.

If she also had scandal there's also a possibility that she would be expelled from their school. This was a perfect scheme to blackmail her to do and get everything they wanted from her.

Sophia couldn't afford to be expelled or to lose her scholarship so they were certain that Sophia would follow their orders just to hide her scandal video.

The three ladies were still talking when Athena and a representative from the Student Council approached them.

"Hello girls, may we interrupt you for a moment? There's something we want to tell Jade," Athena politely said to them, wearing her friendly smile.

The three of them just nodded and greeted Athena and the Student Council Representative. That representative was the same person who gave orientation to Zhen-Zhen during her first day of class.

"What do you want to tell me?" Jade asked them curiously.

The Student Council representative was the one who answered her.

"I came here to relay a message from our University President. He requested the help of the two Campus Belle, Athena and you."

Jade frowned when she heard that. She knew that this was not an ordinary request because it came from the University President, "Help with what?"

"He wanted the two of you to become the usherette of our two special guests tonight. You have to entertain, accompany and tend to their needs during the entire duration of the program." The representative explained to Jade.

"Are you willing to do this, Ms. Jade?" 

Jade couldn't decide yet. She was thinking that she won't be able to enjoy the party if she would become the usherette.

She was hesitating so she asked Athena. "Did you agree already?"

Athena nodded at her with a smile. "Yes, I did. Because it's a request from the higher-ups. Besides, the guests are really VIP. They came from one of the prominent families in the City of Empire."

"Who are they?" Jade asked her again.

"The Chairman and the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise! Luke Davis and Tristan Davis!"

Jade: "..."

Emma: "O.M.G!"

Nyka: "Oh my gosh!"
