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

When the University President heard from Mary that Chairman Lu wanted to speak with him, he immediately came out of the venue to personally welcome Grandpa Lu and Tristan at the entrance.

He saw them talking with the ladies whom he chose to be the usherettes of the special guests. 

The Davis Family was one of the wealthy, powerful, and influential families in the City of Empire.

The President wanted to accommodate them and give them special treatment by assigning the two of the most beautiful ladies of their school to become their personal usherettes.

He wanted to impress and make the guests feel comfortable during the entire duration of the party. It was very rare for Chairman Luke Davis to attend this kind of occasion. 

In the past, he invited Grandpa Lu several times but this was the first time he came personally. 

Grandpa Lu would usually send someone like Assistant Twig as representative on his behalf once he didn't want to make an appearance.

The Davis Family was very supportive of the school projects, sponsoring and giving lots of donations to the school. 

That's the main reason why the University President was aiming to build a strong rapport with the Davis Family, most especially the head of the Family who was none other than Grandpa Lu. 

This was also his chance to express his heartfelt gratitude to Chairman Lu for every support and help the Davis family had given to the university.

So as expected, the President couldn't refuse the little request coming from Grandpa Lu. Grandpa Lu's wish was granted.

The president let him choose his own personal usherette tonight. With that, Grandpa Lu would be able to keep Zhen-Zhen by his side.

Tristan tried to negotiate with Grandpa Lu but his plea was ignored. Grandpa Lu was determined not to let Tristan have Zhen-Zhen because tonight was a bonding time with his granddaughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Athena was the one who would accompany Tristan because she was the senior student. That only meant Jade's presence was no longer needed. She missed her opportunity to get closer and to know more about Tristan Davis.

She tried to maintain her smile although deep inside she felt very upset with this turn of events. It's the President's decision so she had no choice but to follow. It was just frustrating since she thought she was lucky tonight to be with a handsome CEO, Tristan Davis.

If Jade was feeling frustrated, Athena, on the other hand, was rejoicing inwardly. She was supposed to accompany Chairman Lu but now ended up being usherette by Tristan.

She knew how disappointed Jade was after what happened. But they couldn't do anything. They had to follow and respect the President's decision. They had no say about this.

'Sorry, sissy. It seems like I am the lucky one tonight, not you,' Athena thought to herself while looking at Jade's gloomy face.

Though Jade wanted to look like she's just fine, Athena could tell that she's not fine at all. She knew that Jade was very upset right now. Because of this, Jade couldn't help but feel annoyed and irritated with the girl who was chosen by Chairman Lu and that person was Zhen-Zhen.

She felt something suspicious about the girl. She wondered why Chairman Lu was so determined to make her his usherette. She learned from Marie that her name was Lillie Meyer. 

She believed that she's not even related to the Davis Family. Besides, the surname Meyer was not that famous in the City of Empire. She wondered if she's one of their family close friends and her family was also influential in the City of Empire.

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen and Matthew were also surprised when Mary informed Lillie that she would serve as an usherette tonight for Chairman Lu. Mary asked her if she's willing to do it. Zhen-Zhen agreed in an instant.

Grandpa Lu looked at her meaningfully, his eyes sparkling with joy. Tristan, on the other hand, couldn't help but put on a pitiful face while looking at Zhen-Zhen. 

He felt like crying. So he just made a mental note that he should stick and sit beside Grandpa Lu so that he could also get near her.

Soon, they all entered the venue. Grandpa Lu, Tristan, Matthew, and the University President together with Mary, Athena, and Zhen-Zhen proceeded on the stage while Jade went back to the spot where her friends were gathered.

She walked over and joined them with her gloomy expression. Marcus and Sophia were also with her friends now. Emma and Nyka were surprised to see her.

"Hey, why are you here? We thought you were supposed to accompany our special guests?" Emma asked Jade immediately.

"Did you meet Tristan Davis? How handsome is he in person?" Nyka also threw her a question.

Hearing their queries added fuel to her already foul mood as she couldn't accept the humiliation she got for being rejected tonight. She felt like she's been kicked out unjustly, for no valid reason.

"Hey, are you okay? What's wrong with your face?" Emma asked her worriedly.

Jade fell silent. She didn't know how she would answer their questions without being embarrassed. How could she tell them that she was replaced by some random girl in becoming an usherette? 

"I changed my mind. I backed out at the last minute because I was thinking that I won't be able to enjoy the party with my friends once I serve as an usherette," Jade said, lying to them.

"Oh, then why are you in a bad mood?" Emma probed.

"It's nothing. I'm just not feeling well today," she flatly said.

Emma and Nyka exchanged glances with one another, feeling a little bit suspicious. They knew her. Something might have upset her to act like this. They just decided to drop the topic since they were aware that Jade didn't want to talk about it.

After a while, they heard some ruckus nearby. Some students started talking about the special guests who just arrived, walking towards the center of the stage where the other School Administration and Faculty Staff were already waiting for them.

Sophia's eyes widened when she saw a particular person on the stage. 'Eh, what is Lillie doing there? I thought they would keep her connection with the Davis Family a secret?'
