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

~ Heavenly Star Enterprise ~

MONDAY

"Matt, what happened last Saturday? Why did you suddenly leave without informing me?" Tristan asked Matthew.

They were now inside Tristan's office. He was busy working on his laptop while Matthew was standing in front of him. 

Matthew was being questioned right now by Tristan. During the Acquaintance Party, Matthew left to accompany Sophia in the hospital and dropped her home.

He didn't mention anything to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen as requested by Sophia. She didn't want them to know the humiliating incident that happened to her.

After returning to the venue, Zhen-Zhen accompanied Grandpa Lu instead of joining her other classmates. Sophia was also nowhere to be found so she chose to bond with Grandpa Lu.

Tristan, on the other hand, spent his time entertaining and talking with Liam. He asked him a few questions about Zhen-Zhen's performance in school.

Tristan kept Liam occupied so that he won't get a chance to get near Zhen-Zhen.

When it was time to go home, Tristan noticed that Matthew was missing.

He called him several times but Matthew was not answering. Unknown to Tristan, Matthew was busy comforting Sophia at those times.

"Sorry, Tris. An emergency happened at home so I left without saying a word," Matthew said, making some excuses.

They were still talking when they heard a knock on the door. Tristan signaled the person outside to enter.

Assistant Twig got inside, greeting Tristan and Matthew with a serious expression on his face.

"Assistant Twig, why are you here? Did the Chairman ask for me?" Tristan asked Assistant Twig curiously.

Assistant Twig heaved a deep sigh before answering him.

"Young Master Tristan, Matthew, the Chairman received a message from the University of Imperial Knights. There are two students who file a complaint against Matthew for assaulting them during the Acquaintance Party."

"The University requested Matthew's presence to get the side of his story. The two students were also planning to file charges against you, Matthew," Assistant Twig looked at Matthew worriedly.

Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. It was so unlikely that Matthew would fight some college students. 

He had a strong self-control and patience. He wouldn't go around beating anyone without a valid reason.

Tristan glanced at Matthew, lifting an eyebrow. He folded his arm across his chest while assessing Matthew's expression.

"What have you done, Matt? Was that the reason you disappeared? You got into a fight with college students, beating them?" Tristan started to interrogate him.

Matthew wanted to keep his silence about the incident because Sophia asked him to. Who would have thought that the two men would think of filing a complaint against him?

'Wow, they have the guts? They were the ones who tried to take advantage of Sophia. Are they really asking for their punishment?' Matthew smirked at that thought.

Since it resulted in this, then he could no longer keep quiet. He would seize this opportunity to punish those two accomplices.

'It seems that a few beatings is not enough for them.'

"Matt, I am asking you what happened?" Tristan repeated his question as Matthew remained silent as if he was thinking about something.

"I promised Sophia not to tell you and Lillie. But I couldn't let this slide and just forget about what happened. It's a good thing that they are the ones to make this move. Now, I have the reason to reveal their evil scheme." Matthew said to him meaningfully.

Assistant Twig and Tristan exchanged glances with one another. They could feel Matthew's unhappiness and rage. Now, they became curious about what transpired during the Acquaintance Party that made Matthew beat two students.

"What do you mean, Matt? What are you talking about? Did the incident concern Sophia?" Tristan asked him eagerly.

"Marcus and his friends plotted something against Sophia during the party. I happened to overhear the conversation of Marcus' sister and her friends about Sophia being drugged and Marcus sleeping with her." Matthew's eyes were burning with rage just recalling that incident.

"What?! They did that to Sophia?" Tristan was surprised to hear that.

'My wife will not be happy once she hears this. Sophia is her friend. She cares for her,' Tristan was thinking about Zhen-Zhen's reaction once she learned this.

Matthew nodded his head to confirm. "Fortunately, I came on time. Those two students were stopping me to find Sophia so I beat them. After rescuing Sophia from the hand of Marcus, I brought her to the hospital."

Matthew continued telling Tristan and Assistant Twig about what happened.

"They spiked her drinks with an aphrodisiac drug. I also brought the wine to the laboratory. It's positive. The wine contained drugs." 

After saying that, Matthew's expression darkened as he clenched his fists.

"I tried to convince Sophia to file a complaint but she refused. She just wanted to forget what happened and live a quiet life in the school. So I have no choice but to respect her decision," Matthew heaved a frustrated sigh.

"I wanted to punish those bastards but Sophia didn't want this issue to escalate and be known in the campus. She's afraid that this issue would be the talk of the campus once she complained against them."

Tristan stood up and slammed his table using his two hands.

"Let's go to the University of Imperial Knights. Let's give those bastards a lesson. You should protect your girl, Matthew." Tristan was also mad.

"Even though she asked you to forget about what happened, you should have done something to punish those jerks!" Tristan was scolding Matthew.

"Of course, we will find ways so that this issue will not affect Sophia."

Assistant Twig and Matthew just stared at Tristan in disbelief. They didn't expect him to be so hyped like this. They had to admit that Tristan had a point. The two men both agreed with Tristan.

Tristan was acting like this because someone close to Zhen-Zhen was involved. He knew that his wife would be upset and sad if anything bad happened to her friend, Sophia.

So Tristan won't allow the perpetrators to go unpunished. They had to bear the consequence of their evil actions.

"Assistant Twig, please let grandpa know that we will go out for a while. If he will ask you the reason, just explain everything to him," Tristan requested Assistant Twig.

"Noted, Young Master," Assistant Twig promptly responded. He somehow knew what Tristan was trying to do here.

Then Tristan turned to Matthew. "Matt, what are you waiting for? Let's go! We will avenge your girl and teach those college jerks a good lesson!"

Matthew stayed rooted in his spot, blinking his eyes several times as he absorbed Tristan's words.

'Avenge my girl? Hmm, not bad. I like that idea.'

After a while, a sly smile appeared on Tristan's and Matthew's face. They immediately left the office to face John and Lester at the school.

**********

~ University of Imperial Knights ~

John and Lester were now sitting inside the Guidance Counsellor's Office. Some representatives of the Student Council were also present.

They immediately filed a complaint against Matthew. They still had no idea that he was not a student of the University.

They presented all the evidence that they were assaulted that night. They asked the help of Student Council members who were the event organizers of the Acquaintance Party.

They tried to identify the identity of the person who beat John and Lester. Upon checking the CCTV camera located at the entrance of the venue, they found Matthew.

That's the time they found out that Matthew was not a student. He came along with the Chairman and the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise.

John and Lester were quite shocked after knowing that Matthew was related to the Davis Family. 

They thought the school would be able to give him disciplinary punishment for what he did to them. Unfortunately, he was not a student anymore.

But they couldn't care less now. They already filed the complaint and the University of Imperial Knights already sent a request to Matthew to explain his side.

Little did they know that Matthew knew about the 'drugging incident' and he had acquired a piece of evidence to support his claim.

He could use it to justify his actions and at the same time, to reveal their evil schemes so that John and Lester would be subjected to punishment.

Tristan and Matthew already thought of a plan so that no one would know about the incident, aside from the students who were involved.

They would try to protect Sophia's name and reputation at all costs even if Tristan had to use his influence as part of the Davis Family.

After 20 minutes of waiting inside the Guidance Office, Matthew and Tristan finally arrived. 

Everyone didn't expect that Tristan Davis, the mighty CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise, would also come today.

Upon entering the office, Matthew was welcomed by scrutinizing eyes of John and Lester that were filled with hatred and rage. They could still vividly remember how he beat them before.
