A few seconds later, they heard someone mentioning that Tristan Davies had arrived. Hannah and Andrew, as well as Grandpa Lu and their parents, shifted their gaze in the direction of the entrance door.
They saw Tristan who was in his clean-cut stylish look matched with black pants, a dark grey suit, and a black shirt entered the banquet hall. When the reporters spotted him, in just a blink of an eye, he was surrounded by them.
"Mr. Davies, how are you? What do you feel about this engagement party of your brother and your best friend?"
"Mr. Davies, where have you been? What have you done in the past month? Is it true that you went into hiding because of your scandal?"
"Have you accepted already the fact that the woman you love is getting engaged with your brother?"
"Are you giving up your CEO position as an apology to your brother, Andrew?"
"Will you apologize to the couple tonight?"

They didn't give him a breather. They immediately bombarded him with so many questions, asking him one after another. Tristan had already expected this to happen that's why he decided to go inside first as he let Matthew escort Zhen-Zhen inside, rather than going together.
He didn't want Zhen-Zhen to be caught in the middle of these pesky reporters. Matthew and Zhen-Zhen were following Tristan behind. Tristan already instructed Matthew to guard Zhen-Zhen as he faced those reporters by himself.
"Mr. Davies, is it true that you asked one of your women to seduce your brother in Oceaniz City?" The reporter who asked this question was the person hired by his two evil cousins, Mark and Daniel.
Everyone fell silent after hearing the last question of that reporter. That statement was unknown to the other reporters present inside. Even the guests nearby had heard it. And now, they were speculating something in their mind.
Tristan's face darkened when that topic was suddenly brought up. He didn't want Zhen-Zhen's name to be involved in this matter.
A cold glint flashed through Tristan's eyes while gritting his teeth. 'Who tipped this reporter about that incident?'
Over the sound of soft music playing, a distant, hazy chatter could be heard. They were whispering about Tristan and his attempt of breaking the couple apart.
From the distance, Mr. and Mrs. Miller were enjoying the show. Their efforts of conniving with those reporters and bribing them didn't go to waste. Tristan's reputation would be totally ruined and there's no way he could redeem himself after that.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were thinking that this would be advantageous for their future son-in-law, Andrew. Grandpa Lu would have a second thought and might transfer the CEO position of Heavenly Star Enterprise to Andrew.
Aside from them, Mark and Daniel were rejoicing to see the dark expression of their cousin, Tristan. Reporters put him in the hot seat as soon as he arrived. The man they hired was also doing a good job.
The two of them already planned out to humiliate Tristan tonight in front of so many guests. Since Tristan remained silent after hearing the last question of the reporter, Mark decided to add fuel to the fire so that it won't be easily distinguished.
"Ho Ho Ho, Dear, cousin… did you really try doing that? Using one of your women to seduce your brother Andrew? So desperate, aren't we?" Mark said, mocking Tristan.
Everyone gasped in surprise and disbelief. Now, most of the guests were giving Tristan a ridiculing look. They thought he was so despicable to do that to his own brother. He even used an underhanded technique just to do that.
"Oh, But I heard it didn't work because Andrew was very faithful and loyal to Hannah. Besides, who can betray a girl like Hannah? She already has everything that a guy is looking for a woman." Daniel also commented, intentionally raising his voice so that everyone could hear it. Even the spectators on the sideline agreed with Daniel's remarks.
"Oh, who's that woman who tried to seduce Andrew?" Mark blurted out suddenly, a sly smile appeared on his face.

He swore that if Zhen-Zhen's name got drag with this then Tristan would ensure that they would get their Karma as soon as possible.
On the other hand, upon seeing the commotion, the twins, Jake and Blake, dashed towards Tristan to shove away the reporters who were surrounding him. Tristan couldn't move because they were blocking his way.
Grandpa Lu and Tristan's parents also started to walk in his direction. Mr. and Mrs. Miller as well as Hannah and Andrew followed them. Grandpa Lu asked Assistant Twig to call their bodyguards to control the reporters who were bugging Tristan.
"Tristan, calm down. This is what they want. Control yourself and don't make a scene." Jake whispered to Tristan when he noticed that Tristan was ready to throw a punch. He even held his shoulder, patting his back.
Blake looked at Tristan worriedly while he was busy sending the reporters away. But the reporters didn't listen. They didn't budge on their spot, waiting for Tristan to speak up.
Everyone's attention was focused on Tristan that they failed to notice the arrival of two newcomers. Zhen-Zhen in her crimson red maxi dress was being escorted by Matthew. She was stunning in red like she was a fire goddess.
Her fair skin was emphasized by the color of her dress. The dress looked nice on her, Her golden-brown wavy hair was fixed into Updos hairstyle that had a bountiful of curls, making her looks truly elegant.
From their current spot, Zhen-Zhen could see that Tristan was surrounded by a lot of people who were holding their cameras and recorders. She knew that something was wrong.
Before Matthew could stop her, Zhen-Zhen already traced her steps towards Tristan in a hurry. Her blue eyes filled with concern for Tristan.
