Zhen-Zhen opened the door wide for Hannah and invited her in. Hannah followed her behind, still assessing Zhen-Zhen. She roamed her eyes around the room, searching for Tristan but she didn't see him.
"Tristan is taking a bath. He will come out later," Zhen-Zhen said, answering Hannah's question in her mind. Zhen-Zhen noticed that Hannah was looking for him.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Hannah asked her directly. She didn't want to stay longer. She still couldn't bear to see Zhen-Zhen and Tristan together.
Her jealousy was consuming her. She didn't know what was good at Zhen-Zhen aside from her beautiful face. After the rejection she got from Tristan last night, her hatred towards Zhen-Zhen intensified more.
Zhen-Zhen faced Hannah with her serious expression. They stopped in the middle of the living room of Tristan's VIP suite.
"We are now even. But this time I have to warn you. Stay away from my husband. He is no longer in love with you." Zhen-Zhen said to Hannah firmly.
Hannah was bewildered by her frankness. 'I knew it! This girl is just pretending to be kind and sweet in front of Tristan's family. But the truth is she's a white lotus!' Hannah thought to herself while looking daggers at Zhen-Zhen.
Hannah sneered at her and responded, "Who gives you the right to say that to me? Tristan is my childhood friend! Why should I stay away from him?"
"If that's the case then you should act as a friend, not a woman who is trying to chase after a married man."
Hannah let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Why? Are you afraid? You are threatened by my presence since I am his first love? Well, hmm I understand if you are insecure about me. You know first love is hard to forget." Hannah said, provoking Zhen-Zhen. She was annoyed by her strong personality today so she won't back down.
By Zhen-Zhen's words, Hannah could tell that she already knew what happened to them last night. She learned that Hannah tried to seduce Tristan.
Hannah's lips curled up into a wicked smile when Zhen-Zhen stayed silent. She wanted to make some lie to stir a conflict between Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
"Hmm, don't you know that I had a very good time last night because of Tristan," Hannah said with a taunting smile on her face.
Zhen-Zhen just remained quiet. A deep frown crept on her forehead as she listened to Hannah's lies.
"Tristan celebrated with me the success of my exhibit. We bonded last night, talking, eating, and drinking… just having time just like old times sake. Do you know what that means? I still have a special spot in his heart," Hannah said proudly, boasting at her.
Then Hannah checked her out from top to bottom. She walked closer to Zhen-Zhen and whispered, "I guess, Tristan really has great stamina. Don't you agree, Lillie? How is he? Did he still perform well after getting tired of entertaining me last night?"
"I bet Tristan had told you a different story. Hmm… All I can say is… Tristan is really great in bed." Hannah didn't care anymore about her image.
She was aware that seducing a married man was not something she could be proud of. She just wanted to provoke and anger Zhen-Zhen and create a misunderstanding between the husband and wife as part of her revenge.
The rejection she got last night was so embarrassing. She would never admit that to Zhen-Zhen. She would prefer to lie than to accept her failure.
Even if Tristan insisted to Zhen-Zhen that she was just lying, planting doubt and suspicion in Zhen-Zhen's mind was enough for her to shake their relationship.
After her long silence, Zhen-Zhen finally spoke up to her. "Hannah, do you hear what are you saying right now? What do you want to prove to me by saying these lies?"
"Do you not care what Andrew would feel once he learned about this? He is your fiancee and Tristan's brother! How could you do this to him? He loves you so much," Zhen-Zhen added as she remembered Andrew.
Hannah fell silent at the mention of Andrew's name. Her face was covered by complicated emotions. Andrew was also a special and important person to her but… Tristan was the one her heart was desiring most.
"Hannah, you can't have your cake and eat it. Don't be so greedy. You can't have them both at the same time. Make up your mind or else you will end up losing Andrew as well." Zhen-Zhen said with full of meaning. This was a reminder and at the same time a warning for Hannah.
Zhen-Zhen's words were like arrows hitting the bullseye in Hannah's heart. She had no words to refute that. She was speechless and didn't know what to say to her.
"I am being kind and considerate to you because I have wronged you before when I tried to seduce Andrew. But I will not tolerate you the next time you will try to create another misunderstanding between me and Tristan."
"You might be his first love. And you said first love is hard to forget. But I will tell you this… it's hard to forget but it does not mean it's not impossible to forget. I believe Tristan had already forgotten you." Zhen-Zhen said confidently.
She trusted Tristan. She believed him that nothing happened between him and Hannah last night. Hannah's lies could not shake her trust in Tristan. Their love was getting stronger and stronger each day.
"Hannah, I would rather believe my husband's words than the words of someone who tried to covet my husband, trying to break us apart," Zhen-Zhen said those words while staring intently at her eyes.
Hannah couldn't believe this. She was trying to provoke Zhen-Zhen but in the end, she was ended up on the losing end. It looked like she underestimated Zhen-Zhen and Tristan's love for each other.
Hannah had nothing else to say so she just walked out of Tristan's VIP suite without saying goodbye to Zhen-Zhen. She didn't want to admit it but she looked pathetic moments ago and she hated it!
