Weekend came. The Davis Family was holding a family gathering today at the Davis Family Mansion. Since not everyone knew about Zhen-Zhen's pregnancy yet, they would also announce this tonight.
Hannah and the Miller Family were also attending tonight's gathering. Mr. Miller had already talked to Hannah. They agreed that they should schedule Hannah's wedding with Andrew.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller felt bitter after watching the live broadcast of the Gala wherein Tristan officially introduced Zhen-Zhen as his legal wife.
They thought Lillie Meyer just stole the limelight by becoming the first granddaughter-in-law of Grandpa Lu. It should have been Hannah if Tristan didn't register his marriage with Zhen-Zhen right away.
Now, the Miller Family wanted to pressure Andrew to do the wedding ceremony soon. It was not Andrew's fault for not marrying Hannah sooner. They had forgotten that it was Hannah who decided to delay their wedding for another year.
Since Hannah chose her career as an artist and a painter, his father had decided that he would be the one to join the Heavenly Star Enterprise on behalf of Hannah.
He wanted to assist and help Andrew to have a higher position. If possible, he still wanted Andrew to take over Tristan's position as CEO.
With the help of the Davis Family and the Heavenly Star Enterprise, Mr. Miller wanted to boost their Family Business.
Once Hannah became Andrew's wife and officially became part of the Davis Family, he could use this as an advantage to further strengthen Miller's company. So this wedding was so important to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller would try to talk to Lucas and Isabelle regarding the marriage of their children. They should push it as soon as possible. They wanted the marriage to happen within this year.
Everyone was already in the mansion when the Miller Family arrived. Hannah and Andrew also came together.
Upon entering the mansion, they immediately noticed that the three elders of the Davis Family~ Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Alejandro, and Grandma Clara, were surrounding Zhen-Zhen. They were happily conversing with her.
"I couldn't understand what they saw in that bitch that the elders are very fond of her," Mrs. Miller whispered to her husband, Mr. Miller.
"Just don't mind them… They were just blinded by her beauty. She is so good at acting so pure and innocent. Our Hannah is still better than her," Mr. Miller responded, consoling his wife.
"Come, let's talk to Lucas and Isabelle." Mr. Miller guided his wife to approach Andrew's and Tristan's parents.
Lucas and Isabelle were talking to Thomas and Alice, Zhen-Zhen's adopted parents when Mr. and Mrs. Miller came to talk to them. The husband and wife welcomed the Miller Family with wide smiles on their faces.
"It's been so long since the last time we saw each other. How have you been?" Mrs. Miller asked the husband and wife, ignoring Zhen-Zhen's parents.
Alice and Thomas felt awkward facing the Miller Family so they just said goodbye to Lucas and Isabelle. They could feel that Mr. and Mrs. Miller were still looking down on them.
Isabelle and Lucas also felt that the two families were not on good terms so they just let Thomas and Alice join Zhen-Zhen who was now talking to the elders.
After saying goodbye to Zhen-Zhen's parents, Isabelle and Lucas brought their attention back to Mr. and Mrs. Miller.
"Everything is just fine. We were all busy, that's why we didn't see each other often," Isabelle plainly responded.
"Hmm, Yeah, the last time we got together was when we were preparing for Andrew and Hannah's engagement party. Maybe we need to have another major occasion so we can see each other often." Mr. Miller said to them meaningfully.
Isabelle and Lucas just laughed at Mr. Miller's last remark. They had no idea that Mr. Miller was talking about Hannah's and Andrew's wedding ceremony.
It was Mrs. Miller who mentioned it directly to them. "How about Andrew's and Hannah's marriage?"
Lucas and Isabelle met each other's gaze. They hadn't thought about that since they were occupied by Zhen-Zhen's pregnancy. Their attention was focused on Zhen-Zhen in the past few weeks.
"Oh, regarding that, let us allow Andrew and Hannah to decide about their wedding. No matter what their decision is, we will just support them," Lucas said, responding to Mrs. Miller.
But Isabelle couldn't help but make a side comment. "I hope Tristan and Lillie will do their wedding ceremony first. Then Hannah and Andrew can do it next year. It's bad luck to have two wedding ceremonies in one year for both brothers."
Mrs. Miller didn't like Isabelle's opinion about this. She was about to object and express her feelings when Mr. Miller held her hand, signaling her to keep quiet.
Arguing with Isabelle was not the right thing to do at this moment. He knew his wife, once she let her negative emotions take over her then they would just do them no good.
His wife already made a mistake before when she slapped Zhen-Zhen during the camping. The elders didn't like her actions. Mr. Miller wanted to prevent those things from happening again.
They couldn't afford to offend the elders, especially Grandpa Lu. So as much as possible, they had to control their emotions and be careful with their every action in front of the Davis Family.
If they had to pretend that they liked Zhen-Zhen just to appease the elders, then they had no choice but to do it.
Meanwhile, Mark and Daniel were talking to each other, clueless about the upcoming punishment they would receive tonight from Grandpa Lu.
They were laughing at the corner talking about Tristan. They saw his wounded face. The bruises were still visible but it didn't make him less attractive.
They could also see that he couldn't walk straight yet. They could just imagine the pain he had gone through after being beaten by the Bermuda Gang members.
"Served him right!" Daniel said, raising his glass of wine to his cousin Mark for a toast.
"Yeah, that's true. Too bad, the Bermuda Gang was caught. We didn't get to see the video clips." Mark said, feeling disappointed.
"Hey, did you hear? John Bancroft was released from jail already. And Tristan didn't continue the lawsuit against him. Did you help him, brother? " Daniel asked Mark curiously.
Just a few days ago, Alexis asked for their help but Mark and Daniel didn't do anything.
"No. I didn't. According to my source, Mr. Bancroft visited Grandpa Lu in the Heavenly Star Enterprise. Maybe he was the one who convinced Tristan to stop filing the complaints." Mark responded nonchalantly.
"Hahaha. That's good! At least, Alexis will not bother us further. His beloved brother is already free. His father took care of everything."
"See, I told you… our plan is foolproof," Mark proudly said.
Mark and Daniel erupted into a peal of laughter.
They had no idea that Tristan and Matthew noticed them.
"Your two evil cousins look like they were enjoying the night," Matthew whispered to Tristan.
"Let them be. They will end up crying after this." Tristan smirked meaningfully.
Tristan and Matthew looked at each other meaningfully. They could already imagine Mark's and Daniel's reactions after tonight's announcement.
