Chapter 378 Beneficial For The Sy Corp
Meanwhile, Andrew and Alveena, who went to grab some cold drinks in the fridge, stopped on their steps when Andrew turned around to face Alveena.
He held her shoulders and gently pushed her back on the fridge. His face was so serious as he stared at her intently.
"What did you do out there? Are you creating trouble here? Why did you say those words in front of my brother? Can you please think twice first before speaking your mind?" Andrew said spontaneously, scolding her.
"How can you pair up my brother's wife with your brother? Don't you know that you might offend my brother because of that statement?" Andrew felt like he was having a headache right now.
Alveena suddenly realized her mistake. No wonder the atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed. The guilt could now be seen in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend your brother. I meant no harm. I just said those words because I really like Lillie but it doesn't mean I will ship her with my brother," Alveena explained, feeling apologetic.
"I know Lillie is your brother's wife already. There's no way I will introduce her to my brother as his love interest. I said 'if Lillie is not married.' That was just my wishful thinking. Don't worry, I will apologize to CEO Tristan right away."
Andrew just exhaled deeply before nodding his head. "Alright, I understand. Just please refrain from talking too much sometimes. It will get you in trouble. Sigh."
Alveena also heaved a deep sigh and put on a pitiful face.
Andrew arched his eyebrow in amusement. "Why are you giving me that kind of face?"
"Argh. I'm stupid for making your brother upset. Will he hate me now? Sigh. I'm now on your brother's bad side." Alveena expressed her concern with him.
"Why are you looking so affected whether my brother will hate you or not? Does it really matter to you?" Andrew asked her curiously.
"Of course, it does matter to me! What if he will ask you to stay away from me because he hates me? Sigh!" Alveena blurted out while shaking Andrew's shoulder.
Andrew: "..."
He didn't know what to say anymore. Andrew gently hit her head.
"Ouch!"
"This silly girl. You are just overthinking. My brother won't do that. Come… Let's get some drinks and go back there. Make sure to behave this time, okay?"
Alveena bobbed her head frantically. Soon the two of them went back to the living room as Matthew and Sophia started to clean their table.
Alveena and Andrew paused on their tracks upon seeing the husband and wife kissing passionately in the living room.
The two of them felt embarrassed after witnessing that sweet moment between Tristan and Lillie. They immediately turned around, pretending not to see anything as they went back to the kitchen to help Matthew and Sophia in washing the dishes.
When they made sure that Zhen-Zhen and Tristan were not doing anything anymore, the four of them joined them again.
Alveena apologized to Tristan for what she said. Tristan also apologized for being sensitive and moody. After that, the atmosphere in the living room became lively again.

Meanwhile, if Zhen-Zhen and others were celebrating tonight, there were people who were sulking intl their respective houses.
Since Jade and her friends were grounded, they were not allowed to hang out to vent their frustration. They were just staying at home, calling each other over the phone as they talked about what transpired today.
They couldn't accept the fact that they lost to Sophia and Zhen-Zhen. Even the title Campus Belle was taken from them.
Zhen-Zhen became most popular in just one day. This incident caused Jade and her friends to feel bitter and jealous of her.
Jade's group together with Lester and John decided to do a video call to communicate and talk with everyone at the same time.
Emma: "Do you think Tristan Davis's support for Lillie had something to do with Matthew's and Sophia's revenge against us?"
Nyka: "Yeah. I am also thinking about that. They helped Sophia's friend to snatch the title of Campus Belle from Jade."
Jade who was just listening to them couldn't help but clench her fists. She was really mad. She felt like they were deceived by Sophia and Zhen-Zhen.
Zhen-Zhen's real appearance was a huge shock for everyone. No one had imagined that today would turn out like this. They felt like they were slapped on the face a hundred times.
John: "Don't worry, my Queen. We will get our revenge. I met the cousins of Tristan Davis. They will help me get our revenge against that arrogant boyfriend of Sophia."
Jade: "Tristan's cousins? Why are they helping you?"
John: "Yes. They also have animosity towards Tristan and Matthew, that's why they volunteered to help me. They also said that they would try to talk to the Chairman of Heavenly Star Enterprise to reconsider the decision regarding the blacklisting of our family's company."
Lester: " I hope if our company's concern will be fixed our parents will reduce our punishment. Staying at home is so boring. I missed driving my car."
Nyka: "I missed my cards. I can't buy the things I want. Can't do shopping!"
Emma: "I hate community service. Too tiring! Grrr."
Nyka: "I hate Sophia more. I will make sure to pay her for this. I will make her remaining stay here in the university a living hell."
Jade: "She's just lucky that she has Matthew Wilkins as her backing."
Lester: " By the way, John… What kind of revenge Tristan's cousins is planning against Matthew?
John: "All I can say is… an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. They said they would handle it. I can't wait. I am so excited and looking forward to seeing Matthew suffer."
Emma: "How's Marcus? Is he still mad? He is avoiding us. Not even joining our video call tonight."
Jade: "Just let him be. He will come back to his senses soon."
Nyka: "What if he is beginning to like Sophia for real? I think he is mad because he is affected by Sophia?"
Jade: "No way! Athena is the girl my brother likes. There's no way he will like Sophia for real. His ego was just hurt after knowing Sophia had a boyfriend."
Lester: "He is mad because he feels betrayed by us."

~ At Sy Residence ~
Clifford was currently being pestered by his parents, asking him to bring back Alveena who hasn't gone back home for five days now.
"What happened to Alveena? Do you have any news about your sister's whereabouts?" Mrs. Sy asked Clifford anxiously. She was worried sick about Alveena.
"Mom, I will hear an update from Dexter regarding this. I will inform you once I get the information. Don't worry too much. Alveena is already an adult. She can take care of herself."
"Okay, Son. I can't just help it. She just returned after staying in the States so I am worried that she's not yet familiar here in the City of Empire."
"This is our fault. We should have consulted her first, instead of setting her up with a guy." Mr. Sy also said his sentiment, regretting their actions.
"Dad, don't give in to her. She's just being stubborn and rebellious by doing this." Clifford responded to his father.
It did not take long when he received a call from Dexter, his assistant.
"Mom, Dad, I will get back to you. I will just answer this call. Maybe Dexter has found something about Alveena's whereabouts."
After saying that Clifford excused himself to his parents and went to his study as he answered the phone call.
Clifford: "Hello, Dex, how is it? Did your hired men find my sister?"
Dexter: "Boss, good news. They finally found Ms. Alveena. They said they saw her entering the building of Heavenly Star Enterprise."
A deep frown immediately appeared on Clifford's face when he heard that company's name.
Clifford: "That's Davis's Company. What is she doing there? Where is she right now?"
Dexter: "According to our hired men, Ms. Alveena started working as a personal assistant of one of the Directors of Heavenly Star Enterprise."
Clifford's eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't believe this. Heavenly Star Enterprise was their strongest competitor. Why the hell was she suddenly working there?
What was more unbelievable… She's working as a personal assistant!
Clifford: "That girl. I don't know what she is thinking. Who is the Director? Where is she staying?"
Dexter: "Finance Director, Andrew Davis, the brother of Tristan Davis. What is your order, CEO? Should we send our men to get Ms. Alveena? Should we get her back from Heavenly Star?"
Clifford fell silent for a moment. He was thinking about what he should do after learning that his sister was getting close with his enemies.
He didn't know how Alveena met Andrew Davis and why she suddenly became his personal assistant. However, because of this Clifford came up with a plan.
Clifford: "No, don't do anything for a while. I will talk to my sister personally. I don't know what she is planning by doing this. But I think it will be beneficial for the Sy Corp, if she's working in that company. Just ask your men to investigate how Alveena became involved with the Davis Family."
Clifford's lips stretched out into a smirk. There was a gleam in his eyes when he said those words.
Dexter: "Noted, sir."
Dexter had somehow figured out what Clifford was trying to do here.
'Is he planning to use Alveena and become his spy, now that she's working in Heavenly Star under the Finance Director, or is he planning to use her to get revenge against Tristan Davis?'
