BXBX NOVEL Chapter 471 It Was A Trap!
"Have sex with me, right here… right now."
Tristan: "..."
Tristan couldn't believe what he had just heard from her. 'Is she kidding me?!! What the hell she is thinking!!'
Angelique rejoiced inwardly after seeing Tristan's flustered expression. She thought her seduction was working. She played the wine glass in her hand while waiting for Tristan's response.
After a few seconds, Tristan had recovered from his deep stupor. He finally found his voice to respond to her very tempting offer.
"Miss Rioz, are you sure about this? Is that really what you want?" Tristan asked her. His face was now void of any emotion.
"Yes, Tristan. That's all I want. After that, I can become your company's model again. It's a win-win situation for you."
Tristan couldn't help but burst out laughing. After he was done, he stared at Angelique intently, moving his gaze from her face to her body.
Angelique felt satisfied seeing Tristan checking her out. She really thought that Tristan would take her offer.
Tristan stood up, smiling at her. "Nice offer, Miss Rioz. You know what I'm so glad that you backed out to be our model. Heavenly Star Enterprise doesn't need a supermodel like you."
Angelique was taken aback when she heard that. Tristan was not yet done. He clapped his hands while giving her a mocking look.
"Congratulations, Miss Rioz. You just became number one in our company's blacklist! Heavenly Star Enterprise will never again work with someone like you."
"I think we are done talking Miss Rioz. so all I can say is… ADIOS!"
After saying that, Tristan immediately marched out of her study. Angelique was left speechless in her spot. She couldn't believe that Tristan would refuse her. She felt really insulted by the words he threw at her moments ago.
Bam!
Tristan slammed the door so hard. Tristan was furious. When he heard that offer coming from Angelique, at that certain moment, he already knew that this was a trap.
From the beginning, when Matthew told them that Angelique only wanted to talk to him, he already knew that she was up to something. His suspicion grew when they let Matthew stay behind, not allowing him to accompany Tristan in her study.
He confirmed his suspicion when he saw Angelique's appearance. She was clearly trying to seduce him. And he suspected that this was one of Clifford's schemes in order to ruin his relationship with Zhen-Zhen.
That thought was the one making him furious right now. He was boiling with rage. Clifford would not stop until he succeeded in breaking them apart. Tristan would not allow this. NEVER!
"Fools!" Tristan mumbled through his gritted teeth.
When he reached the living room, Tristan called Matthew with his stern cold voice.
"Matthew. Let's go! We don't need to waste our precious time here."
Matthew, who was clueless about what happened in his conversation with Angelique, stood up immediately and followed Tristan. They never bothered saying goodbye to Karen and Sandra.
When they were already inside the car, Matthew asked Tristan about what happened that made him so angry.
"Tristan, what happened with your negotiation with Miss Rioz?"
Tristan slammed his eyes shut while gritting his teeth. He was really mad about this kind of scheme. He was already tired of these things.
He was already fed up with people bringing up his ugly past… Hannah, Clifford… and others who were still thinking that he was still the same Tristan who would sleep with every woman.
"Matthew, do you think I don't deserve to have a happy life?"
Matthew fell silent after hearing that. He asked Tristan about what happened out there but here he was, asking him this kind of question.
"I tried to change… How many times should I prove to them that I am already a changed man? When I made up my mind to fix my life, someone would come out trying to mess it up once again. Is this really my Karma?" Tristan was feeling emotional right now.
Matthew heaved a deep sigh. He understood Tristan's feelings right now. He knew that his best friend was trying so hard to just live simply and happily with his wife despite his ugly past.
"Tris… All I can say is that… ignore them. Their thoughts and opinions about you don't matter. The important thing you should focus on is your family and loved ones."
Tristan opened his eyes when he heard that. Matthew was right. As long as Zhen-Zhen was loving him and still believing in him. That's all that matters.
"Thank you, Matt. I will keep that in mind."
*****
Meanwhile, After she recovered from the insult Tristan threw at her, Angelique picked up her phone and contacted someone. The phone rang for several seconds before it was answered.
The person from the other line was none other than Clifford Sy. Tristan's and Matthew's suspicions were right. Clifford was behind this trick.
Angelique: "Mr. Sy. I'm afraid to tell you but Tristan Davis didn't take the bait."
Angelique was really disappointed with the outcome. A few days ago, Clifford Sy went to see her. He offered her something that she couldn't refuse. She made a deal with him.
There were two conditions she needed to do. First, she would no longer become the representative of Heavenly Star Enterprise. Clifford knew that she was the chosen model of Tristan's company.
Second, she needed to lure Tristan and seduce him. She needed to record their intimate moment. That video would be used to ruin his relationship with his wife, Zhen-Zhen. Clifford was planning to let Zhen-Zhen watch the video as proof that Tristan betrayed her.
But they underestimated Tristan's self-control and his love for his wife. They never expected that Tristan would refuse Angelique's tempting offer.
Clifford: "It's alright. Just come to the office now. We will give you instructions about the product showcasing event. After all, you will become our model now."
Angelique smiled after hearing that.
Angelique: "Alright, Mr. Sy. I will just change my clothes and go there asap."
Clifford hung up the phone after that. He was having conflicting thoughts right now. His second plan didn't work. He only had one option left but he was hesitating to do it because of Zhen-Zhen.
