Tristan did not know how he would react in front of them. No wonder everyone who was present in that room was giving him deathly glares and disappointed looks.

He never imagined that time like this would happen just because of one night of being drunk. He was certain that this video was taken just outside their family mansion after that family dinner.

He already had people in mind who would try to do this to him. He already suspected his two evil cousins as the culprits who took this video.

'F*ck! I should have controlled my alcohol in-take that night. I will never get drunk again in the future. I always cause trouble when I'm drunk. Jeez… this blabbering mouth of mine!' Tristan scolded himself inwardly.

He felt embarrassed right now. He didn't know how to face them, especially Hannah and Andrew. He had a bad feeling about this. It seemed that there would be more misunderstanding between the two brothers.

Now Grandpa Lu and their parents including Hannah's parents would be confronting him about this embarrassing stupid.

'Pathetic Fool!' Tristan reprimanded himself once again. He felt the heavy air surrounding them. The tension was there making Tristan uneasy.

He was racking his brain hard on how he would redeem himself and give them a proper explanation about his inappropriate conduct in the video.

After the deafening silence, Grandpa Lu spoke once again.

"Why are you so quiet, grandson? What can you say about your spectacular performance?" Grandpa Lu sneered at him, mocking him at the same time.

Tristan started to release cold sweats. His ears were burning red from too much embarrassment.

After a while, his awkward chuckle bubbled up in the entire room. He was trying to lighten the atmosphere by laughing and not taking it seriously.

"Grandpa, I think I said those because I was under the influence of alcohol. Blame my drunken state." Tristan scratched his face while smiling at them sheepishly.

"Thinking about that, who is responsible for recording me in that state? That person even posted it to the internet to ruin my reputation. Should we investigate this matter? It happened just outside our family mansion. I don't think it was a work of paparazzi because, in the first place, I'm not an actor." Tristan added, pointing out that someone just wanted to ruin his image and that someone could be a member of the Davis Family.

Grandpa Lu just squinted his eyes at him while his brows were drawn together in a deep frown. Tristan couldn't tell what Grandpa Lu was thinking as of this moment.

Hannah and Andrew just remained silent while Tristan's parents could only sigh deeply, having mixed emotions on their faces. Hannah's parents were the ones who were giving Tristan a ridiculing look.

Mr. Miller could no longer keep his silence. "That's not the reason why we are gathered here today, Tristan. Our main concern is your action, not the one who took that video. We should be thankful to that person since because of this, we learned that you were plotting something against Andrew and Hannah."

Tristan's lips twitched. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

'Why are they fussing about this? I am the victim here. My pitiful self in my drunken state was just recorded, spreading out on the internet.

"Uncle, those were just empty words coming from a drunk man who was not in his right mind, just venting out his frustration. Can't I just fix this by apologizing to them? Why are you making this a big issue as if Andrew and Hannah are the victims? I'm not trying to plot something here. I am a victim here of cyberbullying. Someone just posted my embarrassing video on the internet! Why is it not the main concern here?" Tristan defended himself and at the same time seeking justice for himself.

Mr. Miller let out a sarcastic laugh after hearing that. "You are the victim? I just heard the most ridiculous joke today. I'm disappointed with you, Tristan."

Mrs. Miller also butted in to support his husband. "Dear, you are lying here. Those were not only empty words. In fact, you already made a move."

​ Tristan looked at Mr. and Mrs. Miller with disbelief and confusion. "What do you mean, Auntie?"

"Did you forget it already? The incident in Oceana Safe Haven Resort? Your woman snuck in Andrew's suite and tried to seduce him!" Mrs. Miller spat back at him.

"Everyone, let's calm down. Let Tristan explain first." Lucas-Tristan and Andrew's father, said in a calm manner.

Meanwhile, Tristan shot Andrew a sharp glare. He didn't expect that Andrew would tell them about that. He told him that it was all misunderstanding.

"Bring that woman here! Don't try to cover up your wrongdoings. She already confessed with Andrew that it was you who requested her to seduce him." Mrs. Miller attacked Tristan once again. She even involved Zhen-Zhen now.

"That was just a big misunderstanding. I don't need to involve her in this family drama. She had nothing to do with this." Tristan said firmly, trying to protect Zhen-Zhen.

Grandpa Lu was just observing Tristan and Mrs. Miller. He was assessing Tristan's reaction. Grandpa Lu was trying to see how Tristan would defend himself and resolve this issue by himself.

Because of his remarks, Mrs. Miller became more enraged.

"Now, you are afraid to show that woman to us. Hahaha protecting her because she obeyed your order? Dear, I think you are underestimating Andrew's love for Hannah. Do you think any woman could replace my precious daughter in Andrew's heart? That woman couldn't even help you move on. You are still madly in love with our Hannah!" Mrs. Miller continued ranting at Tristan, forgetting the presence of other people inside.

"That Cheap Slut Woman of yours will never ever reach Hannah's level. So continue dreaming, Andrew will never fall with someone like her. You can't even fall with her. Hannah is above her. Admit it, my precious daughter is the big deal here compared to that woman, who was just nothing. Even if I am Andrew, I would not think twice and throw her out immediately."

*Thud!*

That loud thud stopped Mrs. Miller from further talking. Everyone was now looking in Tristan's direction, having different expressions. Tristan's parents, Hannah's parents, and Andrew were shocked while Hannah looked frightened and worried.

On the other hand, Grandpa Lu was just raising his brows, staring intently at Tristan. Assistant Twig wiped the sweats on his forehead, feeling anxious.

Tristan had just punched the glass table in front of him. His both hands were balled into fists. His eyes were bloodshot. A cold and frightening aura was emanating from him. He was clenching his jaw.

There was a moment of silence.

After a few seconds, Tristan finally uttered some words, breaking the deafening silence inside that room.

"Everyone here can throw me all the insults. I can accept that. But don't you ever say a single bad word about that woman. You don't have the right to judge her. You don't even know her. Just wanna clear this to all of you here… including you, Andrew! SHE IS NOT A SLUT. SHE IS NOT A CHEAP WOMAN!"
