The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter
527 Grandpa Lu's Verdict
Everyone was already gathered in the dining hall when another party arrived, making a grand entrance. The Patriarch of the Wilkins Family and Matthew's parents also attended the Davis Family Gathering.
Everyone didn't expect the arrival of the Wilkins Family. He was seldom attending the Davis Family Gathering. They were puzzled why they came tonight.
"Is there an important announcement to be made tonight?" Mrs. Miller leaned over, asking her husband in a low voice.
Mr. Miller just shrugged his shoulders since he had no idea either. Daniel and Mark were also surprised to see Matthew's family.
Grandpa Lu and his siblings immediately welcomed Matthew's grandfather. Lucas talked to him a few days ago. He was the one who informed him and explained the incident that happened to Tristan and Matthew.
At first, Matthew's grandfather, Solomon was enraged when he heard about what happened to Matthew. He became more furious when he learned who the masterminds were.
Matthew had to pacify his grandfather so that he would not intervene with his personal problem. He didn't want to involve his grandfather especially if he could handle everything by himself.
Matthew had been acting independently just like Tristan. He didn't want to rely on his grandfather or even on his family's influence.
Instead of managing the company right away, Matthew chose to work with Tristan as an assistant. This was his training ground before he could take over the CEO position of the Wilkins Company.
Besides, he was not the only person who could be the CEO. His other cousins were also eyeing the position. He didn't want to compete with them. He just wanted to be low profile.
But his grandfather saw Matthew's potential. Deep inside, among his grandchildren, he wanted Matthew to take over the company. It was just Matthew who was nonchalant about this.
So the question was… why is it the Wilkins Family attended tonight's Davis Family Gathering?
Well, it's just simple. Lucas invited them to see how Grandpa Lu would punish the two people who were responsible for the assault of Tristan and Matthew.
Grandpa Solomon wanted to see it personally. Through this, he would be satisfied knowing that the people who hurt his grandson would receive the punishment that they deserved.
Matthew guided his parents to their respective seats. Grandpa Solomon sat down beside Grandpa Lu. When everyone settled down, Grandpa Lu announced the start of the dinner.
All of them quietly began eating their food. They didn't know why but they could feel the heavy tension in the air.
"Andrew, what's going on here?" Hannah tugged Andrew's sleeve, asking him.
"I'm not sure as well. All I know is that Grandpa Lu has some announcements to make."
"Why is the Wilkins Family here?" she asked again.
"Hmm, well, they are always welcome here. It's just that they were so busy in the past that they couldn't attend. Wilkins and Davis are family friends so it's not surprising if they are here," Andrew explained to Hannah.
Hannah just nodded her head.
"Are we going to bring up to the family the topic of our wedding too?" Hannah suddenly asked Andrew out of the blue.
Andrew was taken aback for a moment when he heard that. He was surprised that Hannah brought this up. In the past, she was always avoiding the topic of their marriage.
"I think we should discuss it within ourselves first before sharing it with our family. We haven't talked about it yet." Andrew said after he recovered from his stupor.
Hannah pouted her lips. She was disappointed with Andrew's answer. Her parents just urged her to bring the topic tonight.
But since Andrew told her to discuss it first within themselves so she had no choice but not to mention it during the dinner.
"Okay. I'll go home with you at your place tonight, after this gathering. Let's discuss it."
Andrew just simply nodded his head. Hannah smiled inwardly. In her mind, she would try to sleep with Andrew tonight.
She also wanted to get pregnant since Zhen-Zhen was already pregnant. Hannah was aiming to get the favor of the elders once she got pregnant. At least, they would not just focus on Zhen-Zhen's pregnancy.
When the dinner was done, the Davis Family started talking about the updates from the other members. How were they doing?
As usual, others reported how successful their careers were, presenting the achievements of everyone. The election was coming so the politician from the family asked others for their help and support.
Grandpa Lu promised to sponsor them as long as their programs and projects would be good to the public. He also warned them. He couldn't tolerate them if they would become corrupt officials.
When everyone was done sharing their updates and concerns, it was now Grandpa Lu's turn to speak for his important announcement.
"I have two announcements to make tonight, one is good news while the other one is bad news. So let me tell you the good news first."
Grandpa Lu glanced at everyone for a moment before he continued. Now, all eyes and all ears were on him.
"I'm so happy to tell everyone that my granddaughter-in-law, Lillie, is already pregnant. She is carrying my first great-grandchild! Please congratulate Tristan and Lillie."
The elders including the twins were the only ones who heard the first news about Zhen-Zhen's pregnancy so the rest of the Davis Family members were surprised by Grandpa Lu's announcement.
It was indeed good news as they could see the happiness glowing in Grandpa Lu's face as he shared the good news with them.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller met each other's eyes. The news was like a bomb to them. They felt like Zhen-Zhen got another upper hand now that she was pregnant.
They were thinking that Hannah and Andrew should also double their time in providing Grandpa another great-grandchild.
After congratulating the couples, Grandpa Lu had spoken again to make his second announcement.
"Now, let's move on to my next announcement."
Everyone became quiet the moment they noticed the changes in Grandpa Lu's expression. He looked very serious and frightening as if he was an angry lion who wanted to attack someone.
Grandpa Lu swept his gaze across the dining hall and his cold dark eyes stopped in Mark's and Daniel's direction. The two men couldn't explain but Grandpa Lu's gaze was making them uncomfortable.
They became anxious, wondering why Grandpa Lu was giving them a deathly glare. They almost forgot to breathe when Grandpa Lu suddenly called their names with his stern voice.
"This announcement is related to Mark and Daniel."
'Huh? Why me? Why us?' Daniel gulped hard.
Mark became pale in an instant. At that certain moment, he realized that both of them were in trouble.
"This is the last time you will be attending this Family gathering because starting tonight, you will no longer be part of the Davis Family!" Grandpa Lu declared to everyone, shocking Mark and Daniel to the core.
"Huh? Grandpa Lu, why? Why are you doing this to us?" Mark found his voice to question Grandpa Lu. he couldn't believe this.
Grandpa Lu shot him a cold sharp glare before responding. "You still have the guts to ask me. Heh, Do I need to refresh your minds for you to remember what grave sin the two of you have committed against our family? Against your cousin, Tristan, including Matthew?"
Mark: "..."
Daniel: "..."
