207: Stirring A Conflict Between Them

Stirring A Conflict Between Them

2When Zhen-Zhen agreed to talk to them, Mark and Daniel exchanged meaningful glances with one another. Now, this was a good opportunity to ruin the good relationship between husband and wife.

They had two main reasons for doing this. First, they wanted to get revenge against Tristan. They didn't want him to be happy while the two of them suffered because of him.

Second, they wanted Lillie for themselves. She was a very beautiful woman that every guy would dream to have. Though she's already married to Tristan, they didn't care about that. They were even eager to break that marriage.

"What is it that do you want to tell me about Tristan?" Zhen-Zhen asked them both.

She was looking at Mark and Daniel expectantly, waiting for them to speak up. 

Mark cleared his throat first. He and Daniel agreed that he would be the one to do the talking. Daniel was there to support his claims.

Mark stared at Zhen-Zhen's lovely face. He couldn't help but admire her for a few seconds before telling her what he wanted to say.

"Lillie, first of all, I would like you to know that we have no ill-motives by telling you this. We are just concerned about you. We believed that, as Tristan's wife, you have the right to know about Tristan's past." Mark said, washing his hands when he told her that they had no ill-motives.

Hiding their evil intentions through their lies. Pretending to be good men but in fact, they were wolves in sheep's clothing.

Zhen-Zhen just remained quiet as she listened to Mark.

"You are a good person. We don't want you to be deceived by your husband. Tristan is our cousin so we know him very well more than you know him." Mark was now preparing to drop the bomb to Zhen-Zhen.

"What do you mean? Tristan won't deceive me." Zhen-Zhen said with certainty in her voice.

"Lillie, we believe that he is hiding something from you. If you don't believe us, then let me ask you this," Mark paused for a moment, looking straight into her eyes.

"Are you aware that he is in love with Hannah? Did he tell you that?"

Zhen-Zhen's expression changed after hearing that. Complicated emotions flashed through her eyes. This topic was taboo to her because she knew the truth but Tristan had never mentioned this to her.

Seeing her troubled expression, he could tell that Tristan didn't tell Lillie about this. Because of that, Mark gained confidence that he was succeeding to stir a conflict between the husband and wife. 

"Because if he didn't tell you that then you would know that he was not completely being honest with you. You are his wife, he should have told you this already."

"That's true," Daniel commented, supporting Mark's statement.

They needed to make Lillie believe that Tristan was not faithful to her. They wanted her to think that Tristan was just using her to hide the truth, pretending he already moved on but in fact, he was still devastated because of Hannah and Andrew.

"Lillie, I think you will understand once you see this," Mark turned to Daniel, giving him a signal.

Daniel fished out his phone in his pocket. He scanned his phone for several seconds. After he saw what he was looking for, he handed his phone over to Zhen-Zhen.

"Watch this video," Daniel said when she accepted the phone.

The video he's referring to was Tristan's video in his drunken state while confessing his feelings for Hannah. Zhen-Zhen didn't see this video yet. All she knew was that Tristan was in love with Hannah.

Zhen-Zhen started watching the video. She could see that Tristan was screaming in the video, saying how much he loved Hannah.

{ "I love Hannah! She's the only woman I love! The only woman I wanted!" }

Tristan was pouring his heart out, expressing his frustration because Andrew was the one Hannah chose, not him. He was crying and at the same time, laughing. He looked very pathetic.

By just watching it, Zhen-Zhen could feel Tristan's pain. She recalled the moment he requested her to seduce Andrew so that he could have Hannah. Tristan was very sad at that time.

Zhen-Zhen felt like her heart was being crushed right now, making it all broken and bloody. She could not deny the fact that Tristan was madly in love with Hannah.

'If Hannah is the only woman he loves… the only woman he wants… then what or who am I to him?'

It hurt so bad that she felt like her heart was torn apart. Warm liquid came out of her eyes and then fell.

The two men were taken aback when they saw her crying.

"Lillie, I'm sorry about that. We didn't mean to make you sad or cry. We just want you to know the truth. Tristan might be using you as a rebound. Or he is just using you to show the family that he's doing fine despite the fact that his beloved woman will soon marry his brother." Mark was adding fuel to the fire.

"Lillie, your marriage might be a show. Tristan can still file a divorce to break your marriage once he gets tired of it. Besides, you already heard it from his mouth. Hannah is the only woman he wants in his life." Daniel said, feeding more lies to Zhen-Zhen's mind. They were brainwashing Zhen-Zhen.

Because Tristan had never mentioned this to her, Zhen-Zhen had the tendency to believe Mark and Daniel. Her mind was also in shambles right now. She was shaken after watching the video.

Now, she didn't know her true place in Tristan's heart. Yes, he was treating her so well but she was not sure if Tristan truly loved her.

Mark was about to touch Zhen-Zhen's back to comfort her when suddenly someone came, pulling Zhen-Zhen away from Mark.

"What did you do to her?" A stern cold voice of a man was heard.

Mark and Daniel were surprised to see the newcomer.

'What is he doing here?
