Zacharyâs face darkened. How had Tristan gotten the invitation meant for the male escort heâd hired? It seemed like Tristan had taken advantage of the
situation.
Zachary had no choice but to play along. âYouâre right, Dadâ he echoed.
At that moment, the three of them looked every bit like family as they stood together.
Leonard watched the beautiful scene in front of him, feeling a sting in his eyes. He maintained a calm facade as he greeted Tristan. âMr. Shaw, I apologize for the poor hospitality.â
Tristanâs narrowed eyes glanced at Leonard, his gaze icy. He said slowly, âItâs not just poor hospitality. Youâve insulted my woman and son. How do you plan to settle this? Youâre a lawyer, right? Are you confident you can win your case?â
For the Shaws, crushing Leonard would be like squashing an insignificant ant. Leonard understood this well too. âIâm sorry. Please allow me to apologize to you.â
However, Tristan had no intention of accepting his apology. He turned to Kiki, Zachary, and Yvette. âLetâs go. Thereâs no need to attend this kind of wedding banquet.â
Leonardâs handsome brows furrowed tightly. The rest of the guests watched them leave.
The wealthier relatives on both the brideâs and groomâs sides who knew Tristan became hesitant to stay there any longer when they saw his reaction. Hence, all of them came up with excuses to leave.
Olivia tried to stop them. âWhy are you leaving? You havenât even eaten.â
One of them retorted, âYouâve offended the Shaw family. Who would dare to eat at your sonâs wedding now?â
Only then did Olivia realize that sheâd offended someone formidable.

On the way out of the hotel, Tristan walked alongside Kiki. In a lowered voice, he said, âAnd you said Zac isnât my son. Tell me, did you tamper with the paternity test?â
Tristan remembered that Kiki had visited Zachary when heâd done the paternity test. He couldnât guarantee that everything had gone smoothly. After all, Zachary was smart; what if heâd switched the hair samples?
Just a moment ago, Kiki had been feeling incredibly grateful to Tristan for rescuing her. But now, she had a strong urge to knock some sense into him. âI told youâheâs not your son.â
âIs he really Leonardâs son, then?â Tristan found that hard to believè, Leonard was more like pretty boy, whereas Zachary had sharp features. When the latter grew up, he would look nothing like Leonardâs delicate beauty.
After what happened at the wedding, Kiki didnât want to continue deluding herself or deceiving others. âOf course not.â
âThen why are you still being stubborn?â Tristanâs lips curled into a smile.
Kiki couldnât answer him.
Yvette, who was following behind the two, was utterly bewildered. She still hadnât processed what was happening. Since when had Tristan become a good guyâthe type to help Kiki out of a bind?
She didnât notice the resentful look Zachary gave Tristan. He was still trying to understand why Tristan had shown up instead of the male escort.
They eventually reached the outside, where an extremely long Lincoln limousine was parked, flanked by security cars at the front and back.
Tristan had seen the note Zachary had written and had immediately understood that he was supposed to make a strong statement with his appearance here.
While he liked showing off, he rarely went all out like today. Right now, everything about him screamed, âI am powerful and wealthy. Donât even think about touching whatâs mine!â
Tristan said to Kiki, âLetâs get in the car.â

Then, he turned to Yvette awkwardly. âWhere are you headed? Iâll give you a ride.â His gaze shifted uneasily as he spoke. He felt too guilty to face her.
When Yvette noticed him address her, she coldly refused his offer. âThereâs no need. We drove ourselves.â
Tristan was momentarily at a loss for words. Before he could say more, Kiki took Zacharyâs hand and said, âWeâre going with Yvette. We wouldnât want to trouble you. Goodbye.â
