Chapter 998 No Negative News Would Be Released.
Anya always called him a brute disguised in nice clothes, a man of no good. He needed to show her
how Tristin was like when he concealed his villainous nature with his gentleman-like look.
Tristin got in the car with his father. Seeing Tristin's bruise, Marcel asked the driver to go to the hospital
first.
But Tristin rejected, "No need to go to the hospital. I am not dying anyway."
Marcel pissed off. "What nonsense are you making? You think I loved to bow down to Phil? We are no
match to Phil solely judging from the difference between our company's revenue and his, not to
mention the financial group backing him.
"So you are going to watch him to torture me to death and do nothing at all?" Tristin grumbled.
Marcel took a deep breath and said after a pause. "Let's go home first. You tell me everything about
what happened between you and him."
Then he added, "If what he said was real and you actually had feelings towards his ex-wife…"
Considering that the driver was also there, Marcel didn't talk too much about it. He warned, "You'd
better give up that thought as early as possible. This was the end of discussion. No matter what did he
do to you in the past, he had no reason to pick a fight with us if we avoid making contact with him!"
Marcel was a wise man. He knew Phil's little group quite well. They didn't have the habit of bullying
others by their power and wealth and they would have never accomplished like what they have now if
not so.
Marcel's words made Tristin realized the fact that his family would never support him in retaliating Phil.
But that didn't matter. He was fine fighting alone. He wouldn't let Phil resume to his good life after all
the sufferings Phil had brought to him.
Phil stole Anya from him at first. He would have been Anya's boyfriend if it weren't for Phil. And now
Phil shamelessly accused him of having an illicit affection towards Anya.
He was the first one to meet Anya. He was the first one who fell in love with Anya!
Tristin didn't say anything after arriving home and went straight to his room. He had nothing to say to
his family the moment his father persuaded him into giving up chasing Anya.
"You should put that shit behind before you leave for Ascana, if you still care about your future!" Marcel
gave this serious warning on the other side of Tristin's door.
Tristin compressed his lips in depression and turned on the computer to write an article, in which he
made an complaint against Phil illustrated with pictures of himself getting hurt in this time and last time.
He was determined to make the man notorious!
However, no one paid attention to his elaborately constructed article as he released, even after he
shared it with many influencers.
Soon he got a call from his classmate who was an intern in an influential new media company. His
classmate suggested him gingerly, "Tristin, all the media have been warned by Phil…"
Not until this moment did Tristin begin to realize that no negative statement about Phil would be
allowed to show in the internet. Take Phil and Anya's marriage for example. Many people criticized their
marriage in the internet at the first beginning, but later those people went silent.
Nevertheless, their divorce was being discussed recently. Clearly Phil didn't prohibit the discussion
about them this time.
What a heartless man Phil was, he thought, to instantly stop protecting Anya after they got divorced.
The remarks relevant to them were mostly against Anya.
This was the love Phil claimed?
"Actually I remind you that posting an article of this kind did no good to you. You will be critically judged
if Phil said that you unjustly wooed his wife." As one of the close friends of Tristin, his classmate knew
Tristin's affection towards Anya and that Phil had someone beat him.
His classmates called him out of pure kindness.
"I work in the media industry and I am clear about the rules of this line. He can make your article
disappear if he pays enough." His classmate added.
Tristin thanked his classmate before he hung up. He deleted the article and returned to calmness.
What a despicable man Phil was, he thought, to pay to block the spreading of the negative news about
him.
As a matter of fact, Tristin knew that neither he nor his father had the capability of defeating Phil. But
he just couldn't go along with this ending.
He couldn't reconcile himself to the fact that Phil took advantage of his influence and wealth to force
Anya into loving him, to deprive her of the right to freely fall in love with others.
That was a totally barbarian behavior!
Suddenly someone knocked the door. It was his mother. She said, "Tristin, your wounds need to be
cleaned. I bring you some iodine and swabs."
Tristin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. And then he went to open the door.
He had always gotten along well with his mother and the conversations between them were pleasantly
efficient.
However, he could hear his father's roaring the second he opened his door. His father shouted, "I am NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
warning you to stay away from Phil's ex-wife! I will never accept her as your wife even though she and
Phil divorced."
"Are you insane? There are so many good girls out there and you have to chase one that married
once!"
Marcel stated his opinion towards Anya, which completely shattered Tristin's dream. His father would
strongly oppose even if he succeeded in getting Anya, not to mention the fact that Anya now shunned
him.
For a moment Tristin felt desperate. He didn't want to do anything about his wounds anymore and gave
the door a good hard slam. He snarled, "I loved her. She is the best. No one else could replace her!"
For the first time he and his father shouted at each other like this. Carrying the medicine chest outside
the door, Menna, Tristin's mom, nearly cried.
She always was proud of her son since he was a child, in having good performance in study or any
other aspects. But now his son was stupidly trapped by a woman.
As a mother, Menna inherently didn't have a good impression of a divorced woman, no matter how
outstanding she appeared to be. But she was not as unconvincing as Marcel. She would compromise if
her son insisted.
But Marcel couldn't settle for a divorced woman, not to mention that she was Phil's ex-wife. Little
knowledge might he have about the woman, most people in the upper class of Riverside City knew
about their relationship.
How could they continue to live in this city gracefully if Tristin married this woman?
