The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ University of Imperial Knights ~

John and Lester looked daggers at Matthew when they saw him walking inside the Guidance Counselor Office.

Matthew also shot them a cold sharp glare upon meeting their gaze. Everyone felt the tension inside the room when Matthew and Tristan entered the room.

The Guidance Counselor and Student Council Representatives greeted and welcomed Tristan and Matthew politely. They were successful alumni of this school. They couldn't deny that fact.

Soon, Matthew and Tristan sat down on the other vacant sofa, facing John and Lester.

The Guidance Counselor was sitting on the middle chair. Mary, the Vice President, and Ryan, the President of the Student Council were also there sitting beside John and Lester.

"Mr. Wilkins, thank you for giving us your precious time as you responded immediately after asking for your presence here today. We didn't expect that Mr. Davis would also come. Sorry for the inconvenience," The Guidance Counselor broke the silence.

Tristan gave him a friendly smile before responding to him. "Oh, don't apologize for that Mr. Guidance Counselor. I decided to tag along since I heard that there's an incident during the Acquaintance Party. I was the one who brought Matthew here to attend the party with me last Saturday."

The Guidance Counselor smiled at Tristan faintly. He understood him so it's just fine that he came today together with Matthew.

"So, I won't drag this for long. We will talk directly about the reason why everyone is here. As you heard from our request, we seek your presence here, Mr. Wilkins to hear your side of the story. These two students of ours complained to us that you beat them last Saturday. What can you say about this, Mr. Wilkins?"

"Don't you dare deny it. We remember your face clearly. You are the one who beat us for no valid reason," John blurted out suddenly.

"We have proof here. See, the wounds on our faces are still visible. We also have medical certificates and medical examination results here," Lester also said, supporting John's claim.

Matthew laughed at them mockingly after hearing their complaint. John and Lester glared at him.

'How could he laugh at a moment like this? This guy is really pissing me off.' John thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

"What's funny? Are you proud of what you did?" Lester snarled at Matthew.

"You deserved it," Tristan murmured while raising his eyebrow. Only Matthew heard him clearly.

"You are making me laugh. You came here crying and complaining just because you were beaten by me?" Matthew sneered at them.

"Are you not ashamed? You fought me two versus one. It's your fault for being weak," Matthew added, provoking John and Lester.

Guidance Counsellor: "..."

Mary:"..."

Ryan: "..."

The Guidance Counselor and the Student Council Representatives were rendered speechless after hearing Matthew's last remarks. The three of them were thinking about the same thing.

'So, he is admitting that he is the culprit responsible for beating John and Lester? He does not look apologetic at all.'

"See. It came from your mouth! We will not forgive you. You will pay for this. We will file a legal action for this and sue you!" John said, threatening Matthew.

Matthew let out another sarcastic laugh. Tristan just looked at him helplessly. He could tell that Matthew was still mad and furious, that's why he was acting like this.

'Wow. Where's the calm Matthew that I know who always maintains his cool and composure when dealing with others despite the fact he is mad? He seems a different person today. He is furious that he can't control his anger,' Tristan thought to himself, looking at Matthew amusingly.

"Excuse me? File a lawsuit against me? Well, let's do that. I won't stop you. I can also file a lawsuit against you." Matthew said to them with an intimidating look.

"You left me with no choice that night. You stopped me and blocked my way. I just wanted to save a student from getting raped and taken advantage of by your friend. You are both accomplices of that crime. For that reason alone, I can sue you." Matthew said through gritted teeth.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard that.

"Getting raped and taken advantage of? What are you talking about, Mr. Wilkins? This is a serious accusation. What happened? Who were the people involved here?" The Guidance Counselor became more serious after hearing that.

He gave John and Lester a questioning gaze. Matthew continued telling the Guidance Counselor about what happened.

"Marcus brought Sophia to the Queen's Hall. They spiked the drinks of Sophia. Fortunately, I came on time to save Sophia. John and Lester were the ones who were lurking outside the Queen's Hall, making sure that no one would come and pass by the Queen's Hall. You can go and check the CCTV Camera in the hall Queen's Hall."

John and Lester cursed inwardly. They forgot about the CCTV Camera installed in the hall of the Queen's Hall. Once they checked it, they would confirm that Matthew was telling the truth.

They would see Marcus and Sophia coming into the Queen's Hall and Matthew's arrival. They were certain that the CCTV captured when Matthew carried Sophia while she was crying in his arms.

"This is the result of the laboratory test. The champagne and Sophia's blood contained a drug's substance that has an aphrodisiac effect." Matthew gave the report to the Guidance Counselor.

The Guidance Counselor was surprised after seeing the laboratory result. He turned to Mary and Ryan.

"Mary, please call Marcus and Sophia here. We also need to hear their story. Ryan, go to the control room and ask for the copy of CCTV recordings in the Queen's Hall during the night of the party."

Mary and Ryan immediately stood up to follow the Guidance Counselor's request.

John and Lester exchanged glances with one another. They didn't expect this turn of events. They suddenly felt anxious. Who would have thought that Matthew knew about the 'drugging stuff'?

The worst-case scenario was that Matthew even had proof that Sophia was put under the influence of the drug. Furthermore, the most depressing part was that the Guidance Counselor seemed to believe Matthew's words.

He was a reliable person and he had a good record in the school. Professors also looked up to him. They knew that Matthew won't make up some story. And there's no reason for him to lie in this matter.

They regretted making this move. Their plan of getting revenge against Matthew backfired at them. Now, the drugging incident was also revealed.

John messaged Lester. They couldn't talk since the Guidance Counselor, Tristan and Matthew were with them.

[ John: "Relax, bro. Just deny everything. So what if he has proof about the drug? He has no proof that we are the ones who put the drug on the champagne. ]

[ Lester: "Yes. I hope Marcus will cooperate with us and deny the accusation. Message him. ]

[ John: "Alright. I got it. Don't worry." ]

The Guidance Counselor was not looking good. He was wearing a serious and unhappy expression.

"Sir, we have nothing to do about this. I think he is accusing us to divert the truth. It was still a fact that he beat us that night," John insisted.

"Yes, sir. Does he have proof that we are the ones who put the drug on the drinks? This is just a false accusation!" Lester also tried to defend themselves.

"We will further investigate this incident. This is a serious matter. I really hope that you are not involved in this," The Guidance Counselor said meaningfully to them.

It did not take long when Sophia arrived at the Guidance Office. She was surprised to see Matthew, Tristan, John, and Lester inside the office.

She had a confused look. She had no idea why she was summoned by the Guidance Counselor. She walked over quietly and sat down beside Matthew.

"Sophie…" he called her out. He was looking at her with a gentle look in his eyes.

Sophia glanced at Matthew with her confused look.

"Matt, what are you doing here? What's going on?" She asked him in a low voice. She was curious.

Matthew grabbed Sophia's hand. "I'm sorry, Sophia. I broke my promise. But don't worry. I swear I will protect you no matter what. So don't be afraid. I am here. Trust me. Okay?"

Sophia couldn't utter any words. She could hear the sincerity in his voice. He truly meant it. She felt secure in his presence.

However, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She had a bad feeling that this might be related to the incident that happened during the Acquaintance Party.

Matthew could feel the uneasiness of Sophia. He squeezed her hand, letting her know that he was there for her.

Sophia just looked down, staring at Matthew's hand which was gripping her hand. She didn't know why but she felt like crying again.

Soon, Marcus and Mary entered the Guidance Office. Marcus stopped on his track the moment he saw Sophia.

"Sophie…"
