"W-What? What did you say?" Mr. Miller asked again. He couldn't believe it.
Mrs. Miller also fell from the shock. Among the investors of their company, the Davis Family had the largest investment.
It would be a great loss for them once they pulled out.
"Why are you doing this to us? Was breaking our daughter's heart not enough? You are so cruel!"
Mr. Miller didn't know how to control his emotions anymore. He felt like punching Lucas in the face.
"Why don't you ask your daughter about this? She is the cruel one!" Lucas spat back at him. He was still afraid thinking about losing his grandchild.
"Both of you heard my husband. Your daughter committed a grave sin to us. So bear the consequence of her actions. Though we are not filing a complaint, the Davis Family will not let this slide," Isabelle said to them meaningfully.
They knew that Grandpa Lu would take serious action concerning this. His favorite granddaughter-in-law and his great-grandchild were involved so he would not be forgiving this time.
It was a great mistake for Hannah to do that. If she just accepted how things ended up between Andrew and her, then her family would not face this consequence.
Grandpa Lu was holding himself from attacking the Millers because of Hannah's and Andrew's relationship.
Lucas and Isabelle were both aware of what Mr. Miller was trying to do. Grandpa Lu told them that Mr. Miller was trying to remove Tristan from his CEO position and be replaced by Andrew.
They ignored it and turned a blind eye. But this time, it was a different case. Grandpa Lu had been triggered because of Hannah's action.
Grandpa could be harsh to someone or people who didn't deserve his respect. Now, he would start targeting the Miller, punishing them. The Millers showed their true colors.
"You can't do this to us! You can't!" Mr. Miller charged in Lucas's direction, grabbing his collar.
Isabelle and Mrs. Miller were caught off guard. They didn't want their husband to start fighting, throwing punches at each other. So the two women tried to pull their husbands, separating them from each other.

They turned around and left Mr. Miller's office.
Hannah's parents just watched them leave. They didn't expect that Davis would do this to them. Going against the Davis Family would be the end of them.
"Call Hannah! I want to talk to her, now!' Mr. Miller commanded his wife. He took his anger out on her.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Star Enterprise, everything was already set and the press conference would start at any minute.
They were just waiting for Grandpa Lu to come to the front. The reporters already set up their cameras. The microphones were on the table where Grandpa Lu would be sitting.
After waiting for several minutes, Grandpa Lu entered the hall. He was being escorted by his two grandsons, Tristan and Andrew.
"Mic test." Tristan tried the microphone.
Everyone fell silent when the three men settled down on the front stage. They were dying to know what this press con was all about.
Some speculated that Davis would finally talk about the issue with the Sy Corp. But Clifford Sy already chose to stay silent after the dispute with Tristan.
They were anticipating whether the Heavenly Star Enterprise would declare war against the Sy Corp. Everyone was already aware that the two big companies were competing against each other.
"Everyone, thank you for accepting our invitation. We have three announcements to make. We don't want to waste time so we will do the first announcement now," Grandpa Lu said before turning to Andrew.
He gave Andrew his go signal. Andrew would be the one who would give the first announcement.
Andrew grabbed the microphone and glanced at the reporters present in the hall.
"A few months ago, My family and I celebrated my engagement party with my fiancee and the Miller. Some of you even covered our engagement party and wrote articles about Hannah and me."
"Now, I would like to inform everyone that Hannah and I already broke off the engagement. No wedding will happen."
Everyone gasped in surprise hearing Andrew's announcement. Just a few months ago, Hannah and Andrew were marked as a perfect couple in the eyes of the public. They were so happy and in love with each other.
"As for the reason why, it is best
not to tell the public. This will be kept between Hannah and me. I hope no one will ask further. Respect our privacy. Thank you."
Andrew finally came clean. With this, he could meet Alveena's parents. This press con was so important to Andrew.
Although he couldn't stop people from speculating that a third party was involved in this breakup, he would make sure to protect Alveena.
Currently, the Sy family was watching this press con. Alveena felt touched by Andrew's action. She knew that he was doing this for her. But of course, she felt bad for Hannah.
As for the second announcement, Tristan was the one who would do the announcement.
"Now, it's my turn." Tristan smiled brightly. His face was glowing with happiness.
"Listen everyone. I wanna share this good news with everyone. I, Tristan Davis, is going to be a father now! My beautiful wife is pregnant!"
"So… I am warning everyone. Whoever who will try to hurt my wife, I will not spare them. I will protect my wife and my child at all costs and will never forgive anyone."
This was another shocking news for everyone. They got excited hearing about it. Another Little Davis was coming. They wondered if it was a boy or a girl.
But they were puzzled why Tristan made that warning. Was someone trying to hurt his wife and baby?
When the crowd settled down, Grandpa Lu shared the third announcement.
"As for the third announcement, I would like you to know that starting today we are no longer associated with the Miller Family. Heavenly Star Enterprise put their company on the blacklist. We also pulled out our investments from their company and other businesses."
Grandpa Lu looked mad as he said those words.
Everyone didn't expect this. What was happening between the Davis Family and the Miller Family. After breaking off the engagement, the Davis Family announced that they were blacklisting the Miller's company and other businesses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas this because of Andrew and Hannah? The reporters were dying to ask Grandpa Lu the reason for doing this.
But they were instructed that they were not allowed to ask questions unless Grandpa Lu would allow them after making the three announcements.
They could hear distant chattering and murmuring as the reporters started asking each other. They wanted to know the reason.
Did the Miller Family offend the Davis Family? Was it the reason why Andrew broke up with Hannah, or the other way around?
They thought Grandpa Lu's announcement was done. But he had spoken once again.
"Oh, one more thing, the Davis Family is so open to work and do partnership with the Sy Family. I hope our families will get along really well," Grandpa Lu's mood changed after saying this. He was now smiling at the camera.
Andrew: "..."
Tristan: "..."
Reporters: "..."
No one expected that Grandpa Lu would mention the Sy Family. The reporters didn't know if this was another way of declaring a war with the Sy Family.
But Grandpa Lu looked friendly and he was genuinely smiling at the mention of the Sy family. There was no way he was provoking them.
Aside from the reporters, the members of the Sy Family who were watching the live press con were puzzled and shocked when the mighty Chairman of Heavenly Star Enterprise and the Head of the Davis Family mentioned them.
"Eh, is Chairman Lu referring to us? Our Sy Family?" Alveena's father asked his assistant.
His assistant smiled at him sheepishly.
"Maybe sir. Should I make a call and confirm it from the Heavenly Star?" The assistant said jokingly.
Alveena's father just glared at his assistant, still puzzled about Grandpa Lu's statement.
Meanwhile, Alveena who was in her office was also shocked.
'Did Andrew tell his family already? Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous about this. Will they like me?'
