Chapter 119 - TIME TO COME CLEAN II

When their food arrived, they started eating and do the the live stream video, answering the questions that many people wanted to ask.

"Hey Dee, people are making issues of me and Travis. I felt ridiculous and ashamed." Cheska made the intro and eat her food.

The ordered several meat dishes and vegetables for lunch. It was also to help them take their time while live streaming.

"I did see that. I called Travis multiple times but he didn't answered. I guess his wife was punishing him at home." Diego responded with a faint smile.

"Hey! To the viewers, I am not Mr. Madrigal's fiance. Don't match me up with someone just because I didn't show you my real fiance." Cheska expressed her opinion to the increasing viewers. Many comments were flooding the screen. Shock, surprise, excitement and apologies were expressed through the virtual room.

Cheska saw a question on her phone when she checked it. "How many years have we been together?" she raised her brow as she read the question.

Diego fed her with a sweet and sour fish fillet before answering the question. "We've known each other since we were kids. We were classmates from primary to high school. We started dating during summer before we became freshmen university students. She officially became my girlfriend when we were in our second year as university students. We graduated 5 years ago. You can do the calculation."

This statement made the young viewers screamed in happiness and some were awed for such a long lasting relationship. Cheska just kept on eating to hide her blush from the camera.

"Why did you wait for the issue to come before making your relationship known to everyone?"

Another question popped up. This time, it was Cheska who answered.

"Due to personal issues, we couldn't make our relationship public. Travis, is a dear friend to us. He's helped us many times and we didn't expect that his kindness will be used by some evil people against him. He has a woman who's very special to him and she's also important to us. She's known as goddess YNA in the online world, the great singer and a beautiful woman. To us, she's just a normal woman who wanted to live her life. So, please stop spreading rumors about her. She didn't ruin anyone's relationship. In fact, she's helping us solidify our relationship."

"Why isn't Mr. Madrigal giving his statement?"

Diego picked up a spicy chicken wings and gave it to Cheska. He drank his juice and turned to the camera. "Travis didn't like making public statements. As of now, I am pretty sure he's still coaxing his wife."

Different opinions surfaced on the Internet world. Many people cheered for them and many people apologized to Jillyanna.

"I am glad that they're finally free. I've been supporting them since university years and their sweetness never ceased." This was a post from one of Cheska's classmates.

"I still have pictures of them when they were young until they grew up." Attached to this post were pictures of different timelines. It was actually Diego's younger cousin-sister who uploaded the pictures but, the pictures were from his father who kept it in an album.

This confession made people happy aside from a certain someone. He threw all the documents on his study table from so much anger. He wanted to tear down Travis and his family. He wanted him to suffer just like how much he suffered from the hands of his father - Thomas Madrigal.

He clenched his face from so much anger but soon calmed down and fixed his clothes. He came out of his room and visited his mother's room.

"Mom?" he called but no one answered him. He opened the door slowly and as usual, his mother was still lying on the bed.

Apparatus were attached to the body, pale and thin, almost a skeleton. The heart was beating steady but there was still no sign of awakening.

"I promised to avenge you and dad. I promise mom." he kissed her hand and left the room. The coldness from his eyes dissipated and a warm smile formed on his lips.

Driving his sports car, he drove back to Venus Plaza to attend a meeting.

Jillyanna and Travis was watching the live stream that Cheska and Diego held. He was thankful that they clarified this matter but the root of this wasn't cleaned up yet. He needed to know who the person that's adding gas to this fire.

"Cheska is really nice." Jillyanna commented while eating some fruits that Sky prepared for her.

"Didn't you hate her?"

"Nope. I didn't hate her. I just felt irritated when she was so close to you." she admitted nonchalantly to him.

"So you were jealous of her?" Travis teased her again.

Jillyanna threw a light punch on his arms and stood up. "I'm not jealous, you idiot." she picked up her phone and dialed Jenny's number. "Just stay there. I'm calling Jenny." she reminded Travis while waiting for the girl to pick up her phone.

After few rings, Jenny's lively voice rang out. "Sis Yanna, how are you?"

"I'm fine. How about you? Are you still in the university or are you home?" she asked her. Ever since they met, she had treated Jenny as her little sister because she saw herself in her.

"I'm home right now. Why?" Jenny asked.

"Go to my house and asked them for groceries that can last a day. Give them to Mr. Shan. After that, come and find me in the main house. Let's have lunch together."

"Okay. I'll see you later. Mwaaah!" Jenny ended the call with so much happiness and started changing her clothes.

She went to her house and found Auntie Fei and Auntie Sisi cleaning the living room. "You must be Jenny?"

"Yes, I am."

"Come in. We prepared the groceries for you. You can check if it lacks anything." The short-haired woman said. "You can call me Auntie Fei."

"Just call me Auntie Sisi." The woman with a tidy bun introduced.

"Nice to meet you." Jenny smiled and picked up the groceries for the grandpa Shan and grandma Shan. "I'll see you next time." she waved her hand at them.
