YM778.TV Chapter 679 The Cause Of Rivalry
The Davis Family and the Sy Family discussed Alveena\'s and Andrew\'s engagement party first. Their wedding ceremony should be held next year because Grandpa Lu was thinking of prioritizing Zhen-Zhen\'s and Tristan\'s wedding this year.
Fortunately, the Sy Family had no objection to this. If Andrew and Alveena wanted, they could register their marriage any time.
Andrew\'s parents and Alveena\'s parents were now talking in the living room. Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Jerome, and Grandma Cynthia were having a separate discussion on the balcony.
Clifford already went upstairs while Alveena toured Andrew around the house.
"I believe everyone will be shocked once they hear the union of the two powerful families in the City of Empire," Kian Sy said, expressing his thoughts about this marriage.
Lucas agreed. "No one would think that the rivalry between our families would just end because of this marriage. I can\'t wait to see the reactions of the other families in the City of Empire."
Lucas let out a soft chuckle at that thought.
"We should make a grand announcement!" Ciera said enthusiastically.
A while ago, they were hesitant to accept this marriage but after talking to the Davis Family they found out that they were easy to talk to. Unlike others, they were not pretentious who would just think about gains and benefits.
The Davis Family proposed their marriage first not because of the gains they would get if the two powerful families would unite. They could see the pure intention they had towards Alveena.
Besides, The Davis Family was already powerful enough than the combined power of the Sy Family and Cullens Family.
"By the way, speaking of rivalry between our families, do you know how it started?" Isabelle asked Lucas and Kian out of the blue.
Ciera also nodded her head since she was also curious how the two families ended up competing with each other for a long time.
"I\'m also curious. All I know is that my father-in-law hates Luke Davis. But I don\'t know the reason why. To think about it, just like other families, our two families would have been friends a long time ago," Ciera said, looking at her husband.
Lucas and Kian exchanged meaningful glances with each other before bursting into laughter. They somehow knew the reason for this long-time rivalry.
It all started between Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Jerome when they were still young CEOs just like Tristan and Clifford.
"Honey, do you know something? Tell us. We want to hear it," Isabelle urged Lucas to say something.
"I just heard the story from my Dad. Luke Davis and Jerome Sy both fell in love with the same woman." Lucas informed them.
"Yes, that\'s true. My father accidentally mentioned it to me before," Kian also said, supporting Lucas\'s claim.
Isabelle and Ciera were surprised to hear that. So it was a love competition right from the start.
"Eh, who was the woman involved?" Ciera asked them curiously.
"Who won the heart of the woman?" Isabelle asked another question.
"It was mom… Cassandra Davis," Lucas said with a smile.
"Oh no, does it mean history repeated itself when our sons, Clifford and Tristan got entangled with one woman?" Isabelle blurted out.
Kian nodded his head. "But don\'t worry. My father already loved my mother so much. He already moved on. But he couldn\'t forget the humiliation he got from Luke Davis before."
"You know… a member of the Sy Family holds grudges for a long time," Kian said proudly.
Ciara shook her head helplessly, " Honey, that is not something to be proud of!"
Kian just smiled sheepishly at her. "I mean it\'s in our nature as Sy."
"Fortunately, Alveena and Andrew unite our families. I hope Clifford and Tristan will become friends as well." Lucas expressed his wishful thinking.
"I think it\'s just a matter of time and our sons will get along well in the future," Isabelle said, feeling positive about it.
"True, I can\'t agree more. I think our two families should bond together more often," Ciera suggested. She became closer to Isabelle after talking to her tonight.
"Of course, we can do that! Everyone should get along well and stop fighting," Lucas seconded.
"But how about our elders? Will they be fine about this?" Kian asked them worriedly.
He noticed that his father was unhappy to meet Luke Davis. Fortunately, Grandma Cynthia was there to be a mediator between Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Jerome. Now the two were talking on the balcony.
"Hehe, don\'t worry, they will be fine. Let\'s leave this to Alveena and Andrew. If the couple can give great-grandchildren to those two, I think their relationship will improve more." Lucas was smiling mischievously.
"Do you agree with me?" he added.
"Oh, I am also excited to have grandchildren. But I have no hope for my elder son right now since he is not involved with a woman. I should put my hope in my youngest daughter, Alveena!" Ciera shared her sentiments with them.
"Oh, then why don\'t we allow Andrew to stay over here tonight and be with Alveena?!" Isabelle suggested.
Ciera and Kian met each other\'s gaze before nodding their heads.
"Alright! We will allow Andrew to sleep over tonight!" The husband and wife said in unison.

Meanwhile, Alveena just finished showing Andrew around. Their last stop was her room. Her room was spacious as well but a little bit smaller compared to Andrew\'s room in the Davis Family Mansion.
"Welcome, Drew! This is my room here! I made sure to clean it today. I mean… our housekeepers cleaned my room for me!"
Andrew chuckled seeing the embarrassed look on Alveena\'s face. He pulled her into a hug.
"Don\'t worry, I don\'t mind who cleaned your room, or whether you didn\'t clean it at all. Starting tomorrow, I will be your assistant. I can clean your room and your office for you."
Alveena\'s eyes sparkled with delight upon hearing that. "Are you sure? Will you start reporting to our company tomorrow as my personal assistant?"
Andrew nodded his head. "Yes, I will start tomorrow. Are you okay with that!"
"Of course, yes! I will be with you every day!" Alveena promptly responded.
