Chapter 1786
Sheldon was a bundle of jangled nerves.
Because Tremaine had not been found yet.
That day, Tremaine had decided to leave without an escort. Sheldon had felt that there was something wrong with this, and he'd tried to dissuade Tremaine, who, of course, had not obliged.
It was his duty to obey Tremaine's orders.
Sheldon had known that it was dangerous, but Tremaine had been adamant, so Sheldon had no choice but to agree.
Originally, Sheldon had wanted to go back with Tremaine, but Tremaine had insisted that Sheldon get off the plane.
He'd asked Sheldon to wait for the army.
The next day, he'd heard about Tremaine's accident.
Sheldon had already hazarded who the perpetrator was.
But now there was no concrete evidence and Tremaine had not been found, so this matter could only be put aside. Now finding Tremaine's whereabouts was the most important thing.
Their people had found out that Tremaine had plunged into the sea.
Everyone unanimously assumed that Tremaine was dead.
There was also the talk of arrangement for the election of a new president.
However, Sheldon felt that Tremaine was not dead.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Although it was impossible for him to survive after being shot from such a high altitude, Sheldon didn't know why, but his instinct told him that Tremaine was still alive.
Besides, it wasn't as if some random character could just take over Tremaine's position.
Back then, he and Tremaine had experienced a rain of bullets, all kinds of hardships, and had been in countless dangers, but he had survived. The remarkable resiliency of Tremaine's will to live was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, Sheldon ordered them to continue searching for him.
Unless he found Tremaine's body, he would never believe that he was dead!
At this time, Madam Quartley called again.
Ever since the accident happened, Madam Quartley had called him every day.
Sheldon took the call.
She still asked the same questions. These days, she would always repeat the question, asking whether Tremaine had been found yet. "Madam, we haven't found him yet," explained Sheldon sadly.
On the other end of the phone, Madam Quartley's mouth trembled. "You haven't found him..." she mumbled. "Then continue looking."
After hanging up the phone, Madam Quartley slumped on the chair.
It had been so many days, but Tremaine had not been found. He was most likely dead.
She did not want to think about it any further.
She was afraid that she would not be able to take it.
Later, Yuliana arrived.
Yuliana also asked about Tremaine's whereabouts.
After knowing what had happened to Tremaine, she was constantly anxious.
"They haven't found him yet," explained Madam Quartley, unmoored.
Yuliana raised her voice. "Why haven't they found him? Those who work for Tremaine — are they useless? It's been so long!"
"Shut up, will you!" shouted Madam Quartley.
Yuliana was so frightened that she clamped her lips.
Madam Quartley was silent for a moment and said again, "Yuliana, I'm afraid the worst has happened. If something really happens to Tremaine, I might not be able to take it. You will have to take care of this household. You will be the matriarch of the family. Please look after Zorion, he is your husband. I want the both of you to be happy."
Upon hearing her words, Yuliana could sense a red flag.
In the beginning, she did not think that it would be a big deal because of Tremaine's accident. But now after a few days and he could still not be found, the gravity of the situation had finally hit Yuliana.
But she thought at most that Tremaine would only have been slightly injured.
But when she heard what was being said...
Yuliana understood.
It was not just an injury. He might be dead.
Yuliana felt like the ground was collapsing
beneath her feet.
How could this be?
How could this happen?
She was still waiting to marry Tremaine. How could he die?

Yuliana did not know how she left Madam Quartley's room. She staggered along the way, and servants quickly helped to send her back.
The two servants only had a shallow understanding of her personality. When they saw Yuliana like this, their hearts went out for her. "She really cares about her family. She's so upset because of this!"
"That's right. The elder Mr. Quartley was about to die, yet she called him back. She really cares for him, she's such a good woman." "It's such a blessing for him to marry her."
Yuliana plonked down on the sofa. She looked blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.
Tremaine's accident made her feel that it was over.
Her dream was about to fall apart.
If Tremaine died, her dream would be completely
shattered!
She still had to live with Zorion, that fool, forever, and would never marry such an excellent man as Tremaine.
Thinking of this, Yuliana felt as though her heart was being slashed.
Her eyes were red and she wanted to cry.
Zorion and Ruth entered the living room.
Zorion had folded a paper plane and asked Ruth to accompany him to play in the living room. When Zorion entered the living room, his eyes fit up when he saw Yuliana. Leaving Ruth aside, he went to Yuliama.
He came to her like a child holding a paper plane and said to Yuliana, "Dear, look, I folded a paper plane, isn't it beautiful?"
Yuliana was already upset to begin with.
When she saw that Zorion was foolishly holding a paper plane, the rage got the better of her.
She grabbed Zorion's paper plane and threw it out of the window.
Zorion tried to stop her, but failed.
The paper plane zoomed out of the window and disappeared.
Yuliana had discarded Zorion's paper plane, but it was not enough. She also pointed to Zorion and scolded, You moron. You don't even know that your brother is going to die. How are you still in the mood to play with planes? You bloody schmuck!"
Zorion was dumbfounded.
He was the only one in the Quartley family who had been kept in the dark.
He said in horror, "My brother is in trouble. My brother is in trouble."
Ruth was afraid that Zorion would be too agitated.
She hurried over to support Zorion and soothed, "Hey, hey, she's only joking."
After that, she whispered to Yuliana, "Ma'am, you know that Madam Quartley has already given her instructions."
Madam Quartley had specially ordered that they were not to tell Zorion about Tremaine.
Although Zorion was cognitively impaired, he still bore a deep kinship for Tremaine.
Yuliana did not speak.
Ruth said to Zorion in a coaxing tone, "Mr. Quartley, Madam Quartley is only joking. Your brother is well, he's just busy."
Zorion widened his eyes. "Ruth, don't lie to me."
Ruth nodded with a guilty look in her eyes. "Yes, I
won't lie to you."
