He didn't expect Madam Quartley to have such a rich imagination.
Tremaine said, "Grandma, it's only natural that Montez likes her. She's kind and lovely and that's how she attracts children like that. It's reasonable for any child to like her. What's more, Montez liking her is a good thing, as it'll be easier for him build a good relationship with someone who's going to be his future mother."
Madam Quartley did not see that coming.
She didn't expect that Tremaine would be so nonchalant about the issue after she'd exposed Yesseca's shameless acts.
Madam Quartley wanted to say more, but Tremaine cut her off. "Grandma, since you're from the older generation, I thought that you would be more conservative and closeminded. I didn't expect you to have such a rich imagination on such things."
Madam Quartley was speechless.
She almost vomited blood.
Madam Quartley was furious at Tremaine.
For the first time in her life, she had been told she was close minded.
Madam Quartley felt like her life wasn't worth living anymore.
She found Yuliana and said, "Yuliana, did you hear what Tremaine said? He said that I was close minded, how can that be? I am his grandmother, how can he speak of me in that way for the sake of a woman...."
Normally, Yuliana would comfort Madam Quartley with a few words.
Now, however, she was not in the mood.
Since Tremaine summoned everyone to announce that Yesseca was going to be his wife, Yuliana had been in a daze.
Not long ago, she had thought that Tremaine liked her, and that she'd be Tremaine's wife soon.
However...
The beautiful dream shattered as quickly as it came.
In a blink of an eye, Tremaine was going to marry another woman.
That low-class woman she looked down on.
Madam Quartley was annoyed at the lack of response from Yuliana despite venting for so long.
She stood up and waved her hand. "I'm going to take a rest. Tremaine made me so angry that now my head's dizzy. I'm going back to my bed..."
Even after Madam Quartley left, Yuliana was still in shock.
She returned to the room and laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
An hour later, Ruth came over.
Ruth brought over a tumbler of detoxing drink.
In order to maintain her beauty, Yuliana consumed detox drinks every day.
"Madam Yuliana, your drink is ready," Ruth said softly.
Yuliana did not respond.
Ruth spoke a little louder and repeated her words once again.
Yuliana's eyes turned toward her.
She looked at the tumbler in Ruth's hands.
Clang!
She made a violent gesture.
The open tumbler clattered to the floor, the drink splashing everywhere.
Fortunately, Ruth reacted quickly, or she would have been splashed with the drink.
"Madam Yuliana, what are you..." Ruth panicked.
She was going to clean up the mess on the ground, but Yuliana stopped her. "Don't move!"
Ruth had no choice but to stand still.
Yuliana sat up. "Ruth, look up at me."
Ruth did as Yuliana told her.
She noticed Yuliana's face had lost all color and turned pale.
Ruth understood the reason.
She was there when Tremaine had summoned everyone.
"Ruth, am I no longer beautiful? Am I suddenly getting old?" Yuliana asked a little anxiously.
Ruth said in a low voice, "No, you are still very beautiful."
"You're lying!" Yuliana raised her voice.
Ruth did not speak.
Yuliana's eyes turned vicious. "If I'm still beautiful as you say, why did Tremaine choose another woman?
He clearly liked me in the beginning!"

"Yes, he did like me. He expressed his feelings to me before. Why would he bring another woman home...."
Silence.
Ruth listened to Yuliana's rambling and remained quiet.
She had never once believed Tremaine ever liked Yuliana.
In her eyes, it was impossible for Tremaine to like her.
Yuliana had always been deluding herself.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Yuliana saw how silent Ruth was and rushed over to her.
She looked a little crazy, "Ruth, why aren't you saying anything? You know that Tremaine liked me, right?"
Yuliana exclaimed loudly.
Ruth was so frightened that she immediately covered Yuliana's mouth.
Ruth spoke urgently in Yuliana's ear, "Madam Yuliana, please stop rambling. It'll be troublesome if someone were to hear it." Yuliana was startled.
Although she was an emotional wreck, she had not completely lost her mind.
Her expression on her face was ferocious but she kept her voice low. "He liked me. He obviously liked me. He once liked me." Tremaine had never told Yuliana that he liked her, but Yuliana stubbornly believed that Tremaine must have liked her before. Ruth regarded everything Yuliana said as baseless logic.
She lowered her head and said nothing.
Yuliana rambled on and on about how Tremaine had liked her when suddenly she switched the topic to Yesseca.
Yuliana grifted her teeth. "It's all because of that b*tch. She must have played some trick on him. Otherwise, Tremaine would be mine! How did she ever stand a chance?"
Ruth continued keeping her mouth shut.

Yuliana went on and on for a long time before tiring out.
When Ruth saw how Yuliana had gone quiet, she gathered up her courage to speak, "Madam Yulianą if Mr. Tremaine and Miss Cowell are
seriously going to be together, then Mr. Zorion is the only one by your side."
QUMS
Yuliana had been treating Zorion terribly as of late.
Ruth wanted to give Yuliana a subtle reminder to treat Zorion better.
However, Yuliana gave Ruth a hard look. "Are you kidding me? You're asking me to rely on a fool. Do you think of me as idiot?"
Ruth didn't dare to speak with Yuliana looking so enraged.
Yuliana's face grew even more malicious. "I won't let that b*tch be with Tremaine. Absolutely not!"
The maid brought Yesseca to Tremaine's room, but she didn't sleep.
She could not fall asleep.
Although her journey had been exhausting, her mind was still racing.
All sorts of thoughts were occupying her mind.
Yesseca walked to the window.
She opened the window.
Glancing down, she saw many soldiers walking around with guns.
Yesseca didn't know what kind of place this was for it to be guarded so strictly.
Looking at the armed soldiers, she felt a sense of indescribable fear. Yesseca turned to look at the sky.
The sky was navy blue. Somehow, it was comforting to look at.
The air in Nashaland felt good. Yesseca took in deep breaths of fresh air.
The people that she had met before suddenly flashed through her mind.
