Yesseca was flustered for a moment.
She suddenly recalled what she had said to the housekeeper.
At the time, she had just said it casually. She never thought that the man would actually come.
However, the man's eyes gave off an impatient and contemptuous look, which made Yesseca feel a sense of hostility.
She knew the reason behind the impatience and contempt in the man's eyes.
That was right, this shabby building was completely not suited for someone like him.
It was just like an emperor coming to a small village.
However!
He came all the way personally!
Since he wanted to invite someone, he should show a proper attitude. Who would be pleased if he showed such an attitude to others?
Yesseca initially didn't have a good impression of Tremaine and now it was even worse.
She said stiffly, "I'm not going. My brother said that I have to stay at home during the period when he's not around. Please leave."
Tremaine's face immediately darkened.
He personally came to invite her, but this woman actually said that she didn't want to go.
Tremaine's eyes were like sharp swords as he looked at Yesseca, as if he wanted to pierce through her. "Try me one more time."
Yesseca kept silent.
What would happen if she didn't go?
Why did this man seem like he wanted to kill her?
Yesseca insisted. "I won't go."
Tremaine said coldly, "You asked me to invite you personally. I came in person, but now you said that you won't go. Do you think I'll let a woman like you bail on me just like that?"
Yesseca saw that the man in front of her was getting more and more displeasing, and she was about to shut the door.
However, the man moved faster.
He stretched his long arm and trapped Yesseca between the door and his arms.
The man was extremely tall, and Yesseca's height couldn't even reach his shoulders. At this moment, his position made Yesseca feel strongly oppressed.
"Are you going or not?" The man said in a low voice.
Every word gave off a feeling of endless chills.
"What if I say I'm not going?" Yesseca was still stubborn.
Tremaine said in a colder tone, "Then, I promise you that you will never see the sun again."
Yesseca was speechless.
She gave a sneer. "Wait for me then."
She then got out of Tremaine's long arms.
She slipped into the room.
Tremaine thought that Yesseca had gone in to get her things. Hence, he waited for her in his spare time, butthen...
The man who was always calm and collected suddenly had consternation seen in his eyes.
Yesseca rushed out while holding a kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife was so shiny that it would make anyone's eyes hurt.
Yesseca showed no signs of fear on her face. "How dare you threaten me in broad daylight? Let me tell you something. I know you are rich and powerful, but our country is a society that follows the law. No matter how rich and powerful you are, you must respect the law and be a good citizen. I warn you, if you dare to force me, I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
Tremaine kept silent.
The man's lips twitched.
He had thought that Yesseca had some ulterior motive for coming to the Quartley family to apply to be a maid after she had saved Montez. But now, seeing Yesseca like this, he suddenly felt that he had overthought it.
He had thought that this woman must be scheming something.
However, he felt that this woman was so stupid that she was unable to surpass a greater level of stupidity.
Tremaine even doubted if this woman had completed elementary school.
"Haven't you ever been to university?" Tremaine suddenly asked.
Yesseca was taken aback.
"How did you know?"
She did not go to college because of her illness, but she had finished university courses by herself.
