That man was a devil. How could he treat his own son so coldly and heartlessly? He was really inhumane!
Yesseca caressed Montez's head, "You don't have to look out for me by fighting with your dad. There's really no need."
Montez looked aggrieved, "Yesseca, did my dad hit you in the kitchen just now? He's not a man at all. It's ridiculous for a man to hit a woman!"
Yesseca didn't know what to say.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Don't think too much about it. He didn't hit me."
Montez's eyes widened, "If he didn't, then why are your cheeks so red, Yesseca? Did he slapped you?"
Yesseca was embarrassed and awkward.
She didn't know how to explain to Montez and could only say, "Nothing happened, Montez. I'm going to head back home now. If you miss me, come look for me. I won't come here anymore. Goodbye."
Montez begged Yesseca not to go but Yesseca stood by her decision.
Finally, Montez said anxiously, "Wait a minute, then. I'll let the butler know."
Montez hoped that the butler could persuade Yesseca to stay.
Yesseca didn't know about Montez's intentions. She only figured that it made sense to bid the butler goodbye before she left. She had to be polite and say some parting words to him.
Moments later, the butler found Yesseca.
His face was one full of questions. "Miss Cowell, why are you leaving? Is it because of Madam Yuliana? Montez has spoken on your behalf so you don't have to worry that she'll do anything out of line with you in the future."
Yesseca shook her head, "It's not because of that matter."
"Is it something else?" the butler was getting a little agitated.
Yesseca swallowed.
Montez was not around but he stood and hid at one corner, eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Mr. Butler, I'll be frank with you. I like Montez very much, but his father is really detestable. He's arrogant and a pervert. He had no respect for women at all. I can't stay in a villa with such a man. I have to leave," Yesseca said in one breath.
The butler was shocked into silence.
The news was too shocking.
He had heard several comments about Tremaine in the past.
Most people said that he was rational and calm or cold-blooded but this was the first time someone said that he was arrogant and pervertic.
The butler knew that Mr. Tremaine was goodlooking but he had never thought that it would make him a pervert.
He said helplessly, "Miss Cowell, is there a misunderstanding? Mr.Tremaine is definitely not the man you said to be. I have been with him for so many years. I understood his character."
"Mr. Butler, I can assure you that you haven't seen his true colors yet!" Yesseca said indignantly.
The Butler was speechless. He cried, "Miss Cowell, how would I not know the real Mr. Tremaine when I've been in this house with him day and night? I can assure you that Mr. Tremaine is not the person you said to be. He may be cold but he's still a good man."
Hearing that Tremaine was being described as "good" made Yesseca's stomach heaved, "Mr. Butler, he treats his son so coldly and heartlessly. How is he even a good man?"
To be frank, Yesseca had never seen Tremaine or Montez being affectionate or close with one another throughout the time she was there. How was Tremaine a good father then?
The butler sighed in his heart.
Yesseca must have been mistaken.
As a butler, how would he not know about Mr. Tremaine's affections towards Mr. Montez?
Mr. Tremaine saw his son's life more important than his own.
