A man like Tremaine would never look into a mirror, let alone force a smile in front of it.
Noel felt that something was off about him.
Madam Quartley got in front of Noel. With a straight face, she said, "Are you still not going to tell me who Montez's biological mother is?"
"I..." Noel lowered his head.
She said angrily, "The election is imminent, and Tremaine doesn't have a wife by his side. He is being criticized for his sexual orientation. He must be under too much pressure that he did such a strange thing! If we can find her and reunite her with Montez and Tremaine, he wouldn't be this stressed."
Then, she raised her voice even more. "Are you still not going to speak? Are you going to watch Tremaine lose his mind from being under too much pressure? Can you bear the responsibility when something happens?"
Right then, she was shoving such a big responsibility towards him.
And his heart was trembling from her words.
He was under a lot of pressure from Madam
Quartley questioning him about Montez’ s biological mother, but he said nothing about it.
Seeing Tremaine's strange action, he felt like he was about to break down himself.
In a moment of panic, Noel blurted out, "Madam Quartley, Mr. Montez's biological mother is a woman named Qiana Lanes..."
She was shocked to hear it.
The next day soon arrived.
Madam Quartley sent Montez to the kindergarten.
However, she did not leave immediately.
She hid in a dark corner around the kindergarten to observe Qiana.
Qiana was very gentle towards the children, and she seemed very concerned for Montez.
Something flashed across Madam Quartley's eyes.
She knew that Qiana had been paying a lot of attention to Montez since long ago.
At that time, she had thought that it was because Qiana had found out that Montez was from a noble family. However, it seemed like it was just her maternal instinct for her child.
With that, she felt her heart filled with joy.
She was satisfied to know that Montez’ s biological mother was Qiana.
Because her impression of Qiana was particularly good.
Furthermore, Qiana was also a teacher at the kindergarten. It was quite a decent occupation.
The Quartley family was already wealthy. To have such a woman be married into the family would be a blessing. She could stay at home and support the family.
Suddenly, Qiana looked over in her direction.
It was too late for Madam Quartley to hide.
Qiana hurriedly over and said, "Madam Quartley, you're still here. Why didn't you tell me? You have been here for some time. Are you thirsty? I could get you a glass of water to drink."
However, Madam Quartley shook her head. "I'm not."
Qiana insisted and poured a glass of warm water for her.
Smiling at Qiana, Madam Quartley took the glass of water from her as she asked, "Miss Lanes, do you have a boyfriend?"
Qiana was stunned for a moment before letting out a laugh. "I've been so busy with the children that I don't even have the time to get a boyfriend."
After a pause, Qiana said somewhat embarrassedly, "Please don't laugh at me. I've never had a boyfriend before."
Madam Quartley was delighted.
Noel had told her why Qiana had sold her ovum. Although she was not pleased with it, she let it go since Qiana was doing it to get even with her father.
Seeing Qiana's gentle demeanor when educating the children, Madam Quartley could not help but forget her displeasure.
After all, no one was perfect and no one would not make mistakes.
Qiana's character was still good. She was willing to forgive Qiana's willful behavior since Qiana had been young and immature.
"That's great. Nothing is wrong with that," Madam Quartley said.
