He had already spent so much money on Qiana, so he didn't mind giving her a little extra.
Wesley agreed to her request.
He didn't forget to remind Qiana once again, "Remember, once you've gotten close to Tremaine, get him to give me Nashaland,"
Qiana calmly agreed to his request, but deep in her heart she criticized him for his greed.
He wanted Tremaine to give him control over Nashaland.
It seems he wasn't satisfied with just being mayor.
There was an incident at Agaphen City today.
A cargo ship sank.
There were countless casualties.
It just so happened that the father of one of her colleagues worked on that cargo ship and died during the incident.
That afternoon, Cassie walked over to Yesseca's counter to talk about it.
She said sadly, "It's not easy for someone poor to get married nowadays. That poor guy doesn't have any money. His girlfriend needs 300,000 dollars for them to get married. They say he only makes a few thousand dollars a month working as a security guard in our mall. His father went to work on that cargo ship to help him earn the money, but then this happened. Such a tragedy!"
Yesseca was sad as well.
She was sad because of what happened to her colleague's father and also because her own brother had died on a ship at sea.
"Why don't we help raise some money for him?" Yesseca suggested.
The dead couldn't come back to life, so the least they could do was pool their money together to help their colleague. This would at least give his deceased father some solace up in heaven.
After all, his father died working on that cargo ship to make some money for his son.
"Yesseca, you're such a kind girl," Cassie continued, "I'll speak to our supervisor later and get her to inform everyone. You have no idea how depressed that man must have been when he heard about his father. A six-foot-tall man was crying his heart out,"
Yesseca sighed. "When did he find out about it?"
"While he was at work, someone called him and asked him to collect his father's body. He fell onto the ground and cried," said Cassie.
Yesseca was stunned. "Who called him?" "The government," Cassie replied. "For a cargo ship to sink to the bottom of the sea, that's no small matter. The government will definitely recover the bodies and inform their families about it."
Yesseca felt short of breath. She felt like several threads were intertwined in her head.
"Cassie, is it possible that some of those bodies might not get found and end up lost?" Yesseca's eyelashes began to tremble.
"That is possible."
"Will the government still inform their families about it?"
"Of course they would," Cassie said firmly.
"Cassie, are you sure? You're sure that the government will notify the families?! They won't miss out on any of them will they?!" Yesseca suddenly became very aggravated.
Cassie was shocked.
She asked, "What's the matter with you, Yesseca?"
"Don't worry about me. Cassie, just answer my question," Yesseca looked like she was about to cry.
Cassie answered, "No matter what, the government has to inform that person's family. Even if the body couldn't be recovered, it still has to be made public. That is the government's responsibility. Why do you think they tax us so much?"
Yesseca's head was buzzing.
When Lothar died, no one called to inform her about it.
Selina was the one who told Matthew that her brother's ship had sunk and that her brother was dead.
It wasn't as Cassie said, the government didn't call her at all.
If she hadn't encountered that strange woman from last night, Yesseca might have found this suspicious, but she wouldn't have given it much thought.
