Matthew lowered his voice and said, "Yesseca, I will come to see you tomorrow and explain the whole thing to you."
After that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Right then, Selina had come up to him and asked, "Who were you talking on the phone with?"
"It's about work." After saying that, he changed the subject. "Weren't you already asleep? Why are you awake?"
She sighed, "I was thinking about Yesseca. Matthew, why would she ask me about Lothar's death twice? Do you think that Yesseca was suspicious of something?"
"Don't think too much. Go to bed. Now is not the time to talk about this." After saying that, he directly held her in his arms.
She did not know what to say.
She hit him with her hands, saying, "Why are you holding me?"
Just then, he carried her to their bed, saying, "I'm going to hug you to sleep. Let's not think about it now and get some rest."
She was helpless.
She closed her eyes. "Okay. Let's go to sleep."
After Matthew hung up the phone, Yesseca fell to the ground.
She was motionless like a statue, and she didn't even blink her eyes.
Half an hour later, she got up from the ground.
She took out Lothar's photo.
She stared at him, who was in the photo. "Lothar, so it was Selina who killed you! It was true."
After saying that, she burst into tears.
The sadness and grief overcame her body. It was like she was going to tear into half.
She was in such pain because Lothar was truly killed by someone, and even more so by Selina, whom she'd regarded as her sister.
Yesseca could not sleep the entire night.
At six o'clock in the morning, she was ready to leave.
She was going to find someone.
Before leaving home, she left her phone at home. She knew there would be people looking for her. Kylin and Matthew were going to call her, but she didn't want to answer any of them.
Just when she put down her phone, it suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She answered the phone.
Tremaine's voice came from the other side of the phone. "Dummy."
She was calm as ever.
She used to think that Tremaine was disgusting because he did something out of line.
But suddenly, what he did seem like nothing compared with what Selina and Matthew had done.
Therefore, after receiving Tremaine's call, she was able to remain calm.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Why did you return to Agaphen City that day? Didn't I ask you to wait for me?" he questioned.
"I'm hanging up."
He was speechless when he heard that.
His voice turned cold. "Your period should be over. Why are you acting strange still?"
"Well, I was born like this." she suddenly said, "Maybe you're right, and I am strange. Not only am
I strange, but I'm also going out of my mind."
Once again, he was rendered speechless.
He snorted, "Congratulations on gaining the ability to admit it."
He wanted to tease her, but she took it to heart as she said, "I know, right? I had been stupid before."
She sounded like she was choking with sobs.
Just then, he noticed something off.
He immediately raised his voice. "Yesseca, what's wrong?"
She sniffed and replied, "Nothing much. It's just that I realized how foolish I was for thinking bad people were nice people, even treating them as my relatives."
Tremaine, who was at the other end of the phone call, frowned and said, "What do you mean? Which bad people have you mistaken as good? Did someone bully you?"
Yesseca didn't say anything.
He continued, "When I'm done with my business in Nashaland, I'll go back to Agaphen City. I'll help you get rid of those bullies."
