She saw that it was a number she didn't recognise.
Yesseca answered her phone.
A familiar voice rang out, the arrogance in his voice as apparent as ever. This time, it also sounded rather tired. "Yesseca."
Yesseca's hand trembled, almost dropping her phone.
She never expected Tremaine to call her.
"I'm busy with some things here, so wait for me to come back. Once I'm back, we'll go make everything clear with that so-called boyfriend of yours." Tremaine paused, then continued, "Your sister's the one who set you up with that man, right? She forced him on you. Yesseca, both of them have ulterior motives towards you."
Tremaine had always been like this.
He was extremely domineering and insufferably arrogant.
That was why he never tried to be tactful. He would just go straight to the point.
Hearing him say that, Yesseca's nervousness turned into anger.
Tremaine was actually accusing Selina!
He had even accused Selina and Kylin of having ulterior motives!
She couldn't stand for this.
She was so angry that she had completely forgotten that Kylin was right next to her.
She raised her voice. "You're the one who doesn't mean well, Tremaine!"
"Yes, I don't sugar coat things with you. When I get back, I'm taking you back to Nashaland with me. I won't take no for an answer, Yesseca. I'm determined to get you."
Yesseca was shocked to hear him say that.
Normally, Tremaine's threats wouldn't bother her very much, but now that she knew who Tremaine really was, she was terrified.
Suddenly, she remembered what Selina had told her.
If Tremaine were to do anything to her and they weren't able to save her in time, what would she do?
Her fear intensified.
Another unfamiliar male voice rang out and she heard Tremaine say, "That's all. I need to go."
He hung up.
Yesseca clutched her phone blankly.
"Creak!"
Suddenly, Kylin brought the car to a stop.
Yesseca then came back to her senses.
She looked at Kylin.
There was a sliver of restraint in his eyes, and his gentle voice was slightly hoarse. "Yesseca, did he call you?"
Yesseca's eyelashes trembled.
She didn't answer, which confirmed his suspicions.
"You're still keeping in touch with him." This time, Kyi in's voice sounded a little cold.
Cold and disappointed.
Yesseca opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Kylin suddenly opened the door, and strode out of the car.
Yesseca held her breath.
She could tell that Kylin was very upset.
She had been with Kylin for so long, and he had always been the perfect gentleman. This was the first time she had even seen him unhappy.
