My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1857

As his subordinate, Hogan didn't have the right to say anything regarding Tremaine's family affairs. However, if Hogan spoke as a senior member of society, then his opinion held weight.

Tremaine glanced at Hogan. "Mr. Welmert, what are you trying to say?"

Hogan said, "Mr. Tremaine, you are the president of Nashaland, and filial piety is a major priority in our country. That old lady is your grandmother. You've actually made that old lady apologize to a little girl who is still wet behind the ears in front of everyone. This does not show filial piety!"

The older people get, the more severe and direct their words are.

Hogan was a very intimidating man and had just put Tremaine on the spot.

Yuliana interrupted, "Yes, Mr. Welmert, it's just as you said! I don't believe that Tremaine would have done such a thing on his own. Maybe someone else is behind this!"

In the past, Yuliana wouldn't have dared to say such things in front of Tremaine, but now that Hogan was here, she had become much bolder.

Having heard Yuliana, Madam Quartley's resentment increased even more.

Tremaine ignored Yuliana.

He looked directly at Hogan. "Mr. Welmert, since you yourself have said that I am the president, then let's think of it this way. Did you know that in Nashaland, even if a member of high society commits a crime, they would be punished in the very same way as a commoner would?"

"Of course, I am aware."

"Good." Tremaine said coldly, "Although the lady in question is my grandmother, she still made a mistake and should therefore apologize for it. Don't you agree?"

Hogan's expression didn't change. "What mistake did she make?"

Before Tremaine answered, Madam Quartley spoke, "I just tossed her soup away. Is that such a crime?!"

After Madam Quartley was done talking, Yuliana chimed in. "That woman is so annoying. Madam Quartley doesn't like her, so she tossed the soup. Is that wrong? Doesn't Madam Quartley have the right to toss away the soup of this commoner woman?!"

Hogan was quiet.

He felt a dull pain in his head. These two women...

These two... Were these two women seriously throwing themselves under the bus?

Even if he wanted to help, he didn't know what to say.

Tremaine looked down at Hogan and said, "Mr. Welmert, you heard it yourself. What more do you want to say?"

A hint of emotion flashed within Hogan's eyes.

After a moment, he said, "Mr. Tremaine, even if your grandmother is in the wrong, you shouldn't have made her apologize. You are her grandson. What do you say to that?"

Tremaine heavily emphasized every word, "Since Grandmother has made a mistake, she should apologize. Similarly, I am also in the wrong, and I will apologize as well. No one in Nashaland is above this."

After that, Tremaine took a step forward and said, "Madam Quartley, I have been very rude to you. I apologize for my behavior."

Tremaine then paused for a moment. "But in the same way, you have to apologize to Yesseca as well."

He spoke firmly and with powerful intent, leaving no room for negotiation.

Madam Quartley was stunned.

She then looked at Hogan with pleading eyes. Tremaine's sudden shift in tone left her unsure of what to do.

Hogan found the whole situation very difficult to handle.

Before, he had been able to gain an upper hand over Tremaine due to the fact that he was Madam Quartley's grandson, but now Tremaine had openly apologized to her, and done it so humbly that there was no way for them to speak against him.

Even a wise and sophisticated man like Hogan could not think of a way out of this.

In the end, he only shook his head at Madam Quartley while looking at her.
