As Yuliana was silent, Tremaine started to mock her. "I know that you have bad eyesight, and it's not the first time you've mistaken. I hope you can get your eyes checked and get them treated as soon as possible. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen."
Yuliana was not stupid.
How could she not understand the sarcasm in Tremaine's tone? Yuliana was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in a hole.
Tremaine curled his lips, and his gaze was intimidating.
"Yuliana, as far as I know, you have bought a lot of luxury goods these years, and I think you can't use them all. If you sell those, you can also help the people of Nashaland."
At that instant, Yuliana felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.
However, she had to force a smile. "You're right, Tremaine. I really can't wear all of them. I've been organizing my things for the past two days, and I was thinking about donating some of them. Even if you didn't mention it, I was still going to donate."
Yuliana knew that she made another mistake, and Tremaine wouldn't let her go so easily. The only way to calm Tremaine down was to make a few sacrifices.
Tremaine sneered. "That would be great, Yuliana."
Yuliana couldn't stay any longer.
With that, she said, "I'll head back and pack up. I'll donate them all tomorrow."
Just as Yuliana was about to leave, Tremaine stopped Yuliana again.
He said clearly, word by word, "Don't you think you need to say something after slandering Yesseca like this?"
Yuliana's fists were clenched tightly.
The hatred that she was feeling at that moment was beyond description.
Originally, she thought that there would be no trouble after saying she was going to donate her things, but she didn't expect Tremaine to stop her!
Yuliana had to look at Yesseca.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "Yesseca, I was wrong. It's all my fault. Please forgive me, and let's put this behind us."
After that, Yuliana ran away as if she had seen a ghost.
After Yuliana left, Tremaine looked at Madam Quartley again. "Do you have anything else to say,
Grandmother?"
Madam Quarley had mixed feelings.
Moments later, she muttered, "You did a good deed."
After muttering, Madam Quartley turned around and left.
Tremaine did not stop her and let her leave.
After all, Madam Quartley had only called Yesseca to come down when he returned. She did not make things difficult for Yesseca beforehand.
Plus, Madam Quartley was his grandmother.
As he didn't want to embarrass Madam Quartley, he let it slide.
After Madam Quartley and Yuliana left, Tremaine dismissed the guards as well.
As all of them left the room, Tremaine strode towards Yesseca.
Yesseca's eyes were glowing.
Her heart was full of gratitude towards Tremaine.
When Yuliana had wronged her at first, Tremaine didn't ask what had happened and stood on Yesseca's side instead. How could she not be grateful for a man like this?
Just as Yesseca was about to thank Tremaine, Tremaine stretched out his hand.
In a split second, Yesseca cried out in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand to pinch Yesseca's ear.
It was painful.
Yesseca shouted, "Tremaine, let go of me, let go of me!"
Tremaine sneered. "You sold them as soon as I gave them to you. Yesseca, you move fast, huh."
Yesseca laughed dryly.
Knowing that she was guilty, she softened her voice. "Because I don't need it. Besides, it is also to help the people in Nashaland. Those are your people."
Tremaine loosened his grip.
