My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1908

Yesseca said to Sheldon, "Mr. Hawls, wait here. I'll go up and ask her."

After all, Sheldon was a man, so it was not a good idea for him to go into a girl's room.

He nodded.

Yesseca went upstairs.

Fortunately, she still remembered the floor where Preslie lived. After a while, Yesseca knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

Amelia appeared in front of Yesseca.

Looking at Yesseca, Amelia felt a wave of familiarity.

She took a closer look and recognized Yesseca's face.

This woman was Preslie's friend. She was the one who'd held the wedding where Preslie had been a bridesmaid.

Although the wedding had been ruined, it had been the type of event which only the rich would have been able to plan, therefore Amelia was polite towards Yesseca.

She said, "Are you looking for Preslie? She's not here. She's been taken away."

Yesseca was surprised. "Taken away?"

"Yeah," Amelia said. "It's been a long time. A man in a military uniform came to our door to look for Preslie. He seemed to be from Nashaland. He brought some troops with him. Preslie must've done something wrong in Nashaland and gotten caught for it but I don't know what she did. Why was she so stupid?"

Yesseca was speechless.

Although she didn't understand what it was all about, she figured that Amelia must have misunderstood something.

She was about to explain to Amelia when she noticed the gloating look on Amelia's face.

Yesseca immediately felt unhappy.

No matter how terrible their relationship was, how could Amelia be so elated when she thought Preslie had been arrested?

Was she not worried about Preslie at all?

Yesseca couldn't help but say, "Well, she's your sister. Don't you care about her now that she's gone?"

The corners of Amelia's lips twitched. "Pfft. Who cares about that fat girl?"

Just then, a voice came over. "Amelia, who's here?"

Her mother popped her head out.

Amelia immediately said, "Mom, Preslie's friend's looking for her."

Celine's voice became shrill. "Looking for Preslie? What are they doing here? Go to the jail in Nashaland and find her instead. Now, Preslie has nothing to do with us at all!"

After a pause, Celine added, "The next time someone comes to see Preslie, tell them that we don't know her at all. She's a total embarrassment!"

After hearing Celine say that Preslie was an embarassment, Yesseca was so angry that her blood boiled.

That was probably because she had had a good relationship with her mother and brother since she was young. Yesseca couldn't stand a family being so mean-spirited and cold-blooded to their own.

Yesseca couldn't resist raising her voice. "Madam Celine, what are you talking about? How is Preslie an embarrassment?!"

Celine said icily, "Why not?! She grew up fat. Then, she started selling clothes in a mall without even going to college. Not long ago, she was bragging about working at the president's office in Nashaland, but now she has been arrested by the military of the country itself. Wouldn't you be ashamed of that?"

Yesseca was both furious and amused by Celine's words.

She said, "She wasn't bragging! She now works at the president's office in Nashaland!"

Celine snorted. "That's what Preslie told you, right? Do you believe her? Who does she think she is? How can an uneducated girl who only sells clothes work in the president's office? If I were her, I'd say I've become the president's wife!"

Yesseca didn't reply.

She took a deep breath.

It was more important to find Preslie now.

She shouldn't be quarrelling here.

Before leaving, Yesseca took a deep look at Celine. "Madam Celine, you'll regret your words one day."
