Sheldon said helplessly, "Sir, I don't know how to answer your question because I don't know the answer myself either."
Tremaine certainly did not expect that.
He sneered. "You gave a bag to a woman, and now you are telling me you don't know the reason why you did that. How is that possible?"
"Sir, I really don't know," Sheldon insisted, "That day, I accidentally walked past the Hermes' shop, and I suddenly had the urge to buy her a bag. I myself feel puzzled and don't understand what's going on."
Tremaine stared at Sheldon's face for a while.
Sheldon didn't seem to be lying.
Tremaine thought of something at once.
After a while, Tremaine suddenly said, "Sheldon, I'm afraid you are going to get into trouble."
Sheldon said nothing.
What trouble was he going to get into?
Why was he going to get into trouble?
He looked at Tremaine with a questioning look.
Tremaine continued seriously, "Because you have fallen in love with such a stupid woman. Don't you think that this is a misfortune? I now think that your future is going to be worrisome."
Sheldon was speechless.
His face had flushed red when Tremaine said that he had fallen in love with Preslie.
His lips trembled a little because of his nervousness. He said, "Mr. Tremaine, I don't. How could I like her? It's absolutely impossible!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Sheldon, are you sure?" Tremaine asked, looking at Sheldon.
Sheldon could tell from Tremaine's expression that he believed that Sheldon liked Preslie.
And that made him want to make things clearer to Tremaine.
He instantly added, "Mr. Tremaine, I don't like Preslie. She looks silly and dumb all the time. How would I like her? She's not my cup of tea."
Sheldon was more and more eager to prove that he had no feelings for Preslie, but Tremaine, on the other hand, felt that Sheldon was not telling the truth.
He suddenly stood up and walked towards Sheldon.
Tremaine patted Sheldon's shoulder and said, "Sheldon, there was once a man who told me that I couldn't figure out my true feelings. Now I think this line should be more suited to be used on you."
Sheldon was confused.
A man?
Which man had said such words to Tremaine?
Also, what did he mean by saying that he couldn't figure out his true feelings?
How was that possible? How can he not know his own feelings?
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean," Sheldon said.
Tremaine showed a meaningful smile and replied, "I think I should introduce you to him one day."
Sheldon should get acquainted with Matthew and have a good talk with him. That would wake his brain and heart up.
Sheldon felt more and more confused, not knowing what Tremaine meant by his words.
Hogan was so angry with Tremaine's words that he almost saw red.
He said, "Sir, you are muddled. If you embarrass Megeland in public, they will make us enemies. By then, you will have damaged the interests of our country, and the people of the Nashaland will suffer."
Tremaine sneered.
He said, "Mr. Welmert, as the Cabinet leader of the Nashaland, you have underestimated your own country. You can rest assured that Megeland and the Nashaland will not become enemies. Spencer won't make us enemies just because of that. He knows how to weigh his pros and cons."
Tremaine seemed to have no worries or fear, but in actual fact, he was confident because he understood and could foresee how this might turn out.
He bet that although Spencer may be mad, without a doubt, he wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize Nashaland.
"Sir, isn't it good for our country to form an alliance with Megeland through a marriage of state? Why do you have to do this? Why are you doing this?" Hogan's face turned red from anger.
"Mr. Welmert, can't you just be the leader of the Cabinet? Why bother meddling in my personal love life?" Tremaine said.
Hogan was speechless for a moment.
He took a deep breath and answered, "Mr. Tremaine, this is the last time I'll come here to persuade you. If you still insist on being insensible, then I'll resign!"
Tremaine's eyes were a little cold.
Was Hogan threatening him with his resignation?
"Mr. Welmert, don't think that I can't do without you." "Of course, you don't need me!" Hogan raised his voice and added, "Having Miss Cowell alone is enough. As for any others, you can totally ignore them. Since that's the case, then what's the point of having me, the leader of the cabinet? Since I'm just here to stir up trouble for you, please accept my resignation."
Tremaine's eyes grew colder. "Hogan Welmert, are you sure?"
"Of course, unless you agree to form an alliance with Megeland through marriage!" Hogan's voice was loud and powerful.
Tremaine sneered, "As I said, I am not afraid of threats. Since you want to resign, then I approve of your resignation!"
