Tremaine kissed Yesseca's forehead, showing a rare moment of gentleness.
He said, "Well, don't worry so much. Go to bed. I'll be there tomorrow."
Yesseca still felt very nervous about it.
She didn't know how Tremaine would face tomorrow's protestors. She wanted to ask him, but when she saw how confident he looked, she decided not to.
Tremaine must have worked out a plan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't look this confident.
She still decided not to probe him any further, in case it upset him.
Just as Yesseca was about to leave, she heard a loud scream.
The scream was so loud that it echoed along the entire Quartley Palace.
Tremaine and Yesseca looked at each other.
Slap!
A crisp slap rang out.
Yuliana had raised her hand and slapped Ruth.
She had never expected this, not even a little!
Ruth, who had always been so honest, had dared to do such a shameless thing!
Yuliana had returned to her room and decided to go to sleep.
However, after an hour of tossing and turning around she couldn't get any sleep. Yuliana then got up.
She was still worried that someone might find out that Zorian was drunk because of her. Yuliana then decided to go and see him again.
However, as soon as she arrived at Zorion's bedroom, she saw Ruth in Zorion's bed.
Although Zorion had already fallen asleep, she could tell exactly what had happened here based on how Ruth looked and the traces of blood on the sheets.
Blood rushed into Yuliana's head.
She never expected Ruth to be having an affair with Zorion!
"Ruth, you shameless fox. How dare you seduce Zorion!" After screaming from disbelief, Yuliana began to swear out loud.
Ruth, who was sitting on the bed, was shivering.
Everything felt like a dream right now.
She had come to see if Zorion was alright, but then she got pulled onto the bed and was held down by him.
She hadn't meant to do anything with Zorion.
She knew.
That she was just a maid.
Just a lowly maid.
Zorion, on the other had, was a dignified member of the Quartley family.
She had wanted to push Zorion away.
But, he was an adult man who was over six feet tall. How could a small, thin woman like her push him away? She then felt a stabbing pain in her body.
Zorion then fell asleep.
Ruth sat up on the bed.
She then put on her clothes with her trembling hands.
She only had one thought in her mind.
No matter what, no one must know about this.
After putting on her clothes, she had planned to leave and act as though nothing had happened. She didn't expect Yuliana to suddenly appear.
