Yuliana huffed a contemptuous laugh.
Her tone was satirical. "Really, humiliated?" She continued, "Come on, finish your joke, I'm waiting for the punchline. Listen, she doesn't give a d*mn about shame. She wanted to climb the social ladder, that is why she slept with Zorion. Do you think a woman like her knows anything about humiliation?"
Yesseca hated the fact that Yuliana had been insisting that Ruth had slept with Zorion and not the other way round.
The matter had not been investigated properly yet, so to what exactly did Yuliana owe this entitled certainty?
Yesseca argued with Yuliana, "How can you be sure that Ruth is doing this just to get to the top? How dare you indicate that she is ruthless?"
Yuliana's face was full of disdain. "These servants are all the same. The only thing that they think about is changing their fate. They will do anything to get their way, even shameless things."
After a pause, Yuliana dragged her voice and said, "Especially now, everyone wants to be successful. Even though our Zorion is silly, but to servants, he is their ticket to success and freedom, if one of them gets hold of Zorion, they will be able to change their fates."
Yesseca knew that Yuliana was insinuating her.
Yuliana was talking about Yesseca's "success story".
Yesseca's expression turned cold. "Madam Yuliana, you should really keep your inner snob in check. So what if someone is a servant? It does not mean that all of them are socialite wannabes. You're just stroking your own ego!"
When Yuliana heard that, she raised her hand against Yesseca.
She wanted to give Yesseca a hard slap in the face.
However, as she waved her hand, she noticed the Yesseca was glaring angrily at her.
Yuliana suddenly realized something.
She immediately withdrew her hand.
No, she could not hit Yesseca.
Yesseca was now Tremaine's precious possession, and this woman was not easy to deal with. If she hit Yesseca, Tremaine would definitely cause a scene.
Yuliana gritted her teeth and glared at Yesseca before leaving.
Yuliana was not a person who would swallow insult and humiliation.
Having been bullied by Yesseca, she was thinking about how to get back at her.
She didn't dare to meet Yesseca head on.
After all, she had suffered a lot before, and Yuliana was not a fool.
After thinking for a while, Yuliana finally thought of Madam Quartley.
She ran to Madam Quartley and cried, "Madam Quartley, Yesseca came to me and told me off. She said that it was a blessing for Zorion that Ruth slept with him. She said that I cannot blame Ruth."
Madam Quartley was shocked. She didn't expect Yesseca to have said such shameless words.
She said, "Yuliana, is that true?"
Yuliana wiped her tears and said, "When she scolded me, that was what she meant. She said that I have no right to blame Ruth, and that all of this is Zorion's fault. In her word, it was Ruth who suffered losses."
Madam Quartley was furious when she heard that.
She was about to look for Yesseca when she suddenly thought that something was off.
Madam Quartley took a deep look at Yuliana. "That Yesseca is not as lowly as you said."
Yuliana immediately became agitated.
She said, "Madam Quartley, she is a commoner. Of course she thinks that way."
Madam Quartley shook her head, "Yuliana, I didn't know until now that Yesseca's non-blood related brother is actually Matthew Perry. She is connected to Matthew. I think that her background is really not as simple as we know."
Yuliana asked, "Who is Matthew?"
Yuliana was a housewife, and she had spent most of her life in Nashaland, so it was normal that she didn't know who Matthew was.
Madam Quartley said, "Yuliana, you don't know him. He's not from Nashaland. But he is a powerful man. Nancy liked him, and I wanted to bring the two of them together, but he did not want to."
Even now, Madam Quartley still had some regrets when she thought of this.
Yuliana's eyes flashed with disbelief.
Nancy!
That was Madam Quartley's niece!
She was a beauty with good family background. Yuliana had seen Nancy several times. She was a proud girl. If such a girl fell in love with a man, and Madam Quartley tried bringing them together, what man would say no?
Yuliana couldn't believe it.
Madam Quartley said, "So, Yuliana, don't say that Yesseca is just a commoner. Although I only met with Matthew a few times, since Yesseca is his sister, I have to give him some respect."
