Ruth's breathing grew more and more rapid.
She wanted to put an end to this matter, but she didn't want to slander herself.
However, if she didn't, she couldn't imagine what would happen.
At that time, not only Zorion but also Yesseca would be implicated because of her.
Yuliana saw Ruth's chest heaving, her eyes darting around. She held out her hand and comforted Ruth, "Ruth, you have been with me for so many years, don't worry, I will not mistreat you. You know that I am a good person."
"After you tell Tremaine and he acts to punish you, I will speak out on your behalf. You can leave Quartley Palace, and I will give you some money. Then, you can live a comfortable life outside, isn't that good?"
Ruth's shoulders trembled slightly, and she said nothing.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Tremaine finally came back.
Yesseca had been waiting at the entrance of
Quartley Palace.
When Tremaine got out of the car and saw Yesseca, his eyes moved slightly.
"Waiting for me?" Tremaine stopped in front of Yesseca.
Yesseca suppressed her anger as she said, "Of course I'm waiting for you, who else would I be waiting for?"
Tremaine's tight face relaxed a little, and he said, "True, you must be waiting for me. Apart from me, who else would make you so worried that you have to wait at the door?"
Yesseca said nothing.
She glared at Tremaine.
What an attitude!
Why were his words always so tacky? How unlike a president!
Yesseca said, "I'm not joking with you. I'm really worried, but it's not you that I'm worried about. I'm worried about Ruth."
Hearing Yesseca's words, Tremaine's handsome face tensed up again.
It was Ruth yet again!
During the day, Tremaine had been so angry because of Yesseca's phone call. As the day passed, he had finally calmed down, but
Yesseca...
Tremaine said in a harsh tone, "I will investigate the matter about that servant. You don't have to keep mentioning her in front of me."
Yesseca said, "Okay, aren't you going to investigate it? Now that you're back, go investigate it right now!"
Tremaine was taken aback.
Tremaine was supposed to come back for investigation after work today. He'd been busy with work today and hadn't returned to Quartley Palace until 8 o'clock in the evening.
But now Yesseca's words had irked Tremaine.
He gave Yesseca a sidelong glance. "Yesseca, what do you think I am? A machine? I've been busy working the entire day at the Presidential office. Don't you think I need to rest after coming back?"
"No you don't. This is an important matter. Is rest more important than that?"
Yesseca's matter-of-fact words pricked Tremaine even more.
His face darkened even more. "Yesseca, in your eyes, is that servant more important than me? Is investigating her issue more important than everything?"
Yesseca held her breath.
