Yuliana wanted to defend herself, but the words just wouldn't leave her lips, especially when she saw the all-knowing look on Madam Quartley's face.
She could only stand there feeling guilty.
At this moment, Madam Quartley patted her on the shoulder.
Yuliana was already keyed up from being found out, hence when she was patted on the shoulder, she trembled even more.
Madam Quartley sighed.
"Yuliana, don't be afraid," she reassured. "You are still my granddaughter- in- law. this has not changed."
Yuliana felt a little relieved.
She couldn't figure out now how much Madam Quartley knows.
But as long as she still recognized this identity of hers as her granddaughter-in-law, she would have nothing to fear.
"Even if Tremaine stopped being the president, his prestige as well as that of the Quartley Family is still there. You will not be any worse off in the future. Although it could not compare to the past, the people would still be respectful towards you. You need not feel that there would be a great disparity."
Yuliana stayed silent, but her heart was troubled.
No great disparity?
How could there be no disparity!
So what if Tremaine's prestige was still around?
He still essentially won't be the president anymore!
"Let's live a better life." Madam Quartley spoke softly, "Yuliana, treat Zorion more kindly in the future. I know you dislike him, but even though he's as foolish as they come, his heart is pure. There is no one in the world who will treat you better than Zorion."
Yuliana managed to squeeze out a sentence through her tight lips. "Grandma, what are you saying? Zorion is my husband, how could I dislike him for being dumb?"
Madam Quartley laughed, her smile a complicated twist, "It's best if you don't dislike him."
