Chapter 1954
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!Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
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.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Tremaine was jealous.
Yesseca said,
It's not that she is
more important than you, but it's already important to clear up the injustice for someone. Besides, Ruth is a citizen of Nashaland, and you are the president. That is why you should help her."
"Besides, Tremaine, you are a machine. I mean, you can do all kinds of things at night, and go to work in the morning full of energy. What are you if not a machine?"
Tremaine said nothing.
He glanced at Yesseca. "Dummy, I didn't notice that you're becoming more and more eloquent."
He paused for a moment and said, "You're right. It's imperative to clear up the grievances for my citizens. I'm going to investigate this now."
A dim light flashed in Tremaine's eyes as he spoke.
No time should be wasted when it came to clearing one's name.
The problem was that perhaps, it was not an injustice.
He knew Zorion. Although Zorion was silly, he was not the kind of man who would force himself on
women.
Therefore, the biggest problem could be Ruth.
As for Yesseca, he could tell that she was quite interested in helping that servant.
Tremaine should hate to disappoint Yesseca.
But now, since Yesseca was urging him like this, he had no choice but to get to the bottom of the problem.
Just as Tremaine and Yesseca walked into Quartley Palace, a soldier in charge of guarding Ruth suddenly came to report.
He said that Ruth had something to confess to Tremaine.
Ten minutes later, in the hall of Quartley Palace.
Ruth was brought over.
At the same time, Yuliana and Madam Quartley also came, save Zorion.
Yuliana said that she and Madam Quartley were also requested to come over by the soldiers guarding Ruth.
At this moment, Ruth was standing in the center of the hall. Her face was very pale, stripped of any emotions.
"Mr. Tremaine, I have something to report to you," Ruth said.
Tremaine nodded and glanced at Ruth with a dignified look. "Speak. Now keep in mind, each of your words must be the truth."
Ruth said in a low voice, "I promise, every word I say will be the truth."
As soon as she finished her words, Yesseca said, "Ruth, what happened? Tell us everything. Now Tremaine is here, and he will make the decision for you."
Ruth did not speak, but there was a flash of gratitude in her eyes.
She really appreciated Yesseca.
It was also because Yesseca was kind that she couldn't implicate her.
Ruth said, "Mr, Tremaine, I came with Madamuliana into this family. Because of that, I spent a lot of time with Master Zorion. I slowly became attracted to him. Even though he is not as brilliant like you, he is still very handsome. That is why that admiration turned into adoration. I like him." Content belongs to
This was the first time that Ruth had publicly expressed her feelings.
And when she said these words, no one doubted it, because the expression on Ruth's face had told everyone that she really admired Zorion.
"That day, when Master Zorion was sick, I went to look after him. When I saw him, found that I couldn't think clearly. I don't know what came over
me. I took off my clothes." Ruth
lowered her gaze and said, "And the rest is history."
