Chapter 1977
This of course, included Matthew and Selina.
Everyone thought that Tremaine and Yesseca had had a smooth wedding and were now happily married.
Madam Quartley realized that something was wrong on the third day after the wedding.
Tremaine still hadn't returned yet.
Even if Tremaine had wanted to avoid Yesseca, he wouldn't have stayed away for so long.
His phone was still switched off and he had remained uncontactable.
Madam Quartley knew Tremaine well. He may have a cold personality but he was still a filial family member.
He wouldn't do anything that would cause his family worry.
The wedding had been called off and he had not returned home since. Normally, Tremaine would have at least called her once with an explanation for these things, but it had been an abnormal amount of time since he'd contacted her...
Madam Quartley called the presidential office.
They told her that Tremaine had been away on business and hadn't been in the office for the past few days.
She then hung up the phone and called Hogan.
Hogan however, was somewhat hesitant in his response. He didn't seem like he wanted to talk to Madam Quartley for very long about this. After exchanging a few words, Hogan politely declined to talk about it any further and promptly ended the call.
Madam Quartley was getting very uspet.
After thinking about this, she decided to go to Hogan's house to see him personally.
As she stepped out, she happened to bump into Yuliana.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
It was rare for Madam Quartley to step out of the Quartley Palace, which was why Yuliana asked her where she was going.
She then told Yuliana about her suspicion.
Yuliana felt pity for her.
She felt that Madam Quartley was overreacting out of worry.
Yuliana said, "Don't worry, Madam Quartley. Tremaine is very capable and can handle anything. If something really did happen to him, we would know about it! He hasn't come home because he's avoiding Yesseca, the plague goddess."
Yuliana looked very relaxed as she said this. "Tremaine must really hate Yesseca. He's just waiting for Yesseca to wake up and leave the Quartley Palace by herself. Yesseca however, isn't a very sensible person. She's still clinging onto her former status. Madam Quartley, I think we should remind her of the situation she is in right now, so that she'll realize how silly she is for still remaining so obliviously happy. She still has no idea how bad things are!"
Madam Quartley had no patience for Yesseca at the moment.
She still felt uneasy, especially with how vague Hogan was earlier over the phone. She felt that something must have gone wrong after talking to him. First of all, the wedding had been abruptly called off, and then Tremaine had disappeared...
Madam Quartley then said to Yuliana, "I'd better go see Hogan. Yuliana, don't do anything to provoke Yesseca. Remember, don't do anything until we figure out what's going on."
After telling her this, Madam Quartley quickly left.
Yuliana snorted as she watched Madam Quartley rush off.
She assumed that Madam Quartley must be scared of Yesseca after having been bested by her several times now.
Heh, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Things were very different for Yesseca now!
Tremaine didn't want Yesseca anymore. She had no one to rely on, so there was no reason for her to continue holding her head high.
The more Yuliana thought about it, the more she itched to get her revenge on Yesseca. She wished she had some tricks to play to get back at her for all the shame she'd felt.
Madam Quartley had arrived at Hogan's residence.
But Hogan wasn't home.
The butler told Madam Quartley to return to her home for now and that he would contact her immediately when Hogan returned.
But Madam Quartley refused to leave.
She said, "I'll wait for him right here."
If a phone call was enough, she wouldn't have come all this way.
Since she was already here, she had to make sure that she met Hogan before she left.
"Madam Quartley, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a very long time. Mr. Welmert has some business to attend to so he won't be coming home anytime soon," the butler said awkwardly.
Madam Quartley wasn't in a hurry.
She took a sip of her tea and said, "That's alright, I'll just stay here. I'll wait for him right here.
Time passed slowly.
Soon, three hours had passed.
Noticing that Madam Quartley had no intention of leaving anytime soon, the butler contacted Hogan.
He then explained the situation to Hogan.
"Mr. Welmert, I'm afraid Madam Quartley is very firm on this. Even if you returned home tomorrow, she would still be waiting here for you." Hogan's thick eyebrows knitted together.
He knew that Madam Quartley would have made her way there. He had made plans to avoid her today, but hadn't expected her to still be there after waiting for three whole hours.
He let out a long sigh.
It seemed that he had no choice but to meet with Madam Quartley.
Half an hour later, Madam Quartley got to meet with Hogan.
She went straight to the point with him. "Mr. Welmert, what's wrong with Tremaine? Why hasn't he returned after so many days?"
Hogan replied, "The president has gone to visit another country and won't be returning so soon. Don't worry, Madam Quartley."
"Really? Tell him to call me right now," Madam Quartley demanded.
Hogan looked embarrassed: "Madam Quartley, you know how things are regarding national affairs. Tremaine and the leaders of the other countries are discussing political affairs right now. He won't be able to call you."
Madam Quartley looked at him
sharply and said, "Mr. Welmert, I didn't say that Tremaine had to call me right this minute. I understand that he is discussing important issues right now, but he still has to rest and eat. Have him call me then." Content belongs to
Hogan didn't respond. He looked very troubled.
Madam Quartley felt her heart drop when she saw Hogan's expression.
She suddenly raised her voice. "Mr. Welmert, tell me the truth. Has something happened to Tremaine?"
Hogan: "Well..."
"Mr. Welmert, I'm Tremaine's grandmother. I have to know! Tell me right now!" Madam Quartley demanded.
Hogan hesitated.
He knew that he couldn't keep this from Madam Quartley any longer.
The Quartley family's matriarch was no ordinary woman after all. Even if she had found out that something had happened to Tremaine, she wouldn't
be as flustered as a regular woman, and would nor stir up any trouble.
After hesitating for a moment, Hogan then told her the truth, "Madam Quartley, something has indeed happened to the president. It happened on his wedding day!"
Madam Quartley felt dizzy.
But she wasn't an ordinary person
after all. On top of that, she had very quickly calmed herself down the last time Tremaine had gotten into an accident. She then asked, "Mr.
el
Welmert, what happened on the wedding day? What happened to Tremaine?"
Hogan told Madam Quartley everything, "Matriarch, on the wedding day, he suddenly disappeared from his room. Because this is a very urgent matter,
all news about it has been kept secret. Aside from a few high ranking officials, no one else knows about it. Even the staff at the presidential office think that he's away on business."
