She shouted, "What did I do in my last life? In this life, my husband sneaked into another woman's room. Yet, I am the one being bullied and beaten. Why am I so pitiful?"
Zorion subconsciously retorted, "Honey, you didn't get beaten. It was you who hit us."
Yuliana was speechless.
She glared at Zorion.
If it weren't for Tremaine's presence, she would have kicked Zorion hard.
What an idiot!
What a big idiot!
Zorion also came to his senses and realized that he had said something wrong. Zorion didn't know what to do.
On the other hand, Tremaine was already impatient.
He glanced at Yuliana with a sharp gaze. "If you were beaten, I would look for a doctor to examine you. But if I can't find any bruises on you, the consequences will be terrible."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
There was a tone of warning in his words.
Yuliana's heart skipped a beat.
She just wanted to put on an act, but she didn't want to go too far. After all, Tremaine was not a fool like Zorion, who could be fooled by her at will. Now that Tremaine had made it clear that he would give her a way out, she decided to stop her nonsense. She didn't want to go too far. Yuliana wiped her eyes again. "Forget it, let's just forget it. I'm the eldest mistress of the Quartley family. I have to think about the overall situation. This woman is pregnant and I don't want to argue with her."
After saying that, Yuliana glanced at Zorion. "Zorion, let's go back!"
Zorion did not leave.
He hesitated and looked at Ruth.
Yuliana was angry.
Zorion was such a fool. He still had feelings for Ruth, that coquettish fox!
Yuliana walked over and pulled Zorion hard. "Let's go!"
Zorion's mouth twitched.
He felt that Ruth looked pitiful when she was curled up in a corner. He really wanted to go over and talk to her and to comfort her.
However, he was afraid that if he did that, Yuliana would scold him and beat him.
After struggling internally, Zorion eventually followed Yuliana back.
After the two of them left, Qiana immediately ran to Ruth's side. She asked anxiously, "Ruth, are you okay?"
Ruth buried her head in her knees, not saying a word.
However, her hands and legs were trembling slightly.
Qiana raised her head and looked at Tremaine. "Tremaine, I ran over when I heard some noise. I also wanted to stop her, but Yuliana was too strong for me to stop. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen."
Tremaine's eyes fell on her face.
Her face was so anxious and full of concern for Ruth.
Tremaine's heart was filled with coldness and sarcasm.
This woman was good at acting.
He couldn't even find a flaw in her performance.
Even he was deceived.
However, he would not expose Qiana's lie now.
Because the more he investigated, the more he discovered that Qiana's motives were not that simple. She didn't just want to harm Yesseca and take over her place.
This woman had many secrets.
Tremaine replied lightly, "I happened to come to see my brother at night. Then, I heard the noise here. You live so far away. How could you hear the noise?"
His tone was not questioning, but as if he had asked a random question.
There was a flash of guilt in Qiana's eyes, but it soon disappeared.
She replied, "Tremaine, I'm about to get married to you and I'm very excited." Speaking of this, there was a blush on her face. "So I couldn't fall asleep at night and wandered around the Quartley palace. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"Really?" Tremaine took a deep look at Qiana and exclaimed, "You need to have enough rest. You'd better sleep early at night and don't wander around too much."
Qiana nodded immediately. "Yes, I will sleep early in the future."
"Go and have some rest now," Tremaine uttered.
Qiana did not dare to stay any longer and immediately left Ruth's bedroom.
When she walked out, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Just now, when Tremaine asked her how she could hear the noise from so far away, she was really scared.
She was afraid that he would find something wrong.
However, she didn't expect that Tremaine didn't notice anything and even reminded her to have a good rest.
Qiana couldn't help smirking to herself.
It seemed that Tremaine had really fallen in love with her now. Hence, he would not doubt her no matter what she did. "The heavens have not let the evil people down."
She had done so much, and finally, this arrogant man had her in his heart.
Ruth was still curled up in a corner.
Tremaine then walked over to her.
"Ruth," he called out in a low voice.
Ruth's head trembled. After a while, she raised her head.
Her face was streaked with tears.
"I'm sorry," Tremaine suddenly apologized.
He had promised Ruth that he would protect the child in her belly.
However, in order to investigate Qiana, Ruth had to suffer a little.
Ruth was shocked.
She didn't expect that the powerful Tremaine would even apologize to her.
Ruth's mouth trembled.
After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence. "She...she's too much of a bully."
Tremaine knew instantly who Ruth was talking about.
He was well aware of her grievances, but he couldn't do anything for her.
This situation was just like in politics.
As a leader, he needed to balance the pros and cons of all parties.
Tremaine stared into Ruth's eyes and advised, Ruth, you have served Yuliana for so many years. You should know how important she to my brother. When you had an illegitimate relationship with my brother, you should have known What consequences you would have to bear."
Ruth felt as if her heart had been stabbed.
Zorion was so strong that night that she couldn't resist him at all.
However, she did not defend herself and swallowed her grievances.
Tremaine's meaning was very clear.
Since she could never replace Yuiana's position in Zorion's heart, doing those useless things would only make her suffer.
At the same time, she also knew
that Yuliana was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Quartley family and the sister-in-law of Tremaine. Therefore, it was impossible for Tremaine to do anything to Yuliana. She didn't need to say those things.
Ruth fell silent.
Tremaine did not say much. He just reminded, "Remember, no matter what happens, the child in your belly will be safe. I promised you that, and
I would never break my promise."
After that, Tremaine turned around and left.
"Mr. Tremaine," Ruth suddenly called out.
He stopped and looked back at Ruth with his deep eyes. "Is there anything else?"
There was a flash of hesitation in her eyes, but she finally spoke. "Mr. Tremaine, I think there is something wrong with Qiana."
After a pause, Ruth continued, "I don't know what to say, but I feel that something is wrong with her."
Tremaine's eyes moved slightly.
He didn't expect Ruth to be able to tell that something was off about Qiana.
