My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Perhaps there were other reasons.

For example, Yesseca wanted there to be a witness.

A witness to prove that she wasn't alone when she'd gone to the market and that she'd bought the meat at the market. The witness would prove that the problem didn't lie with her, but with the meat itself.

All sorts of thoughts raced through Tremaine's mind, and his head ached.

At the same time, Preslie made a call to Yesseca.

She wanted to tell Yesseca that Tremaine had questioned her.

But no one answered the phone.

Preslie went to look for Sheldon and reproached him for telling Tremaine that Yesseca had gone to the market. Tremaine was upset because of this.

Sheldon was confused.

That day, while in the car, he'd just mentioned this to Tremaine in passing, thinking that it was something amusing. He hadn't expected Tremaine to actually question Preslie about it. It seemed that Tremaine was upset.

Sheldon said doubtfully, "Mr. Tremaine's upset? What's there to be upset about?"

He felt that it was more likely that Tremaine would find this amusing. At most, he'd make fun of Yesseca for it, but there was no need for him to be upset.

Preslie said, "Because he feels that Yesseca's an embarrassment to him. Think about it. She's the president's wife- to- be. It's not befitting of her status to go to the market."

Sheldon was puzzled.

He said, "I can guarantee you that Mr. Tremaine isn't like that. He won't be embarrassed by Yesseca going to the market."

"No way. I think that's exactly what he thinks." Preslie recalled how Tremaine had obviously been displeased when questioning her. If he didn't think that Yesseca was an embarrassment, what was it, then?

Sheldon did not know whether to laugh or cry at Preslie's affirmative tone.

He said, "Preslie, which one of us has known Mr. Tremaine longer? Don't tell me you think that you know him better than I do. I'm telling you that that's impossible, and I'm sure of it!"

Preslie started to waver in the face of Sheldon's firm attitude.

She asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Sheldon said. "If I knew that Mr. Tremaine would get mad if he were to know about this, I wouldn't even have told him."

Preslie said nothing.

She mumbled, "If he's not mad, then why'd he question me? Why did he look so upset?"

Sheldon felt that Preslie must have been overthinking things.

He said, "He was probably just asking out of curiosity. You know how much he loves Yesseca and wants to know everything about her. As for being upset, you know that Mr. Tremaine only smiles when it comes to Yesseca."

That was why Preslie thought Tremaine was unhappy.

Preslie fell silent.

Sheldon's words made sense. After listening to him, Preslie felt that it was very likely that she was just overthinking matters.

Tremaine met up with the driver that had taken Yesseca to the market the day before.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, the driver had vaguely heard about what happened at Quartley Palace.

He was terrified.

When he met Tremaine, his face was ashen, and the first time he said was, "Mr. Tremaine, I don't know anything about this, I really don't! Miss Cowell asked me to take her to the market, so I did. I don't know about anything else!"

Tremaine's expression darkened.

He said coldly, "I've yet to even ask you a single question, yet you're already denying things. Maybe you really do know something!"

The driver was speechless.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he wiped it away nervously. He tried hard to calm himself down and stammered out, "Mr. Tremaine, I... I'll tell you everything I know."

"Yesterday, Miss Cowell suddenly

said that she wanted to go to the market to do some shopping and asked me to take her there. I felt that this was really odd, because Miss Cowelt had asked me to take her to many places before, like the

supermarket, the city centro V

and her

friend Miss Fernandez's house, but she'd never asked me to take her to the market."

"I even asked her about it. She said that she wanted to get some meat, and I told her that Quartley Palace should have some top-notch imported meat. Miss Cowell just laughed it off and said that she wanted to buy some at the market."

"Before going to the market, Miss Cowell had me head over to Miss Fernandez's house and we picked Miss Fernandez up at the entrance to her neighbourhood."

"After that, I drove them to the

market. When we got there, Miss Cowell asked me to wait outside, so I did. About twenty minutes later they came out, and Miss Cowell, asked me to drop Miss Fernandez off After that, we went back to Quartley Palace."

Even though he tried hard to calm himself down, the driver still couldn't suppress the quaver in his voice.

Tremaine asked, "Did you notice anything else unusual, aside from what you've just told me?"

The driver shook his head. "Mr. Tremaine, there wasn't anything unusual. If there was, I'd definitely let you know."

Tremaine appraised the driver. He knew that the driver had already told him everything that he knew. There was no use asking any further.

After dismissing the driver, Tremaine received a call from his subordinate.

His subordinate had already looked into Qiana and Yesseca's tracks. Neither of them had any records of purchasing poisonous items. However, Yesseca had definitely gone out more than Qiana had.

Qiana hadn't stepped out of Quartley Palace aside from sending and picking Montez to and from kindergarten as well as that one time that she'd gone out to buy Montez the dog.

Yesseca, on the other hand, left Quartley Palace regularly.

Tremaine frowned slightly.

After a moment, he went to Qiana's bedroom.

Though Qiana and Yesseca were locked up in their rooms, they weren't being mistreated. They had all the necessities they needed, and their meals were served on time. They just couldn't step out of their rooms.

When Tremaine arrived at Qiana's bedroom, Qiana was sitting on the floor listlessly.

When she saw Tremaine come in, she staggered to her feet and bowed to Tremaine. "Mr. Tremaine, you're here."

Tremaine asked Qiana to repeat the details of the day of the incident.

After Qiana finished speaking, Tremaine asked many sharp and detailed questions.

For instance, why she'd bought Montez a dog immediately after he'd asked for one. Was it because she doted on him, or did she have any ulterior

motives?

Also, why had Qiana deliberately taken Yesseca's broth to the kitchen to cool it down?
