Chapter 2077
It had something to do with Qiana and Montez.
Ever since Montez had gotten diarrhoea because of her cookies, Qiana had still been so nice to her. It made Yesseca feel ashamed.
When she was cooped up in Quartley Palace, she kept thinking about this matter and wanted nothing more than do dig a hole for herself.
That was why she'd gone out so frequently. She wanted to walk around and take a breather to get rid of the awkwardness and embarrassment that she felt.
In fact, it was fine to mention this to Tremaine.
But Yesseca still felt a little embarrassed.
What's more, Tremaine was so untrusting of her and actually suspected her of poisoning Montez. This made her even more reluctant to tell him.
Yesseca replied, "Nothing much, I just wanted to go out."
Tremaine didn't say anything.
He'd noticed the emotions that had flitted through Yesseca's eyes when she'd answered him.
Tremaine concluded that Yesseca was lying to him.
But why?
Was it because it wasn't as she'd said? She'd been going out for some other reason?
Tremaine was suddenly shocked.
He looked at Yesseca seriously. "Yesseca, are you sure that you're not lying to me?"
His gaze made Yesseca feel rather uncomfortable.
Tremaine doubted her words.
This made her feel that he wouldn't believe anything that she said or did at this point in time.
He had no trust in her. He thought that she'd poisoned Montez, and suspected her in everything that she did.
This made Yesseca want to rebel.
She raised her voice and said, "Believe what you want."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Tremaine didn't speak.
He took one last look at Yesseca before turning to leave.
Seeing that he was walking away, Yesseca shouted, "Tremaine, when will you let me leave?"
Tremaine stopped.
He turned around to look at Yesseca. "I'm not locking you up. I'm just telling you not to leave this bedroom for the time being." Yesseca's tone was mocking. "Keeping me cooped up in here and not allowing me to leave is locking me up! Who do you think I am, Tremaine? Some criminal? I'm only slightly better off than a criminal! They're locked up in prison, but I'm locked up in this grand, lavish bedroom!"
"Yesseca, once I get to the bottom of this, you'll be free."
Yesseca stared at him. "I know that. What bothers me, Tremaine is the fact that you're locking me up because you're suspecting me. You don't trust me!"
At this point, Yesseca started to tear up. "How can you not know the type of person I am when we've known each other for so long? Do you really think that I'd poison Montez? Do you think of me as such a malicious, evil woman?"
Yesseca's words stabbed Tremaine deeply.
A bitterness spread in Tremaine's heart.
Of course, he didn't doubt Yesseca.
He did not want to doubt Yesseca.
However, all the evidence was pointing towards Yesseca...
With regards to the cookie incident, Tremaine knew that lactose intolerance wasn't enough to explain Montez's diarrhoea and fever.
Because he knew that Montez wasn't lactose intolerant at all.
He could drink milk and could consume all dairy products.
He'd still accepted Yesseca's explanation, though.
Because he loved her.
He didn't want to press her because of his love for her.
Now, however, it wasn't just a simple case of diarrhoea and fever. There was poison in Yesseca's broth. If the dog hadn't drunk the broth, Montez would've died.
No matter how much Tremaine loved Yesseca, he couldn't turn a blind eye to this.
He was Montez's father.
He couldn't ignore his son's life because of the woman he loved.
Therefore, no matter how much he loved Yesseca, he had to investigate her.
Tremaine suppressed his emotions and turned away without saying a word.
The door was closed again.
Yesseca finally started to cry.
She'd always thought that Tremaine loved her very much.
She'd been especially sure of this after they'd worked through the misunderstanding over the wedding.
Tremaine loved her.
Very much.
Though they differed a lot in terms of their statuses, their love was enough to transcend this. It was because of their love that she knew she and Tremaine would have their happily ever after.
But now, Yesseca suddenly felt that she was wrong.
He did not love her as much as she had imagined.
An indescribable sadness spread through Yesseca's heart.
Yesseca wiped her tears away and walked over to the window.
Yesseca opened the window and looked at it.
She wondered whether the heavens could tell how sorrowful she was feeling. The weather was as gloomy as her mood was.
Yesseca looked up at the sky.
She mumbled, "Lothar, did I make a mistake? Did I fall in love with the wrong person?"
Tremaine went to the hospital again.
Qiana had already woken up.
However, she looked dazed. Perhaps it was because she'd hit her head too hard.
Tremaine asked Madam Quartley and Yuliana to leave the room for the time being.
There were some things that he wanted to ask Qiana again.
Madam Quartley was unhappy that Tremaine wanted to interrogate Qiana again.

She looked at him with displeasure. "Tremaine, what do you mean by this? Why do you keep questioning. Qiana instead of that Yesseca? Qiana's already tried to take her life once Are you trying to kill her so that you can push all the blame to her and get Yesseca out of this?"
Tremaine said, "Grandma, I'm not questioning her. I just need to confirm a few more things. Also, Montez is my son. There's no put his life at risk. I won't allow anyone to get away with

Madam Quartley snorted. "I hope

that you can do as you say. Also, I don't want anything to happen to Qiana anymore. Qiana's a good woman, Tremaine, and she'd been through enough. Her son almost died, and she's under suspicion of
being the culprit. No mother would be able to take it!"
Tremaine didn't say much, only saying, "Nothing else will happen to her."
Previously, Tremaine had been caught off guard by her actions.
This time, he wouldn't allow something like that to happen again.
