Yesseca was speechless for a moment.
She explained with a frown, "It's just a title, like how you call a lady miss and a man handsome. I know you're not my brother."
Tremaine snorted coldly.
Yesseca imitated Tremaine and snorted. She then said, "I've told you before that I have a brother. He's tall and handsome. He's the best man in the world. I won't mistake others like my brother."
Yesseca's expression was one of deep adoration.
"Your blood- related brother?" Tremaine's brows furrowed slightly.
"Yeah."
Tremaine's brows relaxed. "Good."
"By the way, do you think Ruth was telling the truth?" Yesseca asked again.
"Is it important?"
Yesseca was at a loss of words.
If it was not important, why ask?
Yesseca felt that Tremaine's words were strange.
"If it was fake, the fact that she made up such a detailed story means that she has something to hide. What's the point of finding it out?" Tremaine said faintly.
Yesseca was dumbstruck.
She tilted her head and tried hard to think about it.
Well, it seemed that Tremaine's words were deep but yet a little reasonable.
Yuliana saw the phone call from Madam Quartley.
She was talking to her parents before, which was why she did not notice the call.
Yuliana's heart began to beat fast immediately when she saw the missed call from Madam Quartley.
She knew that her plan had succeeded.
Zorion was already dead.
As for why he died, it would be Yesseca's fault.
But why would Yesseca want Zorion dead? Well, who would ever know why? Just as nobody knew why she was kind enough to give the medicine prescription for Zorion.
How it happened was not important. What was important was that Zorion was dead, and Yesseca had killed him.
What's more, Yuliana had already warned them that Yesseca had bad intentions, but they did not
listen to her.
Although Zorion was a fool, Yesseca had killed him. The Quartley family would never let this matter go.
Yesseca was probably going to die.
Without Zorion, Yuliana would be a widow!
She had the right to marry again!
A smile flashed across Yuliana's eyes.
There was one thing that she had never told anyone.
That was, although she had been married to Zorion for many years, she was still a virgin!
Zorion hadn't touched her at all.
That fool knew nothing about that aspect!
And she didn't like Zorion. She naturally wouldn't teach him what to do in bed!
After Zorion's death, she would tell Madam Quartley that she was still a virgin!
When the time came, she would find a way to climb onto Tremaine's bed, and then everything would be smooth sailing.
Yuliana felt that her plan was flawless.
She even wanted to thank Yesseca.
If it wasn't for Yesseca, how would she have thought of such a perfect plan?
Yuliana picked up her phone and dialed Madam Quartley's number.
She sniffed a little while waiting for the call to go through.
She had to pretend to be sorrowful after learning about Zorion's death.
The call was finally connected.
"Yuliana, why didn't you answer your phone just now?" As soon as the phone was connected, Madam Quartley immediately said.
She smiled at Zorion and said, "I missed you too, Zorion."
Zorion immediately chuckled in a silly way at Yuliana.
Madam Quartley stood up and said, "Well, since you've been reunited with each other, I won't bother the both of you. Have a good talk."
Yuliana immediately took her hand away from Zorion's hold. "I'll see you off, Grandma."
Madam Quartley gave Yuliana a meaningful look. "It's not necessary for you to send me off, Yuliana. Spend some time with Zorion."
After Madam Quartley left, Zorion took Yuliana's hand again. "Honey, let's talk."
Yuliana shook Zorion's hand away hard. She didn't look as happy as she had been when Madam Quartley was still around. "Talk? I don't have time to talk to you. Entertain yourself!"
After that, Yuliana quickly went upstairs. She had to find Ruth and ask her what had happened.
Zorion followed her and muttered, "Honey, I finally woke up after a long time. Spend some time with me. Play with me!"
Yuliana's footsteps stopped.
She looked back at Zorion.
Zorion immediately smiled stupidly at her.
Yuliana was pissed off when she saw Zorion's silly smile.
She really wanted to push Zorion down the stairs at this very moment!
But her rationality told her that she absolutely could not do that!
Yuliana took a deep breath and said softly, "I still have something to do, Zorion. Can you play alone? I'll come later."
"How long will it take?" Zorion asked.
"Half an hour."
Zorion grinned, his eyes squinting into the shape of crescent moons. "Then I'll wait for you, honey. I'll play with the blocks on my own. I'll wait for you to join me."
After that, Zorion went down cheerfully.
Looking at Zorion's back, Yuliana's eyes flashed.
Zorion's figure was tall and majestic, just like Tremaine's.
But why was he so dumb?
