Chapter 1984

Chapter 1984

Preslie had thought the sin the beginning, Tremaine was still nowhere to be seen even after a

very long time!

Preslie said, "Miss Merlin, when will Tremaine even be back?"

Merlin did not know either.

She said, "Probably not for a while. Let's just wait. He'll cback sooner or later."

Preslie was so anxious that her eyes had turned red.

She stomped her feet and said, "Oh, Your Excellency, please chsoon, you have to."

Merlin said to Preslie, "Even if Mr. Hawls was convicted of the charges, they would need to wait for

Tremaine to be back. Don't worry. Mr. Hawls won't be in any danger for the tbeing." Preslie

understood.

Although she knew what Merlin said made sense, she was still very anxious.

Merlin comforted Preslie, but noticed that something was amiss.

She looked at Preslie carefully.

There was anxiety in her eyes.

Merlin knew that Preslie and Sheldon were close, but even if they were there wasn't a need for her

to be this anxious.

Merlin was a straightforward person who would usually say whatever she thought of.

She asked, "Looks like you're dating him, aren't you?"

After all, Sheldon was single, and so was Preslie. It was possible for both of them to fall in love.

Preslie's face suddenly blushed.

She said, "Miss Merlin, that's not true. Mr. Hawls and I, we're, how, how can we... Please stop saying

ridiculous things."

Merlin said meaningfully, "Then why are you so concerned about him?"

Preslie's ears went red. Ts because he's a good man, that's why | care so much. If you were the one

being arrested, | would also care this much about you too!"

"Is that so?" Merlin asked thoughtfully.

"Of course," Preslie said, "Miss Merlin, I'm going back to work."

After that, Preslie ran away as if she was being chased by wolves.

A flash of light appeared in Merlin's eyes when she looked at Preslie's retreating back.

Preslie had always been honest. If she said that she wasn't in love, then she really might not be in love.

However...

Even if they weren't dating, she could have started liking him.

Sheldon was a handsome, talented man. It was possible for Preslie to take a liking to him.

At 5:30 in the evening, Preslie finally got off work from the President's office.

She did not go home, but went straight to where Yesseca lived.

In a small apartment.

"Yesseca, you'd better cback with me. It's impossible living in such a small place." Preslie had said this

countless times.

However, Yesseca still refused everytime.

She couldn't stand living with Preslie.

Preslie would mention Tremaine in front of her every so often.

Yesseca was already heartbroken, and with Preslie constantly bringing up his name, Yesseca would feel more

distraught.

"I'm fine staying here. Ruth is here to help me. Before | leave Nashaland, | want to spend stwith her."

Preslie said, "Yesseca, don't say you're leaving. We'll talk about it when Tremaine gets back. He never said

anything about breaking up with you, so don't be in such a hurry." Yesseca smiled bitterly.

She said, "Preslie, don't you think I've been embarrassed enough? Do you want Tremaine to humiliatemore?"

Preslie was stunned.

Yesseca's throat was dry. "The fact that he hasn't made an appearance for so long explains everything. He's

trying to avoid me. Preslie, | don't want to embarrass myself anymore." Preslie didn't know what to say.

Yesseca continued somberly, "My

brother taughtthis when | was

young. He said although we were poor, we should still have our dignity. We shouldn't do anything shameless.

Since he doesn't wantI'll just leave. | won't be a bother to him that way."

Preslie wanted to comfort Yesseca, but she didn't know how to.

After all, Yesseca was right.

Tremaine's behavior was too obvious.

He was really avoiding Yesseca.

He just wanted to break up with her!

After thinking for a while, Preslie suddenly said, "Yesseca, it's all Qiana's fault. If she hadn't appeared, you

wouldn't have been separated from him, and your wedding would've been held smoothly." Preslie hated Qiana

very much.

It wasn't just because Qiana had ruined Yesseca's and Tremaine's marriage.

Every tshe saw Qiana, she felt insincere vibes emanating from her.

Yesseca shook her head.

She said, "She is Montez's mother after all. It's reasonable for her to cbetween Tremaine and I. After all, who

wants their own child to have a stepmother?"

Preslie couldn't help but say, "What she did was to try to break you and Tremaine apart so she could take your

place!"

Yesseca lowered her voice even further. "It's normal for her to think that way. She's Montez's mother."

Yesseca truly could understand Qiana's point of view.

Even if Tremaine was shaken by the sudden appearance of Montez's biological mother, and she could understand

him.

She was just angry that Tremaine had been avoiding her.

He didn't even bother to explain. He just dodged the issue.

It made Yesseca feel like Tremaine hadn't taken her seriously at all ever since the beginning.

Since Yesseca had already laid everything out in that way, what else could Preslie say?

She only felt pain in her heart.

Yesseca had initially been going to marry Tremaine, with she herself a happy bridesmaid, ready to

send her friend down the aisle, but everything had changed with a snap of the fingers. Tremaine

and Yesseca were over.

And Sheldon had been arrested for sunknown reason.

Preslie felt extremely miserable.

"Sir, have you made up your mind?"

Inside the dark and damp cave, Lessie's voice rang out.

"1 need more tto consider." Tremaine's attitude had changed, he wasn't as determined as

before.

How could Lessie not know why?

She knew Tremaine wanted to buy tfor his rescuers.

Lessie smiled. "Sir, are you trying to stall for time? Sorry, but we need to know your answer today."

A cold light flashed in Tremaine's black eyes.

At first, he had intended to buy more time.

He'd realized it was hopeless to rely on himself for an escape, and that he could only wait until

someone cto help.

"Lessie, you're a citizen of

Nashaland and you're Sheldon's

sister. How could you betray the

country? Don't you feel sorry

towards your brother and the

country?" Tremaine's booming voice rang out with authority and fierceness.

"Sir, there's no point in tellingthese things,Lessie said. "The independence of the border was a

lifelong Wish of someone's. Now that that person is gone, | have to fulfill it. There's no need to

bring up patriotism or my brother. All want to do is to free the border
