"Brother, he's so annoying! I won't ever think that he's a good person anymore!" Yesseca said while biting her lip, "I'll be going to sleep now. You told me that after a sleep, even the most depressing problems would become nothing. Please make me forget everything after waking up."
After saying that, she carried the photo into her bedroom.
She carefully tucked the photo under her pillow and then laid on top of it.
The Quartley household knew that Tremaine was in a bad mood this day.
He hadn't even come down for dinner.
When Noel went to invite Tremaine down for dinner, Tremaine had thrown the teacup from his table to the ground because Noel was talking too much.
"Thump!"
Glass shards were scattered all over the floor.
Noel was trembling in fear.
Although Tremaine had always been cold, his emotions were stable, and he'd never lost his temper. It was the first time Noel had seen him lose his temper like that.
Although smashing a teacup wasn't considered losing control for average people, it was different for Tremaine.
Noel went back to the dining hall.
Because Montez was still there, Noel thought that he shouldn't say too much.
He whispered a few words in Madam Quartley's ear.
Madam Quartley's face changed.
"Great-grandma, does my daddy not want to come down and eat?" Montez asked in his kiddy tone.
Madam Quartley's face softened. "Your father has something else to do first."
After dinner, Madam Quartley asked the servants to look after Montez.
She pulled Noel aside and asked, "Do you know why Tremaine got so mad?"
Noel shook his head and said, "I don't know. He was still fine earlier. After coming back, he seemed to be really upset."
Yuliana interrupted from beside, "Did the other side do any weird things again?"
Madam Quartley pondered for a moment. "Tremaine's style has always been perfect. The only thing people could attack him with was by saying that he doesn't like girls. Tremaine should hurry up and find a wife."
Yuliana deliberately said, "There isn't a suitable candidate, is there?"
"Yes, there is."
"Who is it?" Yuliana's heart skipped a beat.
"Montez's biological mother."
"I thought we couldn't find Montez's biological mother yet?"
"We've found her."
Yuliana's heart sank immediately.
She said dryly, "We've found her? How quick. Who's she?"
Madam Quartley said softly, "Yuliana, this matter is to be kept a secret for now. I'll have to keep an eye on this girl first, in case I made a mistake like how I did with Yesseca previously. You will know when the time comes."
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door suddenly.
The sound wasn't too loud.
Tremaine knew who it was as soon as he heard it.
He ignored it.
"Bang bang bang!"
It sounded again.
Tremaine still ignored it.
The next second, the door was pushed open.
Tremaine looked coldly at Montez, who was putting an awkward smile on his face.
Montez pointed to the door and said, "Daddy, I heard no response when I knocked. I just pushed it a little, and the door opened after a slight push."
Tremaine snorted coldly.
Montez ran to his side, "Daddy, why didn't you want to eat?"
Tremaine didn't reply.
Montez said again, "Daddy, did you not give any response because you thought that I was going to ask you to eat?"
Tremaine still didn't speak.
Montez said in a soft tone, "Daddy, you're wrong. How would I ask you to eat? You're such a strong man that you wouldn't starve to death even if you didn't eat for ten whole days. Skipping a meal doesn't matter. You can even maintain your good figure!"
