The doctor finished treating Tremaine.
His injuries was not too serious.
Plus, Tremaine was receiving the best treatment, so there wouldn't be any scarring on his face.
Before the doctor left, he was specially instructed by Sheldon to not tell anyone about the visit.
The doctor naturally understood the ramifications of disobeying.
When the doctor went out, he spotted Madam Quartley.
Just as he was about to speak, Madam Quartley gave him a look.
The doctor immediately shut up.
After all, Madam Quartley was Tremaine's grandmother. It was better that he didn't say anything. The doctor pretended he saw no one and left while Madam Quartley stuck her ear close to the door.
The conversation between Sheldon and Tremaine resounded in her ears.
"Sir, are you going back tonight?"
"I'll go back tomorrow when the injuries are completely gone. I'll ask the servants to arrange a guest room for you later."
"Yes, Sir."
"Also, if Madam Quartley asks you anything about this, tell her you don't know anything about it. You can't reveal that it was Yesseca who did it."
"Yes, I understand."
Yesseca!
Her name echoed in Madam Quartley's mind.
Madam Quartley was worked up.
She opened the door instantly. "Tremaine, you lied to me. How could that woman do that to your face? Tell me what's going on!"
Tremaine was speechless.
He frowned and realized Madam Quartley hadn't gone away as he'd expected.
But he never expected Madam Quartley to eavesdrop by the door.
"Grandma, it's time for you to rest," Tremaine said in a low voice.
"Tremaine!" Madam Quartley raised her voice, "Tell me what's going on. Did you let that woman get away with it? I've known all along that she was bad luck. Look at what happened today. She dared to injure your face. Does she even know who you are..."
Tremaine stood up.
He said indifferently, "Since you're not going to rest, then I'll go and rest. I still have to attend to business tomorrow morning, so I'll be off."
Tremaine then walked out of the room.
Madam Quartley found his actions outrageous.
Sheldon spoke just as she was about to chase after Tremaine, "Madam Quartley, he is really bogged down with work now. He does need to rest."
Madam Quartley stopped.
She looked at Sheldon and asked, "How did that woman hurt his face?"
Sheldon said nothing.
Since he was under Tremaine's instructions not to say anything about it, Sheldon naturally dared not speak a word of it. He sealed his lips tight and pretended he did not hear Madam Quartley.
Madam Quartley also knew that Sheldon wouldn't answer her question.
Sheldon was Tremaine's most loyal subordinate, and Tremaine valued him the most.
Sheldon had taken a bullet for Tremaine once on the battlefield.
Madam Quartley could only say, "Sheldon, you may not know this, but that woman is trouble for Tremaine. She is nothing but a bad woman trying to seduce Tremaine..."
Sheldon was perplexed.
That woman was trying to seduce Tremaine?
Well, that wasn't the way he saw it.
He recalled her cursing at Tremaine over the phone and throwing stones at Tremaine. How could she be seducing Tremaine?
Madam Quartley went to visit Yuliana that night.
She was unhappy as she had a lot to get out of her chest.
Yuliana had a facial mask on. When she knew Madam Quartley had come, she immediately washed her face clean and went down to greet Madam Quartley.
