"Yes, I also believed Yuliana wasn't such a person." Tremaine said, "She was just confused, and she didn't know what was she talking about, that's why I wanted to send her to the hospital to get treatment!"
"No, how could you send your sister-in-law to the mental hospital?" Madam Quartley immediately objected, "If you sent her to the hospital, what would happen to your brother? Tremaine, I will not allow you to do that!"
"Zorion needs a normal person to take care of him!" Tremaine said loudly, "He doesn't need a person whose mind is confused to help him!"
"How is Yuliana confused? She's very clearheaded!" Madam Quartley retorted.
Tremaine glanced at Yuliana and said, "Grandma, you should ask her right now whether or not her mind is clear, then."
Yuliana was speechless.
What should she say?
If she was clear-headed, then it was inevitable for her to admit that she'd done it on purpose.
If she said she wasn't, Tremaine might really take her to the mental hospital!
Yuliana could believe that Tremaine would actually send her to a mental hospital! In that environment, she would get sick even if she wasn't actually mentally ill!
Yuliana cried out, "Madam Quartley, it was because something happened to Tremaine previously. I was so anxious that I was confused for a moment, and I don't remember what I did or said back then. Now that Tremaine is found, I am very conscious now!"
There was a brief silence in the room.
Madam Quartley and Tremaine argued for almost ten minutes, but Tremaine never gave in.
He insisted on bringing Yuliana to the hospital.
This was the first time that Madam Quartley had seen Tremaine being so ruthless. She could only give in temporarily and say, "Tremaine, Yuliana is Zorion's wife after all. If you want to take her to the hospital, you'd have to ask Zorion first."
After that, Madam Quartley left with Yuliana.
When they had turned a corner, Madam Quartley questioned Yuliana seriously, "Yuliana, tell me the truth, did you do something that caused a misunderstanding between them both?"
Madam Quartley had started having suspicions after witnessing Tremaine's firm attitude earlier.
Madam Quartley knew Tremaine wouldn't do that if he had no evidence.
He would not be so determined to send Yuliana to the hospital if that were the case, he'd even used Yuliana being out of her mind as an excuse.
The implications were quite obvious.
If she really got admitted to a hospital, Yuliana would be diagnosed as a "psycho". Would she even be able to leave?
And even she was discharged, she would probably never be able to go back to Quartley Palace anymore.
Madam Quartley was well aware of what her grandson was trying to do.
Tremaine was obviously going to deal with Yuliana, but Yuliana was Zorion's wife. If he wanted to deal with her, he had to find a good excuse to do so.
Madam Quartley knew that although Tremaine was cold, he was not a bad person. He would not use such means just to trick his own sister-in-law.
Unless, Yuliana had crossed Tremaine's bottom line.
Yuliana still wanted to refute the accusations. She said, "Madam Quartley, I was really worried because of Tremaine that day. I might've misheard or said something by mistake. Of course it might be Yesseca, that woman who was playing some tricks!"
"Didn't her brother come by earlier? When Yesseca heard about Qiana's pregnancy, she'd immediately sent him over here. She was afraid that Tremaine would really abandon her! But how could she explain what happened in between? Yesseca was trying to slander me, yet Tremaine was on her side. I'm in such a difficult position!"
Although Madam Quartley was old and she wasn't in peak condition, it wasn't like she was a fool.
She noticed that Yuliana seemed to have a guilty conscience.
