She just couldn't really recall where at the moment.
But it doesn't matter. She would take note of this person in the future.
Qiana inquired into Ruth's character from the other servants in the palace. Soon, she had a rough idea as to what kind of person Ruth was.
As a matter of fact, Ruth had been quite popular in the Quartley Palace.
The rest of the servants felt that Ruth's departure was unfair, that Yuliana had been deliberately bullying her.
However, servants were still servants after all.
The words of the lowly carried little weight. Whatever anger they had could only be suppressed in their stomachs, unable to be expressed.
After she got a rough gist of the situation, Qiana came up with an idea.
If Ruth had had an affair with Zorion, and she had been driven out of the Quartley Palace by Yuliana.
Then was it possible for 'Ruth' to accidentally kill Yuliana in a fit of rage?
A vicious smile appeared across her lips.
Yes, very likely.
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
On that day, Tremaine finally came back.
Madam Quartley had already sent someone to keep watch over the entrance. As soon as Tremaine returned, the servant informed her immediately.
Madam Quartley came out with her cane.
She chastised him, "Tremaine, it's been so long, and I have not even urged you. It's time for you to give your answer to Qiana."
"Mm." Tremaine replied in a low voice, "I'll speak to her alone."
Madam Quartley didn't understand what he meant, hence she especially reminded him, "You've ruined the girl's innocence, this isn't something you can dismiss. Most importantly, she is Montez's biological mother. Tremaine, you have to keep this in mind."
Tremaine pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
It was because she was Montez's biological mother that he had made his decision.
Although he had separated from Yesseca, that woman had left an indelible mark in his heart. In this life, he was afraid that he would never fall in love with another woman again.
Neither would it be possible for any other woman to take her place in his heart.
Qiana was no exception.
He was drunk and had slept with Qiana, but he harbored no feelings at all for this woman.
But as the leader with the highest authority in the country, it was impossible for him not to get married for the rest of his life.
This could not be explained away to the outside world. It might even become a reason for someone with ulterior motives to attack him.
Besides, Montez really needed a legitimate mother.
Tremaine went to see Qiana.
Qiana's eyelashes flickered as she lowered her head, a picture of being shy and scared.
Tremaine handed over a contract.
His tone was indifferent and emotionless when he spoke, "If there are no problems with it, just sign it."
Qiana was stunned.
After a while, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Tremaine, I don't want anything. That night, you, you didn't do it on purpose. I don't need any compensation. I don't want anything. I..."
"I'll give you the title of Mrs. Quartley." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Tremaine.
Qiana's eyes widened.
She thought that this contract was to provide her with riches and a villa as compensation, but it turned out Tremaine was willing to give it to her...
Her hair rose on end.
"But we won't get it done via marriage certificate," Tremaine continued.
