"For the sake of Tremaine's happiness, I am willing to do anything!"
Yuliana's eyes widened upon hearing the words. She almost cried in refusal.
"Madam Quartley, please do not act on impulse. I beg you to think about it again. Do you know what you're talking about?" Yuliana asked breathlessly.
"I've already made up my mind."
If it was the past Madam Quartley, it would be impossible for Madam Quartley to stoop low and apologize to Yesseca.
But things are different now.
Eversince she witnessed Tremaine becoming lesser and lesser like himself, with the Quartley Palace being cold and quiet, Madam Quartley was forced to compromise her high and mighty personality.
Furthermore, she admit that she was at fault for misunderstanding Yesseca in the first place. Hence, she felt guilty towards Yesseca too.
Madam Quartley no longer dislike Yesseca as much as she did previously. She wanted more than anything to patch things up with Yesseca.
However, Yuliana refused. She wouldn't compromise even if Madam Quartley would.
She desperately cried, "Madam Quartley! You're the most respected lady in the land! The grandmother of the president of Nashaland! For you to put down your pride and apologize to such a low standard woman! If words got out, we will surely be the laughing stock of the crowd!"
"No one will know about this," Madam Quartley said. "Only both of us will know about this. We need to go to her," Madam Quartley paused for a moment and looked at Yuliana meaningfully. "Yuliana, when the right time comes, you should also say sorry to her. After all, you both will be sisters-in-law in the future and you cannot make it too awkward for the both of you."
Yuliana was speechless.
She was both anxious and angry.
She had gone through so much trouble to get rid of Yesseca but now she had to lower her pride and apologized to Yesseca?
How was that possible?
