Madam Quartley remembered who that name belonged to.
She asked, "Isn't she the wife of the richest man in Nashaland?"
Yuliana hadn't expected Madam Quartley to know who she was.
She stammered, "Yes."
Madam Quartley's face darkened.
However, her face softened when she looked at Yuliana.
She then advised her, "Yuliana, you shouldn't get too close with the wives of these rich people. They may appear nice and friendly, but they will most certainly use you for their own benefit."
Yuliana assumed that Madam Quartley was worrying for nothing.
Did Madam Quartley take her for a fool?
Could they even take advantage of her if they wanted to?
She was certain that Riesa was trying to curry favor with her.
But Riesa wouldn't be so bold as to take
advantage of her.
Besides, Riesa was nothing compared to her.
Yuliana quickly replied, "Grandmother, you worry too much. Riesa and I have been friends for a very long time now. We're just two women who share a lot of similar interests. That's all."
Madam Quartley still had a bad feeling about this.
Normally, she wouldn't have allowed Yuliana to go and see that woman.
But then, she considered the baby Yuliana was pregnant with and allowed her to go.
Since Yuliana was pregnant, keeping her happy was a priority.
"Alright, you may go then. But keep the details of your pregnancy private." Madam Quarltey warned.
"I know. Don't worry, grandmother."
Since Yuliana promised not to tell her and seemed to be quite level-headed, Madam Quartley gave her permission.
As soon as Yuliana left the Quartley Palace, she contacted Riesa.
