Chapter 1698
Matthew lowered his voice and said, "Yesseca, I will come to see you tomorrow and explain the whole thing to you." After that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Right then, Selina had come up to him and asked, "Who were you talking on the phone with?"
"It's about work." After saying that, he changed the subject. "Weren't you already asleep? Why are you awake?"
She sighed, "I was thinking about Yesseca. Matthew, why would she ask me about Lothar's death twice? Do you think that Yesseca was suspicious of something?"
"Don't think too much. Go to bed. Now is not the time to talk about this." After saying that, he directly held her in his arms.
She did not know what to say.
She hit him with her hands, saying, "Why are you holding me?"
Just then, he carried her to their bed, saying, "I'm going to hug you to sleep. Let's not think about it now and get some rest." She was helpless.
She closed her eyes. "Okay. Let's go to sleep."
After Matthew hung up the phone, Yesseca fell to the ground.
She was motionless like a statue, and she didn't even blink her eyes.
Half an hour later, she got up from the ground.
She took out Lothar's photo.
She stared at him, who was in the photo. "Lothar, so it was Selina who killed you! It was true."
After saying that, she burst into tears.
The sadness and grief overcame her body. It was like she was going to tear into half.
She was in such pain because Lothar was truly killed by someone, and even more so by Selina, whom she'd regarded as her sister.
Yesseca could not sleep the entire night.
At six o'clock in the morning, she was ready to leave.
She was going to find someone.
Before leaving home, she left her phone at home. She knew there would be people looking for her. Kylin and Matthew were going to call her, but she didn't want to answer any of them. Just when she put down her phone, it suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She answered the phone.
Tremaine's voice came from the other side of the phone. "Dummy."
She was calm as ever.
She used to think that Tremaine was disgusting because he did something out of line.
But suddenly, what he did seem like nothing compared with what Selina and Matthew had done.
Therefore, after receiving Tremaine's call, she was able to remain calm.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Why did you return to Agaphen City that day? Didn't I ask you to wait for me?" he questioned. "I'm hanging up."
He was speechless when he heard that.
His voice turned cold. "Your period should be over. Why are you acting strange still?"
"Well, I was born like this." she suddenly said, "Maybe you're right, and I am strange. Not only am
I strange, but I'm also going out of my mind."
Once again, he was rendered speechless.
He snorted, "Congratulations on gaining the ability to admit it."
He wanted to tease her, but she took it to heart as she said, "I know, right? I had been stupid before."
She sounded like she was choking with sobs.
Just then, he noticed something off.
He immediately raised his voice. "Yesseca, what's wrong?"
She sniffed and replied, "Nothing much. It's just that I realized how foolish I was for thinking bad people were nice people, even treating them as my relatives."
Tremaine, who was at the other end of the phone call, frowned and said, "What do you mean? Which bad people have you mistaken as good? Did someone bully you?" Yesseca didn't say anything.
He continued, "When I'm done with my business in Nashaland, I'll go back to Agaphen City. I'll help you get rid of those bullies."
She said softly, "It's alright. There's no need for that. I'm hanging up. Goodbye."
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
He called again, but he couldn't get through.
After Yesseca left home, she headed east of the city.
There was almost no one else on the streets at six o'clock in the morning. She only saw a taxi after an hour of walking. She hailed the taxi.
When she told the driver where she
wanted to go, the driver's eyes flashed with surprise. "Miss, that place is at the mountaintop. There is no one there. It would be dangerous for you."
"Just drive me there," whispered Yesseca.
The taxi driver looked at her and thought for a moment before saying nothing.
He had said what he had to say. It was his duty to send his passengers where they wanted to go.
About half an hour later, the driver pulled over.
He still kindly advised, "It's dangerous for you to stay here. You'd better find a companion."
Yesseca didn't say anything.
She paid the driver and got out of the car.
There was a mountain in front of her. It was not too tall, and one could vaguely see the mist lingering over it.
She remembered what Essie had told her.
Essie said that if she wanted to see
her, she should come to this
mountain to find her. There was a
wooden cabin on the top of the
mountain, and she was in this
wooden cabin.
With that, she started climbing up the mountain.
The mountain road was not rugged, but there was no one in sight, just as the taxi driver said.
She should have been afraid to climb such a mountain alone, but she did not feel a sense of fear All
she felt was the chill surrounding her.
Her body was cold, and her heart was cold.
Two hours later, Yesseca reached the peak of the mountain.
It was a long journey up the mountain, but she wasn't out of breath at all. However, she was still cold.
At the top of the mountain, she saw a shabby wooden cabin.
She walked into the wooden cabin.
The interior was very simple. There were old kitchen utensils and wooden beds, but Essie was nowhere to be seen.
"Yesseca." Suddenly, a female voice sounded.
Yesseca turned around.
She saw Essie.
A strange smile appeared on Essie's lips.
"Yesseca, I knew you would come to find me." Tremaine was furious.
Because Yesseca had hung up the phone.
When he called again, no one answered.
He sent a text message.
"Dummy, if you don't answer my call, I'll kill you when I get back."
After he sent the message, he dialed her number again. However, still, no one answered.
He wanted to rush to Agaphen City to find her and teach her a good lesson.
But Sheldon came looking for him just then.
He handed over a lot of documents to Tremaine.
"Your Excellency, this road in Nashaland needs fixing."
"Your Excellency, a large number of people are complaining about the heavy taxes, and they wish for a lower tax plan."
"Your Excellency, this is..."
Tremaine suppressed his desire to teach Yesseca a good lesson by immediately returning to Agaphen City.
He was too busy at the moment.
He took the documents and glanced at them, asking, "Have you found anything about the traitor?" Sheldon was stunned.
If Tremaine had been watching Sheldon, he would have noticed the strange look on Sheldon's face.
