My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

As his subordinate, Hogan didn't have the right to say anything regarding Tremaine's family affairs. However, if Hogan spoke as a senior member of society, then his opinion held weight.

Tremaine glanced at Hogan. "Mr. Welmert, what are you trying to say?"

Hogan said, "Mr. Tremaine, you are the president of Nashaland, and filial piety is a major priority in our country. That old lady is your grandmother. You've actually made that old lady apologize to a little girl who is still wet behind the ears in front of everyone. This does not

show filial piety!"

The older people get, the more severe and direct their words are.

Hogan was a very intimidating man and had just put Tremaine on the spot.

Yuliana interrupted, "Yes, Mr. Welmert, it's just as you said! I don't believe that Tremaine would have done such a thing on his own. Maybe someone else is behind this!"

In the past, Yuliana wouldn't have dared to say such things in front of Tremaine, but now that Hogan was here, she had become much bolder.

Having heard Yuliana, Madam Quartley's resentment increased even more.

Tremaine ignored Yuliana.

He looked directly at Hogan. "Mr. Welmert, since you yourself have said that I am the president, then let's think of it this way. Did you know that in Nashaland, even if a member of high society commits a crime, they would be punished in the very same way as a commoner would?"

"Of course, I am aware."

"Good." Tremaine said coldly, "Although the lady in question is my grandmother, she still made a mistake and should therefore apologize for it. Don't you agree?"

Hogan's expression didn't change. "What mistake did she make?"

Before Tremaine answered, Madam Quartley spoke, "I just tossed her soup away. Is that such a crime?!"

After Madam Quartley was done talking, Yuliana chimed in. "That woman is so annoying. Madam Quartley doesn't like her, so she tossed the soup. Is that wrong? Doesn't Madam Quartley have the right to toss away the soup of this commoner woman?!" Hogan was quiet.

He felt a dull pain in his head. These two women...

These two... Were these two women seriously throwing themselves under the bus?

Even if he wanted to help, he didn't know what to say.

Tremaine looked down at Hogan and said, "Mr. Welmert, you heard it yourself. What more do you want to say?"

A hint of emotion flashed within Hogan's eyes.

After a moment, he said, "Mr. Tremaine, even if your grandmother is in the wrong, you shouldn't have made her apologize. You are her grandson. What do you say to that?"

Tremaine heavily emphasized every word, "Since Grandmother has made a mistake, she should apologize. Similarly, I am also in the wrong, and I will apologize as well. No one in Nashaland is above this."

After that, Tremaine took a step forward and said, "Madam Quartley, I have been very rude to you. I apologize for my behavior."

Tremaine then paused for a moment. "But in the same way, you have to apologize to Yesseca as well."

He spoke firmly and with powerful intent, leaving no room for negotiation.

Madam Quartley was stunned.

She then looked at Hogan with pleading eyes. Tremaine's sudden shift in tone left her unsure of what to do.

Hogan found the whole situation very difficult to handle.

Before, he had been able to gain an upper hand over Tremaine due to the fact that he was Madam Quartley's grandson, but now Tremaine had openly apologized to her, and done it so humbly that there was no way for them to speak against him. Even a wise and sophisticated man like Hogan could not think of a way out of this.

In the end, he only shook his head at Madam Quartley while looking at her.

His gaze conveyed that they'd lost this battle, but he would find another way to get back at Yesseca for this.

Madam Quartley was filled with grief and indignation.

In the end, she swallowed her pride and held back her rage. She then said, "I spilled your soup. I'm sorry." After that, she left.

Yuliana saw this and was about to follow Madam Quartley out when Tremaine stopped her and said, "Yuliana, you too." Tremaine said this coldly.

Yuliana pretended to be confused. "Tremaine, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

He sneered. "She's not the only one who tossed away Yesseca's soup."

Yuliana was silent.

Tremaine glared daggers at her, which made Yuliana panic.

She knew that she couldn't escape from this.

Madam Quartley had already apologized. She couldn't continue with the act anymore.

Yuliana had no other choice but to bow her head. "Yesseca, it was my fault. I'm sorry."

After that, she darted out of the room.

Yesseca heard both Madam Quartley and Yuliana apologize to her and had mixed feelings about it.

When Madam Quartley and Yuliana tossed her soup away, they had been horribly arrogant. She'd never expected to hear them apologizing to her within a blink of an eye.

After Madam Quartley and Yuliana

had left, Hogan said to Tremaine, "Mr. Tremaine, your way of rendering people speechless is impressive, but have you ever considered that you might have broken the old lady's heart?"

Tremaine replied coldly, "When Grandmother went to toss my woman's soup away, and bully her for no reason, did she even consider she might have broken mine?" Hogan held his breath.

Tremaine raised his voice again, "With this incident I'm going to let everyone know that I, Tremaine, will not tolerate anyone bullying my woman!"

This incident could have been handled quietly, but because of his anger, Tremaine was going to make this public!

Currently, everyone in the

presidential palace was against his and Yesseca's relationship. Yesseca wasn't in a very powerful position

and many people looked down onet

her for that. Thus, he had to intimidate those people by letting them know that even when his grandmother bullied her, he would definitely help her seek justice. This would mean that they would have to think twice about acting against her.

Hogan's heart trembled.

He felt that everything Tremaine had said was meant for him.

But he quickly puffed out his chest.

Even though Tremaine said all of that, he would still act as he should. He was doing this for his country and for his people. Even if Tremaine hated him, he would never regret this decision!

If he did something that made him hesitate, he would not be fit to be one of the leaders of Nashaland! He would not be suited to assist the president!

Thinking about this, Hogan looked at

Yesseca and said, "Mr. Tremaine,

since Miss Cowell is here, I might as well speak frankly. It was wrong for the old lady to pour away Yesseca's soup, but similarly, it is wrong for Yesseca to be together with you!"

Hogan's sudden statement cut straight into Tremaine and Yesseca's hearts.

Tremaine looked at Hogan murderously. Hogan wasn't scared in the least and stared right back into Tremaine's eyes.

Tremaine said to Yesseca, "You should go back to the bedroom."

Just as he said this, Hogan's voice rang out: "Sir, Miss Cowell cannot leave. The recent events were all caused by Yesseca. I don't believe she can stay out of it!"

"Hogan!" Tremaine was livid, "If you say one more word, believe it or not, I will get someone to throw you out immediately!"
