Chapter 1776


    ?


    He thought about Montez''s previous phone call.


    Sheldon wanted to bring it up when Tremaine walked out of the meeting room the other day, but Tremaine had been in a bad mood because the negotiation hadn''t gone well.


    Anxious as Sheldon was, he had thrown Montez''s phone call to the back of his mind.


    Fortunately, the negotiation finally worked out on this day.


    Within a month, Tremaine finally seeded in getting everything settled.


    Both Tremaine and Sheldon and heaved a sigh of relief.


    As they got ready to head back, Sheldon recalled Montez''s phone call.


    He immediately told Tremaine.


    Tremaine frowned. "Rival in love? What kind of rival in love can a child have?"


    Sheldon felt helpless. "My thoughts exactly, but that''s what he said."


    Tremaine grimaced.


    It looked like Montez needed to be taught a lesson, talking about rivals in love at such a young age! Suddenly, Tremaine''s breath hitched.


    Wait, a rival in love?


    He remembered that Montez had mentioned on several asions that he wanted to marry Yesseca!


    Tremaine picked up his phone.


    He immediately called home and asked Noel to get Montez to answer the phone.


    After a long time, Montez''s woeful voice rang out. "Daddy."


    Tremaine''s voice was tight. "What did you mean by a rival in love?"


    Montez looked depressed. "Daddy, I''ve been dumped. Yesseca''s marrying someone else."


    The phone in Tremaine''s hand slipped and ttered to the ground.


    Although Yesseca was the one getting married, after trying on the bridesmaid gown, Preslie seemed to be even more excited than she was. Yesseca could tell that this was probably Preslie''s first time wearing something that fit her so well. It was only natural for her to be so happy. Eventually, Preslie said that they had to get some rest.


    After all, it was Yesseca''s wedding day the next day. She couldn''t get too caught up in her own excitement.


    Just as the two of themy down on the bed, Yesseca''s phone suddenly rang.


    She thought it was from Selina.


    Selina had already called her several times to remind her of important things that she needed to watch out for.


    Yesseca answered the phone without even looking at it.


    "Yesseca, you''re getting married!" A grim voice rang out over the phone.


    It sounded like it wasing straight from hell.


    Yesseca shuddered.


    She knew that it was Tremaine.


    She hung up.


    She didn''t know how Tremaine caught wind of the news that she was going to get married; perhaps it was Montez who told him. Tremaine sounded as though he was calling for an interrogation, and she did not want to speak with him.


    Soon, her phone rang again.


    Yesseca hardened her heart and rejected the call.


    It rang another time.


    Yesseca turned it off.


    The tranquility of her world was finally restored.


    However, Yesseca''s heart began to pound violently.


    Preslie looked at Yesseca strangely. "Yesseca, what''s with you? Who was that calling you? Why didn''t you pick it up?"


    Yesseca looked at Preslie with a sh of panic in her eyes.


    After a while, she suddenly got out of bed.


    She ran to the living room and moved all the desks and chairs against the door. Only after doing all this was she relieved. Preslie was even more perplexed.


    She raised her voice. "Yesseca, what''s going on?"


    Yesseca tugged on Preslie''s hand. "Come on, let''s go to sleep."


    How could she?


    Yesseca was simply too out of character.


    At first, things had been fine. They''d tried their gowns on and admired themselves in the mirror, all smiles andughter. Then, Yesseca hadpletely changed after answering a phone call.


    "Yesseca, tell me what''s going on! You''re scaring me," Preslie said.


    Yesseca bit her lip so hard that it was almost bleeding.


    After a long while, she loosened up. "Preslie, that man called me."


    "Who?"


    "The man who pointed the gun at youst time."


    Preslie''s breath hitched.


    At the same time, Tremaine boarded the ne.


    Sheldon couldn''t stop him at all.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    They''d originally nned on leaving the day after the next because they had to arrange for Nashnd''s military toe to protect Tremaine. Tremaine''s trip was fairly smooth this time.


    The leaders of the previous nations that they''d been to had been rather cooperative, eding to Tremaine''s request when they found out that he had news on their dirty secrets.


    Only thisst country that they were in had caused trouble.


    Although they''d reluctantlye to an agreement, Sheldon was worried that this leader would pull something behind Tremaine''s back. Hence, he''d immediately arranged for Nashnd''s military toe over here to protect Tremaine. They would leave Nashnd that night and arrive the day after the next. Content belongs to


    At this moment, however, Tremaine insisted on leaving on this very night. It was extremely dangerous.


    No matter how Sheldon persuaded him, Tremaine refused to listen.


    He red at Sheldon, his eyes bloodshot. "Shut your trap. One more word out of your mouth, and you''re dead meat!"


    This was Sheldon''s first time seeing Tremaine speak to him so savagely.


    He knew Tremaine all too well. There would be no stopping him, so Sheldon had no choice but to board the ne with him.


    He kept praying that nothing would happen on their way back!


    Her mind buzzing, Preslie listened to Yesseca''s story.


    A figure appeared in her mind while listening to Yesseca.


    It was that handsome yet terrifying man.


    She still couldn''t forget the scene when the man had pointed the gun at her, sending her legs buckling under her.


    At that time, she''d wondered why a man would be at Yesseca''s house. At that time, she knew that Yesseca had a handsome and rich boyfriend, so


    she suppressed her suspicions.


    However, she did not expect that...


    "Yesseca, do you still like that man?" Preslie asked Yesseca.


    They were lying on the bed, side by side.


    Nobody hade knocking on their door. Yesseca started to rx a little.


    A hint of confusion shed across Yesseca''s eyes.


    It disappeared as quickly as it hade.


    Yesseca said, "Preslie, I already have a boyfriend. I can''t possibly have feelings for another man. Anyway, I''m getting married tomorrow, to Kylin."


    "But you used to like him," said Preslie.


    A tinge of bitterness shed in Yesseca''s eyes as she spoke her mind. "I feel that in life, you''ll probablye across plenty of people that you feel attracted to, but there''s no way you can be with every


    one of them. I admit that I did have feelings for him at one point, but we had a falling out because of a misunderstanding. He didn''t do anything wrong, but once you''ve missed out on something, it''s gone forever."
