My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 2060

Tremaine frowned at his grandmother's words.

He spoke in a low but stern voice, "Grandma, before we find out what happened, don't make any rash judgements."

Madam Quartley raised her voice and said to Qiana, "Qiana, tell Tremaine what happened. Yesseca gave Montez a bag and cookies and that's why Montez is sick now, right?"

Qiana bit her lip. She looked like she was being put in a very difficult position.

Seeing Qiana's expression, Madam Quartley became madder.

She wondered how gullible and naive Qiana could be. Her naivety was maddening.

It just so happened that such a kind-hearted woman had met a vicious woman like Yesseca!

"Qiana, didn't you hear what I said?" Madam Quartley raised her voice again.

Qiana was a little startled.

Only then did she speak, "Mr. Tremaine, Miss Cowell came to Montez today and gave him a bag of cookies because she heard that he enjoyed it. She said that she baked the cookies. I was there and I even thanked her."

"I knew that Montez really wanted to eat the cookies so I gave him some after dinner. He then slept afterwards and woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and diarrhea."

"Qiana!" Madam Quartley was exasperated. "What else can I say to make you understand? Did you forget what happened last time? Yesseca gave Montez cookies the last time and Montez had diarrhea as well. How can you let Montez have the cookies again? Are you even looking out for your own son?"

Hearing Madam Quartley's words, Qiana almost cried.

Her eyes were red as she said, "Madam Quartley, Miss Cowell baked the cookies so I figured there wouldn't be any problem. Miss Cowell didn't just give the cookies to Montez, but also the servants. How would I know that it would make Montez sick? Maybe Montez's immune system is a little weak which is why he got sick."

Madam Quartley was infuriated by Qiana's words.

She felt that Qiana was too kind to the point that she was making a fool out of herself.

"The doctors have tested that the cookies were contaminated. How could Montez be sick because of himself?"

"I..." Qiana looked like she was about to cry.

Tremaine listened to their conversation and his eyes flashed with a light.

He looked for the butler and asked him to call up all the servants of Quartley Palace.

Soon, all the servants in Quartley Palace gathered by the living room.

Tremaine ordered the butler to question the servants if any of them ate Yesseca's cookies, and whether they experienced any discomfort after eating her cookies. All of them enjoyed Yesseca's cookies and none of them complained about experiencing any symptoms. Madam Quartley was even more infuriated knowing that Tremaine had questioned the servants.

She said, "Tremaine, do you still not understand? Yesseca baked the cookies for so many other people but only Montez is the one having problems with it. Don't you understand what's going on?"

Tremaine pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Yuliana, who was standing aside, tried not to laugh out loud.

Now that they had concrete evidence, Yesseca was going down. However...

Yuliana had some doubts as well.

Yesseca wouldn't be so foolish.

Since she gave the cookies to Montez personally and if Montez got sick eating her cookies, everyone would automatically suspect her. Yuliana doubted that Yesseca would be this foolish. Qiana seemed to have read Yuliana's mind, so she answered what Yuliana was wondering about.

She then said to Madam Quartley, "Madam Quartley, I don't think it was Miss Cowell's doing. After all, she personally gave Montez the cookies, and I was there. If something happened to Montez, everyone would naturally suspect that it would be her fault. She wouldn't be that foolish, would she?"

Madam Quartley simply said angrily, "Yes! No one else would do such a stupid thing! But Yesseca would! Because Yesseca is acting out of line thinking that she now has Tremaine's love!"

Qiana didn't know what else to say.

Tremaine suddenly looked at Qiana and asked, "Qiana, did anyone touch the cookies that Yesseca gave to Montez?"

Qiana immediately shook her head. "No. Other than me and Montez, no one else has touched it."

Tremaine frowned more deeply.

The more Madam Quartley thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to look for Yesseca in a fit of anger but Tremaine stopped her.

He said to Madam Quartley, "Grandma, I'll ask Yesseca about this. You should get some sleep."

Of course, Madam Quartley didn't agree, but Tremaine insisted. Finally, Madam Quartley had no choice but to comply. Before she left, she said harshly Fine, go and question her. You must give me an answer about this tomorrow. If not, I will handle the matter how I see fit."

After that, Madam Quartley left angrily, and Yuliana immediately followed her. Qiana hesitated for a moment and said to Tremaine, "Mr. Tremaine, I don't think this is Miss Cowell's fault. I can see that Miss Cowell likes Montez very much. She would never harm Montez."

Tremaine glanced at Qiana with an intensity in his gaze.

He had not expected that at this moment, Qiana would stand up for Yesseca.

This woman was kinder than he thought.

"Okay, I understand." Tremaine said, "You should go rest."

Qiana nodded.

She said, "You too."

After saying this, Qiana turned and left.

A smile flashed through Qiana's eyes the instant she turned around.

Tremaine returned to his bedroom.

Yesseca was still asleep.

Tremaine stared at Yesseca's sleeping face, lost in thought.

When Montez ate the biscuits made by Yesseca last time, he'd gotten diarrhea as well. He thought it was a problem with the ingredients, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.

After all, all the servants in Quartley Palace had eaten the cookies made by Yesseca, but they were all fine. Montez was the only one that got sick.

Tremaine's eyes flashed.

And only Qiana and Montez had

handled the cookies. Even if the cookies were under someone's care, Tremaine was certain that nobody in

Quartley Palace would dare to harm Montez. Qiana was out of the

question as she was Montez's mom.

Which left the only missing piece of puzzle being Yesseca.

Could it really be Yesseca's doing?

Tremaine couldn't believe it.

But the truth was right in front of them.

Finally, Tremaine thought of a possibility.

Because of Qiana's arrival, Yesseca had felt jealous. And under the jealousy, she could do anything...

Although he thought the possibility of that happening was slim.

But for now, this was the only explanation.

The more Tremaine thought about it, the more likely he thought that was the case.

Previously, Yesseca did bake a cake to punish him. Tremaine was afraid that he would be made to eat desserts again, so he came back late from work these days to avoid Yesseca's desserts...

Tremaine wondered if Yesseca had mistaken his coming back home late for him trying to distance himself from her. Maybe she thought that the reason for that was because of Qiana?
