The soldier considered this and then decided to report this to Tremaine.
At this moment, Tremaine was more concerned with what would happen tomorrow. He didn't have tto bother
about Ruth.
He waved his hand at the soldier and said, "Just leave them be. If the old lady wants to vent her anger, let her do
it."
Tremaine was also confident that there was no point to interrupting Madam Quartley's old methods.
The soldier left right away.
Just as Tremaine was about to prepare his speech for tomorrow, he suddenly remembered what Yesseca had told
him.
He could hear Yesseca's voice clearly in his mind.
Tremaine then stopped what he was foing.
Yesseca was very concerned about the maid.
They hadn't cto a final conclusion on what happened between that maid and Zorion.
After considering this for a moment, Tremaine then walked out of the study.
Ruth's face was horribly bruised and swollen.
Madam Quartley's old servant was very eager to appease her. Without her direct order, she then yelled at Ruth,
"Kneel down before them."
Ruth's knees had turned to rubber as she knelt down in front of Madam Quartley and Yuliana.
Blood from her mouth kept spilling out onto the floor and her eyes looked dazed.
Madam Quartley then spoke with a regal tone in her voice, "You are Yuliana's servant and she has always treated
you well. Yet you dared to commit such a shameless act with her husband. You shameless wench!" Ruth didn't
respond.
She had served Yuliana for many years, so she knew her very well.
Yuliana would be thoroughly convinced by now that she had seduced Zorion. No matter what she told her,
Yuliana wouldn't believe her.
Madam Quartley on the other hand, was very softhearted and had always trusted Yuliana.

Since Yuliana said that she had seduced Zorion, Madam Quartley would believe her wholeheartedly.
So, the only thing she could do was keep quiet.
Madam Quartley grew angrier when she noticed that Ruth wasn't responding.
She lifted up one of her crutches.
Recently, Madam Quartley's health had been deteriorating. She needed crutches to walk around now. She was
going to use them as a weapon right now.
Madam Quartley brandished her cane and smacked Ruth hard with it.
"Smack!"
Ruth cried out in pain, she felt as though she had broken a bone.
Yuliana saw Ruth crying then shouted, "Madam Quartley, look! This b*tch is pretending to cry! What gall! You
weren't crying when you were seducing Zorion, you b*tch! Madam Quartley, beat her to death! Beat this
shameless b*tch to death!" Madan Quartley then withdrew her hand.
She was furious earlier, that was why she swung her crutch at Ruth. But the truth was, she wasn't the type of
person who enjoyed hitting people. That was why she stopped.
She handed her crutch to Yuliana. "Yuliana, this maid has seduced Zorion, your husband. How you deal with this
is your business, so long as you're satisfied afterwards."
Zorion was Madam Quartley's grandson and he had just slept with the maid. Even though Madam Quartley was
mortified and uncomfortable about this, she still had to help Yuliana calm down.
She couldn't allow Yuliana to hold this grudge deep inside herself, otherwise, it would forever damage her
relationship with Zorion.
Since Madam Quartley gave her permission to do so, Yuliana didn't hold back.
She took Madam Quartley's crutch and began to beat Ruth mercilessly.
Crack!
Smack!
Smash!
She delivered blow after blow after blow.
Each blow rang out louder than the one before.
Yuliana was cruel and much stronger than Madam Quartley. She hit Ruth's bones so ferociously that Ruth had
curled up into a ball.
She was in so much pain. She couldn't bear any more of it.
Ruth looked up at her with a pale face and asked despairingly, "Madam Yuliana, I've served you for so many
years. Do you even know what kind of person | am? Don't you even want to ask before you beatto death?!"
Yuliana grew even angrier when she heard Ruth say this.
Ruth was so shameless.
How dare she ask Yuliana that right in front of Madam Quartley?!
She was definitely going to kill this b*tch!
Yuliana was going to hit Ruth on the head.
She was going to smash Ruth's brains out. She'd never dare to speak to her that way again after that!
Just as Yuliana was about to hit Ruth's head with the crutch, someone stopped her by grabbing the crutch with
both arms.
Yuliana was shocked.
She turned around and noticed that it was Tremaine.
"Clunk!"
Yuliana was so shocked that she dropped the crutch.
Tremaine's face fell when he saw how pale and beaten up Ruth was on the floor.
He then said to Yuliana, "Yuliana, haven't | told you that | would be investigating this matter and that | would
then give you an explanation in two days time? What are you doing?! You're beating her to death!" Yuliana
smiled awkwardly.
She said, "Tremaine, Madam Quartley was so angry when she heard what she did to Zorion. | was just helping
her vent her anger out at this horrible maid. See, Madam Quartley even gaveher crutch to hit her with."
Tremaine snorted coldly.
Madam Quartley chimed in,
"Tremaine, don't stop Yuliana. This
maid deserves to die! She climbed

into Zorion's bed. She's such a
shameful woman and she's Yuliana's maid! She didn't just
seduce Zorion, but she's als
humiliated and betrayed Yuliana!"
Tremaine looked at Madam Quartley and said, "Madam Quartley, how do you know for sure that it was her who
climbed into Zorion's bed and not Zorion who forced himself on her?" Madam Quartley was silent.
She had been rendered speechless from Tremaine's question.
Yuliana quickly retorted, "Tremaine,
are you kidding me? I'm such a beautiful woman. With a beautiful wife like me, there's no way Zorion would
fancy a pathetic servant like her. She has shamelessly climbed into his bed!"
"Regardless of what you think, we will discuss this after we have conducted a thorough investigation." Tremaine
answered coldly, "A country runs on it's laws, as does
our family. Madam Quartley, you
should leave. I'll investigate the matter between this servant and Zorion. Before then, you are not permitted to
dish out any
punishments, otherwise, you'll be
going directly against me!"
Madam Quartley fell silent.
She was furious earlier, but now she had calmed down.
It wasn't because she believed the idea that Zorion had forced himself on the maid, it was because Tremaine was
right.
This country was governed by its laws, and this applied to their household as well.
Taking things into their own hands was wrong, this kind of punishment hadn't been acceptable in decades.
Madam Quartley then said, "Tremaine, I'll leave this to you."
She then looked at Yuliana and said, "Yuliana, let's go."
Yuliana still wasn't satisfied.
She was thinking about delivering one last blow to Ruth. If Tremaine hadn't stopped her, she would have brutally
swung the crutch and hit Ruth on the head!
