Yesseca said to Sheldon, "Mr. Hawls, wait here. I'll go up and ask her."
After all, Sheldon was a man, so it was not a good idea for him to go into a girl's room.
He nodded.
Yesseca went upstairs.
Fortunately, she still remembered the floor where Preslie lived. After a while, Yesseca knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened.
Amelia appeared in front of Yesseca.
Looking at Yesseca, Amelia felt a wave of familiarity.
She took a closer look and recognized Yesseca's face.
This woman was Preslie's friend. She was the one who'd held the wedding where Preslie had been a bridesmaid.
Although the wedding had been ruined, it had been the type of event which only the rich would have been able
to plan, therefore Amelia was polite towards Yesseca.
She said, "Are you looking for Preslie? She's not here. She's been taken away."
Yesseca was surprised. "Taken away?"
"Yeah," Amelia said. "It's been a long time. A man in a military uniform cto our door to look for Preslie. He
seemed to be from Nashaland. He brought stroops with him. Preslie must've done something wrong in
Nashaland and gotten caught for it but | don't know what she did. Why was she so stupid?"
Yesseca was speechless.
Although she didn't understand what it was all about, she figured that Amelia must have misunderstood
something.
She was about to explain to Amelia when she noticed the gloating look on Amelia's face.
Yesseca immediately felt unhappy.
No matter how terrible their relationship was, how could Amelia be so elated when she thought Preslie had been
arrested?
Was she not worried about Preslie at all?
Yesseca couldn't help but say, "Well, she's your sister. Don't you care about her now that she's gone?"

The corners of Amelia's lips twitched. "Pfft. Who cares about that fat girl?"
Just then, a voice cover. "Amelia, who's here?"
Her mother popped her head out.
Amelia immediately said, "Mom, Preslie's friend's looking for her."
Celine's voice becshrill. "Looking for Preslie? What are they doing here? Go to the jail in Nashaland and find
her instead. Now, Preslie has nothing to do with us at all!"
After a pause, Celine added, "The next tsomeone comes to see Preslie, tell them that we don't know her at
all. She's a total embarrassment!"
After hearing Celine say that Preslie was an embarassment, Yesseca was so angry that her blood boiled.
That was probably because she had had a good relationship with her mother and brother since she was young.
Yesseca couldn't stand a family being so mean-spirited and cold-blooded to their own.
Yesseca couldn't resist raising her voice. "Madam Celine, what are you talking about? How is Preslie an
embarrassment?!"
Celine said icily, "Why not?! She grew up fat. Then, she started selling clothes in a mall without even going to
college. Not long ago, she was bragging about working at the president's office in Nashaland, but now she has
been arrested by the military of the country itself. Wouldn't you be ashamed of that?"
Yesseca was both furious and amused by Celine's words.
She said, "She wasn't bragging! She now works at the president's office in Nashaland!"
Celine snorted. "That's what Preslie told you, right? Do you believe her? Who does she think she is? How can an
uneducated girl who only sells clothes work in the president's office? If | were her, I'd say I've becthe
president's wife!" Yesseca didn't reply.
She took a deep breath.
It was more important to find Preslie now.
She shouldn't be quarrelling here.
Before leaving, Yesseca took a deep look at Celine. "Madam Celine, you'll regret your words one day."
Yesseca had never been a vengeful person.
She did not care about being misunderstood.
But now that her good friend Preslie was being misunderstood, Yesseca was really bothered.
She thought that after finding Preslie, she must let the Fernandez family have a good look at Preslie's current job
at the president's office!
Preslie would have the last laugh!
As soon as Yesseca went downstairs, she bumped into Sheldon.
Sheldon was already prepared to go after Yesseca.
When he saw Yesseca, he immediately said, "Miss Cowell, we found Preslie!"
"Found?" Yesseca's eyes lit up. "Where is she?"
"She's on the streets of Nashaland!"
Sheldon rushed back to Nashaland with Yesseca.
Based on his men's reports, Preslie had been sighted by a row of shops in Nashaland, as if she was waiting for
someone.
At first, Sheldon was still confused
about why Preslie would go there,
but when he arrived at the streets and saw Preslie looking around with
wnyelm
Set
the Hermes bag, a lightbulb suddenly appeared on Sheldon's head.
He remembered.
He had told Preslie on the previous day that he had picked up the Hermes bag here!
Sure enough, Sheldon ccloser and saw Prestie with a white placard in front of her, containing the following
words written in black, "Who lost their Hermes bag here last night? Please letknow the purchase tand
price of the bag and it'll be returned immediately!"
Sheldon was at a loss for words.

He had never expected that Preslie, who was very committed to her job, to ask for leave over this!
Besides him, Yesseca looked around and felt both helpless and amused.
She couldn't help but say, "Preslie, what are you doing?"
As soon as Yesseca spoke, Preslie finally noticed her and Sheldon.
She was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Yesseca said helplessly, "We were looking for you. It was not easy forand Sheldon to find you. Preslie, what
are you doing? You took a day off for this and even left your phone in your office."
Preslie was silent.
She touched her pocket and found that her phone was indeed not in her pocket.
Preslie felt embarrassed at once.
She looked at Yesseca guiltily. "I'm sorry, Yesseca, I've made you worry about me."
After that, she looked at Sheldon again, and her guilty face was inexplicably flushed as well. "Mr. Hawls, | made
you worry too."
"Preslie, what are you doing on the streets? What's going on with the Hermes bag?" Yesseca asked.
Preslie told the whole story to Yesseca.
Yesseca had no words for it.
She didn't expect such a thing to happen!
That speople would even lose the Hermes bag they had just bought!
Yesseca couldn't help but ask Sheldon, "Mr. Hawls, is this really the case?"
Sheldon had no idea what to say.
He was very embarrassed too.
In fact, he was in a sticky situation right now.
He couldn't say it wasn't the case.
Sheldon could only utter an awkward grunt and said, "I think someone could've thrown it away. After all, there
are many rich people in Nashaland."
