My Heart only Beats for You

Tremaine had been shielding Yesseca ever since he found out that Madam Quartley and Yuliana were causing

trouble for her. He even made Madam Quartley apologize in front of a crowd of servants, and she was still mad

about it. Yuliana hated how Treamine doted on Yesseca.

Now, a powerful opponent had finally appeared.

Navidia.

Navidia was the woman everyone in Nashaland was hoping for Tremaine to marry.

And now the president of Megeland was coming to visit himself.

Even if Tremaine was stubborn, he couldn't offend the President of Megeland in public.

Yuliana knew that although Tremaine was eccentric, he knew what he could and could not do. He knew where all

the lines were, and this was why he had been able to becthe president of Nashaland.

Yuliana had a strong feeling that Yesseca would get dumped.

And she was looking forward to it. Finally, she could vent her anger.

After sensing Yesseca's gaze, Yuliana knew that Yesseca must have heard what she said.

But Yesseca did nothing.

Yuliana was delighted.

She felt that Yesseca knew she had no choice left, hence her silence.

Yuliana becmore and more complacent. Almost as she was shouting, she said, "How could a mere servant

think of marrying the president? She must be dreaming. Only a princess is fitting for a president. | guess

someone is about to be thrown away soon." "So what if that person is to his liking now? She should take a good

look in the mirror. | have never seen such an ignorant woman."

After that, Yuliana turned to say to Ruth, "Ruth, you can't make the smistake, okay? Lowborn people will

forever be lowborn and have to serve the upper class. Don't ever dream of changing your destiny. Understand?"

Ruth did not speak.

She shut her mouth tight, and her eyelashes fluttered violently.

It was not like she had no feelings nor pride.

Yuliana's words were like a whip lashing her heart, which made her painful and sad.

However, she dared not make a sound.

She had always been a maid since she was a child.

She had been instilled with such thoughts since she was young.

Who she served was her God, and she couldn't defy her.

Yesseca couldn't hold back anymore.

She strode over.

She walked up to Yuliana and stopped.

She said sharply, "Yuliana, how can you go so far? Ruth has been with you since forever. How could you degrade

her with your words? She serves you now, but it is because she gets paid for doing so. How could you say that to

her?!" She could have endured it if Yuliana was only talking about her.

After all, they were in Quartley Palace.

Tremaine was the president, and her every move was monitored. She didn't want to cause any trouble for

Tremaine.

But how could she not be bothered seeing Yuliana scolding Ruth?

Yesseca couldn't endure it.

She could suffer alone, but she would not allow others to be dragged into the mud with her.

Yesseca scolded, "I thought you had an opinion about me. | finally realized how wrong | was. It seems like you

have an opinion for everyone. You disgust me, you devil. Do you even have a heart?!"

A look of disbelief flashed across Ruth's eyes.

She knew that Yesseca was a kind woman.

But she never thought that Yesseca would publicly criticize Yuliana for her.

When Yuliana spoke ill about Yesseca, Yesseca did not even speak.

Ruth thought that Yesseca did not dare to offend Yuliana.

But now, for her sake, Yesseca actually stood up to her.

Ruth was shocked.

On the other side, Yuliana was furious.

She wanted to call Yesseca a b*tch, but she swallowed it back before she could say it out loud.

She knew that she would suffer if Tremaine found out about this since he had yet to marry Navidia nor dumped

Yesseca.

With that, Yuliana held back her anger.

She sneered and said to Ruth, "Did you see that? Look how arrogant she is right now. Let's see her cry when the

tcomes." After that, she went away.

However, Ruth did not leave.

She knew she would enrage Yuliana if she did not catch up.

But she still didn't leave.

It was because she wanted to thank Yesseca.

Before she could finish her

sentence Yesseca said, "Why did she say that to you? Why didn't you refute but endure it instead? Did you not

know she was insulting you?"

en

Ruth was stunned.

After a moment, bitterness overcher. "Miss Cowell, | know what you mean, but not everyone can live as

freely as you do." This time, it was Yesseca who was stunned.

Ruth continued, "Miss Cowell, you have His Excellency protecting you, but | have no one. If | offended her, she

would punishheavily. | know you would think | don't care about pride. But how many people can live a life

with no humiliation and grievances?"

She knew that she should stop here.

But she still went on.

Yesseca's words just now had touched her heartstrings. She couldn't help but say, "Miss Cowell even a cleaner

has to continue their

work, and it does not matter their

ather. Even if they did not want to do so, they had to do it for a living."

"Just like clowns. They are willingly making a fool of themselves to bring happiness to others. They might not

want it, but they have to, just to survive." Ruth stopped.

She murmured, "Miss Cowell, | shouldn't have told you this. | don't think you would understand anyway."

Yesseca looked at her.

She said, "I heard you. | understand what you mean."

Ruth paused.

Yesseca choked with sobs, "I was sick, and my family was poor. My brother had to work to raise me. He must

have suffered a lot for me, but he wore a smile every day." Ruth's words had reminded her of Lothar.

Just then, her eyes reddened.

She said to Ruth, "I shouldn't have said that just now. | know you have your reasons."

Thinking of Lothar, Yesseca suddenly understood why Ruth was holding back.

Ruth was stunned.

She thought that her words would mean nothing.

How could Yesseca, who had the love of the man controlling Nashaland, understand her reasons?

However, it turned out that she was wrong.

For a moment, Ruth felt a swarm of emotions.

After a moment, she nodded at Yesseca and said, "Miss Cowell, thank you. Thank you for speaking up forjust

now. Thank you very much."
