My Heart only Beats for You

Sheldon was about to retort at her when he saw a figure walking towards him.

Immediately, Sheldon hung up the phone in a hurry.

It was Hogan.

Hogan had been looking for Sheldon. After a while of searching, he'd found Sheldon hiding in a corner with his phone in hand.

Just as he went over, Sheldon hung up.

Hogan's first response was to criticize him, "Mr. Hawls, as Mr. Tremaine's most trusted subordinate, you're incompetent. You have let the Cabinet and Nashaland down!"

Sheldon was speechless.

He disagreed with what Hogan said.

Sheldon immediately retorted, "That's wrong, Mr. Welmert. I've always been loyal to Nashaland. How could you say that?"

Hogan harrumphed. "Loyal? Why did you let Mr. Tremaine start making plans to marry such a woman? Explain that, Mr. Hawls!"

There was a second of silence.

Sheldon was flummoxed.

There was nothing he could have done.

He had tried persuading Tremaine, but Tremaine had never listened his advice. Besides, Tremaine had used the matter of his investigation to stop Sheldon every time he brought it up. How would he dare to persuade Tremaine when he had also done something equally bad? "Mr. Tremaine has the right to pick whoever he wants to marry, Mr. Welmert," said Sheldon.

In his opinion, Hogan was making a mountain out of a molehill. As the president, didn't Tremaine have the right to choose his own wife? Even average citizens had that right.

Although Sheldon disagreed with Tremaine marrying Yesseca, he would not object to Tremaine's choice. He was not as radical as Hogan.

"Nonsense!" Hogan raged.

He glared at Sheldon. "Mr. Hawls, don't assume I don't know what you did! You'd better watch out, or else I'll gather the Cabinet, and you'll lose your job."

Sheldon's heart suddenly constricted..

His voice quivered. "What did I do?"

Hogan's gaze became sharper. "You know that woman, right? I've already found out that you and Mr. Tremaine were the ones who brought that woman to Nashaland together. Maybe you were the one who introduced that woman to Mr. Tremaine. What other reason would he have to pick a low-born woman?"

Sheldon was left speechless.

That wasn't even a crime.

The rage in Sheldon's heart was lit.

He was about to fly into a rage at Hogan when he suddenly saw a person standing in the distance.

It was Preslie.
