Chapter 2358
"Bang!"
Tremaine threw the pen on the desk at Sheldon.
The head of the pen glided down Sheldon's right cheek, leaving a wound dripping with blood.
It was shocking.
Sheldon stood there, motionless.
His eyes were glistening with tears in them as he said, "I have been with you since I was 18 and I have never gone against you or made any decisions on your behalf."
"This is the first time that I accepted an invitation without your permission. I know it will make you furious, but I am not afraid, even if you kill me."
"I know that if I made the promise to another president, there is no turning back. I did it for Nashaland, so you have to bring your wife to Agaphen City to show that you have cut your off relationship with Miss Cowell!"
"I know that you may not have such determination, so I decided to help you. I'll do anything for Nashaland."
"If you can't calm down, my life would be in your hands. You can do anything you want to punish
me."
After that, Sheldon closed his eyes and put on a brave face.
Tremaine was so angry that he could hardly breathe.
At this moment, he wanted to sentence Sheldon to his death.
No one had ever dared to make any decision for him.
Sheldon was the first one.
But when he was about to pull out his gun, the past flashed through his mind again.
Sheldon had been with him since he was 18.
After so many years, they had been through many things together, bullet and all.
They had been fired at by their enemies and Sheldon would always stand in front of him to protect him.
Tremaine shot a glance at Sheldon fiercely for a second, then strode out.
When he passed by Sheldon, he did not stop and went out directly.
"Bang!"
He shut the door behind him.
And he left.
Sheldon opened his eyes.
He had been dripping in cold sweat this whole time.
Later, Sheldon went to see Hogan.
He told Hogan about it.
Hearing his words, Hogan was surprised. "That's so reckless of you, Mr. Hawls! How could you not get the president's consent? It concerns the friendship between two countries and is not a small matter. He has to go now."
Sheldon gave a wry smile and said, "I
know. That's why I took it upon myself to accept the invitation. I know he can't go back on his word and that he knows the seriousness of the matter. He will bring his wife there and act like they are in a loving relationship while celebrating with the people of Agaphen City."
"The Lantern Festival is an important festival for Agaphen City. Yesseca will be there on the streets and she will see them and give up."
Speaking of this, Sheldon paused
and said in a sarcastic tone, "Well, that said, she has no heart anyways. She must have long had no feelings for the president, or she would have come to see him while he was unconscious." "My main purpose is for the president to give up. If he shows up with his wife in front of Yesseca, it means that they will never be together."
Hogan did not expect Sheldon to have made such careful considerations.
He looked at Sheldon with admiration. "Sheldon, you're really considerate of Nashaland and the president. It's rare to see a man with your guts. If it weren't for the tight bond between you and him, he could have sent you to court for judgment." Sheldon gave a wry smile.
He said faintly, "Mr. Welmert, I knew he would not hold it against me for our relationship."
Hogan was speechless.
He said, "What if you lose the bet?"
"I won't lose," Sheldon said firmly, "I've been with him for many years and know him well. Although he looks cold and murderous, he is actually a person who cares about friendship very much."
Otherwise, Tremaine wouldn't have been so obsessed with Yesseca.
"There would always be a what if and you should know that," said Hogan.
There was a strange emotion flashing in Sheldon's eyes. "If that happens, I don't think my bravery would go to waste either since I did it for Nashaland." Hogan's eyes lit up.
He patted Sheldon's shoulder and said, "It makes sense that the presidents trust you so much!"
The day of the Lantern Festival was getting closer.
A lot of people in Agaphen City were discussing the upcoming festival. Even Yesseca and Preslie were preparing to launch a lantern-shaped dessert.
On this day, Preslie told Yesseca something.
She said that the president would celebrate the festival with the people.
Hearing the words 'President', Yesseca was started.
Preslie immediately added, "Our president."
"I see," Yesseca said in a low voice.
Seeing that Yesseca's mood was
somewhat low, Preslie then pretended to be mysterious and said, "During the Lantern Festival this time around, people say that
besides the president, there
also be a pair of mysterious people coming. No one knows who they are, and we'll only find out on that day itself."
Seeing that Yesseca wasn't curious, she continued, "I think it's the celebrity couple that's been gaining popularity recently. The Lantern Festival is a lover's festival, so they must have invited a couple."
Yesseca still did not speak.
Preslie went silent.
She came up and said, "You will go on the street at the Lantern Festival, won't you?"
