Remington’s eyes ficked over those invitations, and he gave a nod as a sort of acknowledgment.
“Anything else?”
Thinking about that divorce agreement, Remington was getting irked, not really in the mood to even
pretend to care. Noticing Evelina still standing there, he lifted his gaze and asked.
Evelina was biting her lip, looking all pitiful, “I’ve got a photo shoot for a sponsorshipter; it’s my first
one. Could youe with me, Remington?”
The gig Evelina had was for a game under the Starlight Group. Remington just so happened to have
ns to swing by there in the afternoon, so checking in on Evelina was no biggie.
He nodded, “Sure, but I’ve got another meetingter.”
Evelina’s face lit up instantly, her smile understanding and sweet, “Then I won’t keep you. Remember
to bnce work and rest, Remington. See you this afternoon”
She left, got in the car, but then she mmed her bag down on the seat in a huff.
April was waiting in the car and saw her mood, asking with concern, “Mr. Dashiell didn’t agree toe
to your solo?”
Evelina managed to suppress her anger, “He did”
Leaving the invitation meant he was going to show up April breathed a sigh of relief, “Well, that’s great
then. Why the long face?”
Lately, Evelina had been hyping up her romance with Remington online. If Remington was a no–show
at her first solo, the inte trolls would have a field day
Evelina was peeved, of course, because of Lizetta Just thinking about the charged, almost flirty vibe
between them in the car earlier made Evelina green with envy
Then she remembered Remington had asked Lizetta to order desserts for him, her mood brightened,
and she whipped out her phone:
The call connected and she yed with her hair, “Sis, I’ll have my assistant send you a list of my
favorite dessertster. If what you’re ordering isn’t on there, would you mind canceling and reordering?
You know, being pregnant makes me a bit picky with vors, you understand, right?”
Evelina finished, but there was dead silence on the other end. She pulled the phone away, checked it,
and put it back to her ear, “Hello?”
There was a soft click, clearly Lizetta hadn’t even been holding the phone to her ear.
“Done talking?” Lizetta’s voice was slow and casual

Evelina felt like she’d just hit a soft wall with all her might, her expression souring.
“Lizetta, isn’t it just basic manners to listen when someone’s talking to you?”
“Heh, maintaining some self–respect and not being the homewrecker – that’s basic integrity. Do you
really think you have the right to lecture about manners?”
Evelinaughed lightly. “Such sharp words, Sis. Being so bitter isn’t attractive to men, you know”
Lizetta couldn’t be bothered to listen to her bragging. “No need to thank me. It’s just ordering a dessert
after all. Remington gives me a pretty sweet allowance. If you have more little errands like this, feel free
to call me again. I’m hanging up now, got nothing else to say”
Evelina was speechless for a moment, and then regained herposure, “Actually, there’s something.
My solo is the day after tomorrow, and you absolutely muste, Sis.”
As if Lizetta would go. She scoffed lightly, “Sorry, but I can tolerate gossip just fine, but I have zero
tolerance for lousy bitchy lines. For the sake of my ears and mental health, I’ll pass.”
She hung up right after.
Evelina sneered, “ssless tramp!”
April was about to console her when her own phone rang.
After answering, April’s expression became serious, “Alright, I understand. Hide out of town for now. If
this blows over, I’ll throw in another 50 grand. But if you spill something you shouldn’t, don’t me me
for not being nice.”
“What happened?” Evelina frowned.
“That thing, Mr. Dashiell is on it, and Linda got taken away.”
Evelina sat up straight, and April continued.
“Also, at the hospital, Daniel was supposed to be discharged today and transferred to the detention
center, but then some guy dressed as a janitor burst into the ward and castrated Daniel,”
