Chapter 139

    Remington was giving Ynda the cold shoulder, his eyes practically freezing over with theck of


    warmth in his gaze.


    Lizetta, scared he might do something to Ynda, quickly stepped in to shield her.


    Remington scoffed coldly and barked an order, “Take her away!”


    Immediately, a few bodyguards stepped up and started dragging Ynda away.


    “Ynda!” Lizetta, worried sick, tried to intervene but found herself caught by the man’s iron grip


    around her


    slim waist.


    He yanked open the car door, and before she knew it, Lizetta was tossed into the vehicle.


    “Badass Remington! The one trash–talking you is me, soe at me! Liz!”


    Ynda was freaking out, scrapping with the bodyguards. But before she could break free,


    Remington’s car was already speeding off with Lizetta.


    Inside the car.


    Lizetta climbed up from the back seat, fixing her hair, surprisingly unfazed. She knew deep down that


    Remington wouldn’t hurt her- that trust was etched into her very bones since childhood.


    It was like it was coded into her DNA, impossible to rewrite.


    “Where are we headed? I want to get


    out.”


    Remington chuckled, “Weren’t you the one running your mouth about how I made you a widow, how


    I’m not a real man? Let’s find a ce and shoot a video to hash this out, give me a chance to clear the


    air.”


    Lizetta was speechless.


    She thought Remington was just spouting hot air, but then he actually told the driver, “Head to the


    nearest


    hotel.”


    Lizetta started to panic, “It wasn’t me spreading that; it was just Ynda blowing off steam because you


    snatched what was mine and gave it to Evelina. If you’re really ticked off, isn’t an apology enough?”


    Remington shot a re at her anxious face, the anger inside him raging hotter. Was she that scared of


    him touching her?


    She was all defiance and backbone just a moment ago, but the moment he mentioned a hotel, she was


    quick to say sorry.


    He lifted her chin with his hand, “Snatched away? Ha, everything in Skyward Studios is mine to give. If


    I want to give Evelina the chance, I will. What’s it to you?”


    Lizetta bit her lip, seething and resenting the situation. If she couldn’tnd this deal, she’d be 300 grand


    short of the 3 million she needed. She swallowed her pride and tried to reason with him.

    “But you know my dance skills well; Evelina can barely move to the rhythm. Mr. Dashiell, you’re not


    known for ying favorites or blurring the lines between business and personal. Otherwise, the


    Starlight Group wouldn’t be thriving. You’ve always been about fairness, valuing talent.”


    “Are you talking about me? In your eyes, aren’t I Badass Remington, with a rotten heart? You’re really


    buttering me up to get this job.”


    Remington’s brows arched sharply, his tone dripping with sarcasm. But Lizetta wasn’t just ttering


    him; she had been running errands in the president’s office of the Starlight Group for ages.


    Remington’s work ethic and principles were beyond reproach, he was a leader who never noted on a


    whim Yet she never expected that these principles would be worthless when Evelina came into


    the picture.


    For Evelina, he would even kick Lizette to the curb without a second thought. Her heart felt like it was


    being aliced open, yet Lizette still looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping for fairness, for him to


    change his mind.


    “I can guarantee my dance will be worth every penny, adding sparkle to the garne if you don’t believe


    me, let mepete with Evelina and see the final results”


    “No need. I’ve made up my mind. The opportunity is Evelina’s, and even if she’s not up to it, it wont be


    yours. Add sparkle to the game? You’re just a dancer, Lizetta; you’re not so irreceablet”


    He cut her off, his icy words filled with dental, disdain, and contempt for her. Lizetta fett a heaviness in


    her chest like a boulder was sitting on it. She didn’t want to exchange another word with him


    “Stop the carl I want to get out!”
