Ynda had clearly had a few too many, looking all wilted and like a sorry mess. But she perked up


    when she saw Lizetta, and clenched her fists in anger.


    “That damn poser, who deceived everyone with his ‘national heartthrob‘ act, with a heart smaller than


    the tip of a needle!”


    After listening to Ynda’s rant, it took Lizetta a while to figure out what had happened.


    Turns out, after Remington had whisked her away, Cassius had given Ynda a hard time, not letting


    her leave and demandingpensation for damages,


    Ynda wasn’t one to back down, and Cassius was a spoiled brat. They came to blows, starting with


    fisticuffs and ending up at the drinking table, both getting stered. Ynda ended up injuring Cassius.


    Now, Cassius had called the cops on Ynda for property damage and assault.


    “Liz, just leave it. If Cassius thinks he’s tough, let him lock me up for life! I’ll spend the night in the cell,


    drawing circles and cursing him till sunrise.”


    Ynda was adamant about Lizetta not getting involved, but Lizetta felt both regret and guilt.


    She had gone out with Ynda that night, and it was because of her that Ynda got into it with


    Cassius. How could she just abandon Ynda?


    She contacted awyer, but things wereplicated because Cassius had provided surveince


    footage of Ynda and her crew trashing the winery, and since Ynda had also damaged his pretty


    face, which caused him to dy a photo shoot, he was hell–bent on not settling.


    He was a Sterling family scion, and the police, wary of the Sterling family’s influence and seeing that


    Ynda didn’t have a leg to stand on, refused to grant bail.


    Lizetta called Cassius, trying to apologize calmly.


    “Mr. Sterling, I’m the one who messed up your event tonight, so I’m reaching out on behalf of Yoli to


    apologize and topensate for any loss.”


    She


    e was cut off before she could finish.


    “Why are you apologizing for her? Do you even know what she did?”


    “What did she do?”


    Feeling puzzled, Lizetta sensed from Cassius‘ tone that Ynda must have done something else to


    him.


    Cassius was fuming, but couldn’t quite spit it out.


    He remembered the drinking contest with that woman, and how they’d both gotten drunk and somehow


    ended up in bed, nearly going all the way.


    Not only had she taken advantage of him, but at the crucial moment, she went berserk, kicking him off


    the bed.


    He was left dizzy from the fall, and before he could react, she pounced on him like a tigress, using


    him


    attempted assault and then beating him ck and blue.

    His first kiss and almost his first time were nearly taken; on top of that, he got thrashed.

    He had never endured such humiliation in his life!


    ing like spitting blood, Cassius said with an Icy voice, “Unless Ynda gets on her knees, offers me a


    drink, and admits her wrongs, there will be no talk of settling! Hiss!”


    Cassius winced as he pulled at the corner of his mouth, and hisposure slipped with the pain.


    With his face darkening, he just hung up.


    When Lizetta tried calling back, Cassius had already turned off his phone.


    Lizetta couldn’t possibly ask Ynda to kneel and beg for mercy that just wasn’t in her nature, not even


    if her legs were broken.


    With no other choice, Lizetta called Remington, but his phone was unreachable, too. Thinking he must


    have gone to see Evelina after she left the hotel, she hailed a taxi and headed to the Hawthorne family


    estate.


    Indeed, Remington had gone to see the Hawthornes.


    When he arrived, Evelina was still making a scene.


    With a tooth knocked out and both her face and tooth aching, how could she just let it slide?


    As Remington walked in, Evelina was sobbing in ra’s arms.


    ra, feeling sorry for her, was applying an ice pack on her face while angrily confronting Remington.


    “Remington, Eve was fine when she left the house, but Lizetta beat her up! You owe us an exnation


    today!”


    Ynda looked at Remington with tear–swollen eyes, and pleaded silently.


    Remington was unfazed, “What kind of exnation do you want?”


    ra demanded furiously, “You bring Lizetta here now, make her apologize to Eve, and let Eve p her


    back!”


    With a chill shed in Remington’s eyes, he let out a low scoff and looked do
