She totally fell for him when he followed the ambnce all the way to the hospital to make sure she
was okay.
Today, she brought over some homemade cupcakes to see Hogan, but happened to catch himing
out of the hospital, so she tagged along.
She didn’t expect to walk into Lizetta and Hogan on a date – just the two of them, clearly a romantic
outing.
Watching Hogan fuss over Lizetta made her green with such envy that she yearned for going over
there and scratching Lizetta’s face off.
“What the heck are you talking about!” Hogan frowned, visibly ticked off.
Shirley’s eyes welled up with tears as she turned her anger towards Lizetta.
“Lizetta, how could you be such a flirt, seducing men all over the ce? You’re dragging the Dashiell
family’s name through the mud. Ah!”
Before Shirley could finish her rant, Lizetta grabbed the coffee mug in front of her, stepped forward, and
sshed it right back at her.
Shirley’s face was streaked with coffee, and her makeup became a total mess.
Lizetta red at her coldly, “Shirley, jealousy looks so ugly on you.”
“Jealous of you? As if! Hogan just doesn’t know the kind of trash you really are, or he wouldn’t have
fallen for your act. You dared to drug my Remi at eighteen and climb into his bed, leaving him
bedridden for three days.”
Thinking of Evelina’s words about Hogan having a thing for Lizetta four years ago. even sending Helen
White to propose to the Dashiell family on his behalf, Shirley got even more furious, so much so that
she lost her cool and started to yell like a fishwife.

Although the café wasn’t crowded, everyone turned to look..
Lizetta’s face went pale as a sheet, and she pped Shirley across the face with a resounding smack.
Shirley red at Lizetta, and her expression turned even more crazed.
“Where did I go wrong? You even ended up in stitches and got hospitalized. You’re nothing but a
woman yed out! Rémi was so disgusted that he left the country for a year and never came back!”
As Shirley swung at Lizetta’s face, Lizetta grabbed her hand and, with the other hand, delivered
another p.
“Shirley, if your mouth is that filthy, you might as well keep it shut to avoid polluting the air
around us.
Lizetta was about to p her again when a familiar,rge male hand reached out and grabbed her
wrist.
A familiar, cold voice came from above Lizetta’s head, “Lizetta, what are you doing?!”
Lizetta looked up to see Remington.
He must have just walked in. The grip on her wrist was so strong that his brow furrowed with an edge
of severity.
“Remi! Lizetta’s tantly cuckolding you, and when I just asked her about it, she hit me! Look at what
she did to me, Remi!”
Seeing Remington step in, Shirley instantly saw him as her knight in shining armor; her tears fell as she
rushed to his side to sob out her tale of woe.
Remington nced at Shirley;pared to her pitiful mess, Lizetta indeed seemed like the bully.
His gaze then shifted to Hogan who stood behind Lizetta, and a shadow crossed his eyes. He thought
Lizetta was meeting him today, but she had brought another man along.
What was she trying to pull?

Was she about to formally introduce her next beau to him?
“Exin,” Remington said with a heavy voice, and turned his eyes back on Lizetta.
But his words, loaded with usation and irritation, seemed more like he was defending Shirley and
siding against Lizetta.
Thinking of the nasty things Shirley had just said, Lizetta felt like her heart had been hollowed out and
stuffed with ice, and her lips were quivering.
She forcefully shook off Remington’s grip and stepped back; then she grabbed her purse, pulled out a
bank card, and handed it over coldly.
“I have nothing to exin. Here’s the 3 million I owe the Dashiell family. Please have Mr. Dashiell check
it.”
