Chapter 233

    It took a long grilling before Lietta finally pieced together the whole story.


    So here’s the scoop. Right after she left the hospital, Ynda gol into n tiff with Evelina.


    Ynde called the cops atmight away, iming she was being cyberbullied and that someone was sent


    to cause a ruckus at the hospital for a shakedown,


    She even shed the smartphone that tall dude used for his livestream in front of Evelina, giving her


    the fright of her life.


    It turned out that Evelina got all antay, totally fell for Ynda’s trap


    Worried the cops might dig up dirt, she had someone try to swipe the phone back. But Ynda was on


    her toes, and the thief didn’t get the phone. Instead, Ynda ended up catching them red–handed.


    The cops showed up in the nick of time, and the phone–snatcher spilled the beans about April right


    then and there.


    Digging through the phone, the cops nabbed the livestreaming tall guy and found a money trail leading


    straight to April.


    This time, Evelina had cooked up a storm with her nned exposé and nder. There’s no way she’s


    wiggling out of this one!


    “We haven’t been able to reach Jolin and the other two. Ms. Gardenia, do you still want to press


    charges for extortion?” the cop asked


    Lizetta


    Jolin and the other two were whisked away by Remington, who also said he’d take care of things for


    Lizetta.


    Even if Lizetta wanted to im extortion against Jolin, there was no concrete evidence, and besides,


    Jolin was her own mom. At most. she’d get a p on the wrist.


    Lizetta shook her head, “No need, thanks.”


    Officer Lionel said, “Alright then. We’ll further investigate the defamation case involving Evelina and her


    agent April, and we’ll keep you posted.”


    Lizetta and Ynda exchanged a knowing look, both with a glint of triumph in their eyes.


    After all, Evelina’s never–ending shenanigans had been a pain, and getting some payback felt pretty


    damn good.


    They thanked him and were about to leave, but Officer Lionel had a word of caution for Ynda.


    “Ms. Ynda, you’ve got some moves, but next time, prioritize your safety. We don’t encourage baiting


    criminals like that. Go get that injury checked out.”


    “You’re hurt?”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Lizetta was shocked, and Ynda reluctantly showed her right hand, hidden up her sleeve.


    “Just a scrape, no biggie”


    It was indeed just a scratch, but Lizetta’s heart ached for her.


    “You better listen to the officer, okay?”


    “Sure, I will,” Ynda reassured her with a smile.


    She figured a few days in the mmer for Bitch Evelina and her shady agent was well worth the minor


    scrap


    But then a rookie cop approached and whispered something to Officer Lionel.


    Officer Lionel’s expression shifted slightly, and he frowned at Lizetta and Ynda


    Lizetta’s gut told her something was off, and sure enough, Officer Lionel said, “Preliminary questioning


    suggests April acted alone and Evelina was unaware. Plus, someone’s posted Evelina’s bail. She’s


    already been released.”


    Lizetta and Ynda’s brief moment of joy was suddenly frosted over.


    “What the heck? I’d love to see who’s so eager to bail out Evelina!”


    Fuming, Ynda dragged Lizetta swiftly out of the police station.


    They stepped out just in time to see Remington’s familiar Cullinan, with the rear window cracked open.


    The man was still in his suit from earlier, donning a ck mask, looking all stem and wless.


    Next to him sat a pale–faced Evelina.


    Lizetta stopped in her tracks. She’d thought Kevin and ra would be the ones to bail Evelina out.


    But no, it was Remington.


    “Damn! Badass Remington is totally Evelina’spdog, always there to clean up her messes, never


    falling behind! Liz, good thing you ditched that jerk and signed those divorce papers, or you’d be so


    pissed your boobs would explode!”


    Yorkide blurted out in a rape, not caring who feard in fact, she meant for the car’s upants to hear


    Remington and Evelina In the car did tum at the sound.


    Remington’s gaze fell on Lizetta, meeting her vacant staré, and his hand twitched on hisp.
