Chapter 298

    Lizetta felt a pit in her stomach, knowing all too well.


    In Zion City, if Remington wanted to keep someone down, that person wouldn’t stand a snowball’s


    chance in hell.


    Seeing Lizetta downcast and silent, clearly distressed, Evelina felt a surge of satisfaction and added.


    “Liz, the beef between us grown–ups shouldn’t drag the kids into this mess. Our babies will get along


    just fine once they’re born. Don’t you want your little one to have an older bro to hang out with?”


    Lizetta lifted her gaze and gave a cold, half–hearted smirk.


    “Cut the crap, will you? You’re the one gluing yourself to me, calling me ‘sister‘ and now you want your


    kid to take after their mom and be shameless. Did you even bother to ask if they’re keen on picking up


    your acting skills?”


    Evelina’s nails dug into her palm, but she managed a smile on her face.


    “Why don’t you go home and ask Remington if he’d like the bun in your oven to call my kid elder


    brother?”


    Evelina said this with confidence, her tone unwavering


    She tilted up her chin, a triumphant and provocative glint in her eyes.


    Lize was sick and tired of having a sister like Evelina.


    The thought of her own baby calling Evelina’s kid ‘brother‘ made her frown in disgust.


    What’s the deal with Evelina’s kid?


    Could they be a chip off the old block from the Dashiell family?


    Aside from Remington, there’s no way it’s Lucian’s.


    Zachary, the eldest son, and Zebulon, the second, were both Remington’s uncle’s boys, settled down


    with kids of their own.


    And Steven, the fourth son and Shirley’s bro, well, he and Remington weren’t exactly tight.


    If the kid belonged to any of them, it wouldn’t make sense for Remington to meddle or go through the


    trouble of keeping it hush–hush.


    Just then, the elevator doors slid open.


    Lizetta didn’t mull it over any longer, she couldn’t wait to get away from Evelina and stepped out of the


    elevator

    But Evelina suddenly spoke up from behind, “Aren’t you supposed to be jetting off abroad, Liz? if I’m


    not mistaken, did Remington chase you down after finding out you were pregnant? He actually has a


    soft spot for kids. He named a star after my kid as a gift. I wonder what surprise Remington has cooked


    up for the little one in your tummy?”


    Evelina’s words were a clear jab at Lizetta, implying that Remington didn’t love her and only chased her


    down because of the baby.


    And of course, Lizetta hadn’t forgotten about the whole stap naming gift thing for Evelina.


    Without pausing, Lizetta stepped out of the elevator and the turned back to Evelina,


    “You’re really making a monkey of yourself with a thealousy, aren’t you? Thanks for the performance,


    though. Shame I didn’t bring my purse to tip you catch you next time.”


    With that, she shed a bright, carefree smile, waved her hand and walked away.


    Evelina’s hands, tightly clenched, began to shake uncontrobly.


    She red at Lizetta’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with malice.


    “Bitch! Me, jealous of that fake heiress? That’s augh. All she’s good for is getting knocked up to keep


    a man. No wonder she has the guts to talk divorce with Remington – thinking she’s got the upper hand


    with his spawt in her belly, ying hard to get. What a maniptive act!”


    She would not stand by and watch Lizetta get everything handed to her!


    As Lizetta turned around, her smile had already vanished.


    Evelina sure knew how to push her buttons.


    Even though Lizetta was aware of her antics and knew better than to take her words to heart, she was


    still furning.


    By the time she pushed open the door to Remington’s hospital room, her face was covered with a


    frosty chill.


    Remington saw her return and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face as he reached out to


    her.


    “What took you so long?”


    Lizetta walked over, but instead of taking his hand, she pped it away hard.

    “Remington, you’ve got some exining to do today about Evelina’s baby. Otherwise, I’m taking Joy


    and we’re out of here!”
