“It’s all so bizarre,” the bodyguardmented, “That woman had been tailing Mr. Remington for days
before making her move, right when Ray was on vacation. Even without Hay, Mr. Dashiell can handle
himself. It’s strange that she thought she could take him on.”
Lizetta paused in her tracks, a mocking cold glint shed through her eyes, her heart sinking deeper
with each thought. It turns out the injury was all an act by Remington.
How many times had he deceived her?
With Ste hack, only the baby could make him go to such lengths to keep her around.
He was just like Hanna, only caring about the child.
Stepping outside, Ynda was already waiting for her.
“Liz, you look terrible” Yndamented, frowning at the sight of her..
Lizetta, feeling a weird taste in her mouth, just shook her head and asked, “Got any water?”
Ynda opened the car door, grabbed a bottle of water, and handed it over.
Lizetta walked to the curb to rinse her mouth, Ynda patting her back..
The sunlight made Lizetta’s pale face appear almost translucent, the fatigue in her eyes hard to hide.
Ynda remembered how Lizetta had been so full of hope and bright–eyed about Remington just a few
days ago.
In just a short time, she looked like a shadow of her former self.
Ynda, filled with righteous anger, eximed, “That badass Remington, today it’s Evelina, tomorrow
some childhood sweetheart. With his skills, he shouldn’t even be a CEO. He’d do better as a gigolo,
changing women and making money, that wouldn’t be beneath him. A man like him, the epitome of all
jerks, deserves to be forgotten, Liz. You’re right to give up on him!”
After rinsing her mouth, Lizetta felt a bit fresher and nodded at Ynda, Tve been foolish enough this
once, let’s go.”
Back at the mansion.
Hanna was fuming, on the phone with Remington in the living room.
As soon as the call connected, Hanna couldn’t wait to say, “What a wonderful wife you’ve married! I got
up early to personally make her a nourishing soup and took it to the family mansion. And what did she
do? She threw the soup and the bowl out the door, made a big scene, and stormed of!!”
Remington had just arrived at the hospital.
Due to Quentin’s issue, Barbarn’s health had suddenly deteriorated, and she was not doing well these
past few days
Hearing Hanna’sint, Remington turned gloomy slightly, his voice filled with imitation as he
spoke.
“Then don’t bother making soup a
anymore. We have plenty of servants at the mansion to take care of her.”
Hanna expected him to scold Lizetta but was shocked to hear such a nonchnt response, infuriating
her even more.
“Remington, what do you mean by that? As a mother–inw, it’s wrong for me to Lizetta dared to
openly defy me, because she knows she has your support, right?”
care for
my pregnant daughter–inw? No wonder

Remington frowned, “Mother, I know Liz well. If you don’t provoke her, she wouldn’tsh out for no
reason. Her mood during pregnancy Ts important. Please, stay away from the mansion if it’s not
necessary.”
Hanna was incredulous, her anger rising, but the line went dead on the other side.
Remington hung up on Hanna and immediately dialed Lizetta’s number.
At that moment, Lizetta was discussing a dance rehearsal with Ynda.
Ynda was concerned about Lizetta’s well–being during pregnancy
“Don’t worry,” Lizetta assured, Tm not the only professional dancer to keep dancing during pregnancy. I
know my limits. If it gets too much, Joy is my priority, and ill take care.”
As the phone rang, Lizetta, still chatting, with Ynda, answered without looking.
“Did you have a conflict with Mom?” came Remington’s cool voice unexpectedly.
Lizetta’s smile faded, her lips curling with a touch of sarcasm, “Are you here to interrogate me?”
