Chapter 417

    However, just as Lizetta began to move, Remington suddenly quickened his pace. The man took the


    stairs two at a time, quickly disappearing from sight. Downstairs, Sophia and two clerks were chatting


    by the stairwell, waiting. When they saw Remingtoning down, Sophia immediately approached


    him.


    "Did everything meet your expectations, Mr. Dashiell? Would you like Mrs. Dashiell to try on a couple


    more dresses?"


    Remington, on his phone, responded with a deep voice, "I''ll be right out; take him to the hospital. I''ll ask


    in person."


    He seemed to brush past Sophia without hearing her, striding briskly out of the bridal shop.


    A Maybach was parked outside, Ray got out to open the rear door for Remington, who bent down to


    get into the car, and Ray walked around to the other side and got in.


    Remington immediately asked in a stern voice, "Is the news reliable? Have you checked its


    authenticity?"


    A message had juste from the border. A viger imed that sixteen years ago, he had seen a girl


    with a severed finger, burning with fever, abandoned in the mountains near their vige. Based on the


    timing and location, it all matched up with when Ste had disappeared. It was very likely that the girl


    was Ste.

    That viger had been brought back to Zion City by their men, and naturally, Remington intended to


    question him personally.


    "The guy was beating around the bush, insisting on seeing you before spilling the beans. But it doesn''t


    sound like he''s making it up," Ray replied.


    Remington immediately clenched his fists. Over the years, there had been too many false leads in the


    search for Ste. But he prayed this time it was true, to bring Ste back as soon as possible. Sixteen


    years had passed; failing to bring her back intact, seeing her parents in such agony, he felt


    overwhelmingly guilty, unworthy of happiness, let alone the right to pursue it.


    Thinking of Ste possibly enduring inhumane torture somewhere, he found it hard to rest, unable to


    face the West family.


    Remington turned his gaze towards the window, his eyes piercing through the void towards the bridal


    shop''s second floor.


    He thought, "Just wait for me a little longer, Liz. Once I find Ste, I''ll tell everyone at our wedding that I


    love you."


    "Why are you standing here, Mrs. Dashiell? You look stunning, but perhaps you''d like to try a different


    style? What do you think?" Sophia said with a smile as she came upstairs and saw Lizetta standing by


    the stairwell.


    Lizetta snapped back to reality and smiled at her, "All the dresses here are beautiful."


    She nced downstairs again. Knowing what she was looking for, Sophia quickly said, "Looking for Mr.


    Dashiell? He just got a call about some emergency and had to leave."


    Lizetta didn''t expect Remington to leave early, leaving her behind like this. Her smile slowly faded as


    she nodded at Sophia.


    "Let''s go with this one. Could you help me take my measurements, Sophia? Once I set a date, it''ll help


    to estimate the size."


    She had lost the interest to try on more dresses.


    As Sophia instructed a clerk to take Lizetta''s measurements, Lizetta''s phone rang. It was a video call


    from Ynda.


    Lizetta answered, and Ynda''s wide-eyed face appeared on the screen, "Holy smokes! Lizetta, you''re


    really something, nning a wedding and not telling me! I saw your wedding photo with Badass


    Remington and thought it was Photoshopped!"


    Lizetta was surprised, "What wedding photo of mine?"


    "Are you not at Cassius'' cousin''s bridal shop? She took it, sent it to Cassius to nudge him about


    marriage, and I saw it."


    Lizetta didn''t expect this; facing Ynda''s reproachful gaze, she hurriedly exined, "I didn''t mean to


    hide it from you; just hadn''t gotten around to telling you yet. A lot has happened recently."


    "I''m leaving the set now to pick you up, and you''re going to exin everything to meter, or I won''t let


    you off the hook!" Ynda feigned anger, and Lizetta quickly nodded.


    After hanging up with Lizetta, Ynda quickly changed out of her costume, not even bothering to


    remove her makeup, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of the dressing room. But as soon as she


    stepped out, she bumped into Cassius, who had just finished a scene and frowned upon seeing her


    ready to leave.
