Chapter 422

    The middle-aged woman argued back, affirming her identity as Barbara''s sister, Emma Jones.


    Lizetta was taken aback, realizing that Barbara had discovered Eileen was an imposter.


    Eileen hurried over, anxiously addressing Remington.


    "Thatdy suddenly burst in and exposed me. I had no idea what was happening. Barbara was deeply


    shocked, and then that Miss rushed in too, iming she was carrying a child from the West family.


    Barbara became extremely agitated and fainted."


    Eileen then gestured towards Evelina. Remington''s gaze was sharp as a de, turning towards


    Evelina.


    Evelina felt as though she was being dissected under that intense scrutiny, her heart racing yet


    strangely unafraid.


    Eileen was a fake Ste. And the child she was carrying was her trump card.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Stepping forward, her hand on her lower back and belly protruding, she spoke softly, "I was justing


    to the hospital to visit Mrs. West, considering she''s going to be my baby''s grandma. I heard she had


    surgery again recently and couldn''t help but worry.


    Little did I know, I''d walk in right as Mrs. Jones had upset her. I feared Mrs. West might be heartbroken


    over her daughter being a fraud, potentially harming herself from the distress.


    That''s why I rushed in to tell her I was pregnant with Quentin''s child, hoping to save her. I didn''t expect


    her to faint."


    Evelina''s face was a mix of concern, guilt, and innocence, her words sincere. But Remington saw


    through her intentions.


    His eyes were cold and unyielding as he spoke, "Who gave you the right to decide on your own!"


    Evelina, seemingly startled, stepped back, clutching her belly. Martin stepped forward, positioning


    himself protectively in front of Evelina and instructed the servants.


    "Take her aside to rest and make sure she''s well taken care of."


    Turning back to Remington, he said, "Remington, we didn''t tell your godmother about this because


    Evelina''s pregnancy was fragile at first. But she''s past the critical first trimester now, and the baby is


    stable. Your godmother already knows Ste wasn''t found. Without giving her hope, she might... Even


    if Evelina hadn''t told your godmother, I would have. Evelina meant well; don''t me her."


    As the West family''s servants escorted Evelina to the resting area, she lowered her head, a smirk


    crossing her face.


    She knew this child was herst bargaining chip. The Hawthorne family had gone bankrupt, her


    parents now living in a cramped apartment, resigned to their fate.


    But Evelina refused to give up. Back in Celestia, she had tried everything to seduce Remington, who


    remained uninterested, not giving her a shred of hope.


    With the Hawthorne family business failing, in desperation, she found herself in a situation with


    Quentin, who had been drugged.


    It was a calcted move on her part. Quentin was not as desirable as Remington, but Remington and


    the West family were close, and Quentin was considered a brother by him.


    If she couldn''t be Remington''s woman, bing his sister-inw, Mrs. West, was the next best thing.


    But fate was cruel, and she ended up pregnant with Quentin''s child, only for him to die in a car ident


    shortly after.


    Yet, she still had her luck; the child in her womb was now the sole heir to the West family fortune.


    Exposing Ste as a fraud, causing Barbara to copse, was a perfect scenario for Lizetta to take the


    me.


    Better for Barbara to die on spot; if Barbara didn''t survive, Evelina was eager to see if Lizetta''s wedding


    would still happen. Remington would surely despise Lizetta, a turn of events Evelina relished. Passing


    by Lizetta, Evelina cast a nce at Lizetta. Her gaze was dripping with sinister joy, leaving Lizetta


    feeling as if ensnared by a venomous snake.


    It was then that she heard Remington''s icy voice questioning Emma, "How did you find out Ste was


    an impostor we had brought in?"
