Ste finally rxed, sinking back into her hospital bed.


    She turned her face towards Remington, a pale smile offort gracing her lips before she slowly


    closed her eyes.


    Remington caught the doctor''s eye with a quick nce. The doctor immediately stepped forward to


    administer Ste''s treatment, her eyelids quickly bing unbearably heavy. Before slipping into


    unconsciousness, she heard a man''s voice, "You''ll be back with your family soon, while my bride is still


    waiting for me. Sorry, I can''t stay with you anymore." Ste wanted to grasp tightly, but she soon fell


    into darkness.


    Remington let go of Ste''s hand as the ambnce came to a halt, and he jumped out.


    The Maybach, racing alongside the ambnce, also screeched to a stop. Unnoticed, fine snowkes


    had begun to fall from the sky.


    Cedric opened the rear car door, holding an umbre as he stepped forward to greet, "Boss, your suit


    is in the car."


    Before he could finish, Remington pushed away the umbre and strode to the driver''s seat, yanking


    the door open.


    "Out!"


    Christ in the driver''s seat paused, and then realizing Remington intended to drive himself, hurriedly got


    out.


    Bending quickly to enter, Remington didn''t wait for Christ to steady himself before the Maybach, like a


    bolt of ck lightning, tore through the curtain of snow and sped away. Lizetta stood in the reception


    area of the banquet hall, spotting Evelina dressed in a sleek ck satin gown. Lizetta frowned slightly,


    utterly irritated. Yet, Evelina approached with a smile. "Sis, congrattions are truly in order. But


    where''s the groom? One might think you''re marrying Lucian instead. You two do seem quite a match."


    Ynda stepped forward, annoyed, "Evelina, it''s a miracle you''ve lived this long without getting


    smacked."


    Lucian scoffed, raising an eyebrow, "Perhaps she''ll end up dead in the streets by tomorrow."


    The two''s banter left Evelina with a noticeably sour face.


    Lizetta looked coldly at Evelina, "I didn''t invite you. It''d be best if you left now, before I call security to


    escort you out."


    Evelina smirked again, "You might not have invited me, but the Dashiell family invited my inws. I''m


    representing the West family here."


    "Oh, and when did you marry into the West family? News to everyone. Your skin is as thick as a wall."


    Ynda, disgusted, was about to take matters into her own hands.


    Evelina quickly stepped back, "I''m a guest; you''re all being incredibly rude. And I even brought a gift."


    She thrust a box into Lizetta''s hands, whispering as she leaned in close, "Did you really think


    Remington was just away on business, Sis? I''m saving you the trouble and tell you, he went to pick up


    Ste himself."


    Lizetta stiffened. Her face turned ashen in an instant.


    She staggered back, dropping the box Evelina had pushed into her hands. The box opened on impact,


    two jade folding fans inside shattering on the ground.


    "No! Sis, I came to congratte you with good intentions, and you''ve gone and broken my gift. That''s


    just too much," Evelina''s voice suddenly rose, her eyes reddening, drawing everyone''s attention. "Liz,


    Liz are you okay? What did she just say?"


    Ynda saw Lizetta standing there, dazed, herplexion almost translucent, and immediately forgot


    about Evelina, her concern evident.


    She took Lizetta''s trembling hands, which were colder than ice.


    For a moment, Lizetta saw nothing but blurs. All she could hear was Evelina''s spiteful voice.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    He wasn''t on a business trip; he went to fetch Ste himself!


    That was why. It all made sense now.


    "Lizetta," she cried to herself, "how could you be so naive? How did you not see thising?"
