"I want to leave him, but he won''t let me go! But I''ve already made up my mind to leave. I can see what


    you are up to. Instead of trying to test me and provoke me here, Ms. West, why don''t you help me?"


    Ste was clearly taken aback by Lizetta''s words, so much so that her stirring of her coffee halted


    abruptly.


    "Help you?"


    "Use the power of the West family to get me out of Zion City. Remington refuses to divorce, and even


    going to court would be useless. I''ll leave for two years, Ms. West, and during that time, you can


    cultivate a rtionship with Remington.


    After two years, when I file for divorce again, I''m sure Remington won''t hold on anymore. After we''re


    separated for two years, even if he still refuses by then, the court will recognize that the marriage has


    indeed broken down and grant the divorce. It''s a win-win situation. Will you help me leave?"


    Lizetta reached out her hand towards Ste.


    Lizetta wanted to leave, but she didn''t want to involve Hogan likest time.


    After all, the West family would probably be happy to see this happen.


    However, Ste looked at Lizetta''s extended hand for a long time, with her gaze flickering, but she


    never took Lizetta''s hand.


    Finally, sheughed helplessly, "Liz, I always said you''ve got the wrong idea about me. Remington and


    I were childhood sweethearts, and we promised to each other from a young age. ying house, I was


    always Remington''s bride, and we even took pictures in wedding attire.


    You know, girls tend to give their hearts away early. I won''t lie, Liz, I saw Remington as my future


    husband since I was a little girl, and I''ve been looking forward to the day I''d marry him. That''s why, inN?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    those life-and-death situations, I gave up my chance of escape for him.


    All these years, I endured torture and hardship, all while thinking of Remington, hoping he''de to


    rescue me one day, which is why I survived.


    But when I came back and found out he was married and had a baby, I kept telling myself that what''s


    missed is missed. As much as it hurts, I never thought about wrecking your home. Liz, I can''t promise


    you that. I can''t help you."


    Lizetta withdrew her hand, and slowly clenched it into a fist.


    She looked at Ste, who maintained a wless demeanor; she imed not to want to interfere but


    clearly expressed deep affection for Remington in every sentence.


    Each word felt like a thorn piercing her heart. How could this not be considered interference?


    Ste didn''t agree, but that was just being more cautious.


    Because Ste knew that once Remington found out it was the West family helping her escape, he


    would resent it.


    But Lizetta was certain, even if Ste didn''t want to get involved, she wouldn''t tell Remington about her


    n to escape.


    Lizetta was betting that Ste ultimately couldn''t refuse her proposal.


    "If you remember everything and haven''t lost your memory, you should have contacted your family to


    bring you back home, right? Why haven''t we heard anything from you all these years?" Lizetta asked.


    She found it extremely odd. Ste wasn''t a little child when the incident happened; she was already


    eleven or twelve.


    Ste seemed to be struck by a painful memory, and her face turned pale instantly.


    She lowered her head, and tears suddenly began to fall.


    Lizetta frowned, feeling a pang of concern.


    This familiar scenario.


    And right then, she heard footsteps behind her.


    Turning around, she saw Remington''s tall figure approaching quickly, with Hanna following behind him.


    "Ste! My God, it is Ste, my child, my good child! You''re finally back you''ve suffered so much. Why


    are you crying? Lizetta! What have you done to Ste!"


    Hanna was visibly moved.


    S


    She hurried past Remington, sat down next to Ste, and enveloped her in a hug.
