Chapter 120
was astonished, “How did you recognize me?”
The videos she posted on Twitter usually only showed her hands playing an instrument, and when she danced, she wore a mask the whole time.
In real life, it was the first time a fan had recognized her,
Hamilton just chuckled. The red light turned green, and he drove off.
Lizetta, hanging on the edge of her seat with anticipation, urged, “Tell me! You must be a fake fan, leaving your idol hanging like that?”
“I’m a die–hard fan! I’ve watched each of your dance videos at least a hundred times. The last time I gave you a ride on my motorcycle, I thought your figure looked familiar. But it was dark, and I wasn’t sure. You have a tiny mole on the side of your right index finger. I made a point to check tonight, and that confirmed
Lizetta glanced down at her hand. The small mole was tucked between her index and middle fingers, barely noticeable.
She was thoroughly impressed that he had noticed
Just then, a cellphone ringtone sounded from the back seat.
It was Joseph’s phone. Lizetta leaned over to grab it.
A call from Remington.
Her smile slowly faded, and she immediately switched it to vibrate.
But Remington called again quickly, and Lizetta pursed her lips as she answered
“Where are you?” The man’s voice was deep and with annoyance.
Lizetta responded coolly. “It’s me. We’re on our way back now”
“Get off the car now, send me your location, and I’ll come to pick you up!” Remington commanded, brooking
no argument.
Lizetta bit her lip. Wasn’t he with Evelina, having just made a romantic confession? Why wasn’t he glued to his sweetheart, but instead, looking for her and Joseph?
“No need, you take care of Evelina. Joseph is already asleep
“I said get off now, Lizetta. Can’t you understand?”
The man cut her off, his voice laced with anger and a chilling edge that Lizetta could feel through the phone.
She thought of how he had left her in the crowd, unhesitatingly squeezing through to Evelina, and the drone lights twinkling in the sky, her heart felt like it was fraying at the edges, tearing apart bit by bit.
She moved her lips, her breathing sluggish.
“Is it cold? Should I turn on the heater? Hamilton’s considerate voice broke the silence in the car.
Lizetta snapped back to reality. “No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Dashiell. We’re almost home.”
After she finished speaking, she hung up abruptly.
She muted the phone and shoved it back into Joseph’s backpack.

The car was quiet again. After a moment, Lizette turned to Hamilton, “You just…”
“Yeah, I did it on purpose.”
His acknowledgment was so straightforward and candid that Lizetta couldn’t even get mad.
But Hamilton looked at her warlly, “Sis, are you mad?”
His eyes were innocent, and careful, like a puppy dog.
Now Lizetta know what people meant by ‘puppy dog type‘. She said, not amused.
“Just drive welll Don’t look at me, look ahead!”
“Okay.” Hamilton Immediately turned his head and straightened up in his seat, looking obedient as can be. But this guy, nowhere near being so naive and silly, was clearly more complex than he seemed.
At the amusement park parking lot.
“Roml, can you take me back? I was scared, and my stomach’s been feeling queasy. I’m a bit frightened. I can only relax if you’re by my side.”
Evelina had been placed in the back seat of the car after being knocked down and stepped on in the crowd. Cedric was about to close the car door, but Evelina wouldn’t have it, gazing longingly at the man standing outside.
His figure was tall and commanding, standing in the night, his handsome face as cold as ice, radiating a ‘keep out‘ aura yet dangerously alluring.
Evelina saw him on the phone, surely arguing with Lizetta.
Now was her chance to make a move.
It was worth it when she saw the new drone show on her way to the amusement park, which could be customized for her, and she immediately spent twenty thousand to arrange one for herself.
