Chapter 185
Remington had been standing there for who knew how long, watching her get bullied and comered with a cold, detached gaze.
Lizetta felt a chill in her heart, which quickly nited into a blaze of anger. With a sudden burst of energy, she broke free and slapped the middle–aged man who was harassing her right across his face.
The dude was dazed for a second, but then he flipped his lid, “You dare to hit me? I was being nice to you, you little tramp!”
He swung at Lizetta, who shut her eyes tight. But the slap never landed. Instead, she heard a
scream.
When she opened her eyes, there was Remington, towering in front of her. He had the middle–aged man’s arm twisted, his handsome face expressionless, but his presence so intimidating that the troublemakers didn’t dare to breathe.
“Let go of me.”
The man, whose wrist was clutched, face white from the pain, struggled as Remington delivered a kick.
The guy was sent flying into a wall and crumpled to the ground. Remington held out his hand and the guy who had taken Lizetta’s phone cautiously placed it back in his palm, his face drained of color.
“Scram!”
With one cold glance from Remington, it was clear he wasn’t someone to mess with. The others didn’t even try to argue and helped the guy, who was sweating from pain, stumble
zetta had been looking down the whole time, but when she felt Remington’s gaze on her, she looked up.
She was about to say something, but then she saw Evelina and Hanna coming up behind him.
Lizetta didn’t want to get tangled up with them and frowned as she snatched her phone back from Remington’s hand, saying, “Thanks for just now. They’re here for you, go to them. Hey, what are you doing?”
Before she could finish, Remington had grabbed her wrist. He started pulling her towards the exit, with Evelina and Hanna’s voices trailing behind them.
“Remi!”
*Remington, where are you going? Come back!”
Remington didn’t look back. Lizetta thought he didn’t see or hear them and tugged her hand,
reminding him. They’re calling you.
“I’m not deal.
Mrs. Dashiell, look.”
Evelina watched them disappear, tears wellir up and she leaned on Hanna, devastated,
Hanna, with a stern face, comforted Evelina while eyeing the door, “Eve, don’t be upset; it’s not good for the baby.”
“But Remi doesn’t seem to want a divorce, nor does he seem keen to get engaged to me. He still has feelings for Lizetta. He walked away with her without even looking back, and you
saw it too.
Evelina’s tears fell, and she wiped them away, her face a mix of struggle and resolve.
“Mrs. Dashiell, I don’t want to be the other woman. Maybe I should just get rid of the baby.” Hanna was counting on Evelina’s baby to save Joseph and immediately tightened her grip on Evelina’s hand.
“What nonsense! Didn’t Remington just agree to the engagement in front of Lizetta? It must be Lizetta up to something again, and that’s why Remington was momentarily taken away by her. Eve, you’re carrying Remington’s baby. If anyone’s the other woman, it’s Lizetta who’s been interfering with you and Remington.”
“But Remi still didn’t agree to get engaged to me just now.”
Evelina had taken Remington’s earlier compliance and his agreement to send Lizetta a wedding invitation as a sign of genuine intent; she was ecstatic.
But
as they returned to the private room and Hanna brought up the engagement again, kemington’s face turned cold, he said there’d be no engagement, and then left.
It was then Evelina realized he had never intended to get engaged to her, and his earlier actions were just to provoke Lizetta.
Watching as Remington left with Lizetta, Evelina felt nothing but bitterness and jealousy.
“Don’t worry, I will make sure Remington divorces Lizetta,” Hanna promised.
Meanwhile, Remington had dragged Lizetta to the parking lot and opened the passenger side door for her.
But Lizetta just stood there, looking at him, “I can get back by myself. Isn’t it a bit rough to leave your fiancée hanging?”
She really didn’t get Remington’s deal. He was supposed to be discussing engagement plans with Evelina tonight, yet he ditched Evelina and took her away instead.
