Chapter 190 

Hanna chuckled, “Alright, as long as you make a clean break and divorce Remington lickety–split, you’re square with the Dashiell family. I’m not a heartless elder, after all. You grew up with the Dashiells, and if you ever hit a rough patch and come knocking, I’ll lend a hand for Joseph’s sake.” 

Lizetta sure as heck wouldn’t go begging to Hanna. She just gave Hanna a faint smile and turned to swing open the emergency exit door. 

What Lizetta hadn’t anticipated was as she barely took a few steps, she bumped into Remington, who was stepping out of the adjacent elevator. 

The man’s gaze swept over her, pausing on Lizetta’s pale face and reddened eyes. Lizetta froze, and then quickly ducked her head. 

“Remington?” By then, Hanna had also emerged from the emergency exit. 

Remington’s eyes flickered thoughtfully between the two women. Hanna hurried over, explaining, “Lizetta came to see Joseph. We just had a chat about his illness, and Lizetta got all teary–eyed because she’s so worried about him.” 

“Really?” Remington’s eyes locked onto Lizetta. 

Lizetta lifted her head, her eyes now clear and dry, and nodded, “I’ve seen Joseph. Can’t do much more here, so I’m heading out.” 

She stepped forward and pressed the elevator button. 

Hanna walked over and tugged at Remington, “Remington, come with me to see Dr. James. Isn’t he the specialist you brought in for Joseph? Why is Joseph’s condition still getting worse?” 

Lizetta glanced at the man’s retreating figure and stepped into the elevator. 

Buemington paused, looking down at Hanna with an intimidating gaze, “What did you just say to her?” 

Hanna frowned, “Are you questioning me? What could I have said? Just talked about Joseph’s illness.” 

Remington stared at Hanna, his lips curling slightly, “Do you need to sneak into an emergency exit to discuss Joseph’s illness?” 

Seeing she couldn’t bluff her way out, Hanna snapped, “I didn’t say much. I heard you. signed the divorce papers, so I was just checking if it’s true.”

“Who told you we signed divorce papers?” Remington’s eyes turned icy. 

He had told no one about the divorce agreement with Lizetta. As far as he was concerned, that agreement was meant to be voided sooner or later.

added with a ser, Remington, she’s got her wings now and she’s dead set on divorce en sold me she’d draw her blood, self her organs or beg on the streets to pay back the 3 million and be done with our family. I’ve already agreed to it.” 

Remington’s fists clenched suddenly, storm ck is brewing in his eyes. Great, she’d rather bleed dry than be clear of him. That woman truly couldn’t wait to broadcast their divorce to the whole world. 

“Pennington, she’s heartless now, don’t you go soft on her again. The Dashiell family raised her for years, treating her like a pampered lady. After owing so much to the Dashiells, not only is she ungrateful, but now she harbors a grudge.” 

Hanna’s mockery was cut short by Remington’s cold interruption. 

“She never owed the Dashiell family anything!” 

“How can she not owe us?” 

“She saved grandma’s life, that alone makes it our duty to provide for her. And since she married me, she’s my rightful wife. Doesn
