Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 

Evelina felt like Remington’s gaze was as icy as if he was staring down an enemy

She was shocked, her face turning ghostly pale, and she stumbled back a couple of steps in fear

With just a look from Remington, two bodyguards stepped up and grabbed Evelina by her arms

Tears streamed down Evelina’s face, a mix of feeling wronged and terrified

She didn’t want to get slapped. If she got smacked around by Lizetta today, without rhyme or reason, she’ll be laughed at

Remi, I didn’t do it, I really didn’t, you can’t let Liz get away with this.” 

Her wails were pitiful, but seeing that Remington wasn’t paying her any mind, she turned to Casslus

Cassius, this is your shindig and your setup, won’t you even look out for me?” 

Cassiusface wasn’t looking too hot either. He thought Lizetta was being way too bullish

No evidence whatsoever, and here she was, crashing the party; Remington even let her get away with it, not to say that he allowed her to hit Evelina

He stepped forward, Remi.” 

Remington shot him a frosty look, None of your beeswax.” 

Cassius frowned, and Yolanda let out a snort of derision

Cassius was already fuming and had no outlet, when he heard her blatantly mocking laughter, he glared at her

Yolanda rolled her eyes, mouthing silently. Idiot.” 

Cassius read her lips and wished he could just strangle her right then and there

Liz, chill. I’ll do it for you, save you the trouble.” 

Yolanda rolled up her sleeves, but Lizetta grabbed her

Lizetta’s gaze was calm but stubborn as she looked at Remington

What if I just want her to drink this bottle of water?” 

If it were her who took the hit, she could handle whatever came her way

But today, she just wanted to fight for fairness for the little one in her belly

Remington’s frown was so deep that it was nearly a physical ridge, and he said slowly, I told you, no way!Feeling a surge of profound disappointment, Lizetta managed a bleak smile. She nodded and let go of Yolanda, saying

Yoli, go ahead.” 

As Yolanda approached Evelina, she noticed the smile on Lizetta’s face, yet it felt more like she was crying

She walked towards Evelina and raised her hand for a slap

Smack

Evelina’s head turned as she spat out a mouthful of blood, along with a bloody tooth

Whoa!Evelina opened her mouth, feeling too pained to speak, and broke into a pitiful, tearful mess

Holy moly! You hulk out or something? Take it easy!” 

Cassius always saw Evelina as the kid sister of the social circle, and seeing Yolanda strike so hard, he grabbed her hand

Yolanda looked at him, Let go, or I’ll smack you too!” 

You wouldn’t dare!Cassius sneered

Yolanda scoffed, Badass Remington didn’t give a damn to his woman, so what’s got you all worked up? Trying to steal Badass Remington’s thunder?” 

Spout one more nonsense!Cassius seethed

Yolanda couldn’t be bothered to argue and just went for a knee sweep

Cassius had seen her fight scenes on set, which was smooth as water; she was the real deal. He was on guard and dodged back

After Yolanda got free, she delivered four more slaps to Evelina

After the beating, Evelina, feeling she was hanging by a thread, leaned on the bodyguard for support
