Chapter 204
She totally fell for him when he followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital to make sure she was okay.
Today, she brought over some homemade cupcakes to see Hogan, but happened to catch him coming out of the hospital, so she tagged along.
She didn’t expect to walk into Lizetta and Hogan on a date – just the two of them, clearly a romantic outing.
Watching Hogan fuss over Lizetta made her green with such envy that she yearned for going over there and scratching Lizetta’s face off.
“What the heck are you talking about!” Hogan frowned, visibly ticked off.
Shirley’s eyes welled up with tears as she turned her anger towards Lizetta.
“Lizetta, how could you be such a flirt, seducing men all over the place? You’re dragging the Dashiell family’s name through the mud. Ah!”
Before Shirley could finish her rant, Lizetta grabbed the coffee mug in front of her, stepped forward, and splashed it right back at her.
Shirley’s face was streaked with coffee, and her makeup became a total mess.
Lizetta glared at her coldly, “Shirley, jealousy looks so ugly on you.”
“Jealous of you? As if! Hogan just doesn’t know the kind of trash you really are, or he wouldn’t have fallen for your act. You dared to drug my Remi at eighteen and climb into his bed, leaving him bedridden for three days.”
Thinking of Evelina’s words about Hogan having a thing for Lizetta four years ago. even sending Helen White to propose to the Dashiell family on his behalf, Shirley got even more furious, so much so that she lost her cool and started to yell like a fishwife.

Shirley glared at Lizetta, and her expression turned even more crazed.
“Where did I go wrong? You even ended up in stitches and got hospitalized. You’re nothing but a woman played out! Rémi was so disgusted that he left the country for a year and never came back!”
As Shirley swung at Lizetta’s face, Lizetta grabbed her hand and, with the other hand, delivered another slap.

Lizetta was about to slap her again when a familiar, large male hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.
A familiar, cold voice came from above Lizetta’s head, “Lizetta, what are you doing?!”
Lizetta looked up to see Remington.
He must have just walked in. The grip on her wrist was so strong that his brow furrowed with an edge of severity.
“Remi! Lizetta’s blatantly cuckolding you, and when I just asked her about it, she hit me! Look at what she did to me, Remi!”
Seeing Remington step in, Shirley instantly saw him as her knight in shining armor; her tears fell as she rushed to his side to sob out her tale of woe.
