Chapter 301
Hannah frowned deeply as she hurried forward to help Evelina back to her feet
“Mrs. Hannah, I’m fine, really I just didn’t have a good grip.”
“I saw everything, and look at these flowers, all trampled. Does that look like just a slip?”
Hannah shielded Evelina glaring at Lizetta.
“What was that snide comment for? Apologize to Eve, now!”
Lizetta smirked, “Just got diagnosed with incapable of apologizing syndrome, so, no apology coming from me.”
Hannah, already boiling with rage at the sight of Lizetta, swung her hand in a slop, furious
“Well, I guess it’s about time someone cured you of that bizarre illness!”
Lizetta anticipating the move, grabbed Hannah’s wrist.
Hannah tried to pull away but couldn’t, her anger intensifying, “Lizetta, you dare to lay a hand ОП me?”

Seeing his reaction, Hannah, even more aggrieved, pushed Evelina gently towards Remington.
“And then there’s Eve, who was nearly pushed over by Lizetta. If it weren’t for my quick reaction, she would have definitely fallen. It’s like Lizetta wouldn’t rest until she harms the baby. Eve’s already here in the hospital for a check–up, and what Lizetta did was deliberate She’s about to move abroad after the divorce, why did you even bring her back?”
Evelina took a couple of steps towards Remington but then hesitated, stepping back.
“Mr. Dashiell, please, don’t misunderstand. I just heard you were hospitalized and brought flowers to visit. I didn’t mean to upset Liz or encounter your mother. It was wrong of me to come, I’ll leave right now
Her voice trembled with a plea for understanding
“Eve, you’re carrying Remington’s child. Why shouldn’t your
