Chapter 352
“It’s all so bizarre,” the bodyguard commented, “That woman had been tailing Mr. Remington for days before making her move, right when Ray was on vacation. Even without Hay, Mr. Dashiell can handle himself. It’s strange that she thought she could take him on.”
Lizetta paused in her tracks, a mocking cold glint flashed through her eyes, her heart sinking deeper with each thought. It turns out the injury was all an act by Remington.
How many times had he deceived her?
With Stella hack, only the baby could make him go to such lengths to keep her around.
He was just like Hanna, only caring about the child.
Stepping outside, Yolanda was already waiting for her.
“Liz, you look terrible” Yolanda commented, frowning at the sight of her..
Lizetta, feeling a weird taste in her mouth, just shook her head and asked, “Got any water?”
Yolanda opened the car door, grabbed a bottle of water, and handed it over.
Lizetta walked to the curb to rinse her mouth, Yolanda patting her back..
The sunlight made Lizetta’s pale face appear almost translucent, the fatigue in her eyes hard to hide.
Yolanda remembered how Lizetta had been so full of hope and bright–eyed about Remington just a few days ago.
In just a short time, she looked like a shadow of her former self.
Yolanda, filled with righteous anger, exclaimed, “That badass Remington, today it’s Evelina, tomorrow some childhood sweetheart. With his skills, he shouldn’t even be a CEO. He’d do better as a gigolo, changing women and making money, that wouldn’t be beneath him. A man like him, the epitome of all jerks, deserves to be forgotten, Liz. You’re right to give up on him!”
After rinsing her mouth, Lizetta felt a bit fresher and nodded at Yolanda, Tve been foolish enough this once, let’s go.”
Back at the mansion.
Hanna was fuming, on the phone with Remington in the living room.
As soon as the call connected, Hanna couldn’t wait to say, “What a wonderful wife you’ve married! I got up early to personally make her a nourishing soup and took it to the family mansion. And what did she do? She threw the soup and the bowl out the door, made a big scene, and stormed of!!”
Remington had just arrived at the hospital.
Due to Quentin’s issue, Barbarn’s health had suddenly deteriorated, and she was not doing well these past few days
Hearing Hanna’s complaint, Remington turned gloomy slightly, his voice filled with imitation as he spoke.
“Then don’t bother making soup a
anymore. We have plenty of servants at the mansion to take care of her.”
Hanna expected him to scold Lizetta but was shocked to hear such a nonchalant response, infuriating her even more.
“Remington, what do you mean by that? As a mother–in–law, it’s wrong for me to Lizetta dared to openly defy me, because she knows she has your support, right?”

my pregnant daughter–in–law? No wonder
