NovelAppChapter 124 Just got Daniel's background check; it just cin.
Lizetta glanced back at the car; Yolanda hadn't even cchasing after them. Clearly, she had been held. back.
Yolanda had got a fiery temper, if she really got into it with the Remington folks, who knew if she'd get hurt.
Lizetta was panting like a deflated balloon, “Fine, I'll be a good girl and go back with you.” Only then did Remington lift his gaze to look at her, his deep eyes fixating on her reddened eyes. He was a bit irritated, his voice laced with sarcasm, “No use crying over spilled milk, huh?” He still made the call, instructing. “Be nice to Yolanda.” Seeing him hang up, Lizetta wrapped herself in the duvet and huddled next to the car door, silent.
After a while, Remington was the first to break the silence, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Lizetta's heart skipped a beat; her hands clenching under the duvet. With him so ticked off and asking like that, could it be he found out she was pregnant? She subconsciously touched her belly, her face a picture of confusion as she turned to look at him.

“What do you wantto say? That | saw your heartfelt confession to Evelina? That | know my place and wish you well?” She tried to change the subject, and she clearly succeeded.
Remington frowned slightly, “What heartfelt confession?” Lizetta thought he was being phony, a cold sneer played at the comer of her lips, “I wasn't blind at the amusement park just now!” Thinking about that scene, Lizetta couldn't keep her cool, she turned her head away to look out the window again.
It wasn't because she was still in love with Remington. Any wife who saw her husband publicly declaring love for another woman couldnt stay calm.
“Ah!” With a startled cry, Lizetta was yanked into his embrace.
Remington looked down at her, a frown creasing his brows.
“Speak clearly! When did | ever make a heartfelt confession to Evelina at the amusement park?” Seeing him deny it, Lizetta snorted, “Don’t tellyou didn’t know that's what it meant! Drone confessions, there might be videos spreading online by now,” However, the lines in Remington's brows deepened, his lips pressed slightly, “Lizetta, are you illiterate? The most important subject is missing, and you're in such a hurry to pin it on me?” Lizetta laughed, “If not you, then who? Did Evelina make...” She spoke mockingly, but her voice trailed off half way.
Setting up a show like that for oneself, no one else would be so theatrical, but Evelina, maybe not so sure.
No subject, even if Remington started asking questions, Evelina could say it was a gift she wanted to give herself, something to motivate herself. Could it really not be Remington? “Talking about being dumb and then playing the victim, ‘stupid* is the only word that suits your pea—sized brain,” Remington mocked.
Lizetta was not convinced, “Pea-sized brain?” Remington chuckled, “Enough to wrong me, and show your nonsensical stubbornness.” Biting her lip. “You're not off the hook yet! You were there at the amusement park too, ditchingto protect her. That big drone show was blinding! How could you not have seen it?” Because Remington was there at the time, under those circumstances, no one would believe him.
Watching her stubborn and unrepentant demeanor, Remington let out a laugh tinged with coldness.

“Stop the car!” The car cto an almost immediate halt, and the driver stepped out.
Lizetta clutched the blanket tighter, quickly sitting up away from Remington's embrace, watching him warily, “What are you doing?” Seeing her looking like she'd bolt ten meters away if she could, Remington could hardly keep his anger in check.
His face as grim as still water, “I'm giving you a chance to come clean and apologize, Three minutes, think hard about what you should be saying to me. If you keep up this nonsense, I'll throw you out!”
After such a big mess, she kept it from him; that was one thing. But moving into Hogan's house afterwards,did she think he was dead? Spending her days doing nothing but butting heads with him, what else could she do?
Lizetta felt his icy gaze piercing her, as if her was being kneaded, by him repeatedly. Even if the drone show was a misunderstanding, wasn't he the one who cherished and valued Evelina so much? What right did he have to drag her out in the middle of the night, to mock and scorn her over and over again? She kept a cold face, “I've got nothing to say.” Remington's pupils contracted, his voice ice-cold, “Get out!”
