Chapter 140 Lizetta whipped around and yanked the car door with all her might, even pounding on the window glass.
“Bang, bang, bang!” “Are you out of your freaking mind?” Remington yanked her back.
Lizetta lifted her head from the man’s embrace, her eyes bloodshot, glaring at him with disgust.

Remington, however, thought she was so disgusted with him that she was on the verge of puking, especially since the look she gave him was devoid of any past trace of sweetness, adoration, or tender reliance.
His heart clenched, his Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he abruptly closed his eyes and let go of her “Stop the car! Let her bail,” The car screeched to a halt, and Lizetta couldn't wait to shove the door open and jump out. True to form, the car didn’t stick around for a second and zoomed off.
Thinking of Yolanda still at Skyward Studios, Lizetta flagged down another ride and headed back. When she returned, Yolanda was sitting at the flowerbed by the entrance.
“Liz, you okay? Badass Remington didn’t do anything to you, did he?” Lizetta shook her head and gave Yolanda a once-over, making sure she hadn't been roughed up by the bodyguards, before asking.
“What are you doing sitting here?” Yolanda was fuming, “Obviously, I'm waiting to give Bitch Evelina a piece of my mind. This ain't over, even if | can’t snatch back the opportunity, I’m going to give her a taste of her own medicine and tarnish her reputation right here! She’s not getting off scot-free! Lizetta pulled her up, an idea forming in her mind. Just then, Louis happened to be escorting Evelina out Evelina had tried out the dance; she indeed knew how to dance, after all, Elara was a dancer. But her skills. were amateurish. Without Lizetta to compare, she might have barely passed muster, but next to Lizetta’s shining example, Evelina’s dancing was painfully subpar.
Louis was inwardly troubled, but Remington had announced-if Evelina could cut it, the gig was hers.
Even though Evelina was clearly out of her depth, she was the future boss’ wife, and Louis didn’t dare offend her, so he just bit the bullet and went along with it.

“Sis, you're still here? | was just about to sign the contract with Louis. If you're having trouble finding a ride, how about waiting until I'm done, and I'll give you a lift?” Yolanda clicked her tongue, itching to tear her apart, but Lizetta squeezed Yolanda’s wrist.
“I have a way to make her back off,” she said to Yolanda, not bothering to lower her voice, and Evelina heard it, scoffing dismissively.
The meat was already in her mouth - did Lizetta really think she would give it up? “Ms. Hawthorne, can we have a word in private?” +140 Lizetta looked at Evelina, who thought the former must have lost her marbles.
She chuckled, “I'm in a hurry to sign the contract.” Lizetta leaned in close to Evelina’s ear, “What | want to talk about involves Remington. If you still want my divorce from him to go smoothly, you'd better listen.” Evelina narrowed her eyes but ultimately followed Lizetta aside. Lizetta didn’t waste words, she opened her purse and showed Evelina something.
Three minutes later, Evelina cback and told Louis, “Louis, for the dance role, Lizetta is the better fit. Your company should stick to the original contract with Lizetta; I'm bowing out.” Louis’ eyes brightened, “But Mr. Dashiell...
Evelina smiled gently. “I'll handle Mr. Dashiell, you don’t need to report back to him anymore.” Louis was already not pleased with Evelina, so now that he could get back on track without lifting a finger, he naturally had no objections.
He sent Evelina on her way, fearing any last-minute changes, and immediately went with Lizetta to sign the contract.
