Chapter 318 of Lizetta had heard these words before, her heart would have felt like it was being sliced open with a kife But now she knew the true story behind Evelina’s pregnancy, and these words only slightly annoyed her.
She looked at April and Evelina, “Evangeline? Not bad.” Her reaction was so nonchalant, completely outside of Evelina’s expectations.
Eveline stared at Lizetta, hoping she was just putting on a brave face and that inside, she was in excruciating pain But what she found was that Lizetta genuinely didn’t seem to care.
Evelina’s nails dug into her palm as she forced a smile, “Don’t worry, Liz. New asteroids aren’t exactly da dozen. Next chance we get, Remington will probably none after you too.” Listening to her thinly veiled digs, Lizetta thought about how Evelina’s deceitful manipulation years ago had led her to believe Remington was still hung up on his past love.

Without Evelina’s scheming, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings between Lizetta and Remington. Lizetta wished she could give Evelina a piece of her mind right then and there.
She shot Evelina a cold look, “Evelina, have the slaps from Hanna not faded yet? Are you that eager for another round?” Evelina had been slapped several times by Hanna before, leaving her face swollen with nail marks, now hidden behind a face mask Hearing Lizetta’s words, she felt her cheeks burn anew. fq “You put on such a show to makebelieve you and my husband had a thing in Celestia, spreading those false rumors back home, making people think | stole your man and your happy ending. Carrying another manis child, yet leveraging my husband's guilt to try and drive a wedge between us. With all your plotting, what did you gain? My husband still wouldn't give you a second glance. Evelina, I'm not hitting you today, not because you're not despicable enough, but because I'm considering your unborn child. My husband has toldeverything.
Hearing you now, it’s just laughable. I'd advise you to stop lowering yourself. After all, what goes around comes around. Eventually, that baby will be born, and what will you do without your shield?” Lizetta was only holding back because of Quinn, Quinn was a stand-up guy. Once, when Lizetta and Lucian were fighting as kids, Quinn happened to walk by and even helped Lizetta out, giving her an orange candy afterward, Evelina’s expression froze, and she stared at Lizetta with disbelief and envy.
She couldn't believe Remington had told Lizetta everything! Remington had promised to keep it a secret. How could he disclose such crucial matters to Lizetta, that little nobody? Why did he care so much, trust, and value Lizetta? Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Lizetta made to leave. Evelina, however, couldn't hold back her rage.
2.1/2 09:50 Chapter 310 “Lizetta, don’t be so smug! Do you think you've won? Hah, Remington is only keeping you around for the baby! He’s hoping that baby can save his little brother's life. Do you think he loves you? If I'm not mistaken, he was ready to divorce you and send you packing from Zion City before he knew you were pregnant, right?” Struths, Lizetta was well aware of, but hearing them from someone else felt like a punch to the gut.
The words Remington had said, telling her to never come back after the divorce echoed in Lizetta's ears once more.
Biting her tongue to distract from the heartache, she refused to let Evelina get to her .Say whatever you want. I'll show you what happiness looks like.

She stepped out of the elevator with confidence, but Evelina followed, her voice laced with venom and smugness.
