Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizetta clutched her fists, but eventually turned around, arching her eyebrows in sarcasm.

"Let me guess, is it Evelina? Huh, as if pursuing would change anything. Are you willing to harm her?"

With that forged letter from the hospital and the diary incident, Evelina had been openly scheming.

It was just because she had an exoneration, would Remington turn a blind eye?

"Whether I'm willing or not, you'll have to see for yourself," Remington said sternly.

Lizetta didn't struggle anymore. Yoli was still lying there; she couldn't let her suffer in vain.

Yoli had suspected something wrong about Evelina's pregnancy, which Lizetta found peculiar too.

Evelina was using her pregnancy as her exoneration and her future leverage. She should stay away from any risks.

When Hanna almost fell down the stairs, why did Evelina rush forward?

Lizetta was determined to uncover what's going on with Evelina's pregnancy.

Remington led Lizetta to Barbara's ward.

Lizetta wasn't surprised at all that Evelina was hiding here.

Upon their entrance, Evelina was busy massaging Barbara's shoulders. Seeing Lizetta and Remington enter with bodyguards, Evelina looked innocent as if nothing had happened.

"Mom, Mr. Dashiell brought his newlywed to see you."

"Why we're here, Evelina, you know exactly why." Lizetta sneered.

If it weren't for Evelina, Yolanda wouldn't have taken that fall. Yet Evelina was still causing trouble here, and Lizetta couldn't hold back.

"Sis's wedding was ruined, and I'm truly sorry about that. I understand if Sis needs someone to vent to. After all, you're carrying Mr. Dashiell's baby, and she's important, but that doesn't mean she can just take it out on me. I'm pregnant and it's hard, ouch."

Evelina spoke with a pained expression and clutched her belly.

She had been staying by Barbara's side these days, trying to please and make her presence felt.

With Quentin's supposed child on the way, her sweet talks and charm had won Barbara over entirely.

At Evelina's cry of pain, Barbara immediately took her hand, glaring at Lizetta with disapproval and anger.

"I've said it before, you're not welcome here, get out!"

Lizetta laughed coldly. She used to endure it all for Remington's sake.

Now, she was done with Remington and his debts to the West family were not hers to pay.

She refused to coddle Barbara any longer, mocking, "What makes you think this place is so grand? I don't want to be here either. Once we

settle our scores, I'll leave natu Even if you invite me, I won't come anyway!"

"You!"

Barbara, sick and blind, was usually coddled and pampered, with no one confronting her. It had been a long time since anyone had been so disrespectful to her. She was so angry she trembled all over.

"Remington! Did you bring her here today to anger me?" She calmed down a bit and said angrily.

Remington, after all, cared about her health. He let go of Lizetta's hand and stepped forward.

"Godmother, my wedding was

ruined by Evelina's schemes, and the

Dashiell family's reputation was

tarnished as well. If I don't punish

the culprit, anyone will think they can

mess with me. Please, stay out of this!"

After speaking, he gently patted Barbara's hand, then commanded firmly.

"Ray, take Ms. Hawthorne away!"

Ray immediately stepped forward, and Evelina's face went pale. She threw herself onto the bed, clinging to Barbara.

"Mom, I have no idea what Mr.

Dashiell is talking about! Mrs. Dashiell has held a grudge against me ever since her parents found out she was a false heiress when we were kids and sent her away. She's

been against me ever since,e'sC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

slandering me! Mom, I can't go with them. I can bear any injustice, but what about Quinn's baby in my belly?"

Barbara then propped herself up and held Evelina tightly, speaking with sorrow and defiance.

"If anyone dares to touch my daughter-in-law, they'll have to step over my dead body!"
