NovelOnlineWhatever the scenawas, it wasn't something Lizetta wanted. But why only these two?
"Maybe he just didn't want to waste police resources over something so trivial? After all, my husband could solve
it in a heartbeat. Stop trying to draginto your little fantasy world," Lizetta replied, her gaze icy as she locked
eyes with Evelina.
Seeing Lizetta's calm and serene demeanor, Evelina clenched her fists, a mocking smile creeping onto her face.
"Oh, how naive you are. Do you really trust Remington that much? The thing with the West family was a huge
deal for him. Barbara was nearly killed because of that letter. Do you think he'd consider it a small matter? That
he'd be worried about wasting police resources?"
"Evelina, cut the . You're trying so hard to sabotage our relationship, and it's almost pitiful. Especially since
we're about to have our wedding. But don't worry; you're not invited.
As for who's behind today's incident, we both know the truth. Evil deeds will always backfire. It's getting cold; I'd
advise you to retreat to your burial and cover more earth on you to keep warm, okay?"

Lizetta gave Evelina a brief glance before turning away, no longer engaging with her. As Evelina watched
Lizetta's departing figure, her eyes darkened. Remington escorted Martin to the side room before coming back to
Lizetta, "I need to head back to Starlight Group. Want the driver to take you home?"
Lizetta nodded, "I'll go check on my brother first, then head back."
Remington, habitually, reached out to gently pat Lizetta's head. Standing anxiously to the side, Eileen stepped
forward, her expression a mix of apology and worry.
"Mr. Dashiell, | really had no idea how this happened. It wasn'twho leaked it. About my husband's illness."
Eileen was genuinely concerned that with the secret out and Barbara's near miss, Remington might not keep his
promise.
But Remington's gaze remained calm as he nodded at Eileen.
"This isn't on you. Your husband's kidney transplant is scheduled, latest by next week. Since there's no need for
you here anymore, I'll arrange for someone to take you and your daughter back to Celestia." Overjoyed, Eileen
bowed deeply in gratitude to Remington. She also thanked Lizetta politely.
"Thank you for your care, Mrs. Dashiell. | need go back to take care of my husband, so | won't be able to stay for
your wedding. But | wish you both a lifetof happiness and fortune. If you ever visit Celestia, please letbe
the host then."
Lizetta shook Eileen's hand, "I wish your husband a speedy recovery and your family all the best."
As Eileen hurried off, her relief and happiness were palpable. Lizetta turned to Remington, "She and her husband
must be very close."
Remington lowered his gaze to hers, "Yeah, close. Makeswonder why someone would get so jealous for no
reason."
Lizetta shot him an annoyed glare, "Well, if you didn't keep secrets from me! Con, spill it. What have you
been hiding lately?"
Remington thought about the investigation into Stella's last known whereabouts. But without concrete
information yet, and considering they were outside Barbara's hospital room, he hesitated before replying. "I

His voice carried a mix of teasing and affection, making Lizetta laugh and squeeze his hand.
"I'll go see my brother first. Don't stay out too late; chearly."
Her tone and look were those of a sweet, obedient wife, eyes filled with love for him. Remington felt a warmth
spread through him, and he kissed her forehead before letting go.
Evelina, standing not too far away, watched their affectionate exchange, her nails digging into her purse out of
frustration. She was curious to see what kind of disaster Lizetta's wedding would turn into. Back at Starlight
Group's CEO office, Remington pulled open a drawer under his desk as soon as he arrived.
He took out an old diary and spread open a confidential letter received that day. The handwriting on the letter
mirrored that of the diary.
He was familiar with Lizetta's handwriting, having taught her himself. Handwriting habits are hard to change, and
Lizetta's slanted slightly to the left.
