Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 167

Lizetta was trying to pour water down Evelina’s throat, but Evelina was putting up a real fight, so not much was getting in.

Just as Lizetta was about to pinch her cheeks and force it down, a hand that came out of nowhere grabbed her wrist tight.

As Lizetta looked up along that arm, her eyes met the familiar handsome face of the man.

Her heart went cold. “Let go!”

Evelina, seeing Remington come over, shoved Yolanda aside and ducked behind him.

“Boo–hoo, Remi, please save me! I don’t know what the heck Lizetta’s trying to make me drink; it’s awful, and my stomach is killing me.”

Evelina’s fair–weather friends all started chirping in after seeing Remington stick up for her.

“OMG, don’t tell me Eve’s actually knocked up?”

“Is Lizetta trying to force–feed her an abortion pill or something? That’s way over the top and just plain evil.”

“Yeah, how can you just shove drugs down someone’s throat? That unborn kid didn’t do anything; it’s so cruel!”

Yolanda was livid. She grabbed a bottle off the table and hurled it.

Crash!
