Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 169

Evelina felt like Remington’s gaze was as icy as if he was staring down an enemy.

She was shocked, her face turning ghostly pale, and she stumbled back a couple of steps in fear.

With just a look from Remington, two bodyguards stepped up and grabbed Evelina by her arms.

Tears streamed down Evelina’s face, a mix of feeling wronged and terrified.

She didn’t want to get slapped. If she got smacked around by Lizetta today, without rhyme or reason, she’ll be laughed at.

“Remi, I didn’t do it, I really didn’t, you can’t let Liz get away with this.”

Her wails were pitiful, but seeing that Remington wasn’t paying her any mind, she turned to Casslus.

“Cassius, this is your shindig and your setup, won’t you even look out for me?”

Cassius‘ face wasn’t looking too hot either. He thought Lizetta was being way too bullish.

No evidence whatsoever, and here she was, crashing the party; Remington even let her get away with it, not to say that he allowed her to hit Evelina.

He stepped forward, “Remi.”

Remington shot him a frosty look, “None of your beeswax.”

Cassius frowned, and Yolanda let out a snort of derision.

Cassius was already fuming and had no outlet, when he heard her blatantly mocking laughter, he glared at her.
