Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 222

Cedric was all polite but distant, which made Evelina stop dead in her tracks.

She turned around, only to find Remington already walking off with Lizetta by the hand, leaving her stranded like a wallflower.

Evelina gritted her teeth in frustration and was about to give chase when the hospital room door opened and out came Yolanda, drying her hair.

Yolanda had just shielded Lizetta from a drive–by egging and had cleaned up in the restroom.

Spotting Evelina at the door, she marched right up and grabbed her.

“Listen up, Evelina, what’s with the sneaky lurking? Spill it–are you the snitch cozying up to Jolin, the one who got eggs chucked at Liz, trying to air her dirty laundry live online? Was that your doing?”

Evelina shook off her grip, “What the heck are you blabbering about? I don’t have a clue!! just came to check on Thaddeus and stumbled upon this hot mess. Don’t pin this on me! If you’ve got proof, go ahead and call the cops. Quit this vigilante act. Got a few screws loose, huh? Or perhaps you haven’t forgotten your little time–out in the slammer last time?”

The tables had turned. The tall guy live–streaming had bolted without so much as grabbing his phone, clutching his stomach as he made a run for it.

Those who had thrown the eggs were long gone.
