Chapter 235

Lizetta caught her breath and grabbed Yolanda’s hand, pulling her to safety behind her.

“Mr. Dashiell, you are so high and mighty, do we need to apologize to the esteemed Ms. Hawthorne?”

Remington was sporting a black mask, so it was hard to see what his face was really saying, but it was obvious that he was clenching his jaw tight under there.

“Lizetta, Remington’s just super protective of the baby in my belly. The baby’s innocent, after all. Even if Ms. Yolanda and you can’t stand me, there’s no need to drag an unbom child into this.”

“If you really cared about the kid, you wouldn’t be up to no good while pregnant. You gotta know, that little bun in the oven is soaking up all your nastiness like a sponge
