Chapter 239

Joseph sneakily recorded the scene where Remington lost his cool In Riverbend Abbey’s lounge.

Watching Hilary and other ladies get chewed out by Remington and leave with their tails between their legs, Lizetta felt a mix of soumess and swelling in her heart.

Hilary and Mrs. Frost were Hanna’s close friends, who also used to frequent the Dashiell family.

Every time they visited Riverbend Abbey, Hanna would make a point to summon Lizetta.

Even though there were servants at Riverbend Abbey to serve water, offer fruit, and tidy up the table, Hanna always bossed Lizetta around, and Mrs. Frost and company loved to join in on the fun.

They treated Lizetta like a servant. Four years ago, she was just a fresh faced 18 or 19–year–old, easy to push around.

Holding onto pipe dreams of spending her life with Remington, she didn’t dare to tick off Hanna, so she was often run ragged. Now, seeing Remington stand up for her, Lizetta couldn’t help but feel a little thrill of happiness.

Lizetta was zoning out with her p

phone when it suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Joseph calling, she quickly picked up.

“Liz, did you really split with Remington?”

Joseph’s voice was anxious, and Lizetta slightly furrowed her brow because she could hear a lot of noise on the other end, including car homs.

“Jo, why you sticking your nose in grown folks‘ business? Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping? What’s with all that racket over there?”

“Tm on my way to find you, Liz. Il be there soon. Shoot! My phone’s about to die, I gotta hang up. Liz.”

Lizetta, already worried, was left hanging as Joseph abruptly ended the call.

She couldn’t think of sleep anymore, quickly hopped out of bed, and tried to call Joseph back, only to find he had turned off his phone.

Lizetta hurriedly got dressed and dashed out the door.

She had recently moved to a new place, which Joseph didn’t even know about.

Lizetta ran out of the complex, hopped in her car, and called Edith, suspecting Joseph might have headed to Oakridge Heights.

Edith picked up quickly but said, “Ma’am, Joseph came looking for you before, and I told him you’re not at Oakridge Heights anymore. He probably didn’t come here.”

Frowning, Lizetta told Edith to let her know immediately if she saw Joseph.

After hanging up, she stared out the car window into the dark night, feeling a headache coming on.

Joseph was pretty sharp, but he was still just an eight–year–old kid, and the Dashiell family usually kept him under tight watch.
