"I want to leave him, but he won't let me go! But I've already made up my mind to leave. I can see what you are up to. Instead of trying to test me and provoke me here, Ms. West, why don't you help me?" Stella was clearly taken aback by Lizetta's words, so much so that her stirring of her coffee halted abruptly.

"Help you?"

"Use the power of the West family to get me out of Zion City. Remington refuses to divorce, and even going to court would be useless. I'll leave for two years, Ms. West, and during that time, you can cultivate a relationship with Remington.

After two years, when I file for divorce again, I'm sure Remington won't hold on anymore. After we're separated for two years, even if he still refuses by then, the court will recognize that the marriage has indeed broken down and grant the divorce. It's a win-win situation. Will you help me leave?"

Lizetta reached out her hand towards Stella.

Lizetta wanted to leave, but she didn't want to involve Hogan like last time.

However, Stella looked at Lizetta's extended hand for a long time, with her gaze flickering, but she never took Lizetta's hand.
