Chapter 175

Yolanda had clearly had a few too many, looking all wilted and like a sorry mess. But she perked up when she saw Lizetta, and clenched her fists in anger.

“That damn poser, who deceived everyone with his ‘national heartthrob* act, with a heart smaller than the tip of a needle!” After listening to Yolanda’s rant, it took Lizetta a while to figure out what had happened.

Turns out, after Remington had whisked her away, Cassius had given Yolanda a hard time, not letting her leave and demanding compensation for damages, Yolanda wasn't one to back down, and Cassius was a spoiled brat. They cto blows, starting with fisticuffs and ending up at the drinking table, both getting plastered. Yolanda ended up injuring Cassius.

Now, Cassius had called the cops on Yolanda for property damage and assault.

“Liz, just leave it. If Cassius thinks he’s tough, let him lockup for life! I'll spend the night in the cell, drawing circles and cursing him till sunrise.” Yolanda was adamant about Lizetta not getting involved, but Lizetta felt both regret and guilt.

She had gone out with Yolanda that night, and it was because of her that Yolanda got into it with Cassius. How could she just abandon Yolanda? She contacted a lawyer, but things were complicated because Cassius had provided surveillance footage of Yolanda and her crew trashing the winery, and since Yolanda had also damaged his pretty face, which caused him to delay a photo shoot, he was hell-bent on not settling.

He was a Sterling family scion, and the police, wary of the Sterling family’s influence and seeing that Yolanda didn’t have a leg to stand on, refused to grant bail.

Lizetta called Cassius, trying to apologize calmly.

“Mr. Sterling, I'm the one who messed up your event tonight, so I'm reaching out on behalf of Yoli to apologize and to compensate for any loss.” She € was cut off before she could finish.

“Why are you apologizing for her? Do you even know what she did?” “What did she do?” Feeling puzzled, Lizetta sensed from Cassius’ tone that Yolanda must have done something else to him.

Cassius was fuming, but couldn't quite spit it out.

He remembered the drinking contest with that woman, and how they'd both gotten drunk and somehow ended up in bed, nearly going all the way.

Not only had she taken advantage of him, but at the crucial moment, she went berserk, kicking him off the bed.

He was left dizzy from the fall, and before he could react, she pounced on him like a tigress, accusing him attempted assault and then beating him black and blue.

of His first kiss and almost his first twere nearly taken; on top of that, he got thrashed.

He had never endured such humiliation in his life! 1/2 ing like spitting blood, Cassius said with an Icy voice, “Unless Yolanda gets on her knees, offersa drink, and admits her wrongs, there will be no talk of settling! Hiss!" Cassius winced as he pulled at the corner of his mouth, and his composure slipped with the pain.

With his face darkening, he just hung up.

When Lizetta tried calling back, Cassius had already turned off his phone.

Lizetta couldn't possibly ask Yolanda to kneel and beg for mercy that just wasn't in her nature, not even if her legs were broken.

With no other choice, Lizetta called Remington, but his phone was unreachable, too. Thinking he must have gone to see Evelina after she left the hotel, she hailed a taxi and headed to the Hawthorne family estate. Indeed, Remington had gone to see the Hawthornes.

When he arrived, Evelina was still making a scene.

With a tooth knocked out and both her face and tooth aching, how could she just let it slide? As Remington walked in, Evelina was sobbing in Elara’s arms.

Elara, feeling sorry for her, was applying an ice pack on her face while angrily confronting Remington.

“Remington, Eve was fine when she left the house, but Lzetta beat her up! You owe us an explanation today!” Yolanda looked at Remington with tear—swollen eyes, and pleaded silently.

Remington was unfazed, “What kind of explanation do you want?”

Elara demanded furiously, “You bring Lizetta here now,make her apologize to Eve,and let Eve slap her back!” With a chill flashed in Remington's eyes, he let out a low scoff and looked do
