Chapter 238 Remington's brows were knit together in a dark frown. That twhen the White family cknocking to ask for Lizette hand, you said you told her and she was considering it, right?” He blindsided her by dredging up something from four years ago, and Hanna was caught off guard, her fingers nervously pinching each.

other.

“Of course, that’s how it was. Why would you suddenly ask about that?” “No! You never told Lizetta back then, and about the drug that night, don’t tellit was also your doing?” Remington pressed her with a heavy voice, determined to clear up the past today.

He hadn't expected to catch Hanna and a few other ladies bad mouthing others. He knew Hanna wasn’t exactly Lizella’s number one fan, but he never thought she'd take it this far “What are you on about, Remington? You're my son, I'd move heaven and earth to give you the best of everything. Livetta’s got nothing going for her, why on earth would i drug you and help that ungrateful girl out? It must have been thist wolf in sheep's clothing Lizetta who drugged you!” Hanna fired back, her brows furrowed in anger.

“Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Has Lizetta been feeding you stories again? She's on the verge of divorce and still can’t keep still, trying to drive a wedge between us!” Remington's gaze was fixed on her; it was clear as day that Hanno disliked Lizetta.

With that in mind, it didn’t seem like Hanna's style to drug someone.

His voice was firm, “You still haven't answered my question. Why did you lie and say Lizetta knew?” Hanna rolled her eyes, “Why else? Your dad had already given his word to the White family.

But who knew, you still blew up at your dad. After that scandal, Helen's family didn’t want her anymore, and it all fizzled out. | never brought it up with Lizetta again after that.” Hanna couldn't fathom what spell Lizetta had cast on Remington that made him keep siding with that girl against his own family! Remington's eyes were still on Hanna, “I hope that’s all there is to it.

Hanna frowned, feeling an inexplicable chill.

Remington’s voice tumed icy, “Lizetta and | are not divorced yet, she’s still my wife. If anyone dares to trash-talk her again, I'm not going to stand by, and that includes you, mother!” Hanna's face went pale, “What are you implying? What are you going to do to your own mother? Haven't you rebelled enough against your elders for that woman?” But Remington was already walking away, and the servants moved in to console Hanna.

She was helped to sit on the sofa, her chest heaving, her complexion turning a ghastly shade of blue.

A small figure hid outside the window, ducking back and darting to his room- Pph Remington stepped out of Riverbend Abbey and immediately instructed Ray over the phone.

“Look into that night from four years ago. Don’t miss a single detail.

His fingers tapped on his knee as he spoke with a deep gaze, “Focus on the servants who were in and out of Liz's room that night, the ones who took out the trash.” The paper sachet with the powdered drug didn’t just magically appear in Lizetta’s trash can.

Finding the person who tampered with things meant getting closer to the real culprit.

Who drugged him and why? He needed to get to the bottom of it That evening.

Lizetta lay in bed, turned on sprenatal music on her phone, and set it on the nightstand, ready to sleep, when Whatbeeped twice.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a video from m Joseph Lizetta had been too busy to visit Joseph much lately, but the siblings still kept in touch every day.

Joseph should be asleep by now, what could he possibly be up to? With a smile in her eyes, Lizetta opened Whatand played the video from Joseph, only to pause, slightly startled by what she saw.
