Chapter 364 Kevin's face darkened with anger, a storm brewing in his gaze.

Evelina approached, linking arms with Elara and sighed heavily, "Mom, Dad, let it go. Lizetta has long moved past our childhood memories. If it weren't for trying to defend her honor, Remington wouldn't have gone to such lengths against our Hawthorne family. It's clear she never intended to help from the start.

But don't worry, I won't let our family fall. I've managed to secure a meeting with Mr. Grover from Crestview Trust through sconnections. I'm certain I can persuade him to extend a loan to us tonight, Evelina was exaggerating, trying to stir the pot.

Kevin, already stressed from trying to secure funding, erupted in fury and swung at Lizetta. "You're playing us! We wasted our affection on you as a child" Lizetta hadn't anticipated the physical lunge and was caught off guard at the moment. The blow was imminent.

But the expected pain never arrived. Yolanda, hearing the dispute from the room, rushed out just in tto grab Kevin's wrist.

"Ow! Let go!" Yolanda's grip was iron-tight, eliciting a cry of pain from Kevin Holding his wrist, she pushed him aside, stepping in front of Lizetta with a mocking sneer, "Dare to bring up Liz's childhood? Why not mention how theartlessly you abandoned her? Now, Evelina is your precious daughter, and the HawthGroup is hers to inherit. What does that have to do with Liz? Want Liz to take care of it? Fine, draft a will making Liz the primary heir Otherwise, drop the guilt tripprig Lettell you, I've got zero tolerance for jerks. Liz might respect you enough not to retaliate, but I don't share that restraint. Try anything like this agais, and I dislocate your armi After a few shoves, Yolanda finally released Kewis, who stumbled into a wall, his face a mask of livid embarrassment.

Yolanda turned to approach Lizetta, but Evelling, seizing the moment, grabbed a bowl of hot soup from a passing waiter and threw it at Yolanda "Yoli, watch out!" Lizetta, in shock, pushed Yolanda out of the way. Most of the soup had been splashed on Lizetta's sleeve, the scalding liquid trickling down *Liz Yolanda was horrified and quickly helped Lizetta remove her jacket. Thankfully, Lizetta's water resistant down jacket spared her from worse harm, leaving only a small burn on her hand.

"Evelina!" Volanda glared at Evelina, who smirked at Lizetta, “Lizetta, remember when you spilled coffee on me? Consider this payback" Chapter 364 Lizetta had previously promised her parents she'd help, but her sudden refusal must have been influenced by Stella. Perhaps she and Remington had another fallout.

If she couldn't have the man, why should Lizetta, the pretend heiress, stand a chance? What was she? Feeling a twisted satisfaction, Evelina linked arms with Elara and Kevin, heading towards the front room.

Yolanda was furious, but Lizetta's burn was the immediate concern She hurried Lizetta into the restroom, running cold water over the reddened hand. "Evelina's lost it! Does it hurt a lot?" Yolanda was frantic with worry.

Lizetta shook her head, about to reply when a familiar voice rang out, "Did she get burned? I have sburn ointment right here; please, apply it for her." Lizetta turned to see a woman of elegant beauty and gentle demeanor. She offered a tube of ointment to Yolanda from her purse.

Draped over the woman's arm was a dark gray men's cashmere coat. Lizetta recognized it as the one Remington had worn when he left that morning.

Her breath caught, the stinging burn on her hand now seemingly spreading to be Quat ? coincidence, to run into her rival in such a disheveled state. It was Stella. There, with Stella likely meant Remington wasn't far behind, especially since his coat was in her possession.
