NovelEnglishChapter 208 “Are you sure you can transfer 3 million in one go?” Lizetta froze. There were daily limits on bank transfers, and to send 3 million all at once, she'd need to get permission from the bank in advance, which she hadn't done.
She snapped, “Then send your driver to the bank right now, and I'll get a replacement card sorted ASAP” “I don’t have tto wait on you getting your act together.” Lizetta finally got the picture. Remington was just dragging his feet, clearly not interested in taking the 3 million or going through with the divorce.
She felt like a complete idiot for being so busy and busting her butt this past month, totally played for a fool by him.
Her eyes reddened, “Remington, are you messing with me? You have no intention of lettinggo, do you? You promised, you even signed the divorce papers. How can you be such a jerk? How can you do this?" She'd already cried her eyes out once, and now her eyes were brimming with tears again, swollen and bloodshot.
Remington's gaze fixed on those angry, despairing eyes. He felt as if an iron grip had seized his heart, making it hard for him to breathe..

He looked away, unable to bear her gaze, and adjusted his tie before speaking.
“You're so desperate to get divorced, is it because of Hogan?" Lizetta retorted angrily, “Keep Hogan out of this! Do you think everyone's like Evelina, shamelessly homewrecking?” Seeing her defend Hogan, and recalling the image of her crying under Hogan's coat, made the veins on Remington's forehead pulse.
Suddenly, he reached out, snatching Lizetta by the waist and pulling her into his arms.
He looked down at her, “You get all fired up just mentioning him, and you say it's not about him?” Lizetta gave a bitter laugh, tears streaming down her face.
“So, not only do you look down on me, but you also think I'm loose, just like Shirley said, a despicable, shameless woman with no morals.” Her sad, tearful face etched itself into Remington's memory, his pupils constricting as if to imprison her image deep within.
He barely cracked a smile. The feeling’s mutual. In your eyes, I'm no good either.” Lizetta opened her mouth but was at a loss for words. After a moment, she managed to speak.
“But you are a cheater, as clear as day. The proof's in Evelina’s belly, and there's no denying it!* Remington's expression darkened for a moment. He had said before, the child wasn't his.
But obviously, she didn't believe him.
Remington closed his eyes, fearing he might lose control and hurt her.
But Lizetta suddenly reached out, grabbing his sleeve. Her face pale, lips quivering, she looked at him with pleading eyes.
“We've lost all trust in each other, staying together is just mutual torture. Remi, please letgo. Consider it one last act of kindness for me, okay?”

Remington opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unreadable, as if shrouded by layers of mist concealing his emotions.
He saw her eyes full of pleading hope and felt as if by simply shaking his head she would shattker ike glass in his arms. She had always been clever, understanding and knowing exactly how to hit where it hurts, to make him cave.
Suddenly, Remington released his hold on Lizetta's waist and said coldly.
“Lizetta, once we're divorced and you leave the country, don’t cback.”
Lizetta bowed her head, tears falling.
She choked back sobs as shestawly sat up from Remington's embrace and moved to the side, only managing a soft “okay” after a while.
“Let's go.” Remington commanded in a cold voice.
