I'm not that delicate.” Remington didn’t say another word, took his gaze back, and briskly walked out with Evelina in his arms.
Evelina, nestled in the man’s embrace, secretly flashed a triumphant smile at Lizetta without making a scene.
Lizetta felt her blood turn to ice, her face losing its last bit of color.

“Yolanda, don’t chase them; let them go.” She had already becthe joke of Zion City four years ago. Only then did Yolanda run to Lizetta, who furiously glared at the remaining bodyguards.
“Joseph has fainted; aren't you going to cover and help?!” Her voice was urgent, genuinely worried something might happen to Joseph. Then, she felt a tickle in her palm, and Lizetta was startled, looking down: Joseph sneakily opened one eye and made faces at her.

Evelina held on, not wanting to let go, and Cedric said, “Ms. Hawthorne, the boss’ arm hasn't had the stitches removed yet from his previous injury.” Evelina immediately let go, her eyes filled with concern, “It's been a week; how cyour wound hasn't healed? Later at the hospital, have the doctor take a look too; I'm really worried.” Remington nodded slightly, catching a glimpse of the bodyguards carrying out Joseph, and then stepped into the car. This little brat, always such a good actor! Lizetta followed the bodyguards, holding Joseph’s hand, and once they left. the mall, she saw Remington bend over to get into the car, and the vehicle sped away.
“Pfft! In such a hurry, probably rushing to Evelina’s funeral!” Joseph couldn't hold back his laughter, shaking all over, which made the bodyguard stop in his tracks to look down.
Lizetta pinched the little guy’s hand, worriedly saying, “He’s in shock, quick! Get him in the car.” Once in the car, Lizetta let Joseph lean on her shoulder and asked him in a low voice, “What happened?” Joseph, resting his head on Lizetta’s shoulder, whispered the story to her.

He wanted Evelina to take off the bracelet, but she wouldn't cooperate, and the bracelet was too small; even the sales lady couldn't get it off after trying with foam and all.
Evelina also made ssnide remarks about Lizetta, and Joseph, unable to hold back, had someone fetch a hammer.
“Too bad my brother arrived too quickly; I didn’t hit the mark. Otherwise, | would've smashed it even if | had to break it, just not let her wear it! Who does she think she is? Liz, you're the only one | acknowledge!” Lizetta was touched inside, gently patting the kid's head.
