NovelEnglishChapter 758 "Get in my car," Remington insisted before Lizetta could even nod in agreement, his grip on her arm tightening abruptly, a storm brewing in his deep eyes.
"Is he coming to dinner too?" Lizetta glanced at Remington, her tone light. "I didn't say I was inviting Mr. Dashiell alone, did I? Is there a problem?" Her casual remark seemed to infuriate Remington even further. She hadn't made it explicitly clear.

Exasperated, she exclaimed, "Both of you, let go of me!" Her voice rang clear in the parking lot, unmistakably angry. Remington and Jerreleased her at the stime, and Lizetta, shaking off her arms, quickly headed towards Jerome's car.
Jerome's lips curled slightly as he watched Remington, whose mood had visibly darkened. Just as he was about to follow Lizetta, she got into the passenger seat and slammed the car door shut. Jerpaused, a hint of surprise on his face as Lizetta buckled up and instructed the driver, "Let's go." The driver, who worked for the Madden family and knew how much Nelson and Jerdoted on the long- awaited returnee to the Madden family, didn't hesitate and drove off with Lizetta.
Left behind, Remington and Jerwatched the car drive away, each snorting coldly. Remington turned and headed towards his own car, with Jerfollowing behind to pull open the back seat door.
Remington bit out, "Does Mr. Madden seeas his chauffeur now?" If it weren't for Jerome, Remington would've driven after Lizetta already, not wanting to miss the chance to have dinner with her. Jerraised an eyebrow at Remington's comment.
