Chapter 229
Feeling wronged?
How could she not feel wronged? She was framed for four years.
That night, she didn’t do a thing, yet overnight, she became the laughing stock of Zion City’s high society.

She was turned into someone who's been pointed at by thousands, labeled as ungrateful, scheming, and insatiably greedy.
Back then, she thought she could handle being misunderstood and badmouthed by everyone, as long as her brother believedher.
But he didn’t. He looked at her the same way, and cast her into hell, never to return.
She had no one to share these grievances with.
Now he was ready to believe her, but she didn’t need it anymore.

She cracked a smile and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve been slandered for four years, seen as the stain on yourreputation, Remington. Now that we’re divorced, | don’t have to play the villain anymore.”

After all, she’d endured everything, deserved or not.
She had already gotten through it and didn’t want to reopen old wounds for others to
gawk at.
Lizetta pushed away from Remington, gracefully sliding off his lap, and said with a smile. “Still, thank you. After all, you chose tobelieve me before finding out the truth. That’s some consolation, | guess.”
Remington felt a sharp pang in his heart and grabbed Lizetta’s hand, his brow furrowed.“I'm sorry. | should’ve cleared this up sooner. If only | had stayed back then to listen to you more, it wouldn’t have...”
