Female NovelEvelina's face drained of color, her lips quivering, clearly attempting to interrupt Remington.
But the man's gaze was icy, and Evelina, despite her mouth opening, couldn't utter a word under hisoverpowering aura.
"Remington, what does she want?" Barbara asked, her voice trembling.
The influx of information left her dizzy and unable to process things at once.novelbin
However, Martin had already pieced everything together, his anger boiling over. He pulled up Evelina,who was sitting on the hospital bed, and slapped her twice across the face.
"Not only did you find yourself a lover, but you also wanted the West family to raise some bastard childunknown to us! How could you be so cruel?"
Evelina's cheeks instantly swelled red, and with a shriek, she fell to the ground, hair disheveled.
"Evelina, you didn't want to give birth to a child with congenital defects, so you planned to use today'sopportunity for an abortion.
You've arranged it so that when you're taken to the hospital, Wilson, whom you've bribed, will performthe surgery. And he will tell everyone the child was saved.
Not only would you become my godmother's savior, but you could also continue pretending to bepregnant. All you need is for Dr. Wilson's cooperation at the time of delivery to bring a prepared babyinto the delivery room as planned. Dr. Wilson has confessed everything. Do we need to bring him hereto confront you?"
Hearing Remington's merciless voice, Evelina trembled all over, realizing it was all finished.
In just a few hours, how could Remington have found out everything!
She knew there was no use in trying to argue anymore; tears streamed down her face as she lifted herhead.
"What else could I do? The doctor said the child had defects. I'm a mother, and my heart aches too! Ikept it from you all and wanted to exchange the child for a healthy one from the West family. Isn't itgood as long as you don't find out the truth? It's also a comfort to my heart!"
Lizetta was stunned by Evelina's audacity.
She hadn't expected Evelina to dare pull off such a scheme. Evelina's twisted logic was unparalleled.
Lizetta looked at Martin, who, as expected, was so angry that his face turned pale and his body shakenviolently.
"Shut your mouth! You viper! Are you also planning to conspire with outsiders to poison me and takeover the West family fortune?!"
Evelina didn't say another word, whether she had actually planned such a thing with Frank or knew thatfurther explanation was pointless.
Martin rubbed his forehead and looked at Remington, "Remington, is the child really defective?"
Remington nodded, "Dr. Jones has been taken into custody. Godfather, you can ask him himself if youdon't believe it."
Martin closed his eyes, while Barbara, even more so, clutched her chest and collapsed onto the bed.
"Mom! Mom, don't scare me, doctor!"
Stella cried out in panic, and the room was thrown into chaos.
Remington gestured for Ray to come forward and take Evelina away, then approached Barbara toconsole her.

stay any longer, followed them out.
Evelina's complexion was ashen, her body weak, yet she glared at Lizetta with venomous, bloodshoteyes.
"I'm finished, but don't you get too cocky! Your wedding is ruined, and your groom disappeared on hiswedding day to tend to his old flame, you... mmph!"
Evelina was cut off as Ray covered her mouth.
"Ma'am, don't listen to her nonsense. Mr. Remington Dashiell rushed back here by helicopter,disregarding unsafe flying conditions, taking the risk just to make it back in time."
Lizetta's heart was sealed with concrete, utterly uninterested in hearing any of it.
She cut Ray off lightly, "There's no point in discussing this further."
"Ma'am."
The doctor went in to attend to Barbara, and at that moment, Remington also came out of the room.
He looked at Lizetta's indifferent face, he glanced at Ray.
Ray closed his mouth and said, "Mr. Remington Dashiell, I'll take her away now."
Remington nodded, and Ray, dragging Evelina, quickly left.
Lizetta turned to face Remington, "What are you planning to do with Evelina?"
