Chapter 233
It took a long grilling before Lietta finally pieced together the whole story.
So here’s the scoop. Right after she left the hospital, Yolanda gol into n tiff with Evelina.
Yolande called the cops atmight away, claiming she was being cyberbullied and that someone was sent to cause a ruckus at the hospital for a shakedown,
She even flashed the smartphone that tall dude used for his livestream in front of Evelina, giving her the fright of her life.
It turned out that Evelina got all antay, totally fell for Yolanda’s trap
Worried the cops might dig up dirt, she had someone try to swipe the phone back. But Yolanda was on her toes, and the thief didn’t get the phone. Instead, Yolanda ended up catching them red–handed.
The cops showed up in the nick of time, and the phone–snatcher spilled the beans about April right then and there.
Digging through the phone, the cops nabbed the livestreaming tall guy and found a money trail leading straight to April.
This time, Evelina had cooked up a storm with her planned exposé and slander. There’s no way she’s wiggling out of this one!
“We haven’t been able to reach Jolin and the other two. Ms. Gardenia, do you still want to press charges for extortion?” the cop asked
Lizetta
Jolin and the other two were whisked away by Remington, who also said he’d take care of things for Lizetta.
Even if Lizetta wanted to claim extortion against Jolin, there was no concrete evidence, and besides, Jolin was her own mom. At most. she’d get a slap on the wrist.
Lizetta shook her head, “No need, thanks.”
Officer Lionel said, “Alright then. We’ll further investigate the defamation case involving Evelina and her agent April, and we’ll keep you posted.”
Lizetta and Yolanda exchanged a knowing look, both with a glint of triumph in their eyes.
After all, Evelina’s never–ending shenanigans had been a pain, and getting some payback felt pretty damn good.
They thanked him and were about to leave, but Officer Lionel had a word of caution for Yolanda.
“Ms. Yolanda, you’ve got some moves, but next time, prioritize your safety. We don’t encourage baiting criminals like that. Go get that injury checked out.”
“You’re hurt?”
Lizetta was shocked, and Yolanda reluctantly showed her right hand, hidden up her sleeve.
“Just a scrape, no biggie”
It was indeed just a scratch, but Lizetta’s heart ached for her.
“You better listen to the officer, okay?”
“Sure, I will,” Yolanda reassured her with a smile.
She figured a few days in the slammer for Bitch Evelina and her shady agent was well worth the minor scrap
But then a rookie cop approached and whispered something to Officer Lionel.
Officer Lionel’s expression shifted slightly, and he frowned at Lizetta and Yolanda
Lizetta’s gut told her something was off, and sure enough, Officer Lionel said, “Preliminary questioning suggests April acted alone and Evelina was unaware. Plus, someone’s posted Evelina’s bail. She’s already been released.”
Lizetta and Yolanda’s brief moment of joy was suddenly frosted over.
“What the heck? I’d love to see who’s so eager to bail out Evelina!”

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
