Chapter 369
Because Yolanda burst in like a whirlwind and made a scene, Mr. Grover left the room in a huff.
Kevin and Elara hurried after him. In the private room, Evelina, overcome with rage, screamed, “Ouch!
Lizetta!”
She flipped the table, sending plates and glasses crashing to the floor. It wasn’t long before the commotion drew the attention of other patrons.
Fueled by collective irritation, Evelina and her parents were promptly escorted out by the restaurant’s security team.
It was a scene of utter embarrassment.
The Hawthornes causing such a scandal surely tanked their chances at securing future investments.
Back home, Kevin was livid. He gave Evelina a piece of his mind, blaming her for escalating the situation by throwing the soup.
He stormed out, leaving Evelina burning with resentment. It was all Lizetta’s fault, after all!
She had only meant to stand up for her father, but now she was the one being blamed. She vowed not to let Lizetta get away with it.
Evelina was determined to make Lizetta suffer just as she had. She picked up her phone, her voice sinister.
“You need to do exactly as I say. If you succeed, you’ll be rewarded handsomely. But if you refuse, I’ll spill your secrets to your boss. Betrayal is betrayal, no matter how often it happens.”
The next day.
Lizetta was up early, ready to head to her dance troupe.
After a quick breakfast with Yolanda, they set off together. Just as they reached the lobby, Wilma approached them with two burly bodyguards.
“Mrs. Lizetta Dashiell, Mrs. Hanna Dashiell sent me to bring you this soup. You mustn’t refuse it today; she insisted I watch you finish it.”
Lizetta’s face was stone cold. She couldn’t believe that she even shattered the bowl yesterday, and Hanna was still persisting.
Despite moving out of the Dashiell family villa, Hanna was still able to corner her here. How relentless.
“I already made myself clear. If anyone dares bring that soup near me again, I’ll dump it on them! Wilma, fancy a soup shower this morning?”
Lizetta glared at Wilma, who seemed unphased and signaled the bodyguards behind her.
“Mrs. Lizetta Dashiell won’t cooperate; you’ll have to assist her.”
The two bodyguards moved in, ready to fasten Lizetta’s shoulders and force her to take the soup.
“What the heck! Seriously? Pretend I’m not here, huh? I’ll teach you a lesson today and let you know treating a pregnant lady should be the same as treating your own mother!”
Yolanda, amused in exasperation, rolled up her sleeves, dismissively flicking her chin at the bodyguards.

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....
