Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 385

Hearing the word "stand-in" escape from the man's thin lips, Lizetta felt her nose twitched with a sudden sourness.

Her lips quivered as she stared at Remington, and her voice was choked with emotion.

“That year, why did you bring me into the Dashiell family and why were you so kind to me when my brother knelt at the doorstep of the Dashiell family with me on his back; was it because you were thinking of Stella?

The orange-flavored candy you gave me, was it because it was Stella's favorite candy?”

She had never wanted to confront the truth directly.

Because such truth was too cruel and unbearable for her.

It was something she didn’t even want to face herself; she still wanted to retain some last bit of dignity and respect.

But she never expected Remington to be so detestable.

He had found Stella but still refused to let her go and divorce her.

Feeling her suppressed emotions burst out like a flood at that moment, Lizetta gave the accusations that were almost tearful.

Remington's face was gloomy; with his lips tightly sealed, he remained silent, maybe because his thoughts had been exposed.

His grip on her arm was very strong, as if he was showing that he had heard her, and he was not indifferent.

Even though his heart was not calm, he remained silent.

No rebuttal, no explanation.

Feeling utterly heartbroken, Lizetta managed a bitter smile that brought tears streaming down her face.

She thought she was too foolish; even at this moment, she still hoped that he would tell her it wasn't as she thought.

“Say something! Have you got nothing to say?”

Lizetta struggled fiercely, but Remington didn't let go. With a strong pull, Lizetta fell into his arms; she was held tightly against him.

Unable to break free, she started hitting him on the back.

You didn’t told me the truth last time, as you didn’t even mention Stella; it’s because you felt guilty, isn't it?!”

Lizetta questioned, while stepping back with each word.

She wanted to get away from Remington, as she did not want to be deceived by him any longer.

Look at him; even when he was lying, he still looked so handsome, steady and reliable, with the charm to make people trust him and be moved by him.

Utterly detestable.

She didn’t realize she had backed up to the edge of the bed.

“Ah!”

Lizetta exclaimed as she missed a step and tilted sideways, about to fall off the bed.

Like a leopard, Remington moved swiftly, leaning forward to catch her and pull her back.
