Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 458

“Tomorrow, the police will be here to take her away.” Remington stepped forward, taking Lizetta’s hand in his.

Her hand was a bit cold, but his large, warm palms enveloped it, gently rubbing warmth back into her skin.

Lizetta’s mind was still on Evelina, asking, “The police?”

Although what Evelina had done was despicable, she hadn’t committed any serious crimes.

Why had Remington called the police?

There was a sharp look in Remington’s eyes as he said, “The case with Daniel had Evelina’s fingerprints.”

He had previously sent Cedric to dig into it, but Evelina had dispatched people out of town. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With Evelina’s deeds exposed today, Remington had Ray find April.

April, seeing Evelina had lost all her power, flipped sides and spilled everything Evelina had done.

Lizetta felt a chill, remembering Daniel; even though it had been a long time, the thought of him still sent shivers down her spine.

Remington tightened his grip on Lizetta’s hand, his voice soft and reassuring.

“Don’t be afraid.”

It was then Lizetta realized he was still holding her hands. She tried to pull away, when Stella’s voice suddenly came from behind.

“Remington, my mom will be alright, won’t she? I just reunited with her today, and haven’t even had a chance to really spend time with her.”

Remington turned to her, reassuring, “She’ll be fine.”

Lizetta tried to pull away, but Remington, as if anticipating her move, tightened his grip.

Unable to pull away, Lizetta inadvertently attracted Stella’s gaze.

She responded with a polite smile, “Ms. West, calling me by my name is fine.”

Stella was taken aback for a moment, seeming to not expect Lizetta’s aloofness and hurt by her indifference. She reached out her hand again, forcing a smile.

“Liz, are you upset with me because Remington had to rescue me and missed the wedding? I’m sorry, please don’t be mad at Remington. It was my fault for getting a high fever out of nowhere. Remington had to take me to the hospital, which delayed the time.”

At that moment, a child walked by with his mother.

The child caught a glimpse of Stella’s extended hand, screamed, “Ah! Mommy, that’s scary, the lady’s hand looks so scary!”

Stella’s face turned deathly pale, looking flustered toward the child.

Before Lizetta could react, Remington let go of her hands and took Stella’s injured hand in his, pulling her behind him.

Remington turned to face the child, his intimidating aura causing the child to bury into his mother’s embrace, crying.
