Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 672

He laughed aloud, "Mr. Temple and Mr. Madden, you're worrying too much. My friend here is actually someone Liz knows too, so they'll get along just fine. As for joining the dance troupe, with Liz's talents, she can get in anytime. But the chance to study with an international dance master like Master Dories is rare. I've heard that Master Dories is considering retirement after this world tour. If that's the case, it's best for Liz to go abroad and study with him as soon as possible. Once she returns home, with her reputation skyrocketing, wouldn't her joining Mr. Madden's troupe bring even more to the table?"

Hogan made his case with logic and eloquence. Clearly, he was a master of persuasion. Lizetta turned to Hogan, "This friend of yours, I know her?"

"Yep, it's Megan Daisynes. If I'm not mistaken, you two were in the same class in high school, right?"

Lizetta's eyes lit up slightly, "It's Megan? What's she doing running off to Astoria to study finance?"

From Lizetta's tone, it was clear that she and Megan had been friends during their school days.

Jerome's gaze darkened slightly as he glanced at Hogan. It wasn't that he opposed Lizetta going abroad to further her dance studies, but they had only just discovered Lizetta's origins. They hadn't even had the chance to acknowledge their relationship or untangle the truth of the matter. How could they let Lizetta travel to Astoria alone at such a time?

Unable to contain herself, Andrea interjected, "Grandpa, I think Dr. White makes a good point. If Ms. Gardenia loves dancing that much, it would be a shame to miss this opportunity. If you truly have a rapport with Ms. Gardenia, you should support her. How about we, the Madden family, sponsor Ms. Gardenia's study abroad expenses?"

As soon as Andrea finished speaking, Jerome and Nelson turned their gazes toward her, both looks carrying a hint of intimidation. Andrea's smile gradually stiffened, and the atmosphere in the room grew somewhat awkward.

Timothy had only managed to speak at the beginning, finding no opportunity to interject thereafter. He glanced at Hogan, then at Jerome and Nelson, clicking his tongue internally. He felt sorry for Remington. If Liz was a tough nut to crack, her family seemed even more challenging. Timothy felt it might be time for him to exit the scene and go back to advising Remington to give up sooner rather than later.
