Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 691

Lizzy frowned and pushed the phone closer to Remington when he didn't reach out to take it.

She repeated firmly, "You can leave now. Just tell Fiona you've delivered the message."

As Remington took the phone from Lizzy's hands, his fingertips accidentally brushed against hers. Unexpectedly, Lizzy recoiled sharply and stepped back.

Remington's expression darkened, but Hogan's eyes gleamed with a sly light as he stepped in front of Lizzy. He smiled politely at Remington, but his words were laced with provocation. "Liz made herself clear, Mr. Dashiell. Liz and Mr. Dashiell are divorced now and have no relationship whatsoever. Liz doesn't want to bother you anymore. It's best not to force her, considering her previous reluctance to wake up was a result of Mr. Dashiell's insistence. You haven't forgotten the psychologist's advice, have you?"

Hogan's mention of the divorce and the psychologist was strategic. He knew Remington's presence here meant he had sensed something. He wanted to infuriate Remington, hoping he would lose control. That would only make Lizzy despise Remington more.

However, Hogan was disappointed. Remington merely glanced at him with cold disdain before turning his attention back to Lizzy.

"What did he mean by his apartment? He's been entangled with some woman, and now she's vanished without a trace. Do you know about this?!" Remington's voice was grave, revealing his concern. Despite Ray's efforts, the woman from the parking lot remained missing for a day. Either Hogan had sent her out of Zion City, or worse, she was dead. There was definitely something amiss.

Lizzy was taken aback by his direct gaze. "How did you know I agreed to go abroad with my senior?" She hadn't told anyone about her decision except Hogan.

Remington shot Hogan a cold look before stepping closer to Lizzy. "Why would you agree to stay in Hogan's apartment instead of going home after being discharged? Liz, think about it. Was this really what you wanted? Did you feel this way before undergoing therapy with Daphne?"

Lizzy stepped back, overwhelmed by his imposing aura and resonant voice, which inexplicably drew her into his reasoning. Yet, as she tried to remember, her mind was a blur. She couldn't recall how she agreed to go abroad or to stay at Hogan's apartment at all.
