Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 831

The room was empty except for the two of them, and it was clear that Stella no longer wished to play her usual role as the wise older sister.

With a mocking gaze, she declared, “Yes, you're absolutely right. I've fallen for Remington. I'm madly in love with him!”

Stella lifted her chin slightly, her eyes filled with defiance and challenge as she stared down Lizetta. She knew Lizetta hadn't moved on from Remington and wanted to provoke her into anger.

However, Lizetta's expression remained calm, even rolling her eyes at Stella's declaration. It was obvious to anyone what Stella was trying to do.

“Are you done?” Lizetta said, attempting to walk away as if Stella's words were nothing more than a minor annoyance.

Feeling disregarded, Stella blocked Lizetta's path once again, her face twisted in anger. “Lizetta, why are you even here?”

“That’s none of your business.” Lizetta replied.

Stella reached out to grab Lizetta again, “You’re divorced and still clinging to Remington. Of course, I have a say! Because I'm the one who's going to be the future Mrs. Dashiell!”

Lizetta chuckled, “Self-proclaimed? Do Fiona and Remington know about this?”

Their attitudes at the Dashiell family mansion had been quite clear, not showing Stella any favor in front of Lizetta. Listening to Stella's confident claims, Lizetta might have been confused if not for that day's clear rejection.

Lizetta thought Stella was delusional. If she were playing hard to get, why on earth would she have insisted on the divorce? It seemed utterly pointless.

As Lizetta tried to pull away again, Stella pressed something into her hand, saying, “Don’t think Remington’s gentle attitude means he still loves you. He’s just guilty over your lost child. Take a good look at what this is!”

Lizetta looked down to find a cufflink in her palm. It was quite exquisite, with a sapphire in the center surrounded by a ring of platinum, and it bore the glowing initials FJC & LZ - the initials of Lizetta and Remington's names.

This cufflink was a present Lizetta had given to Remington on his eighteenth birthday, a gift costing her $280, a sum she had saved over half a year by tutoring classmates to afford a custom design.
