Outside the elevator.
As the doors closed, Cedric pulled his phone out of his pocket and spoke.
"How did I do, Mrs. Dashiell? Was my fighting spirit up to par?"
His phone screen was lit up, still connected to an active call with Lizetta.
Inside the hospital room, Lizetta held her phone, having heard the entire argument loud and clear.
Imagining the ugly, defeated expressions on Conrad and Eartha's faces as they scurried away, she felt a refreshing wave of relief wash over her.
She did not hold back her praise. "You did great. You definitely deserve a bonus!"
After hanging up, Cedric was just wondering how much of a bonus the boss would give him when a WhatsApp notification pinged.
He looked down, opened the app, and his eyes instantly widened into saucers.
Lizetta had directly transferred fifty thousand dollars to his account!
Earning this much pocket money just for running his mouth? He had to admit, his lips had never been this valuable before.
Honestly, cursing those people out felt amazing, and he had thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Next time, he would definitely keep up the good work. If he didn't infuriate the boss's wife's heartless father and two-faced stepmother enough to send them to the ER, it would be a blatant disrespect to this fifty grand!
Back in the hospital room.
By the time Remington pushed the door open, Lizetta was already holding her phone, watching a live broadcast.
It was a stream from Mirror Lake, where Andrea's car had plunged into the water, and the scene was buzzing with chaotic activity.
People posting real-time videos and hosting livestreams were everywhere, pushing the event to the top of the local trending lists.
This particular streamer had the camera pointed directly at the surface of the lake, where the car had completely submerged, while several strong swimmers were diving in to search for Andrea.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
