Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1140

Lizetta was incredibly familiar with the ring, of course. It was her wedding band.

She just never expected that he had been carrying it with him every single day.

Remington raised an eyebrow. "Is that so surprising? Not only do I carry the rings, but I also keep our marriage certificate with me at all times."

The marriage certificate was safely tucked away inside his briefcase.

Lizetta was utterly speechless.

Remington stood up, gracefully dropping to one knee beside the bed, and took her hand in his.

Slowly, millimeter by millimeter, he slid the diamond ring onto her slender finger, letting it finally return to its rightful owner.

Once the ring was perfectly in place, Remington bowed his head and pressed a tender, lingering kiss to the diamond before looking back up at her.

Lizetta gazed back at him. They shared a knowing smile, and in perfect sync, she opened her hand, intertwining her fingers tightly with his.

The next day.

In Tranquil Meadows, the headquarters of the Madden Group was buzzing with chaotic energy.

The company was holding a pivotal shareholders' meeting to determine the future of the enterprise.

For the past few days, the media had been flooded with reports predicting that the Madden Group was about to change hands, and the internal atmosphere was a boiling pot of anxiety.

The employees were well aware that Chairman Madden was gravely ill, and the Madden family lacked a definitive heir. To make matters worse, the only bloodline of the Madden family, the recently found Florence Madden, had also met with a tragedy.

That left only Jerome. But as the adopted son of the Madden family, despite having managed the company's operations for years, he was severely isolated and powerless without the Chairman's backing.

It was nothing like the Porters. Mr. Porter himself was a board member, and his two sons and son-in-law all held executive positions, granting them a massive collective share of the company.

Under these circumstances, swaying a few stray shareholders would be child's play for them.

"I'm afraid the company is really going to become the Porter Group after this."
