Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1155

But there was no rescue.

The Porter patriarch and his sons were frozen, utterly paralyzed by the shocking turn of events.

The cold cuffs snapped shut. Camera flashes erupted in a blinding strobe effect.

Eartha scanned the room in a total breakdown, her eyes finally locking onto Conrad, who stood rooted in shock.

"Conrad! Honey, please tell them! Tell them I have nothing to do with this!"

Conrad stared at his handcuffed wife, his mind short-circuiting on the officer's words.

Andrea had surrendered? Andrea had confessed that Eartha was the mastermind?

How could that be?

Seeing his wife crying for help, Conrad snapped out of his daze and rushed forward, blocking the officers.

"There must be a mistake! My wife is the kindest woman on earth. She even rescues stray dogs! She treated Andrea like her own flesh and blood, and she has been nothing but tolerant toward Lizetta. She could never order a hit on Lizetta! You can't just take her. Are you from the local precinct? I know your captain. Just give me a second to make a call..."

He adamantly refused to believe the nightmare playing out in front of him.

The officer stared him down with a blistering look of disgust.

"Mr. West, the facts are absolute. We are acting in full coordination with the Zion City precinct. Whether this becomes a joint jurisdiction case is a matter for later, but calling the captain won't save you. More importantly, the victim in this conspiracy is your own biological daughter. Do you really feel no shame in obstructing justice? Don't you want the truth for your own child? Or are you part of the cover-up?"

The officer's reprimand echoed loudly in the room.

The cameras at the door zoomed in, recording every humiliating second.
