Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1158

Relieved, Lizetta shot Remington a mild glare and let him hold her hand.

She assumed they had gone unnoticed, missing the fact that Nelson had subtly glanced down at their entwined fingers multiple times.

Watching the two of them whispering and touching, Nelson's mustache twitched in quiet amusement.

Finally, the footage ended. The eldest son dragged himself off the floor and limped back to his father's side, looking thoroughly humiliated.

Nelson turned a stony gaze toward the Porter patriarch.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The patriarch's face was the color of ash, but he clung to his composure. He looked up, offering a fragile, weary smile.

"My old friend, I don't understand what you're trying to prove. We visited out of pure goodwill. When you collapsed, we were paralyzed with fear. What does this video prove? If you truly believe we were trying to kill you, call the cops. Have them arrest us. I just never imagined that after decades of brotherhood and my absolute devotion to this company, you would question my loyalty like this..."

He shook his head and clutched his chest, playing the part of a deeply wounded, unjustly accused martyr.

He didn't care if anyone bought the act.

As long as he maintained it was a moment of panic, the video couldn't definitively prove premeditated murder.

That was exactly why Nelson was airing it here instead of handing it to the police.

Knowing Nelson couldn't legally destroy him with the footage, his confidence returned.
