As his words fell, a brief hush washed over the crowd.
Lizetta met his gaze from a short distance away. Hearing him declare to the entire press that he was pursuing her sent her heart into an uncontrollable flutter.
He hadn't told her he was going to make their current relationship public.
Utterly unprepared, a furious blush rushed to her cheeks.
"Hmph! Scheming bastard! Does he think making a public spectacle will pressure me into saying yes?"
Nelson's displeased voice suddenly rang out beside her.
He leaned over slightly, casting a glaring look at the highly conspicuous Remington before pulling back with a dark scowl.
"Is he really that confident he can win over my precious granddaughter? Announcing it to the world so desperately—isn't he afraid of making a fool of himself when he fails?"
After venting his frustration, Nelson noticed the silence in the car and looked over.
Seeing his precious granddaughter still staring at that obnoxious man outside, a soft blush on her cheeks and looking utterly smitten, he let out another loud scoff and snapped at the driver.
"What are you staring at? Drive! Are you waiting for the reporters to swarm us?"
"Right away, sir," the driver replied promptly, instantly speeding off.
Outside, after that brief silence, the crowd exploded. The reporters grew downright frantic.
"Mr. Dashiell, are you implying a future marriage alliance between the Dashiell Group and the Madden Group?"
"Word is you have a previous marriage. Do Mr. Madden and Ms. Madden mind?"
"Do you still have feelings for your ex-wife? Isn't it unfair to publicly pursue Ms. Madden while your previous marriage was kept a secret?"

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....
