Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1203

"Nelson, Bernice, Liz... you're here too."

By the time he turned back around, Conrad had wrestled his expression into one of calm restraint as he took a step forward.

Lizetta couldn't hide the raw disgust in her eyes. "We should be asking you that. How did you know we were coming to visit my mother today?"

She was admittedly losing her temper, her emotions spiking.

But she couldn't help it. Seeing Conrad's sickeningly fake performance of the grieving, devoted widower made her stomach turn.

If he hadn't stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Porter family just yesterday, acting like he and Eartha were the universe's greatest love story, she might have been fooled.

Seeing him hovering by his late wife's grave in the middle of the night, weeping silently, anyone else would have thought he was a deeply loyal, heartbroken man.

"Liz, how can you say that? Are you accusing me of knowing you were coming and waiting here on purpose?"

Conrad frowned at her, his lips trembling slightly as if her words had cut him to the core.

Lizetta thought he and Eartha were truly a match made in heaven. With the two of them constantly battling it out for the best actor award, their lives together must never be boring.

"Aren't you? Hah."

Lizetta scoffed openly. Conrad looked helpless and deeply wounded.

"Liz, I simply couldn't sleep after everything Eartha did. The guilt has been eating me alive. I felt so incredibly sorry for your mother, so I came to see her. To beg for her forgiveness."

The mockery on Lizetta's lips only deepened. "Forgiveness? If you actually felt a shred of shame, you wouldn't have the audacity to show your face at my mother's grave."

A flicker of calculated pain crossed Conrad's eyes as he took a frantic step forward.
