Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1233

He figured he wouldn't even need to wait for the DNA results now.

Joy was undeniably alive. That dead infant was never their Joy to begin with.

"I kept a lock of that dead baby's hair. There's no point in hiding it anymore, Eartha."

Hearing this, Eartha realized Remington was entirely convinced of the truth, so she stopped denying it.

She propped herself up on the bed and scoffed.

"I suppose you aren't completely brain-dead. Yes! You're right. That dead infant wasn't Lizetta's. It was one I prepared in advance. I've always liked leaving myself a way out. I deliberately got a dead baby to swap with yours."

Her original plan was for Lizetta to die on the operating table, taking the child down with her.

But in that scenario, if Lizetta and the baby survived the initial surgery, the doctor couldn't just casually murder them in front of an audience.

Furthermore, the doctor refused to kill anyone for her.

However, having the doctor swap the baby during the chaos was easy enough to pull off.

To ensure she had a backup plan in case both Lizetta and the baby lived, Eartha arranged for the dead infant as her ace in the hole.

First, it gave her an exit strategy. Second, she wanted to watch Remington and Lizetta tear each other apart over the loss of their child.

Otherwise, with Remington constantly guarding Lizetta, it would have been nearly impossible for Eartha to find a chance to kill her.

"Where is Joy right now?!"

While Eartha was lost in her thoughts, her collar was violently seized.

Unable to suppress the raging emotions in his chest any longer, Remington lunged forward and grabbed her by the shirt.
