He called Winnie immediately. The line connected quickly, but it rang endlessly without anyone picking up.
Remington's frown deepened, and his grip on the phone tightened.
Could it be...
Just as his suspicion began to crystalize into something terrifyingly clear, the call connected, and Winnie's voice came through.
"Mr. Dashiell, I'm so sorry. Mr. Ron was sound asleep, and I was terrified of waking him, so I didn't answer right away. Do you need something?"
Hearing Winnie's explanation, the frantic theories in Remington's head slowly began to settle.
"Where are you?"
"Sir, we're both at the West residence. After the news out of Tranquil Meadows broke, Martin and Stella West rushed over to Oakridge Heights and insisted on bringing us back to their estate."
"Alright. Take good care of Ron. I'll have Ray come see you later; cooperate with him."
Remington hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
He figured he was probably overthinking it. If Ron truly was Joy, the moment Eartha was compromised, her accomplices would have whisked the child away and hidden him somewhere completely out of reach.
But Ron was still at the West estate. He was definitely just letting his imagination run wild.
Even so, Remington still issued an order to Ray.
Once back in Zion City, Ray was to visit the West family home, meet up with Winnie, and secretly procure a strand of Ron's hair for a paternity test.
After giving the instructions, Remington raised his eyes.
"To the Madden estate."
His emotions were still violently turbulent. Right now, he just needed to see Lizetta as soon as possible.
Joey quickly pulled the car out onto the road, speeding toward the Madden family estate.
He had overhead Remington's end of the phone calls and had pieced everything together.

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....
