“Liz, I know.”
Remington interrupted her gently. His voice was calm, but heavily laced with a strained hoarseness.
Lizetta was taken aback by his response. She paused, stunned.
“You... you know? How could you...”
Judging by his tone, he had already pieced the puzzle together.
Did that mean Ron truly was Joy?
Her heart pounded violently against her ribs, tears instantly flooding her eyes.
A dreadful premonition gripped her.
Something must have happened to Ron, otherwise Remington wouldn't sound so incredibly grim.
“I began suspecting it when I left the precinct this morning. I called Winnie, and she told me she had taken Ron back to the West mansion. Everything seemed perfectly normal, so I dismissed the theory. Still, I ordered Ray back to Zion City to grab the boy for a paternity test just in case.”
Remington briefly explained the situation, his voice a low hum.
Lizetta's breath caught in her throat. “And then?”
Her throat was bone-dry, sheer panic consuming her.
“But I can't reach Winnie anymore! Did something happen to him?”
“Yes. Ray just called in. Both Ron and Winnie have vanished. It's highly probable that they were snatched the moment Eartha was arrested.”
Lizetta had put him on speakerphone the moment the call connected.
Hearing this, she and Nelson exchanged a devastating look, reading the exact same horrific realization in each other's eyes.
Ron had to be Joy!
There was no other explanation for such a damning coincidence.

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....
