Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1264

"Step on it," he commanded.

Ray didn't say a word, simply flooring the gas pedal.

Ten minutes later, the car screeched to a halt outside the West family mansion, followed closely by a convoy of blaring police sirens.

The commotion drew out several wealthy neighbors, who peered curiously toward the West property.

As Remington marched toward the entrance, Stella ran out, clutching a cashmere shawl tightly around her shoulders.

Seeing Remington's icy, murderous aura, flanked by his bodyguards and the police, her eyes widened in shock.

"Remington, what is the meaning of this? My father is already sick with worry over Ron's disappearance. He just managed to fall asleep. If you have business, it can wait. Don't disturb him."

Remington didn't even acknowledge her. He simply brushed past her and kept walking.

Panic flashing in her eyes, Stella reached out to grab his sleeve.

"Remington, what are you doing—"

Before her fingers could graze his jacket, Ray stepped in, blocking her path with a mockingly polite smile.

"Ms. West, your family is quite peculiar. Your little boy goes missing, yet none of you seem to be out looking for him."

Stella frowned, pasting on a look of deep distress.

"Of course we're looking! My father and I personally went to Oakridge Heights and the Dashiell estate to demand answers yesterday. You were the ones who refused to see us. Where is Ron? Did you bring him back?"

Ray hadn't been able to intercept Ron before they left the West mansion.

It was true that Martin and Stella had marched over to Oakridge Heights to demand the boy. When they were stonewalled, they went straight to Fiona Dashiell.
