Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 934

In the Car.

Lizetta and Yolanda were nestled in the back seat, with a giant teddy bear taking up a significant chunk of space beside Lizetta. Yolanda had just found out that this bear was yet another gift from Remington, and it made her palms sweat with unease.

It was one thing to deal with a heartbreaker, but a heartbreaker pretending to be sincere? That was a whole different story.

With Remington's smooth-talking ways, Liz didn't stand a chance against his charm offensive.

"Liz, are you and Remington...?" Yolanda started hesitantly, glancing over at her friend. Lizetta caught her eye and gave Yolanda's cheek a playful pinch.

"Don't worry about it. I'm not going to fall for his tricks that easily."

There wasn't much going on between her and Remington at the moment. She had merely agreed to give him another chance, but there was still a long way to go before anything serious happened.

For now, if Remington wanted to make her happy, she'd let him try. But if he ever made her unhappy or brought negative vibes, she'd have no problem showing him the door.

She had her family, the entire Madden clan, as her support system. The risk was low, and she wasn't afraid.

Besides, the idea of accepting Remington’s advances just to irk Stella was tempting enough to give it a shot.

"Really? From what I see, Badass Remington is like a new man. He's practically turned into everyone's wingman. Don't let him fool you, Liz!" Yolanda insisted.

Lizetta nodded along, but before Yolanda could continue, Remington's tall figure emerged from the villa and quickly approached the car.

Yolanda tried to keep her cool and went silent.

He reached the car but didn't head to the driver’s seat. Instead, he opened the door on Lizetta's side.

With a casual arm resting on the window, he bent down to address Lizetta.

"Liz, it's cramped back there. Why don't you take the passenger seat?"

The big teddy bear was indeed hogging a lot of space, but Lizetta and Yolanda were petite enough to fit.

But then...

Ten minutes later.

“There’ll be plenty of big names at this party—directors, producers, and famous actors. It’ll be great for networking, and Margaret, you can join Liz and keep her company.”

From the driver’s seat, Remington passed an invitation to Yolanda.

It was for Mr. Temple’s birthday bash three days from now. Yolanda wanted to decline, but...

The Temple family’s event was highly prestigious, a golden chance to make connections.

Darn it, it was hard to say no.

“Liz has been away from Zion City for a while, and people tend to gossip. Ms. Miller and Ms. West will be there too, and I can’t always be by Liz's side. I'd feel better if you could stick with her and look out for her a bit more.”
