Ever since Lizetta returned to the Madden family, her relationship with her parents had grown distant and lukewarm. She had already stolen away their affection.
But Andrea was determined not to lose anywhere else. Sooner or later, she would reclaim everything that was taken from her.
With that thought, the chill in Andrea’s heart faded. Pressing a hand to her face, she spoke up, “Mr. Dashiell, this is an internal matter among Madden Media employees. Isn’t it a bit much for you to interfere, and even condone Lizetta attacking others?”
Remington didn’t spare Andrea a single glance, nor did he bother to respond to her foolish accusation.
Instead, he released Lizetta’s hand and addressed her directly. “Ms. Madden, I’m here to discuss the Starlight Group’s annual gala with you. Do you have some time now?”
Lizetta had no interest in dealing with Andrea any longer. She gave Remington a nod. “Of course. Let’s talk in the lounge.”
She raised her hand, but inwardly, she was faintly touched. She knew Remington’s excuse about the annual gala was just that—a cover. He must have heard about those videos and rumors being spread online, and had come all this way out of concern for her.
“All right,” Remington replied, his gentle gaze never leaving her, the very picture of someone willing to do whatever she asked, without hesitation.
The two of them strode off together, treating Laura and Andrea as if they were invisible.
Andrea, unwilling to give up, took a step forward and nudged Laura ahead with her. “Remington, if you’re here to talk about the Starlight Group’s annual gala, you should be discussing it with me. The manager just assigned this project to me. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Laura?”
She prodded Laura, giving her a meaningful look.
Remington stopped in his tracks and turned his head sharply toward Andrea. “What did you just call me?” His voice was cold, tinged with confusion.
Andrea had called him “Remington” once already, but he’d been preoccupied with Lizetta and let it slide. Now she was at it again.

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....
