Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 962

“Oh? And what sort of rumors are we talking about? If you know it’s all just gossip, shouldn’t you, Mrs. Laura, be more concerned about disciplining the employees who spread it behind people’s backs? Instead, you’re telling the victim to step aside? What’s next—let everyone think Florence Madden is hiding from work out of guilt?”

Remington pressed forward relentlessly, and Laura’s face had drained of all color.

She waved her hands hurriedly. “No! Of course not, I swear I meant well. Now that Mr. Dashiell is on his way, those ridiculous rumors will fall apart, and naturally, it’s only right for Miss Madden to lead the project.”

She immediately pulled Andrea over and said, “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. We apologize.”

Andrea kept her head down, jaw clenched, eyes burning with resentment she tried to hide.

But she knew as long as Remington was here, there was no way she was getting the upper hand today.

With a sniff, she forced herself to speak up as well.

“Liz, I wasn’t trying to steal the project from you. If you misunderstood, I apologize. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t bother. With an apology that reluctant, I really can’t accept it. Let’s have Mrs. Madden come over and clear the air face-to-face,” Lizetta replied coolly.

Andrea bit down hard on her lip, then bent at the waist and gave Lizetta a deep bow.

“Liz, I’m sorry.”

If Eartha actually did show up, she’d probably just scold Andrea and that would be the end of it—pointless, really.

Lizetta couldn’t be bothered to drag things out any further. She stood up, looking down at Andrea.

“Next time, try calling me something else. We’re really not that close.”
