Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 971

Stella was caught completely off guard—she still had no idea what was happening.

It was Margaret who had called and asked her to come over, and now Stella was trying to make sense of it all. Maybe Mr. Miller and Remington had something to discuss, and Margaret, catching wind of it, had secretly tipped her off so she could sneak in a meeting with Remington.

But as soon as Margaret approached Remington, she sensed something was off about him. The look he gave her seemed almost mocking, as if he found the whole situation amusing.

“Remington?” Stella’s voice wavered, uncertain.

Remington’s gaze cooled as he turned away, making it clear he couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge Stella, let alone explain anything.

An uneasy feeling twisted in Stella’s chest, and just then, another car pulled up outside.

When she saw Cassius step out, her heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t forgotten what happened last time at the private club—how she and Margaret, along with Shirley Dashiell, had been trapped in that suite, unable to leave after the scandal about Yolanda exploded online.

Now, standing here in front of the West family’s house, she felt an uncanny sense of déjà vu.

Could it really be happening again?

Her nails dug into her palm as anxiety crept in.

Remington glanced at Cassius, then strode toward the West family estate without a word.

As Cassius walked past, he shot Stella a sidelong look. “Stella, you and Ms. Miller seem to be getting awfully close these days, huh?”

Cassius had always gotten along well with Quentin West, and after Quentin’s untimely death, when Stella returned to the family, Cassius had treated her with nothing but courtesy. She hadn’t expected his tone to turn so sharp and sarcastic today.
