Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 974

“Heh. Cowardly? That woman doesn’t know the meaning of fear.”

Cassius let out a cold, mirthless laugh. Whether it was Margaret’s full-blown campaign to ruin Yolanda’s reputation online—trying to force her out of the entertainment industry—or the way she manipulated rumors and public opinion now, none of it was the work of a coward.

If anything, Margaret was reckless to the point of madness.

Remington shot a glance at Cedric, who immediately stepped forward and tossed a thick dossier onto the table. “Mr. Miller, I think you should take a look at this.”

Mr. Miller’s suspicions had been mounting for a while. Now, picking up the file, he began to flip through the pages. The further he read, the faster he turned the pages, his expression growing darker with every line.

But in Mr. Miller’s mind, while Margaret had clearly lost her head when she started spreading rumors about Remington, all she’d really done was publicize the truth. Surely that couldn’t be so bad?

He had barely finished speaking when Remington gave a sharp, humorless laugh.

“Meant well? Why don’t you explain what kind of good intentions those were?”

“Margaret and Stella are best friends, aren’t they? She just wanted to help her friend show off a little. Besides, Mr. Dashiell and Stella’s love story is touching—making it public can’t hurt, right? And the wedding…”
