Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 

Lizetta just stepped out of the restroom, didn’t head back to the private room, and Instead took a breather by the deserted rockery in the courtyard, 

She looked up to find the city’s starry sky smothered by a foggy haze of lights, not a single star in sight after a good long search. 

Totally bored out of her skull, she then heard a voice from behind interrupting her solitude. 

“Lizetta? What are you doing here?” 

She turned around to find Evelina and Hanna arm in arm, standing a couple of steps away like they were as thick as thieves. 

Lizetta’s brows furrowed just a tad. She had only stepped out for some fresh air because she heard Evelina and Elara were heading home for dinner. 

Had she known she’d bump into them everywhere, she would’ve shot Hamilton a message and bailed early. 

She gave Hanna a polite nod, “I was here grabbing a bite with friends; we’re just about to head out.” 

She started to walk off, but Hanna’s voice stopped her cold, “Halt right there!” 

They were blocking her path, so Lizetta had no choice but to stop and face Hanna, “Something else?” 

Hanna frned, “Don’t you know any manners? Can’t even greet your elders properly?” 

Lizetta found it quite laughable. With Remington and Evelina talking marriage, did Hanna still expect her to play the doormat bride like in the old days? 

“Sorry, but how should I address you now?” 

“What’s with that attitude!” 

Hanna was fuming, hand raised to slap Lizetta, who caught Hanna’s wrist mid–air, “Your attitude towards me dictates my attitude towards you. Is that so hard to grasp?” 

Hanna’s face was a thundercloud; Evelina stepped in to pull her back. 

“Mrs. Dashiell, please calm down. Sis, Mrs. Dashiell’s been worrying over Joseph’s health and isn’t feeling great herself. Could you maybe not rile her up on purpose? After all, she is our elder. I know you’re upset seeing me with her, but if you have any issues, take it out on me.” 

Hanna pulled her hand back, patting Evelina’s. 

“Eve’s the sweetheart here, always understanding and considerate, the match for Remington, the one qualified to be Mrs. Dashiell.” 

The look she shot Lizetta was full of disdain. Evelina’s cheeks blushed but she shot Lizetta 

smug look on the sly. 

Lizetta watched coolly and let out a laugh, “So all that brown–nosing only got her ‘the one qualified“? From the way you two are getting on like a house on fire, I thought for sure and aced it.” 

Evelina’s expression stiffened, while Hanna sneered. 

“I’m just keeping Eve humble. There’s plenty of room for her to grow, and once she’s part of the family, I’ll teach her step by step. At least she’s not a lost cause like you, after all that teaching and still in the negatives!” 

Lizetta couldn’t be bothered to argue, and she nodded, “Sure, can I go now? 

She had an air of nonchalance as if she couldn’t care less. Hanna and Evelina were even 

more irked, Hanna with a furrowed brow.
