Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 

“Grandma never mentioned this to me, she didn’t even ask me!” Lizetta tugged at Remington’s sleeve, hoping he’d believe her this time. 

Remington nodded, “Grandma turned down the White family.” 

It made sense to Lizetta. Her grandma truly loved her and at that time, she was just eighteen, and Hogan was disabled from a car accident. 

Grandma felt sorry for her, turned down Helen, and didn’t tell her about it, which was understandable. 

“If Grandma already said no, why would you think I’d drug you over this?” 

“Because a couple of days after Grandma refused, Hogan’s father, Lester White, came to my dad. The White family offered more chips on the table, and my father agreed. My mother said she had asked for your opinion.” 

Remington thought back to four years ago, when Lizetta was about to turn eighteen and he was twenty–four. 

He took over the Dashiell family at twenty and founded the Starlight Group in the first year. Only he knew the effort it took to grow the Starlight Group into a behemoth in just a 

few years. 

At that time, he was busy with his career, mostly traveling, and didn’t have the energy to pay attention to many things at home, nor was he the first to know. 

He remembered rushing to make time to come back the day before Lizetta’s eighteenth birthday after working overtime for half a month straight. 

That night, it was Hanna who told him about the White family’s marriage proposal. 

She said Nathan had agreed, and she had informed Lizetta, who said she’d think about it. 

was furious at the time, blew up at Hanna, and had a nasty fight with Nathan, but he flat–out refused the marriage proposal.

He planned to tell Lizetta the next day, so she wouldn’t worry, that her brother wouldn’t let her marry just anyone or get bullied. 

But then the company had another crisis, and he rushed off to deal with it, not returning home until late. 

Before he could tell Lizetta, that incident happened that night. 

Later, he checked – the drinks he had that night were all given to him by Lizetta, and only she had access to his room.

Plus, the torn paper packet with drug residue was found in the trash bag from Lizetta’s 

room. 

He felt an unprecedented sense of betrayal and sadness, thinking Lizetta was so scared that she drugged him to avoid the White family’s proposal, to avoid marrying a disabled 

man. 

Now it seemed, Hanna had lied. 

Hanna never really talked to Lizetta about it. 

“No one ever asked me about it,” Lizetta said coldly, wiping away her tears.
