Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 

Joseph sneakily recorded the scene where Remington lost his cool In Riverbend Abbey’s lounge. 

Watching Hilary and other ladies get chewed out by Remington and leave with their tails between their legs, Lizetta felt a mix of soumess and swelling in her heart. 

Hilary and Mrs. Frost were Hanna’s close friends, who also used to frequent the Dashiell family. 

Every time they visited Riverbend Abbey, Hanna would make a point to summon Lizetta. 

Even though there were servants at Riverbend Abbey to serve water, offer fruit, and tidy up the table, Hanna always bossed Lizetta around, and Mrs. Frost and company loved to join in on the fun. 

They treated Lizetta like a servant. Four years ago, she was just a fresh faced 18 or 19–year–old, easy to push around. 

Holding onto pipe dreams of spending her life with Remington, she didn’t dare to tick off Hanna, so she was often run ragged. Now, seeing Remington stand up for her, Lizetta couldn’t help but feel a little thrill of happiness. 

Lizetta was zoning out with her p 

phone when it suddenly rang. 

Seeing it was Joseph calling, she quickly picked up. 

“Liz, did you really split with Remington?” 

Joseph’s voice was anxious, and Lizetta slightly furrowed her brow because she could hear a lot of noise on the other end, including car homs. 

“Jo, why you sticking your nose in grown folks‘ business? Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping? What’s with all that racket over there?” 

“Tm on my way to find you, Liz. Il be there soon. Shoot! My phone’s about to die, I gotta hang up. Liz.” 

Lizetta, already worried, was left hanging as Joseph abruptly ended the call. 

She couldn’t think of sleep anymore, quickly hopped out of bed, and tried to call Joseph back, only to find he had turned off his phone. 

Lizetta hurriedly got dressed and dashed out the door. 

She had recently moved to a new place, which Joseph didn’t even know about. 

Lizetta ran out of the complex, hopped in her car, and called Edith, suspecting Joseph might have headed to Oakridge Heights. 

Edith picked up quickly but said, “Ma’am, Joseph came looking for you before, and I told him you’re not at Oakridge Heights anymore. He probably didn’t come here.” 

Frowning, Lizetta told Edith to let her know immediately if she saw Joseph. 

After hanging up, she stared out the car window into the dark night, feeling a headache coming on. 

Joseph was pretty sharp, but he was still just an eight–year–old kid, and the Dashiell family usually kept him under tight watch. 

Him sneaking out in the middle of the night to find her? Hanna would never approve. 

So, the kid must have slipped out on his own, which was worrisome, to say the least. 

After a moment’s hesitation, Lizetta dialed Remington, who was still at the office. 

When the ringtone sounded, he didn’t look twice, thinking it was Kevin calling again after several attempts. 

The ringing stopped briefly, but then started up again, and a flash of annoyance crossed Remington’s face. 

But as his gaze fell on the screen, his imitation vanished, replaced by disbelief. 

Was Lizetta actually reaching out to him? 

Remington’s breath hitched, and he immediately swiped to answer. 

“Liz?” 

Lizetta hadn’t expected the first call to go unanswered, nor for Remington to pick up so quickly the next time around. 

And oddly, she felt like he sounded rather eager, as if he treasured this call. 

Caught off guard, she didn’t respond at first 

Then, the man’s voice came through Again, softer this time. 

“What’s up? Did something happen?” 

Lizetta snapped back to reality, “Yeah, Joseph slipped out of Riverbend Abbey and called to say he was coming to see me, but now ! can’t reach him. I’ve checked, and he hasn’t gone to Oakridge Heights, and he probably doesn’t know my new address either. I suspect 

he might have gone to the old neighborhood where Yoli used to live. I’m on my way to look for him now, but it’s quite a distance.”
