Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 

Hogan’s eyes were cool behind his glasses 

“Liz had no clue about the proposal early on, nor later, but somehow she finds out right when you guys are about to sign the divorce papers and she and I are headed to Astoria. Mr. Dashiell, you gonna tell me that wasn’t planned?” 

Of course Remington did it on purpose, he said coldly. 

That thing from four years ago, I haven’t even settled the score with you, and you better stay away from her now!” 

The friendly look on Hogan’s face had long vanished, “The White family made a legit proposal, what’s wrong with that? Four years ago, Liz wasn’t your property” 

“Ha, a legit proposal? Sounds nice! But you knew the deal with her situation in the Dashiell family, didn’t you? Grandma already said no, then you went behind her back to my parents, how’s that any different from forcing a marriage?” 

Only Grandma and he in the Dashiell family would look out for Lizetta. The Whites made their move while he was away in Zion City, got shot down by Grandma, and then went after his parents. 

Was it not obvious that Nathan and Hanna would push Lizetta out front when their interests were at stake? 

Hogan’s handsome face turned pale as he averted his gaze from Remington’s sharp, knife–like stare. 

But Remington didn’t let up, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his thin lips. 

“Liz was under eighteen back then, you sent her abroad to take care of a disabled person and called it a proposal. The White family sure has guts. Mr. Hogan, you think because you’re broken and ruined, other people’s daughters are less than you and should be dragged down with you?” 

Hogan’s fists clenched suddenly, he was well aware his mother had messed up with that move back in the day. If not for that, he wouldn’t have been hiding his identity all these years. 

He felt guilty and feared Lizetta’s resentment. 

Remington’s eyes narrowed as he added coldly. 

“But she’s not just any girl, she’s my Liz from the Dashiell family! She’s mine, Remington’s, and if the White family touched her, they’d face the consequences!” 

Even if Hogan had been in perfect shape, it wouldn’t mean the White family could just waltz in and take Remington’s woman. 

Hogan also narrowed his eyes, picking up on something else in Remington’s words. 

“The hero behind the White family’s withdrawal from the Veridia market seems to be you, Mr. Dashiell.” 

Three years ago, when the White family was breaking into the Veridia car market, it was a golden opportunity, and everything smoothly until they were suddenly met with obstacles. 

After a couple of slip–ups, they missed the prime time and had to pull out of the Veridia market last year, losing a lot. 

Remington didn’t deny it, and Hogan nodded, but then said.

“The White family has paid its dues, and I’ve just received Liz’s forgiveness. Liz is twenty–two now, she has the right to choose who she wants to be with in the future. Mr. Dashiell, I hope you won’t be too hypocritical, and when the time comes, you’ll choose to respect and let go.” 

With a slight nod, Hogan stepped aside and walked past Remington. 

His handsome face darkened as he kept calling her Liz, his brow furrowing slightly. 

What did Hogan mean by asking him to check on Lizetta’s health just now? 

Damn it, he got sidetracked and didn’t get a clear answer. 

Remington walked off towards the garden to look for her. 

There, Lizetta had separated from Hogan and was wandering around the garden to clear her head.
