Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 

“What if I just have to go out Lizetta fumed, trying to barge through. 

Two servants instantly squeezed together in front of her, forming a barricade of flesh, begging and pleading 

“Mrs. Dashiell, I’m a single mom, my kid’s dad is a deadbeat gambler and drunk, totally unreliable, and jobs are hard to come by. Have a heart, please.” 

“Mrs. Dashiell, you are the kindest soul, my mother’s half paralyzed at home, I can’t afford to lose my job.” 

Lizetta was left speechless. 

She once had a devil of a father who was a drunkard and gambler too, and a brother in a vegetative state. 

She wasn’t sure if these servants were spinning tales or not, but she instantly felt their pain, 

She’s always had a soft spot, and feeling suffocated, she turned around and marched upstairs. 

Lizetta scampered off to the study, fired up the computer, only to find the internet was dead as a doornail. Fuming, she stormed out of the study, bumping into Edith who was bringing her a fruit platter. 

Edith tried to reason with her, “Mrs. Dashiell, don’t butt heads with Mr. Dashiell. Just butter him up a bit, he really does care about you” 

“Caring about me by keeping me prisoner? Oh, I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude 

Lizetta rolled her eyes and reached out to Edith, “Hand over your phone, I need to use it.” 

Edith immediately shook her head, “Sorry, Mrs. Dashiell, didn’t bring it with me.” 

“I need to call Remington” 

Hearing this, Edith’s face didn’t even twitch as she fished out her phone from her pocket. 

“Oops, look at that, silly me, the phone was in my pocket all along. Let me dial it for you.” 

Edith dialed and handed the phone to Lizetta. 

A man’s deep and steady voice came through quickly. Is she behaving? What is she up to?” 

Lizetta chuckled, “Oh, she’s as good as gold, just sitting here cursing you to step in dog poop, get stuck in traffic every time you drive, choke every time you drink, trip over your own feet, have bad luck if you don’t smile, and lose a tooth when you do!” 

Lizetta let loose a tirade, not even halfway done, when a low, magnetic chuckle sounded from the other 

end of the line. 

The laugh seemed to vibrate through his chest, sending electric shivers straight to Lizetta’s ear 

She rarely heard him laugh with such pleasure, she thought he must be nuts 

Her annoyance grew, “What’s so funny?” 

“Mrs. Dashiell you are quite adorable” 

Remington’s laughter faded, his voice lifting slightly.

Cursing him so sweetly and cutely, not a hint of venom, what damage could it possibly do? 

Her heart, after all, was still tender towards him. 

With that thought, a softness seemed to crumble inside Remington too. 

He added, “The doctor said you’ve been too stressed lately. Just rest up at home, let Edith know whatever you want to eat. If the servants can’t make it, tell me, I’ll bring it home after work, or we can go out and eat together tonight.” 

He spoke softly, but Lizetta’s frown deepened. 

“Give me back the phone, let the servants let me out, I promise, I won’t leave for now, okay? I need to get in touch with Yoli.” 

She didn’t finish her sentence, as Remington interrupted.
