Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 391

The woman blinked in confusion, then shifted her gaze between Remington and Lizetta.

Having suddenly figured out what was going on, she hurriedly waved her hands to Lizetta and said,

“Oh dear, I think there’s been a huge misunderstanding. Mr. Dashiell hired me to pretend to be Stella!” the woman hurriedly explained, waving her hands for emphasis.

Lizetta stared at her, with astonishment written all over her face, before turning to Remington with a puzzled look.

“She’s not Stella?”

Remington’s lips twisted into a bitter smile, “I wish she was. But I couldn’t find her.”

The woman, eager to clear the confusion, quickly added, “Mrs. Dashiell, my name’s Eileen. I am not Ms. Stella West.”

Seeing her nervousness and how she remained standing, Remington gestured towards a chair, “Please, take a seat.”

Gratefully, Eileen sat down and began to unravel her story, “I’m an orphan, and I fell seriously ill when I was just a teenager and lost all my childhood memories. About four months ago, Mr. Dashiell found me, believing I might be the lost family member he’d been searching for.

I was over the moon, thinking I’d finally found my family. But after a DNA test, it turned out I wasn’t the person he was looking for.

Mr. Dashiell mentioned that Stella’s mother had been searching for her daughter for her entire life, and now, she’s on her deathbed. He didn’t want her to pass away with that regret, so he asked if I could pose as Stella.

Truth be told, Mrs. Dashiell, I was desperate for money. My husband was diagnosed with kidney failure last year and needed a transplant. We have a young daughter, and I couldn’t bear the thought of her growing up without her father.

Waiting for a donor kidney is like waiting for a miracle, and we were scraping by just to cover the medical bills.

Mr. Dashiell offered to cover the surgery if I agreed to help him, and I simply couldn’t refuse. So, I followed Mr. Dashiell back here, and that’s the whole story.”
