Whatever the scenario was, it wasn't something Lizetta wanted. But why only these two?
"Maybe he just didn't want to waste police resources over something so trivial? After all, my husband could solve it in a heartbeat. Stop trying to drag me into your little fantasy world," Lizetta replied, her gaze icy as she locked eyes with Evelina.
Seeing Lizetta's calm and serene demeanor, Evelina clenched her fists, a mocking smile creeping onto her face.
"Oh, how naïve you are. Do you really trust Remington that much? The thing with the West family was a huge deal for him. Barbara was nearly killed because of that letter. Do you think he'd consider it a small matter? That he'd be worried about wasting police resources?"
"Evelina, cut the drama. You're trying so hard to sabotage our relationship, and it's almost pitiful. Especially since we're about to have our wedding. But don't worry; you're not invited.
As for who's behind today's incident, we both know the truth. Evil deeds will always backfire. It's getting cold; I'd advise you to retreat to your burial and cover more earth on you to keep warm, okay?"
Lizetta gave Evelina a brief glance before turning away, no longer engaging with her. As Evelina watched Lizetta's departing figure, her eyes darkened.
Remington escorted Martin to the side room before coming back to Lizetta, "I need to head back to Starlight Group. Want the driver to take you home?"
Lizetta nodded, "I'll go check on my brother first, then head back."
Remington, habitually, reached out to gently pat Lizetta's head. Standing anxiously to the side, Eileen stepped forward, her expression a mix of apology and worry.
"Mr. Dashiell, I really had no idea how this happened. It wasn't me who leaked it. About my husband's illness."
Eileen was genuinely concerned that with the secret out and Barbara's near miss, Remington might not keep his promise.
But Remington's gaze remained calm as he nodded at Eileen.
"This isn't on you. Your husband's kidney transplant is scheduled, latest by next week. Since there's no need for you here anymore, I'll arrange for someone to take you and your daughter back to Celestia."

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
