"Lizetta, who gave you the nerve to interrupt your mother-in-law? And where's Remington? He's nowhere to be seen," Hanna complained with embarrassment and annoyance.
Lizetta clasped her hands together, her voice calm, "Remi will be here any minute now, no need for you to worry."
She then turned her gaze to the two bodyguards trailing behind Hanna, suggesting, “Please, Mrs. Hanna Dashiell, proceed to the banquet hall to rest.”
The bodyguards were specifically tasked by Remington to keep an eye on Hanna, to prevent her from doing anything stupid.
Though Hanna was Remington’s mother and they hesitated to intervene based solely on her harsh words, Lizetta’s instruction was clear and they promptly stepped forward to escort Hanna away.
Holding back her rage, Hanna shot Lizetta a glare, her voice sharp, “All the guests have arrived, and there’s no sign of Remington. And you’re still here relaxing? Don’t you know you should be welcoming the guests?”
“I will, please go ahead,” Lizetta replied, her tone neutral.
With that, Hanna turned and stormed off, but Shirley lagged behind, sneering at Lizetta, “Married for two years and suddenly deciding to have a wedding? That’s quite the joke! Let me guess, Remi only agreed because of the baby, no wonder he’s not showing up.”
“Shirley, your mouth must've been pickling in a trash can for years; why else would it stink so much!”
Lucian walked over, grabbing Shirley by the arm and dragging her away.
Shirley was indignant but recalling the last time Remington had her drink hot sauce as punishment, leaving her with a swollen mouth and two weeks of diarrhoea, she didn’t dare linger.
“Lucian, Remi’s not here yet; why don’t you accompany Liz to welcome the guests?” Camille instructed, and Lucian nodded, not giving Lizetta a chance to refuse.

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....
