Her eyes blazed with fury, while the man forcefully gripped her chin with his other hand.
"Lizetta, don't forget, your brother's still laid up in the hospital. Once we're divorced, I'm under no obligation to take care of him, let alone pay a fortune for his medical team."
Lizetta hadn't expected him to use her brother as leverage at a time like this.
Her brother had only recently started responding well to a new treatment, and clearly, Remington had calculated that Lizetta wouldn't give up now.
Gasping for breath, Lizetta managed, "I can cover the medical team's expenses."
"Think I need your money, Lizetta? This isn't about choice! Get in the car; we're going home!"
"Despicable!"
How could she comply? She lowered her head and bit down hard on Remington's finger. She didn't hold back, channeling all her strength, fury driving her to nearly sever his finger.
The taste of blood spread in her mouth, but Remington didn't flinch. The man sneered, "I've always been ruthless, just never towards you before! Lizetta, if you don't want your brother to lose his last hope, get in the car!"
Yet, Lizetta lifted her head, pushing Remington away and stepping back.
Wiping the blood from her lips, she retorted, "Remington, if my brother knew you were using him to threaten me, he wouldn't want me to submit because of him!"
Today, she was determined to divorce.
She could always plead with Fiona about her brother's situation later; Lizetta believed she wouldn't turn a blind eye.
Remington hadn't expected her to sacrifice her brother's treatment over a divorce. Redness flashed in his eyes, his knuckles cracking with tension.
Lizetta pulled out her phone, her hands trembling as she made a call. She was calling Miranda, the agent she had worked with before when she sold her song rights.
"Miranda, did you hear about Mr. Dashiell's grand wedding at the Starlight Group today?"

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....
