He lifted his hand, and Cedric immediately handed over the tablet. With a swift tap of his slender fingers, Remington played the video.
A secretly recorded video was displayed, capturing the moment of the altercation when Evelina suddenly dashed out, screaming alongside Hanna as they stumbled towards the stairs, only to be heroically pushed away by Yolanda.
The evidence was irrefutable. Martin’s expression darkened, unable to defend his stance.
Stella stood up, her voice soft and soothing, “Dad, it was indeed Ms. Yolanda who saved my sister-in-law. We ought to show our gratitude.”
She then turned to Remington, “Remington, my dad was unaware of the truth and worried about my mom, which led to his rash behavior. I apologize on his behalf. How is Ms. Yolanda? I’ll make sure to bring a generous gift to personally thank her for risking her life to save my brother’s only child.”
Stella was understanding and considerate.
But Lizetta found the situation amusing. Yolanda was her friend.
She was here to seek justice for Yolanda. Did Stella not see her standing right there?
She chuckled and spoke before Remington could.
“Well then! It’s still Ms. West who speaks reason. Let me thank Ms. West on behalf of Yoli first. The West family’s posthumous child is precious indeed. I’m eager to see just how sincere the West family is.”
Stella looked at Lizetta in astonishment. She hadn’t expected this reaction from Lizetta.
Wasn’t Lizetta supposed to feel insulted by the West family’s attempt to make amends with money?
Lizetta gave Stella a smile, “It was Ms. West who suggested it. Why the surprised look now? Weren’t you just paying lip service without any intention to act?”
Stella hurriedly shook her head, smiling, “You’re Remington’s wife, right? May I call you Liz? Liz, please don’t misunderstand. I was merely contemplating the best way to express our gratitude to Ms. Yolanda.”
Seeing the conversation veering off-topic, Remington interjected, “We can discuss this matter later.”
It was his way of giving Stella a way out.
Lizetta thought she would feel hurt; but her heart was numb, barely registering any emotion.

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....
