Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 465

Remington said that for Grace, Hanna practically sees Stella as a daughter of her own, and she might even wish it was Stella who had come back all those years ago.

And looking at it now, it seemed spot on.

Hanna was holding Stella in a way that was both protective and tender, really as if she was her own daughter.

Thinking back to how she had tried to win Hanna's favor for years, yet had never earned a single word of kindness, Liz couldn’t help but find herself utterly ridiculous.

It was clear that she and Hanna were never meant to be mother and daughter-in-law.

“I’m just sitting here, what could I possibly do to her? She’s almost thirty, not some eleven or twelve-year-old girl. How could I bully her?”

Hanna turned pale with anger after Liz’s blunt retort.

She looked at Remington with annoyance.

“Remington, you’ve seen it, time and again, how she treats me? Sharp-tongued, lacking any sort of decency or humility. How do you expect me to like her? She's nothing but a wild child, not a patch on Stella!”

Liz turned her head, smirking at Remington.

Stella was in tears, and she waited for this man to unleash his fury.

However, Remington, furrowing his brows, only said to Hanna.

“Mom, you’re accusing my wife without getting the whole story first. If you want her to respect you, you have to be fair to her.”

Hanna choked on her words, and her face turned even sourer.

Liz hadn’t expected Remington to defend her in such a situation, but she still turned her head away when he looked at her, refusing to respond.

With Stella around, she and Remington couldn’t have a moment's peace.

Since she had decided to leave, nothing mattered to her anymore.

“Auntie, please don’t argue with Remington over me, Liz and I were just chatting.”

Stella, wiping away her tears, took Hanna’s hand and spoke up.
