Remington's face turned icy in an instant. With a furrowed brow and sharp eyes, he commanded sternly.
"Get out!"
Stella's face drained of color, her eyes reddening with the sting of humiliation.
"I-I'm sorry, I'll leave now, oh!"
As she turned, her movements were frantic and clumsy, causing her to bump her head against the doorframe.
The documents she was carrying scattered across the floor. She immediately knelt down to pick them up, tears streaming down her face.
Lizetta, of course, could hear Stella's distinctive voice over the phone.
At that moment, she recalled their encounter at the airport, where Stella mentioned she had been working closely with Remington at the Starlight Group for the past two months.
It dawned on Lizetta that Stella had been positioned by Remington's side in the company.
Remington always kept his professional and personal life separate. In the past, to foster a closer relationship between them, Fiona had arranged for Lizetta to work as a junior clerk at the Starlight Group's CEO office.
However, the moment Remington saw her at the company, his displeasure was evident. Later, he summoned her to his office and gave her a thorough scolding.
Had it not been for the insistence of the family matriarch, Lizetta would have been promptly expelled from the Starlight Group by Remington.
But Stella, who hadn't pursued further education over the years, was now working in the president's office at the Starlight Group. It was clear who had arranged this opportunity for her.
Lizetta felt a wave of relief that she hadn't fallen for Remington's smooth talk and ended up hopelessly devoted to him.
She scoffed, "It seems Mr. Dashiell is too busy to discuss matters with me now..."
Hearing her mockery, a vein throbbed on Remington's forehead, but before he could explain, Lizetta had already hung up.
Stella, crying while gathering her documents, sported a noticeable bump on her forehead from the collision, looking pitiful.
She hoped Remington would come over to assist her, providing an opportunity to speak well of the West family once more.

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....
