Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 538

"Remington, thank you for whatever reason you did to protect my mom's reputation."

Remington simply said, "I've got things to do."

As he turned to leave, Stella took a step after him. "Remington, I can't go to work at the company until after my mom's funeral."

He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Stella.

Stella was about to remind him to take care of his health when she heard him say, "You don't need to come to work at Starlight Group anymore."

Stella was stunned, panic setting in. "Why... why?"

She looked at him, those eyes of his always held a distance when looking at others, but seemed to soften unknowingly when they landed on her.

Stella had always thought she was special, but now she could see, Remington's gaze was truly cold.

Towards her, there was still no complete trust, was there?

Even without any evidence, even after her mother had completely disassociated her from any wrongdoing before she died, Remington still harbored doubts. Could they never return to how things were before?

This sent Stella into a panic, tears sliding down her cheeks again.

Remington's tone remained indifferent, "I'm very busy, and following me around, you won't really learn anything significant. At Starlight Group, you'd only be handling trivial matters anyway.

With Barbara's situation, even with cover-ups, there will always be people who find out the truth. There will be plenty of rumors in Zion City for a while.

After the funeral, you should consider studying abroad. Discuss it with your family; if you agree, I can make the arrangements."

With that, Remington didn't linger any longer and quickly walked away.

His tall, cold figure vanished, leaving Stella in disbelief, unable to accept what had just happened.

He actually wanted to send her abroad.

She looked at Martin, "Does he want me gone? Does he not want to see me ever again? He... Ah!"
