Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 539

Liz frowned, instinctively stepping back as the man approached.

That step froze Remington in his tracks, darkening his already stern face.

"Liz, come here. I'll take you for your prenatal checkup," he said, barely concealing his anger as he reached out to her.

Before Liz could respond, Yolanda crossed her arms and said, "Oh, Mr. Dashiell has a moment to spare? With your busy schedule, you still find time for Liz, who's just lost her mom. We really shouldn’t trouble you, after all, Liz isn’t your concern anymore."

After her comment, Yolanda gave Hamilton a significant look.

Hamilton immediately lifted the sign he was holding, waving it at Remington.

But in the next second, Remington grabbed the sign and tossed it in a perfect arc into a nearby trash can.

Yolanda glared at Hamilton, her look clearly asking, "How could you be so useless?"

Hamilton shrugged innocently, "I didn’t expect him to actually do something about it. Mr. Dashiell is so ruthless; no wonder Liz is ditching him even while pregnant!"

"Ruthless? Do you know what he’s best at?" Yolanda, forgiving Hamilton's fumble, chimed in.

"No idea."

"Juggling two hearts at once."

The two mocked Remington while Liz silently bit her lip.

In the past, Remington's friends had sneered at her too.

But the man, with a stern face, ignored Yolanda and Hamilton, his gaze fixed on Liz, the pressure in his eyes immense as he repeated, "Come here."

However, Liz's compliance in the past was because she saw him as a brother, a husband, someone she could trust and rely on.

Catching it instinctively, Hogan watched as Remington scooped Liz up and headed towards his car.

"Remington! Have you no shame!" Yolanda yelled, about to chase after them, but Ray blocked her way.

"Ms. Yolanda, the lady is carrying Mr. Dashiell’s child. It’s his right to take care of his woman and child. What’s shameful about that?

As for you, Ms. Yolanda, if you’re not keen on acting and prefer matchmaking, I know a few agencies. Shall I introduce you?"

Yolanda clenched her fists, visibly angry, but she couldn't overpower Ray.

And with that, Remington carried Liz into his car and drove away.

In the car, Liz sat emotionless, not bothering to struggle or argue, knowing it was pointless.

She appeared exhausted, as if even glancing at Remington was too taxing.
