"Mama D, as mothers, you have to see what's happening here. Lizetta, she's not just ignoring me, her own mom, but she's letting one of the help push me around. Look at me, I'm all bruised up from it... Let go!"
Daisy struggled once more, her hand swiping across Zora's face in the process.
Hanna's face turned stormy as she barked at Zora, "Let her go!"
It wasn't that she felt sorry for Daisy; she just thought the whole scene was embarrassingly tacky. If Daisy wanted to leave, Hanna thought she should just disappear quietly. As the matriarch of the Dashiell household, Mrs. Hanna Dashiell had always carried an aura of authority.
Zora flinched, panic flashing across her face, ready to release Daisy.
Lizetta quickly interjected, "Don't let her go!"
Zora, acting on instinct, tightened her grip. With her strength from years of caregiving, Daisy had no chance of breaking free.
Daisy's eyes burned with desperation as she appealed to Hanna again.
"Mama D, it's my fault for not raising my daughter right. She mistreats me, her own mother, and doesn't even respect you, her mother-in-law. I'm so ashamed to face you..."
"Well, then don't," Lizetta cut in coldly.
She then turned to Hanna, who was about to explode with rage, and said with a smile, "Aunt Hanna, you must've heard about me and Remington filing for divorce. If you really can't bear to let me go and still want to act as my mother-in-law, I could reconsider the divorce application?"
"Are you threatening me?!" Hanna's face darkened.
Lizetta just smiled lightly, "Just a friendly reminder."
A reminder that since she was no longer going to be her daughter-in-law, it was best to stay out of her business.
Hanna gave a cold laugh through gritted teeth and turned away from Daisy's complaints, addressing Lizetta instead.
"Stella saved you; she's your lifesaver. If you have any decency, you'll go thank her properly and take care of Stella!"

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....
