Remington looked down at the woman in his arms, her life hanging by a thread, feeling as if he had swallowed a scorching iron.
How could he tell her that his findings had nothing to do with the West family, and that someone else was behind it all? She probably wouldn't believe him anyway.
After all, she was now ready to kill and face jail time rather than trust him to stand by her side again. Besides, he didn't want to give the West family and their daughter the satisfaction of seeing the Dashiell family humiliated.
"Liz, you're exhausted. Just sleep for a bit. I won't let anything happen to you," Remington said, his voice rough with emotion.
Lizetta's eyes, filled with hope and hatred, shattered in disbelief. But before she could protest or curse, her body succumbed to the emotional turmoil, and she passed out.
"Ha, it's not up to you. She needs to be taken away today!" Martin said, sipping his tea before looking up with a mild expression.
Remington's gaze turned deep and dark. "Sending Liz to jail is declaring war on me, Remington! The West family will gain nothing from this!"
Stella's head wound was still bleeding, causing her dizziness and nausea. She was only enduring this to provide evidence of Lizetta's attempted murder to the police. She wanted to see Lizetta's downfall, but to her frustration, Remington hadn't spared her a glance, nor had he offered any comfort. Now, he was fully committed to defending Lizetta, causing Stella to clench her fists in jealousy.
"Remington, what do you mean by that? Are you threatening our family? How do you expect me to swallow this insult?"
"Swallow it, even if you have to force it!" Remington replied coldly, his eyes devoid of warmth.

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....
