Hanna immediately protested, "Five years? Daisyseph just had surgery and still needs me to take care of her..."
"Shut up!" Nathan turned and glared fiercely at Hanna.
This was already a punishment as light as it could be. If Hanna were smart, she would know that now was not the time to talk back or be unrepentant, but to show weakness.
And Hanna understood the emotion behind Nathan's glare.
She paled, stepping out from behind Nathan, and grabbed Remington's arm.
"Remington, Mom knows she messed up. I've been regretting it. That day in the hospital when I heard we lost the baby, I was shocked. It was an accident! I apologize to you. I'll go and explain to Lizetta, I..."
Remington coldly withdrew his hand, his expression unchanging from beginning to end.
"No need, she wouldn't want to hear your apology. Some sins can't just be erased with repentance!"
He looked at Hanna coldly, who was now crying, her expression full of regret.
But Remington smirked sarcastically, clearly not convinced of Hanna's remorse. She was just scared of the consequences now that her actions had come to light.
He turned to Nathan, "Sending her abroad for five years? Father's punishment is almost laughably lenient."
Nathan frowned, "Remington, what do you suggest then?"
Remington returned to the armchair, his voice grave.
"Call the police. Let her face the consequences she deserves."
Hanna was in disbelief, "I am Mrs. Dashiell, your mother! You want to send me to prison?!"
Nathan's expression changed, "No! I won't allow it! What would happen to the Dashiell family's reputation?!"
Remington scoffed, "The Dashiell family's reputation is already in tatters!"

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....
