Fiona could see it clear as day – Mrs. Bernice Madden genuinely adored Lizetta. Maybe, just maybe, a change of scenery, a brand new environment, could help her move on faster.
When Cassius heard Fiona speak up, despite his worry and discomfort for Remington, he frowned but didn't object further.
Jerome then picked Lizetta up and started making their way downstairs.
At the doorstep, waiting for the chauffeur to bring the car around, Lizetta, who had been quietly leaning on Jerome, stirred slightly.
Jerome, sensing the movement, looked down at her with gentle eyes. "What is it?" he asked, wondering if she was looking for Remington, if there was something she still wanted to say to him.
But with her pale lips quivering, she simply said, “Grandma…”
Immediately, Jerome turned around to face Fiona, who was being supported by Tina.
“Fiona, Liz has something she wants to tell you.”
Fiona thought Lizetta didn’t even want to acknowledge her anymore. Surprised by the remark, she hurried over.
“Liz, Grandma’s here…”
Lizetta gave Fiona a weak smile, “Fiona, I’ll visit you once I’m feeling better.”
Fiona’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, almost spilling over.
She couldn’t help but notice the shift in Lizetta’s address. For years, it had always been ‘Grandma’, and now it was ‘Fiona’.
It was as if Lizetta was truly stepping out of the Dashiell family’s door, no longer one of them.
Yet, the child, with her kind heart and grateful spirit, was still comforting her, assuring her that she bore no grudge against her grandmother.
Fiona turned her head to hide her tears, then gently patted Lizetta on the shoulder.
“Alright, then. Fiona will be waiting for you,” she managed to say.

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....
