Ray stumbled upon an old photo of Elsa on his phone and couldn't help but exclaim. Handing his phone over to Remington, their attention was suddenly hijacked by the sound of conversation at the door of the hospital room.
"What's this about the real heiress of the Madden family? Let me see."
"Liz is the true heiress of the Madden family? Which Madden family are we talking about? The wealthiest in Tranquil Meadows?"
It was Cassius Sterling and Timothy Temple who walked in, one after the other, just in time to catch Ray's words.
Cassius moved forward, grabbing Ray's phone eagerly to look at the photo, his surprise evident.
"Damn, at a glance, you could mistake this for a vintage-filtered photo of Lizetta."
The resolution of the photo found online was mediocre at best, blurring the facial features slightly but indeed, the resemblance was striking.
Timothy, leaning over Cassius's shoulder to peek at the screen, chimed in, "I heard this Florence was a stunner, a renowned belle of Tranquil Meadows back in the day. No wonder Litchi looks so gorgeous; she takes after her mom..."
He didn't get to finish his sentence before catching the icy stare from Remington.
Lifting his gaze, Timothy found himself locked in Remington's chilling gaze.
Caught off guard, Timothy mumbled, "What's the big deal? I’ve always called her Litchi since we were kids. We're practically siblings."
Remington's expression turned even colder, the tension around him almost tangible.
Timothy, undeterred by the chilly atmosphere, stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I used to call her Litchi all the time, and it never bothered you before. Let me think… Is it because you're now officially divorced and feeling insecure about Litchi, seeing me as a rival?"
Remington's features hardened, a bitter smile faintly tugging at his lips.
"You know too much."

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....
