Jerome nodded, "Just call me Big Bro, Liz sees you as a sister too."
He smiled warmly at Lizetta beside him before adding, "I'm Liz's brother, so by extension, I guess that makes me your brother too. No need for formalities. If you need anything regarding Yolanda's situation, the Madden Group's legal and PR teams are at your disposal."
Yolanda quickly thanked him, then said, "Then, please, call me Yolanda or Yoli."
Jerome looked puzzled, but Lizetta pursed her lips, understanding the underlying sentiment.
She knew Yolanda was reminded of Margaret. It seemed they both shared similar wounds.
Lizetta used to be called Liz, instantly reminding her of Stella, who was nicknamed Star.
And now, Cassius had brought another Margaret into the picture. It was unclear whose buttons he was trying to push.
Lizetta took Yolanda's hand and told Jerome, "Bro, I'm taking Yoli back to our room to chat."
Meanwhile, in the car.
Remington thought back to the moment Lizetta called Jerome "Bro" and ran towards him. He wasn’t just jealous; he felt like he was drowning in it.
He recalled the rumors about Jerome being the adopted foster son of the Madden family. The image of Lizetta sweetly smiling at Jerome and Jerome looking at her with adoration felt like ants crawling over his skin, biting into his heart.
He couldn't even bear to think about what Lizetta's and Jerome's relationship was now.
The man loosened his tie in frustration and unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, shrouded in a gloom.
Cedric, driving, also pondered the recent scene.

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....
