Lizetta clearly understood the veiled threat in Stella's words, a slight frown creasing her forehead.
She had been in a terrible state of mind at the time, too impulsive for her own good. It had been broad daylight, the scandal was huge, but afterward, the West family and the police hadn't come looking for her. There had been no whispers or rumors online or offline. The whole incident had been quietly squashed, and Lizetta knew it was all thanks to Remington's efforts.
Hearing Stella bring it up now, Lizetta's eyes flashed with a cold light. She laughed, cutting Stella off, "Ms. West, if you won't kneel and apologize, then how about a drink to make amends?"
Lizetta turned, walked over to the liquor cabinet, and grabbed two bottles of whiskey, presenting them to Stella and Margaret with a shake. "One bottle each. Finish it, and all's forgiven. That's not too humiliating, right?"
"You're insane! A bottle could kill someone!" Margaret protested urgently. That was whiskey, tough for even a man to handle half a bottle, let alone one each. If they really drank it all, they'd be carried out. Lizetta was being downright malicious!
"If this won't do, and that won't do, then I'm not here to waste Remington's time," Remington chimed in, clearly out of patience, and turned his head to give an order. "Call Mr. Smith and President Miller, let them come over and figure out how to take their daughters back."
Bringing Martin West and Mr. Miller into the mix would definitely blow things up. Remington was clearly determined to go to any lengths to support Lizetta and Yolanda. The thought of Martin West's unpredictable temper sent a shiver down Stella's spine. Gritting her teeth, she stepped forward and took the bottle from Lizetta's hand.
"Fine, I'll drink!"

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....
