Lizetta spun around, a flash of surprise crossing her face, "How did you get in here?"
She frowned and glanced outside, certain she had asked the Madden family's security to keep watch.
Remington steadied her before she could protest, quickly withdrawing his hand afterwards.
He rubbed his fingers together where they had touched her waist, as if her warmth and softness lingered there.
"I told your guards I was worried about you and just wanted to check in. Guess they thought I looked trustworthy enough to let me through."
Lizetta thought he was full of it but didn't have the evidence to prove otherwise. Besides, this wasn't the time to get hung up on that.
Her gaze shifted back to Stella, who had pushed her away only to collapse on the floor herself.
Drunk beyond belief, Stella sprawled on the ground, her body covered in vomit.
"Cough, cough... blargh..."
Choking on her own vomit, Stella struggled to get up only to vomit again.
"Stella, was Hans sent by the West family? Tell me!"
Lizetta, furious, moved closer and crouched down, grabbing Stella by her shirt collar.
"Blargh!"
Stella's face was flushed red from the alcohol, eyes rolling back, clearly too drunk to even speak.
When Lizetta tugged at her, Stella's response was to vomit again.
Remington quickly stepped in, pulling Lizetta away just in time to avoid getting splashed.
"She's too wasted to give us anything useful."
Remington looked down at Stella sprawled on the floor, then back at Lizetta.
"If it were that easy to get evidence from the West family, I wouldn't have had to dig so hard these past few months."
He had never stopped investigating the West family.
But every lead had been meticulously cleaned up. There were hints, but nothing concrete.

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....
