"Thanks for that," Lizetta nodded at Remington, her tone polite but distant, as if she wished she could draw a clear line between them.
Remington's jaw tightened slightly, but he didn't say anything. Without complaint, he pulled out his phone and dialed Cassius's number.
However, there was no answer.
After the call automatically ended, Remington looked at Lizetta. "Cassius has a place not far from here, about a ten-minute drive. He might have taken Yolanda there. Shall we go check it out?"
By then, Cedric had slowly driven up and stopped in front of them.
Remington stepped forward to open the car door, but Lizetta didn't move. Instead, she gestured toward a car not far away and raised her voice. "I'll take my own car, thanks. Just send me the address, Mr. Dashiell."
She casually waved her phone, walking towards the approaching Madden family car.
Remington stepped aside slightly, his broad shoulders and long legs making it easy for him to block Lizetta's path.
"You'll need to add me on WhatsApp so I can send you the address," he said, looking down at his phone.
Lizetta's lips curled slightly. "Can't you just text it to me? If that's too much trouble, you can tell me now. I'll remember it."
Remington was momentarily speechless. He had never realized how stubborn and challenging she could be.
Seeing his hesitation, Lizetta raised an eyebrow in confusion.
With a slight purse of his lips, Remington put away his phone and said in a neutral tone, "Just get in the car. I have some things to tell you about the West family."
At the mention of the West family, Lizetta's steps faltered slightly.
Remington cracked a small smile, looking at her. "Cedric's here. What, you think I'm going to eat you?"
Cedric, who was looking back at them, inwardly sighed. He was just the driver; how did he end up being a tool in the president's scheme to coax his wife into the car?

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....
