Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 739

Liz took another step towards Jerome's car when she felt a firm grip on her wrist. Rem didn't loosen his hold; instead, he tightened it, causing a slight numbness in Liz's forearm.

Frowning, Liz turned around to see Rem's handsome face illuminated by the car headlights. His complexion was pale, making his drooping dark eyes seem even colder, shimmering with a chilling light.

His lips slightly raised, "Since when do you call him that? Or did you do it just for me to hear?"

Ever since that morning at the doorstep of the Madden family, Rem had been irked upon hearing Liz refer to Jerome in such a familiar way.

He had stormed off in anger before, but even with mental preparation, he still couldn't handle it, easily getting infuriated.

“Mr. Dashiell, why would I do anything just for you to hear?” Liz bit her lip, displeased, implying he wasn’t that significant to her.

She tried to pull her hand away again, but Rem's jaw clenched tighter, his eyes full of dark jealousy.

Out of the corner of his eye, Rem saw Jerome had parked and was unbuckling his seatbelt to get out. Suddenly, Rem bent down and scooped Liz up.

Bang!

Before Liz could react, she was stuffed into his car behind them. He followed, slamming the door shut.

“What are you doing!”

Liz scrambled up from the seat, trying to open the door, but it locked with a click.

Outside, Jerome was quickly approaching, bending down to knock forcefully on the window twice.

Liz glanced at Jerome outside, then glared back at Rem.

“Have you lost your mind, you…”

She didn’t finish her question, as Rem suddenly leaned in, closing the space between them.

His height and physique made him even more imposing in the confined space, enveloping Liz with his presence. She fell silent, instinctively shrinking back.
