“Mrs. Madden, how could I ever think that way? I know you're looking out for me. Otherwise, what would it be? A deliberate attempt to target me?” Lizetta flashed a grin and winked at Laura, who was standing in front of her.
“Liz, as long as you understand me, that's all that matters. After all, joining Madden Media is like your grandparents entrusting you to me. If you were to get sick or overly exhausted, I'd have a hard time explaining it to them.”
Lizetta could clearly sense the declaration of authority over Madden Media in her words. Her lips curved into a playful smile, “Mrs. Madden, please don’t think like that. Madden Media is first and foremost a part of the Madden Group. Working hard for my own family’s company, even if it tires me out, is only natural. Besides, my grandfather wanted me here to gain experience. If Mrs. Madden doesn’t let me do anything, it would go against his wishes.”
“Maybe I was too worried about you and started overthinking. Since that's the case, hand your phone to Laura. I’ll talk to her.”
Lizetta sweetly said, “Thank you, Mrs. Madden.” She handed the phone back to Laura, and after Eartha gave a few instructions, Laura hung up.
Laura turned to Lizetta with an apologetic and awkward smile, “Miss, I'm sorry. I contacted President Madden earlier also for your health’s sake. Please don’t take it the wrong way.”
Lizetta smiled lightly, “No worries. It must have been tough on you, Laura, pretending not to know who I am even though we’ve met.”
Laura’s smile strained a bit more upon catching the tease in Lizetta’s words. She walked over to her desk, changing the subject, “Miss, President Madden has already instructed me to assign you the most challenging project in the department.” She pulled out a folder from the drawer and handed it to Lizetta.

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....
