Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 758

"Get in my car," Remington insisted before Lizetta could even nod in agreement, his grip on her arm tightening abruptly, a storm brewing in his deep eyes.

"Is he coming to dinner too?" Lizetta glanced at Remington, her tone light. "I didn't say I was inviting Mr. Dashiell alone, did I? Is there a problem?"

Her casual remark seemed to infuriate Remington even further. She hadn't made it explicitly clear. Yet, Remington felt as though he'd been played for a fool, having dressed up and looked forward to this day, now feeling utterly ridiculous.

But walking away in anger would probably delight Jerome the most, which was the last thing Remington wanted. Gritting his teeth, Remington managed to say through clenched jaws, "No problem, just get in my car! We need to talk."

Seeing his stern and forbidding look, Lizetta hesitated, fearing Remington might lose his temper again. That's when Jerome chimed in.

"Liz, Grandma and Grandpa are going to call later. They want to know how your first day went," he reminded her gently.

Instantly, Lizetta tried to shake off Remington's grip, "Mr. Dashiell, you heard. I..."

Unable to break free and halfway through her sentence, she found herself being pulled closer into Remington's arms by a strong tug. Simultaneously, Jerome's hand tightened into a fist.

Caught between the two men, Lizetta felt her soul nearly leap out of her body in fright.

"Let go!"

"You're hurting her!"
