Fiona pointed to her head, now full of silver strands.
Lizetta looked over, her eyes warming with tears. When she had left, Fiona's hair still sported a few black strands, but now, it was a challenge to find even one.
"Silver hair like Fiona's is all the rage this year. Many folks try to dye their hair to get this effect but can't quite nail it. And Fiona, with such a full head of hair, looks even more regal and elegant. Many a girl with thinning hair would be green with envy."
Lizetta teased Fiona, who responded with a hearty laugh, clearly pleased with the compliment.
As Fiona stood up, the younger ones couldn't remain seated any longer.
Nathan and the others quickly got to their feet, and Shirley, despite her swollen, aching knees, reluctantly followed suit.
At that moment, she watched Fiona and Lizetta chatting away happily, Fiona enthusiastically bigging up Lizetta, and felt a bitter mix of sourness and jealousy.
"What's the big deal with her? Just a widow who lost a child, acting as if the whole world owes her something. To the uninitiated, you'd think she was some kind of princess, demanding the entire family get up to greet her!"
Shirley was seething, having only badmouthed Lizetta a bit in a private room one day, which led to her practically being on her knees, and even caused a rift with her parents.
Lizetta, that wretch, even dared to threaten her with an abortion receipt.
Despite being the real victims, they were now summoned to the old family home, all to wait for Lizetta's arrival.
She was even forcibly brought here from the hospital. For what reason?
But Shirley only dared to mutter under her breath, complaining to her mother Wendy next to her.
Wendy glanced at her and hissed, "Shut up, behave yourself!"

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....
