Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 

Lizetta was scared stiff as she propped herself up, her knees awkwardly and clumsily shuffling backward, a bitter irony in her strong demeanor. 

“Mr. Dashiell, when did you start moonlighting as a sushi chef, how come I–ah!” 

Remington came over, his hand wielding a knife that he thrust down fiercely. 

Lizetta screamed, closing her eyes. 

Of course, there was no pain, but when she opened her eyes, she saw her large tail fin pinned to the bed by his knife, unable to pull it free despite her efforts. 

She was immobilized. 

Remington sat down beside the bed, casually tugging at the pinned tail fin, asking. 

*Realized your mistake yet?” 

Lizetta didn’t think she had done anything wrong. She turned her head, tears swirling in her eyes. 

“I earn my keep, and if you think I’ve shamed you or tarnished the Dashiell family name, then hurry up and let’s get the divorce papers.” 

Her words only fanned the flames, and Remington’s face turned cold as he gripped the knife handle and slashed upwards. 

Rip! 

Lizetta clenched her eyes shut, feeling as if her legs had felt the cold sharpness of the blade. 

In an instant, her tail fin was split, and although she broke out in a cold sweat, her legs were finally free. 

She bent her knees and kicked out at Remington. 

The man grabbed her feet and bent them upwards, Lizetta’s knees pressed into her stomach, a humiliating position that left her immobile, her face red with frustration. 

“Do you think I’m dead? Or that I’m lacking money for food and clothes, that you need to go out and do this to support yourself?” 

His 

s expression was gloomy, and Lizetta, biting her lip, was too tired to speak. 

He had never been stingy with money towards her. Even when he wasn’t home for the past two years, his secretary would transfer half a million to her account every month, and the latest fashion and bags were delivered to her door on time. 

Jewelry too; she had it all. 

From a young age, he had given her the best. 

But because of this, Lizetta could never hold her head up in their marriage, lacking the confidence to even stand 

tall. 

She felt greedy for desiring his love, feeling unworthy. 

“Speak up!” Remington angrily pinched Lizetta’s chin, forcing her to face him. 

Tears were in her eyes, but her lips curled up in self–mockery. 

“Right, you’ve never wronged me. I’m like your pet canary. No, at least a sugar daddy gets pleasure from keeping a pet canary. But you don’t love me. After marrying me, you came home even less, spending years abroad. You shouldn’t be called Devil Remington; Poor Remington suits you better!”

Chapter 87 

She owed him a great debt, feeling that even liking him was a desecration, dirty. 

Since her first crush at fourteen, she had worked hard to make money, paying into the Dashiell family account every year, trying to repay what she could. 

She thought that once she had paid it all back, maybe then she could leave the Dashiell family and pursue him with dignity. 

Unfortunately, later on. 

Her efforts were probably a joke in Remington’s eyes. 

“So I’m just the big sucker, am I? Splurging money and energy on an ingrate. Ha, at least an ingrate has warm blood, unlike you, now a cold–hearted, cold–blooded mermaid of beauty.” Remington scoffed coldly.
