Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 877

Upstairs, Margaret stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, her smartphone in hand, idly drawing circles on the glass with her finger, a smirk playing on her lips.

A sense of triumph was written all over her face. Swinging public opinion was child's play for her, whether online or in real life.

Even though Remington had been cold towards Stella at the club the other night, showing a baffling protectiveness towards Lizetta and that wretched Yolanda instead, the fact that he and Stella were divorced meant their chapter was closed.

To a successful man like Remington, reputation and profit were paramount.

Stella saving him was a fact, and the Dashiell and West families had been long-standing business partners.

Spreading this story would mean Remington, for the sake of his reputation and public opinion, would surely choose Stella.

The Starlight Group's swift decision to collaborate with Glory Media for their annual gala was proof enough.

What chance did someone like Lizetta, without significant family backing and already kicked to the curb, stand in comparison?

Even if Mr. Dashiell still harbored feelings for his ex-wife, keeping her as a secret affair was one thing.

Helping Stella achieve her goal, thereby ensuring her place as Mrs. Dashiell, would naturally make her more reliant on Margaret. The benefits were plentiful.

With her plans swirling in her mind, Margaret pocketed her phone and turned to join the group of colleagues surrounding Stella.

“Congratulations, Ms. West! Barely a month into the job and you’ve already set an example for us all, snagging the Starlight Group’s annual gala project with such ease!”

“That’s nothing for Ms. West, heiress of the West family. Her connection with Mr. Dashiell is all it took. Didn’t you see Mr. Winters from the Starlight Group personally delivering the contract?”

“That’s not fair to say. Ms. West must have secured this contract through her own exceptional capabilities, presenting an annual gala proposal that satisfied the Starlight Group. It’s got nothing to do with Mr. Dashiell.”
