Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 879

Stella was a bundle of nerves but quickly tried to offer some comfort.

"Okay, why don't you bring the contract over, and I'll give Remington a call right now to discuss your situation. Don't worry, if it’s just a misunderstanding, we can clear it up. Let’s talk more when we meet, just try to calm down and come over as soon as you can."

"You mean Ms. West is really willing to help me speak to Mr. Dashiell? You’re really going to call him now?"

Mr. Winters sounded like he had just grabbed a lifeline.

"I’m calling right now, why would I lie? Hurry up and come over," Stella responded immediately, wanting to reassure Mr. Winters until he brought over the contract.

"Okay, okay, I’ll bring the contract and see Ms. West right away."

Mr. Winters seemed somewhat pacified by her promise and agreed to come.

After hanging up, Margaret approached Stella with concern.

"What’s going on?"

Stella briefly explained the situation, frowning as she spoke.

"This is just too coincidental…"

She remembered how Liz had been escorted out of Starlight Group's building by security the day before. And now, Mr. Winters himself was facing the prospect of being ousted from Starlight Group. Could Liz be connected to all this?

No, that seemed implausible. If Liz had that kind of influence, she wouldn’t have been so easily dismissed yesterday. Without the backing of the Dashiells, what was she? Just someone hoping for Remington's favor.

If Liz had indeed sought Remington’s intervention, getting rid of Mr. Winters would be a simple matter, not requiring any roundabout measures like an anonymous report. It was more likely that Mr. Winters had been careless in his dealings and had finally caught up with him.

Closing the deal was a matter of minutes. Once the contract was signed, she could easily brush off Winters with a few words.
