Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 910

"She hit me without apologizing, so why should she apologize to you? Do you think you're more special than me?"

Lizetta just stared, speechless. Cassius was equally struck dumb, his silence punctuated only by his incredulous, disdainful gaze.

Remington narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice. "I had dinner with your old man yesterday. He mentioned that the Sterling Group's been a bit shaky lately, lots of restless folks. Your big brother seems to be under a lot of pressure. Maybe I should give him a call, suggest that you go back and lend a hand?"

Cassius was happily working as an actor, far removed from any interest in the family business. Besides, his big brother was his half-brother, and Cassius had a lot of respect for him, wanting no part in any sibling rivalry.

If he did return to Sterling Group, he'd likely get dragged into corporate battles and possibly end up butting heads with his brother. That was the last thing Cassius wanted. His passion for the entertainment industry was partly to avoid such conflicts.

Remington, with his sway among the older folks, could easily make things happen. If he suggested it, Cassius's father might just come knocking with a cane, insisting that he join the firm.

So, as soon as Remington brought it up, Cassius quickly straightened up, clasped his hands together, and said, "Remi, I was wrong."

Remington raised an eyebrow. "Who should you be apologizing to?"

Cassius hurriedly turned to Lizetta, offering a sheepish grin. "Lizetta, I misspoke earlier. You know my mouth runs off sometimes. How about this, you can hit me again to even it out?"

Cassius was nothing if not adaptable, offering the other cheek to Lizetta.

Lizetta looked at him with a hint of amusement and made a motion as if to raise her hand.
