Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 

“Walt, you’re Lizetta’s cousin?” Hamilton was surprised. 

Lizetta and Joseph didn’t share a last name, so when Hamilton asked Joseph, he said Lizetta was his cousin. 

He guessed that Lizetta must have taken her mom’s surname. 

Lizetta saw his misunderstanding and wanted to explain, but to her surprise, Remington nodded first. 

“You got a problem with that?” 

Lizetta frowned; why would he deliberately mislead Hamilton? 

But the next second, seeing Hamilton scratching his head and quickly changing his tune, apologizing to Remington, even asking if the “cousin” was thirsty or wanted something to drink, Lizetta caught onto Badass Remington’s game. 

When it comes to being sly, it has to be him! 

“He’s not thirsty! Hamilton, don’t bother with him, don’t go!” 

Lizetta couldn’t bear to see such an innocent guy like Hamilton getting toyed with by Remington, a man with a black heart and rotten liver and stopped him from buying drinks. 

But Remington tightened his grip on Lizetta’s hand, looking down and saying. 

“Heh, when someone’s courting, which one of them doesn’t run errands? I’m giving him a chance to show off.” He looked back at Hamilton. 

“What do you think?” 

Hamilton smiled and winked at Lizetta, saying, 

“You’re right, Lizetta, watch Nancy for me, I’ll be right back.” 

With a wave, he dashed off towards the vending machines. 

Lizetta pushed Remington away, grabbing a kid by the hand. 

“We’re gonna play over there and leave you and Mr. Sterling to your duo time.” 

Dragging the kid away, Lizetta left. Cassius watched her go and then looked at Remington. 

“Remi, how dare she treat you like that?” 

He expected to see Lizetta crying and begging for forgiveness when Remington showed up, but this is it? 

Remington couldn’t be bothered to reply, just asked, “What are you doing here anyway?” 

For Cassius, a grown man, to bump into Lizetta here; it was kind of weird. 

Cassius reached out to pat Remington’s shoulder, “Forgot already, Remi? We came here for some duo time, remember?” 

Remington was grossed out, his eyes shooting daggers. 

“Try touching me again and see what happens.” 

Cassius withdrew his hand, and Remington had already started walking towards Lizetta. 

Cassius followed, explaining. “This amusement park was part of my mother’s dowry. Recently, they added drone shows and a few other attractions for the evening slots, so I came to check if out.”

Then a staff member called Cassius over, and he left, leaving Remington to chase after Lizetta alone. 

By then, Lizetta had been pulled to the entrance of the haunted house by two kids. 

Hamilton also came back with drinks, buying warm milk for Lizetta and the two kids. Handing it to Lizetta, 

he smiled and said. 

1 got you the sugar–free kind; it won’t make you fat, wanna try?” 

It was clear from her figure that Lizetta kept herself in shape with discipline. 

Lizetta hadn’t expected such thoughtfulness from a young man and was about to take it when Remington swooped in and grabbed the milk. 

“I just wanted to drink.” 

Hamilton turned to him, “Didn’t you want something cold? This iced lemon tea’s for you.” 

He handed over the drink, but Remington didn’t take it, saying lightly, 

“I can’t handle sour.” 

Lizetta frowned, thinking to herself that vinegar was sour too, and why did it feel like Remington was being jealous?
