Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 

Lizetta clenched her fists tightly, having Just thought she glimpsed a man’s silhouette darting past the door during her dance

She thought she might have seen wrong, but it was really him. Over and over, he snatched away her opportunities and creations to give to Evelina

But Lizetta still held onto a sliver of hope, her questioning gaze turned to Louis, who sheepishly smiled and pulled her aside, Sorry about that, Ms. Gardenia. Your dance really suited the game we’re developing, it took it to the next level

We were totally on board for a collab this time too, but I guess the boss had other things on his mind. He just checked out your original dance, wasn’t thrilled, and decided we can’t go forward with the contract.” 

So, Remington saw her, knew it was her, and that was why he pulled the plug? Lizetta’s palm pinched in frustration, feeling a numbness in her heart

How could you do this to us?! Isn’t this just toying with people? Your big company playing games without a shred of integrity!” 

Yolanda was fuming, teeth clenched, but Lizetta held her back, Let it go, Yolanda; let’s just leave.”

There, Yolanda had narrowly avoided being hit, tumbling to the ground unsteadily. Lizetta, pulling her back, was dragged down with her, both landing in a heap, utterly disheveled

Remington approached, seeing they were unharmed, and spoke with a steely face, Nice try playing bumper fraud.” 

Badass Remington, you hit your own wife with a car, now that’s slick!Yolanda spat back angrily

Lizetta, pushing herself up from the ground, held back Yolanda from charging again, and said to Remington

Mr. Dashiell, you got it wrong. Scammers pick on the softhearted, kind ones. A blackhearted capitalist like you doesn’t even qualify to be scammed.” 

Remington snorted coldly. Of course, he understood why Lizetta and her friend were so pissed
