Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 

“Granny, I was also going to…” 

As Remington took off, Lizetta was getting ready to say her goodbyes and follow suit, but Fiona grabbed her arm. 

“Liz, hang on a sec, I’ve got something.” 

Fiona glanced over to Tina standing by, who nodded and went off to do her bidding. 

Lizetta was a bit puzzled, but soon enough she saw Tina dragging Shirley over, who was putting up quite the fight and looking as sick as a dog. 

“Let go of me, Tina! I can walk by myself!” 

Shirley was brought over; as soon as she spotted Lizetta sitting next to Fiona, her face soured even more, and she shot Lizetta a death glare. 

It was all Lizetta’s fault. 

She had come over to the old house to chill today, but Granny happened to overhear her poking fun at Lizetta with her girlfriends on the phone. 

Granny was steamed. Shirley was supposed to hit the mall with her squad, but instead. she got grounded, with her cellphone confiscated, and was ordered to spend the morning in reflection. 

“You’ve been ‘reflecting‘ all morning, and for what, right? It’s been a complete wash. Now apologize to your sister–in–law, and make it snappy!” Fiona said sternly to Shirley. 

Lizetta hadn’t seen it coming that the old lady had asked her to stay just to make Shirley apologize to her face; it warmed her heart. 

But Shirley was fuming; with tears welling up in her eyes, she retorted, “Granny, I’m your flesh and blood! How can you do this to me!?” 

Fiona shot back sharply, “Liz is my flesh–and–blood granddaughter–in–law. Don’t play the victim here. I’m fair and square and I only judge by what’s right and wrong!” 

Shirley, not about to say sorry to Lizetta that easily, stubbornly clamped her mouth shut. 

Fiona lost her cool, “No apology, no mercy. Get back to your room and reflect some more! I’m cutting off your credit cards, so you can’t go around causing trouble all day long!” 

Hearing that her credit would be cut off, Shirley quickly swallowed her pride and said to Lizetta, “I’m sorry, alright?” 

Not willing to let it slide so easily, Lizetta said with a smirk, “What’s that? Sorry, who? I didn’t quite catch it.”

“It’s vo 

you, I’m sorry!” Shirley spat out the words through clenched teeth, before she ran off crying. 

After exchanging a few more words with Fiona, Lizetta also said her goodbyes. 

As she left the villa, Shirley caught up to her, seething, “Lizetta, you’re something else! Over the years, what have you done besides running to Granny to tattle? Granny’s just soft–hearted and feels sorry for you, and that’s why she treats you decently. Don’t get too full of yourself!” 

Lizetta didn’t give her the time of day, not even turning her head. 

Shirley grabbed her arm, “In a family like the Dashiells, even a stray dog picked up off the streets would be treated well, but no matter how fancy the treatment, it’s just a plaything! Let me tell you, Eve is carrying Remi’s baby now, and you’ll soon be the ex–wife! We’ll see how cocky you are then!” 

Lizetta shrugged off Shirley’s grip, “Done barking?“. 

She strode off briskly, treating Shirley as if she was indeed just a yapping dog, not worth her time to argue with an animal. 

Shirley stamped her foot in rage, “Who’s barking?! Don’t think I didn’t get that you just called me a dog, you wench, you vixen!”
