Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 

Apollo looked totally skeptical and thought to himself that one million was a steal 

Erica got back on her feet and rolled up Thaddeusright sleeve

Lizetta. Thaddeus always had your back, remember? Check out this scar. Isn’t this from when Hans got you that one time? It’s a whopper. He bled buckets for you. You can’t be cold feet over one mil can you?” 

Thaddeusright arm was marked with a particularly ghastly scar that ran from his forearm all the way to his armpit

He’d taken the hit for Lizetta, all right

Thaddeus had been bedridden for over a year, skin and bones, muscle atrophy making the wound look all the more ferocious

Lizetta couldn’t stand to see Thaddeus bedridden and toyed with like this, subjected to such humiliation. Her eyes flashed with frost

*Get your hands off my big brother!” 

She surged forward and yanked Erica away with force

Erica stumbled, banging her lower back against the corner of a table and let out a scream

Apollo, seeing his wife hurt, flew into a rage and swung at Lizetta

Yolanda, who’d been right by Lizetta’s side, wasn’t about to let him get away with it. She lashed out with a kick and sent the notsoslender Apollo flying

Suddenly, the hospital room was in utter chaos

Over at the Dashiell Group’s CEO office

Remington, dressed in a sharp dark gray suit, was the picture of elegance and calm, seemingly handling the company’s business like any other day

But what lay open before him wasn’t any sort of official document

It was a diary

In it. Lizetta’s familiar handwriting detailed her daily routine, work plans, and various sources of income

Each page, each line, was a testament to the sweat and tears she’d poured into this period of her 

life

Those accumulated sums were indeed the fruits of Lizetta’s own labor

Deep down, he’d still been seeing her as that little girl who couldn’t do without the Dashiell family

He had underestimated her

His girl was far more capable and far more ruthless than he’d imagined

This hardearned money was also a clear sign of her determination to leave him

Remington’s fingers clenched the pages of the diary until his knuckles turned white

Just then, Cedric burst through the door

Remington, unflustered, closed the diary and tucked it into a drawer

He looked up, “What’s up?” 

Cedric had been on pins and needles since yesterday, afraid of saying the wrong thing and stepping on a landmine

But, to his surprise, Remington had been remarkably composed, almost unnervingly so, as if he hadn’t just gone through a divorce

The more composed Remington was, the more unnerved Cedric felt

He was walking on eggshells, experiencing the ancient sentiment of serving a king being akin to living with a tiger

Especially now, as he had to report something regarding the now exMrs. Dashiell, he didn’t know whether he should even bring it up

But not reporting it felt even riskier to Cedric

Man, this was tough

Um, Ms. Gardenia, she”
