Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 

The familiar voice broke the silence, and Lizetta looked up to see Remington striding over

Impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, sunlight spilling over his broad shoulders, he still carried an air of regal composure, though he was holding a lunchbox in his hand

Early in the morning, he had gone to get breakfast for Evelina

Lizetta watched him approach, a chill running through her veins, slowly freezing her heart

Evelina, what happened? How could you just hit someone like that, don’t you know she’s pregnant!Evelina was on the ground, clutching her stomach, looking like she couldn’t get up. April was holding her, condemning Lizetta

The commotion had already drawn a crowd, all pointing fingers at Lizetta

In an instant, she had become the target of public censure, Lizetta stood there numbly

Remington was quickly upon her, his expression stern as he fixed his gaze on Lizetta. What’s going on?” 

Lizetta stiffened her neck. I didn’t hit her, and I certainly didn’t push her!” 

“Oh, so she was knocked over by a breeze?Remington’s eyebrows knitted together

In her heart, Lizetta was like, Well, yeah, she was

At that moment, Evelina, supported by April, got up. She looked pained but tugged at Remington’s sleeve

Remi, don’t blame sis, it’s just that I’ve had a poor appetite recently and got dizzy from low blood sugar.But her expression was all wrong, not matching her words at all

Lizetta couldn’t stand her damselindistress act and said coldly, You heard her, right? She lost her balance on her own. Can I go now?” 

Her defiance only made Evelina seem more fragile and innocent

After all, playing the role of damselindistress required a certain natural talent

Lizetta didn’t want to compete in craftiness with Evelina, so she turned to leave, but her wrist was yanked back. Caught off guard by the man’s forceful pull, she turned to face Remington’s stern visage

Apologize.” 

A flicker of triumph crossed Evelina’s eyes as she urged, Sis, I’m fine. Just say sorrycasually, so Remi won’t be angry.” 

Lizetta locked eyes with Remington, incredulous that he was demanding an apology from her under these circumstances

She let out a sarcastic laugh. Apologize? Sure.” 

She nodded, then suddenly swung her hand, slapping Evelina across the face

The sharp smack set off gasps all around

Evelina was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she cried out and threw herself into Remington’s 

arms

Remi.” 

Lizetta raised her hand again, this time aiming for Remington’s face

Naturally, neither the scoundrel nor the scheming woman could be spared

But Remington caught her wrist with a fierce grip, his face ashen, his eyes seething with anger

Lizetta, apologize. Don’t make me say it a third time!” 

He didn’t even notice Evelina clinging to him

The sight was like a slap to Lizetta’s face

Her husband defending his mistress while treating her like dirt, repeatedly demanding she apologize

She yanked her hand back furiously, her eyes reddening

Take a good look at both sides of her face, and next time you try to slander someone, at least don’t be so dumb!” 

Evelina stiffened in Remington’s arms, instinctively covering her face

Lizetta snorted in derision and walked through the nosy crowd, leaving the scene
