Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 

Lizetta grabbed it and was about to hunker down to replay the video because Remington’s reaction was off. She felt like he hadn’t really paid attention

She wanted him to take another look, but realized that the video had vanished from her album

Gone just like that, it had to be Remington who deleted it

Lizetta, not ready to throw in the towel, checked the cloud storage only to find it wiped clean there too

She stared at Remington in disbelief, What’s your deal?” 

I’ve said it before, the kid’s not mine. Did you really think you could con me into pouring billions into the Hawthorne family?Remington said with an emotionless face, clearly unphased by the video

Lizetta gaped at him, baffled, So, you knew the kid wasn’t yours, but you still let Evelina sweettalk you into willingly investing in the Hawthorne family?” 

Remington nodded, There are some reasons, I’ll fill you in later.” 

A twinge of pain prickled through Lizetta’s heart

What kind of reasons could a man have to help a woman like this

They were talking billions here, not chump change, and Remington’s top dog in the business world. Even if it’s not out of love, there’s gotta be sympathy or a soft spot

Besides, this whole time, Hanna’s been under the impression that Evelina’s kid is Remington’s, and he hasn’t bothered to set the record straight

He’s been all too happy to play dad from the getgo, even knowing the kid isn’t his, and even knowing Evelina’s got a side guy, he’s still game to tolerate her

With him being all selfless for Evelina, why should Lizetta work herself into a frenzy for him

What a joke

Lizetta forced a laugh

She suddenly shoved Remington away and stood up, If you knew all along, then I guess I’m just beating a dead horse here. We’re divorced, I’m outta here. You never cared to explain to your wife before, so save your breath, I don’t want to hear it now, I’m not interested!” 

With that, Lizetta turned to leave

Remington frowned, grabbing her wrist, Joseph’s treatment should be ending soon, where are you off to?” 

Lizetta jerked her hand away, I’m not going there, to avoid an unpleasant runin with your mother.” 

She was worried about Joseph, but staying wasn’t helping

With Nathan and the gang there, she couldn’t even get close to the bedside, why bother asking for trouble

Lizetta turned and quickly walked away. Remington watched her cold departure and considered following, but his phone rang

It was Nathan, probably an update about Joseph

Reluctantly, Remington turned and walked briskly in the opposite direction

On the way back, Lizetta felt like she had a rock sitting in her chest

She pulled out her phone, opened the ticketing app, and stared at the flight she had booked earlier

Thinking she’d soon leave all this mess behind felt liberating

Abroad, she had her beloved dance and her sweet baby

Leaving without running into any more troublemakers, Lizetta’s mood slowly brightened

But, as fate would have it, before she made it home, Fiona’s call came through

Liz, get back to the hospital, now.” 

Grandma? What’s wrong?”
