Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Remington looked down at the woman in his arms, her life hanging by a thread, feeling as if he had swallowed a scorching iron.
How could he tell her that his findings had nothing to do with the West family, and that someone else was behind it all? She probably wouldn't believe him anyway.
After all, she was now ready to kill and face jail time rather than trust him to stand by her side again. Besides, he didn't want to give the West family and their daughter the satisfaction of seeing the Dashiell family humiliated.
"Liz, you're exhausted. Just sleep for a bit. I won't let anything happen to you," Remington said, his voice rough with emotion.
Lizetta's eyes, filled with hope and hatred, shattered in disbelief. But before she could protest or curse, her body succumbed to the emotional turmoil, and she passed out.
"Ha, it's not up to you. She needs to be taken away today!" Martin said, sipping his tea before looking up with a mild expression.
Remington's gaze turned deep and dark. "Sending Liz to jail is declaring war on me, Remington! The West family will gain nothing from this!"
Stella's head wound was still bleeding, causing her dizziness and nausea. She was only enduring this to provide evidence of Lizetta's attempted murder to the police. She wanted to see Lizetta's downfall, but to her frustration, Remington hadn't spared her a glance, nor had he offered any comfort. Now, he was fully committed to defending Lizetta, causing Stella to clench her fists in jealousy.
"Remington, what do you mean by that? Are you threatening our family? How do you expect me to swallow this insult?" Slath the Find_Nøvel.let website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Swallow it, even if you have to force it!" Remington replied coldly, his eyes devoid of warmth.
"What if the West family demands justice today In Zion City, we may not be as influential as the Dashiell family, but we're not to be trampled on. If Lizetta can walk free after publicly attempting to murder my daughter, how can the West family continue to stand in Zion City?"
Martin scoffed, then turned to the West family's butler, Felix. "Felix, let the police in!"
Felix was about to leave, but Ray stepped in front of him.
"If Chairman West insists on this, then let's also discuss with the police the matter of the West family bribing their way to get that land in the south of the city at a low price," Remington said gravely.
Martin's hand trembled, spilling
some tea on his hand. The land Remington mentioned was acquired by Martin through shady means.f investigated, it would be considered economic crime. Remington's words, backed by evidence, were not an empty threat.
"Compared to attempted murder, the issue you mentioned is minor. I won't let go of the person who harmed my daughter for my own sake, even if it means joining Ms. Gardenia in jail for a few months!"
"True, Chairman West is skilled in manipulation and even with my influence, you might only be jailed for a few months. But what if the West family faces problems without you? Can Stella handle the entire West family? When Chairman West is released, will he still ha
this
mansion to return to?"
