Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 53

“Sis, I bought this bracelet with my own money; how on earth could it belong to the Dashiell family? Framing someone with a lame excuse, that’s not tool at all.”

Evelina burst into tears again, while Lizetta still had a grip on her wrist.

She looked down at the bracelet closely and noticed something was off. At first glance, the bracelet looked a lot like the Dashiell family’s, but it was narrower, and the green was faded by twenty percent.

Up close, it had some discoloration and wasn’t as clear as the Dashiell family’s – it wasn’t even in the same league.

It was just that the high–quality part was worn on the outside by Evelina, and Lizetta hadn’t looked closely, so she hadn’t spotted the difference.

“Ouch.”

Evelina cried out in pain, and Elara reached out to smack Lizetta’s hand away. “Let go already!”

Remington, with a dark expression, pulled Lizetta away and wrapped his arm protectively around her.

At that moment, Cedric arrived with a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket, sent to apologize on Joseph’s behalf.

“Sir?”

Remington gave him a glance and said to Kevin, “It’s all a misunderstanding. Joseph recklessly injured Ms. Evelina Hawthorne, but Mrs. Elara Hawthorne also hit my girl without discrimination. Since that’s the case, we’re even.”

He looked at Cedric, “I left a card in Ms. Evelina Hawthorne’s room. Go get it.”

Cedric immediately responded and went into the room.

Remington didn’t linger, taking Lizetta by the shoulders and heading towards Joseph’s room.
