Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 150

Lizetta struggled to wake up and found herself with a high fever.

She felt weak all over, barely managed to grope for her phone under the pillow, instinctively wanting to call her emergency contact.

But before her fingers could dial out, WhatsApp buzzed.

She opened it to see the picture.

There he was, a man lounging back lazily in the club’s leather chair, head tilted back, shirt opened at the top revealing two undone buttons, his profile oozing superiority and sleek sophistication.

Not too far from him sat a girl in a miniskirt, pure and fresh, like a college student.

Though they were some distance apart and not sitting together, that girl was clearly sneaking glances at

him.

That look, Lizetta knew it all too well.

She used to gaze up at him just like that, secretly from the shadows.

“Heh.”

Lizetta let out a raspy chuckle, her phone slipping from her grasp.

In a daze, she didn’t know how much time had passed when the buzzing vibration startled her awake again.

Half out of it, she answered and put the phone to her ear.

“Litchi, don’t forget to come to the race tomorrow. Do you need me to pick you up? Litchi?”
