Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 175

Yolanda had clearly had a few too many, looking all wilted and like a sorry mess. But she perked up when she saw Lizetta, and clenched her fists in anger.

“That damn poser, who deceived everyone with his ‘national heartthrob‘ act, with a heart smaller than the tip of a needle!”

After listening to Yolanda’s rant, it took Lizetta a while to figure out what had happened.

Turns out, after Remington had whisked her away, Cassius had given Yolanda a hard time, not letting her leave and demanding compensation for damages,

Yolanda wasn’t one to back down, and Cassius was a spoiled brat. They came to blows, starting with fisticuffs and ending up at the drinking table, both getting plastered. Yolanda ended up injuring Cassius.

Now, Cassius had called the cops on Yolanda for property damage and assault.

“Liz, just leave it. If Cassius thinks he’s tough, let him lock me up for life! I’ll spend the night in the cell, drawing circles and cursing him till sunrise.”

Yolanda was adamant about Lizetta not getting involved, but Lizetta felt both regret and guilt.

She had gone out with Yolanda that night, and it was because of her that Yolanda got into it with Cassius. How could she just abandon Yolanda?

She contacted a lawyer, but things were complicated because Cassius had provided surveillance footage of Yolanda and her crew trashing the winery, and since Yolanda had also damaged his pretty face, which caused him to delay a photo shoot, he was hell–bent on not settling.

He was a Sterling family scion, and the police, wary of the Sterling family’s influence and seeing that Yolanda didn’t have a leg to stand on, refused to grant bail.

Lizetta called Cassius, trying to apologize calmly.
