Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 229

Feeling wronged?

How could she not feel wronged? She was framed for four years.

That night, she didn’t do a thing, yet overnight, she became the laughing stock of Zion City’s high society.

She was labeled as the slut who slept with her own brother, loathed and spat on by everyone for four years.

She was turned into someone who’s been pointed at by thousands, labeled as ungrateful, scheming, and insatiably greedy.

Back then, she thought she could handle being misunderstood and badmouthed by everyone, as long as her brother believed her.

But he didn’t. He looked at her the same way, and cast her into hell, never to return.

She had no one to share these grievances with.

Now he was ready to believe her, but she didn’t need it anymore.

Lizetta looked up, her eyes clear and completely tear–free, leaving only a void of desolate sadness.

She cracked a smile and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve been slandered for four years, seen as the stain on your reputation, Remington. Now that we’re divorced, I don’t have to play the villain anymore.”
