Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 249

Hogan’s eyes were cool behind his glasses

“Liz had no clue about the proposal early on, nor later, but somehow she finds out right when you guys are about to sign the divorce papers and she and I are headed to Astoria. Mr. Dashiell, you gonna tell me that wasn’t planned?”

Of course Remington did it on purpose, he said coldly.

That thing from four years ago, I haven’t even settled the score with you, and you better stay away from her now!”

The friendly look on Hogan’s face had long vanished, “The White family made a legit proposal, what’s wrong with that? Four years ago, Liz wasn’t your property”

“Ha, a legit proposal? Sounds nice! But you knew the deal with her situation in the Dashiell family, didn’t you? Grandma already said no, then you went behind her back to my parents, how’s that any different from forcing a marriage?”

Only Grandma and he in the Dashiell family would look out for Lizetta. The Whites made their move while he was away in Zion City, got shot down by Grandma, and then went after his parents.

Was it not obvious that Nathan and Hanna would push Lizetta out front when their interests were at stake?

Hogan’s handsome face turned pale as he averted his gaze from Remington’s sharp, knife–like stare.

But Remington didn’t let up, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his thin lips.

“Liz was under eighteen back then, you sent her abroad to take care of a disabled person and called it a proposal. The White family sure has guts. Mr. Hogan, you think because you’re broken and ruined, other people’s daughters are less than you and should be dragged down with you?”
