Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 254

She was already claiming the kid was Remington’s and still they wanna drag her to the OR? Crazy old woman!

“Don’t even start about your granny. She’s the epitome of integrity, pure as snow. If she knew her own granddaughter was out wrecking homes as a homewrecker, she’d break your legs herself! Since you say I’m like a granny to you, let me school you the way she would!”

Seeing Fiona’s heart was as hard as iron, not giving an inch of mercy, Evelina was boiling with hate and suddenly turned her guns on

Lizetta.

Through her tears, she pleaded, “Liz! I know you hate me, but my kid with Remington is innocent! He’s got Dashiell blood, and getting rid of him will jinx Fiona’s luck and life. Please, beg her for mercy for me!”

Evelina was making a scene, hoping to draw a crowd.
