Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 326

Remington hadn’t expected to be pushed away by Lizetta, who, it seemed, had taken Hogan’s side in this quiet drama unfolding in the heart of their small town.

As Remington stood there, a chill seemed to envelop him, his gaze fixed on Lizetta, lips pressed into a thin line.

Lizetta, under the intensity of his stare, felt a mix of irritation and sadness, as if someone had sprinkled salt on an open wound, the pain gnawing at her from the inside.

For a moment, she nearly gave in, almost ready to apologize without pride.

But she clenched her fists, holding back.

Seeing her stubbornness, Remington’s eyes gradually cooled, his emotions settling into a quiet resignation as he let out a scoff, “Impressive, really,” he said, before turning and walking away, leaving Lizetta standing alone.

Watching him go, Lizetta felt a sting in her eyes, a wave of emotions welling up inside her.

“Liz, I’m sorry. I should’ve woken you,” Hogan said, his brow furrowed in regret as he watched Remington’s retreating figure.
