Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 339

Lizetta stared blankly as Evelina’s lips moved, her mind sluggishi

Flashes of the past danced before her eyes indeed, nothing good in this world come without a reason

She still remembered that snowy night when she was carried into the Dashiell mansion by the young Remington. He had taken care of her, cleaning her wounds with a gentle voice, soothing her fears, and even offering her a sweet piece of candy

She thought she was lucky enough to catch his eye, to be favored by him

But she had forgotten, Remington was never a man of overflowing sympathy.

Even then, his personality was aloof and cold, difficult to approach.

He was also a neat freak – her, covered in grime and blood, he would never lower himself to care for without a good reason.

And that reason turned out to be so cruel!
