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!

Lizetta closed her eyes briefly, hiding the bitterness and pain in her gaze.

She didn’t want to give Evelina any more reasons to laugh at her.

“Are you done?” Lizetta opened her eyes, her expression now forcibly calm.
