Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizette frowned, her fists clenching slightly as she averted her gaze, only to meet Evelina's mocking stare.

It was as if Evelina was saying: Listen up, Lizette. Remington will never believe you. He'll always let me, Evelina, off the hook.

Lizetta pinched her fingertips as Evelina's confidence swelled, pointing accusingly at Lizetta.

"Sis, you've already robbed me of my life, why do you still insist on assuming the worst of me with such malice?"

Her voice was laced with grievance as she turned to Barbara and Martin, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, Dad, you heard what Mr. Dashiell said. How could I lie to you? Quinn's gone, and here I am, I'm pregnant and being cyberbullied, and the Hawthorne family has gone bankrupt. Even my parents blame me. I'm just a fragile woman in need of care and warmth. The pressure was too much, so I made mistakes! I know I was wrong, and I want to be a good mom! Please, give me another chance. I'll prioritize the baby from now on. Once the baby's born, I'll raise him to be as outstanding as Quinn."

"Martin, no matter what, the child is our grandson, and we must protect him! Otherwise, I'd be ashamed to face our son on the other side," Barbara immediately declared her stance.

Martin nodded, "Of course!"

He turned to Remington, "Remington, can we perhaps discuss Evelina's mistake after the baby is born? As godparents, we're pleading with you."

Seeing Remington remain silent, he glanced at Stella.

Stella, with tears in her eyes, shook her head, "Dad, sis-in-law is indeed at fault for ruining Remington's wedding. It's understandable that Remington is angry and wants to punish her. Maybe we should just leave her to Remington. We have to trust Remington; he won't harm Brother's child."
