Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

"Since I know you've left, I have a responsibility to ensure your safety. I can't rest easy if something happens to you. It's not difficult for me to arrange for someone to protect and take care of you covertly." Upon hearing Jerome's words, Lizetta's heart completely relaxed.

She thought to herself that, even though she looked good, she was now a pregnant woman. Someone like Jerome has probably seen all kinds of beauties. How could he possibly be interested in a pregnant woman?

She expressed her gratitude again and added, "Mr. Madden, I've actually reached out to a friend from college. She's studying here now and has already found me a place to stay. I'll just move in with her." Indeed, Lizetta had made plans with her friend. Without any arrangements, she wouldn't dare venture out in her condition.

However, Jerome interjected, "Given that the Wests are still looking for you, you're not completely safe now. If you go to your friend, you might inadvertently put her in danger. Besides, Remington hasn't given up looking for you. With his resources, it's only a matter of time before he checks your old acquaintances and locates this friend of yours."

Biting her lip, Lizetta had to admit Jerome had a point.

Clutching her phone a bit tighter, she finally asked, "Hasn't he given up searching? Has it caused you any trouble?"

"He scoured Summer City for an entire day and night, and has now returned to Zion City. You can rest assured in the place I've arranged for you, and let Dora take care of you. Should you still feel uneasy, you're welcome to resume dancing at Madden Dance Studio, how does that sound?"
