Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Remington froze, turning his head to gaze deeply at Lizetta.

"Can't wait, huh?" His voice was low, tinged with a hint of self-mockery.

Lizetta nodded, "You promised me."

She feared Remington might go back on his word, especially after the recent captivating performance by the West family, which truly scared her. Remington's lips tightened slightly as he glanced at his watch.

"We won't make it today. We need the lawyer to draft a new divorce agreement. The long flight...it's too much for you. Go back and rest for now." Saying this, he directed Ray.

"Back to the mansion."

Ray, understanding his boss's orders, immediately started the car.

But Lizetta was furious, disregarding the setting, she leaned forward, straddling Remington's legs, and grasped his collar fiercely, glaring at him.

"Remington, you're lying to me again, aren't you! All those promises were just tricks to get me back!"

She tugged hard enough to leave red marks on his neck, but he didn't move, allowing her to vent her anger.

He leaned back in his seat, a bitter feeling in his heart.

He suspected that if he didn't properly end this marriage, she might strangle him with the intention of leaving him for dead.

Remington managed a wry smile, gently rubbing Lizetta's hair, struggling to speak.

"We now have Daisy. We need to settle custody issues, hence the need for a new divorce agreement. The old one won't work anymore. You have to give me time to let the lawyer prepare, right?" Lizetta frowned, "How long will that take?"

"I'll instruct the lawyer to deal with it now, and by evening, we can review the divorce agreement together. We'll go to the civil affairs office first thing in the morning."

Seeing his serious demeanor, Lizetta calmed down, realizing he wasn't trying to deceive her.
