Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Martin's voice was firm, "I told Stella, Remington. If you have suspicions and think this has anything to do with the West family, then bring forth the evidence. Call the cops for interrogation, make it so the West family has no room to argue! Otherwise, you owe Stella an apology!"

Martin knew Remington had no evidence. If he did, he wouldn't be standing here alone; he would have had the police here already.

Thus, Martin was exceptionally calm, and equally indignant.

Remington glared at them, his voice cold, "I may not have proof, but last night, when Hans made his move, and Evelina happened to fall and go into difficult labor, pulling me away... Don't you think that's a bit too coincidental?"

Hans had only been out of jail for a short while. Alone, he couldn't possibly have that much influence.

Regrettably, despite pressing Hans earlier, Hans truly didn't know who was behind it all.

Someone had simply provided Hans with money, a place to hide, and assistance, yet had never shown their face.

The mastermind was cautious, making several indirect moves in their dealings with Hans.

But Remington wasn't entirely empty-handed; he just needed more time to investigate.

"Remington, the guards watching over Evelina were your men. Evelina's fall was just an accident. How can you baselessly suspect me because of this?" Stella asked in disbelief.
