Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

\"Yoli!\"

Lizetta took a step forward, but Remington stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

\"Let them explain. There must be some misunderstanding.\"

Lizetta furrowed her brows. Although Cassius's behavior tonight made her feel even more disappointed than she had been with Remington in the past, Cassius didn't seem as protective or concerned about Margaret either.

Lizetta hesitated for a moment and then turned to another bodyguard, instructing him.

\"Follow them and make sure Yoli isn't put at a disadvantage.\"

After the bodyguard followed, Lizetta looked back up at Remington and said,

\"Thanks for tonight, and for the trouble Mr. Temple went through. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll head out now.\"

Lizetta nodded at both Remington and Timothy before stepping out of the VIP room.

As her figure disappeared, Timothy nudged Remington with his elbow, teasing him,

\"Man, she's got a heart of steel. You've done so much, yet you let those gossipmongers do the talking for you. But, dude, the way Lizetta looks at you is just like how she looks at me...\" All distant and polite.

However, before Timothy could finish, Remington turned to look at him.
