Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 883

Stella, in a fit of rage, hurled her phone across the room.

Margaret gasped in shock, frowning deeply. "What the heck are you doing?!"

Margaret's eyes flashed with disdain at Stella's defeated posture. She stepped forward, taking Stella's hand. "Why are you giving up so easily? If you back down, Lizetta, that little witch, will win. And let's not forget about Yolanda, loud and obnoxious as ever. They'll be living it up, flaunting Mrs. Dashiell's title while dancing on our heads. Are you okay with that?"
