Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 923

The contrast was truly heartbreaking.

Remington looked a bit hurt, standing his ground by the door.

Lizetta said, pushing Remington with more determination.

Clinging to the doorframe, he pleaded, "You take your call. I won't interrupt or make a sound."

It was his last stand.

The video call had been ringing for a while and suddenly ended on its own.

Lizetta let out a sigh of relief, only for the ringtone to erupt once more, sounding even more urgent.

Worried that her grandpa might be getting anxious, she didn't have time to deal with Remington anymore.

She gave him a warning gesture to keep quiet, then turned to the couch to answer the call.
