Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

In stark contrast to his previously unyielding demeanor, he now seemed struck down, silent as a stone.

Seeing Lizetta's furrowed brow and worried she might overthink things, Remington raised his voice, saying, "Let's not get worked up, Dad. I didn't come here to talk about my remarriage. That only came up because they asked, and I was just being honest." "Remington, your concerns involve the Dashiell family, right?" Camille interjected timely, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Ethan and Wendy's faces slightly shifted, with Wendy's eyes immediately welling up with tears. "What, Remington? You're turning a blind eye to Lizetta's aggression towards us, and now you're here to kick us when we're down, to mock us?" Shirley immediately started sobbing too.

Lucian scoffed, "My mom hasn't said a word, and you already feel mocked. Sounds like you know you're the joke here."

Wendy's face turned beet red with anger as she glared at Lucian. Wendy was known for her relentless nagging, while Camille, a widow for many years raising Lucian, always kept a low profile.

Lizetta, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up, not wanting Wendy to direct her fury towards them. "Mrs. Dashiell, all I did was recount the actions you and Shirley took. Then you both start throwing blame around like a family feud. How is that Remington encouraging me to bully you? Maybe I should go over the details again, let everyone here judge for themselves?"

Wendy and Shirley's faces turned pale. The embarrassing deeds they'd done were not something they could openly discuss.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, they lost their fight, and Ethan, embarrassed, shot his wife and daughter a look. "Be quiet and let Remington speak. Haven't we been embarrassed enough?"

Remington's gaze briefly lingered

between Lizetta and Lucian, a sour feeling in his heart. When Nathan

had scolded him earlier, Lizetta seemed to enjoy the show, casually sipping her tea. But the moment Wendy glared at Lucian, Lizetta immediately defended him, fearing Wendy would make things difficult for him. The difference in treatment couldn't be more clear.

He suppressed his feelings, gesturing to Cedric, who stepped forward and handed Remington a document. Remington opened it, "This document summarizes the treatment costs for Thaddeus Over the years and the monthly payment records from the Dashiell Hospital. These records show that tiz has been covering Thaddeus's treatment costs by herself, without ever using a dime of the Dashiell family's medical fund."

The Dashiell family had a special medical fund at the Dashiell Hospital, meaning any family member's treatment would be directly deducted from this fund without out-of-pocket expenses.

Hanna and Shirley had always accused Lizetta of being a leech, thinking that since Thaddeus was staying at the Dashiell Hospital, he was using the Dashiell family's resources.

Remington first handed the documents to Wendy and her daughter, "You better look closely, Wendy."

Wendy and Shirley were especially skeptical, but the records were clear as day, each payment like a slap to their faces. Their expressions were a mix of shock and confusion. How could this be? Such a massive medical bill, and Lizetta had indeed paid it all by herself, without touching a penny of the Dashiell family's medical fund.
