Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1421

Martin West wanted Remington to suffer long-term pain. If the news of Stella West and the kidnapper's deaths had leaked back then...

First, the police might have found clues leading to Martin's dealings with the kidnappers.

Second, though Remington and the Dashiell family would be consumed by guilt, with the kidnappers dead, the matter would be closed. The grief would pass after a while.

But with Stella and the kidnappers missing, the West family could put on a show of searching indefinitely.

Because of this, the Dashiell family, if only for the sake of their reputation, had to help with the search.

This bound the two families together tightly.

Remington would remain perpetually guilty, and Martin reaped numerous benefits from the Dashiell family's remorse, using that very guilt to torture Remington at every turn.

Realizing all this, Lizetta truly ached for Remington, who had been played by the real culprit for so many years.

Remington had genuinely treated Martin and Barbara Jones West with the utmost filial respect, as if they were his own parents.

"Martin hates me. He blamed Stella's death entirely on me. He couldn't bear to see me happy, nor did he dare tell his wife and son the truth, so he just kept deceiving everyone..." Remington said, his voice somber.

Lizetta scoffed.
