Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1308

"Rumor has it that you are the grandson-in-law Mr. Madden is grooming. Does that make you and Mr. Dashiell romantic rivals?"

...

The car came to a complete halt. Jerome glanced out the window, offering the cameras a refined, elegant look as he spoke.

"My last name is Madden, and Lizetta is a Madden. As for whether the Madden Group and the Dashiell Group will join in marriage, that depends entirely on whether Mr. Dashiell can win over my sister."

At Jerome's words, a brief hush fell over the crowd. Before the reporters could fixate on that particular question, Jerome seamlessly pivoted to address their earlier inquiries.

"Eartha Porter Madden was indeed the person responsible for switching the babies. She has now been formally indicted on multiple counts of attempted murder."

"Was this a crime of passion? Does the death of the late eldest Madden daughter, Elsa, have anything to do with Eartha?"

A reporter immediately seized the opening to dig deeper.

Jerome looked over, a flicker of appreciation in his eyes.

"When my Aunt Elsa was alive, she considered Eartha her absolute best friend. She trusted Eartha so implicitly that she placed her own daughter in her care, never suspecting that Eartha had already swapped her baby. However, the police have not found any definitive evidence linking my aunt's death to Eartha, so I will refrain from speculating."

Jerome adopted an expression of profound grief, prompting another reporter to eagerly chime in.

"Did Mr. West know that Miss Madden was switched? Was he involved in Eartha's scheme all these years?"

Jerome had deliberately steered the conversation toward Eartha specifically to drag Conrad West into the spotlight.

Hearing the question, his expression darkened, his face hardening as he offered a cryptic response.

"No comment."
