Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1380

He looked deadly serious, his eyes swimming with desperate remorse.

He had fully expected Jerome to stop him, but instead, Jerome sat back and arched a brow, looking thoroughly entertained.

"Why stop? Keep going. Make it sound a bit more tragic, maybe I'll actually believe you."

Conrad's pathetic facade nearly cracked, but he was in too deep to back down now.

He took a breath and forced the words out.

"I, Conrad West, swear that I genuinely want to love my only daughter, Lizetta, and make amends. I will give her all the love she was denied. If I'm lying, may lightning strike me down, and may I die a terrible death!"

Internally, he sneered. It wasn't like lightning was actually going to strike him inside an office building.

Jerome nodded as if convinced. Just as Conrad lowered his hand, Jerome smiled.

"Alright. Since you're being so incredibly sincere, I'll give you a chance."

Conrad's eyes gleamed with raw relief and triumph.

But a second later, Jerome slid a corporate document across the desk toward him.

"Sign this transfer agreement, and I'll pretend to believe your little speech and have someone drive you to see her."

Jerome tapped the document dismissively.

Conrad looked down at the paperwork, and his vision instantly went black. His throat constricted, leaving him completely speechless.

It was a share transfer agreement, explicitly stating that he would voluntarily transfer all his six percent holdings in the Madden Group to his daughter, Lizetta, effective immediately.

Jerome held out a sleek pen, but Conrad refused to take it.
