Chapter 107
I’m not buying it! Not for a second!” Shela glared at her. “Your talk is cheap!”
Letitia was all in anyway. With Elgin using her father to threaten her, she had no choice but to play ball.
“What do you want from me?” she spread her hands. “Get down on my knees?”
She would do it. As for pnde? That ship had sailed
“Heh, Shela’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Begging was your option from last time. Now… it’s not that simple!”

Letitia’s brow furrowed.
She heard Shela spit out, “An eye for an eye. Letitia, only if your kid’s gone too will I think about forgiving you. Otherwise, forget it!”
Letitia’s hand instinctively covered her belly. No way on earth!
But then, Elgin’s voice floated lightly, “She has a point.”
Letitia truly panicked this time.
With Elgin on her side, Shela found her backbone, “Mr. Ramirez, you agree, right? Our baby didn’t deserve to die for nothing. And Letitia’s carrying a bastard child. Get rid of it!”
Shela couldn’t help but think.. if Mr. Ramirez personally took care of Letitia’s pregnancy, that would be sweet justice. She was almost giddy with anticipation!
Mr. Ramirez would never know he was offing his own flesh and blood!
Letitia shook her head firmly. “You can’t do this. Shela, your miscarriage was a tragic accident, and you want me to terminate mine on purpose? That’s no different from murder!”
“My baby died because of you!”
“It was an accident! I fell down the stairs too!TM
Shela snorted, “You pulled me down on purpose before you fell!”
Letitia was shaking with anger. That woman was always twisting the truth, setting her up!
She began to back towards the door, step by step, “Shela, I’ll never agree to this!”
“Letitia, that mongrel should’ve never existed,” Elgin’s gaze landed on her belly, “now’s a good time to take care of it.”
He’d been irked for a while. The baby was a constant reminder that Letitia had another man in her heart! For him, she was willing to start a family, to give her all!
Elgin was green with jealousy!
Shela quickly echoed, “Exactly!”
“No, way!” Letitia’s stance was unwavering.
Tension thickened, ready to explode.
A melodious ringtone broke the silence.
Elgin answered, “Hello?”
“Mr. Ramirez, the Jewelry Department is having a meeting, but we can’t reach Mrs Ramirez Ranen’s voice came through. “Are you with her?”
“Yeah”
“We’re launching a new season’s designs, and she is the head designer. She can’t miss it.”
Letitia clung to this lifeline, “I have to go to the office! Ramirez Romantica is just picking up steam, and there’s lots of work!”
She turned on her heel and bolted.
“Hey. Letitia. Shela threw off the covers, ready to chase her down.
But remembering she was supposed to be ‘recuperating from a miscarriage’, she begrudgingly lay back down.
“Mr. Ramirez her voice oozed faux sweetness, “she didn’t come to apologize, did she? She came to upset me *
sort this out Elgin walked out without glancing back.
Ps you faded as he vanished from sight.
chapter 107
Never had Letitia been so eager to get back to the office. The Jewelry Department needed her, “Ramirez Romantica” needed her. She was a valuable, modern woman, not some manipulative witch like Shela!
Meetings, brainstorming… the hustle kept Letitia’s mind off the mess.
By the time she took a break, it was evening. Her stomach growled with hunger.
Vidonia approached with a meal box, ‘There you go, knew you’d be starving my godson.”
Vidonia, you’re the best Letitia beamed, digging in.
‘Elgin hasn’t been hassling you, has he? Spill it if he has
“Nope, it’s all good”
Vidonia eyed her. “Don’t you dare hold back with me.”
“Got it, got it.”
Vidonia was protective, but Letitia wouldn’t dream of dragging Vidonia into her mess.
Besties look out for each other.
Vidonia wanted to help, but Letitia wanted her to stay clear of the drama.
“Yo, there you are.” Samson returned to the Jewelry Department, saw them, and smirked mysteriously. “Come to my office, got something cool to show you, hot off the press”
“What is it? Vidonia asked.
“You’ll see ”
In the office, Samson whipped out a red velvet case from his briefcase. As he unwrapped it, he teased, “Keep your eyes peeled, don’t blink, you’re about to be blinded by the bling…”
When he finally revealed the contents, Samson gloated, “Well? Bright enough for you? Sparkly enough?”
Both Vidonia and Letitia were speechless. That was Shela’s wedding ring.
“I did the design,” Letitia coughed, “thought it was something else.”
Vidonia smirked. The ring’s done, huh? Honestly, it’s a bit tacky-like bling overload, but it’s definitely lavish and shiny, screaming ‘new money, screams nich
A ring piled up with cash, a diamond centerpiece surrounded by rare red gems, even the setting was platinum.
It was not refined, but definitely a showstopper – It was exactly Shela’s style.
“Just received it from abroad, Samson replied. “I was near the airport, so I picked it up. Still gotta show it to Gin, it’s for his bride-to-be…
He knew Vidonia couldn’t stand Shela, so he steered clear of naming names.
Vidonia scoffed, “If I ever get hitched, there’s no way I’d want a ring like that. Tacky!”
Letitia chuckled, picked up the ring, and gave it a good once-over.
The ring was a real showstopper, huge, with the rock in the middle glittering like crazy, a whopper at ten carats.
And it was crafted with great attention to detail, well, it had to be, given its hefty price tag.
Seeing Letitia ogling the ring, Vidonia nudged Samson with her elbow, “This is your fault. What’s the big deal showing off this thing anyway!”
I just thought I’d share the good news with you guys right away.”
Samson, typical guy, just didn’t have the fine-tuned sensitivity of a woman.
Letitia all of a sudden asked, “When are you giving the ring to Elgin?*
“Tomorrow, I guess Samson replied, “It’s too late today, he’s already headed home.”
“And when’s he planning to give it to Shela?”
How should I know.”
Letitia tumed to him, “Mr. Stewart, can I borrow the ring for a couple of days?”
