SWNOVELS Chapter 123
Chapter 123
She needed to keep that bug in sight, it was her ticket to some important info!
Like, who’s the baby’s daddy’ Letitia believe that Shela would discuss about it with Mark!
Chapter 123
She’s gotta be patient and wait for that day to come!
Mr. Ramirez, even Letitia can walk all over me now. Shela sobbed. “Did you ever think that she might be bad news too? I faked a pregnancy, but she’s carrying another man’s baby! That’s a slap in your face!”
Mark immediately chimed in. “Exactly! When Shela dragged her down the stairs with her, she was just trying to lend you a hand, to make Letitia really lose the baby! Otherwise, if word gets out, where would that leave your reputation?”
The father-daughter duo had Letitia in their crosshairs
Just as Letitia was about to say something. Elgin cut in. “I will handle her myself!
“Mr. Ramirez..
“Get lost” Eigin’s eyes were fierce, “Reflect on yourself!”
Shela’s bluster was shattered by his roar, meekly she said, “I’ve been reflecting all along. Mr. Ramirez. No matter what, my love for you is real, and so was that night
She even dabbed at the comer of her eye, trying to milk some sympathy.
“I fake a pregnancy and you get mad, yelling at me. But Letitia carries another man’s child, and you put up with it. Why, aren’t you going to make her get rid of it, what are you waiting for?”
Every other word from her mouth was about the baby in Letitia’s belly.
This father and daughter, their hearts set on making her abort the baby, hadn’t changed a bit!
Suddenly, Letitia stepped forward and slapped Shela twice across the face.
“Ah! Shela screamed, Letitia, how dare you hit me!”
“Yeah, I hit you, and I meant to, Letitia said, pulling back her hand, “And I wanted to do it right in front of Elgin!”
“Letilia, now you’re stepping all over me! Mr. Ramirez, you’re just going to stand there and watch me get humiliated…” Shela cried and wailed, her voice carrying far
Lucky that Ivory Towers was big, or they’d be the neighborhood spectacle by now.
Letitia crouched in front of Shela and whispered so only they could hear-
“You better not mess with my kid again, or I’ve got ways to make your life even more miserable! Shela, you’re probably clueless about how I found out about your lake pregnancy and miscarriage, right? Let me tell you, I’ve got dirt on you, lots more secrets!
My kid is where I draw the line I couldn’t touch you before because Elgin had your back, so you kept bullying and framing me. It’s different now you’re in hot water, still daring to target my child, I’ll make you pay in blood! If my child gets even a scratch, your life won’t be worth living
Letitia’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, and Shela, stunned, felt it was somewhat like Elgin
Staying by Elgin’s side, Letitia had learned to be just as decisive and ruthless!
It took a while for Shela to come to her senses Gritting her teeth, she said, “Are you threatening me?”
“Yep!”
“Ha. Letitia, I’ve got dirt on you too. If I can’t turn things around, I swear you’ll never know who the father of your child is!”
With that, Shela tried to stand up. But Letitia was quicker, her hand pressing down on Shela’s shoulder, pinning her back down to kneel straight.
“I don’t need to know, I can raise the child on my own, Letitia said “Now Shela, get out, immediately!”
“Hmph, like I’d ever listen to you!” Shela, used to looking down on Letitia and always having the upper hand, quickly regained her composure, not the least bit afraid.
“Mr. Ramirez!’ she looked up, “Til admit that I deceived you, but I still feel it’s unfair!”
Elgin spoke coolly, “Fair?”
“Yes. Compared to a fake pregnancy and carrying another man’s child, which is harder to swallow? Obviously, it’s the latter! At least I’m pure and only yours!”
Secing Elgin’s expression darken, Shela pressed her advantage, “Mr. Ramirez, I repent, I’ve been contemplating my actions, but, I want you to get rid of Letitia’s child’ Otherwise, it’s just not fair to me!*
Naturally, Mark was on his daughter’s side, “Right, Mr. Ramirez, that’s a man’s line in the sand, who could tolerate that?”
eta clenched her fits tightly. Even in the midst of trouble themselves, Mark and Shela were determined to pull her down with them
Chapter 123
What should she do
Then Elgin’s steady voice rose, “I will deal with it in my own way, it’s none of your concern.”
Mr Ramirez, can you really stand it?”
“Of course not,” he replied, “but it’s not your place to tell me what to do! Bodyguard!”
“Yes, Mr. Ramirez.”
“Take them…” Elgin had barely started speaking when suddenly a “ding dong” chimed.
The distinct sound of an email alert on a phone.
And the source of the sound was… Letitia’s phone.
“Who’s emailing you so early in the morning?” Elgin’s piercing gaze swept over, “Hmm?”
“I, I haven’t checked, probably someone from the office”
Letitia’s heart raced, but she tried to appear calm.
She had a hunch.. that email was from Walden! After Walden went abroad, their only contact was through emails, and it was Walden sending them one-way, she never replied.
For fear of Elgin finding out
She didn’t expect her inbox to ping night now!
No matter how much Letitia tried to hide it, she couldn’t escape Elgin’s sharp eyes.
The slightest bit off, and she couldn’t slip past him.
“Hand it over” Elgin reached out, palm open.
Letitia swallowed hard, “Hand… hand what?”
“Your phone. I want to see your emails.”
“I already told you, it’s from the company…”
Elgin’s voice grew stern, “Hand it over!”
Letitia hesitated. If Elgin saw it, it would be over. But not handing over the phone would arouse his suspicion
After a few seconds of thought, Letitia slowly reached into her pocket…
All she could do was silently pray to the heavens that the email wasn’t from Walden, and if it was, it shouldn’t mention anything about investigating Marcels death!
Otherwise, she was toast!
Elgin was staring at her with laser focus, not even blinking.
Letitia had just whipped out her phone when, outta nowhere, Shela pounced like a cat and snagged the phone right out of her hands!
“Shela!” she cried out totally shocked.
Shela was no dummy. Letitia hemming and hawing like that made it obvious that email was shady business! Of course she’d jump at any chance to knock Letitia down a peg!
“Give it back!” Letitia lunged to grab it.
But she was a second too slow. Mark zipped over, stepping in front of her, and yelled, “Shela, check it!”
Shela’s face lit up like she’d just hit the jackpot, like she’d saw some earth-shattering secret.
Letitia’s heart skipped a beat!
