Chapter 132
“Elgin loves me, but he can’t accept the kid. Now that I’ve miscared, he wants us to go back to being a normal, loving couple”
Shela just shook her head like a bobblehead toy, “No way, it’s not happening!”
“You don’t believe me? Go ask him yourself.”
“How could Mr. Ramirez possibly fall for you!” Shela was on the verge of losing her voice, unable to wrap her head around it, “You’re the daughter of his enemy**
“Love is love, he admitted it himself,” Letitia edged closer, lowering her voice, “But I don’t love him. So tell about who the guy was that night, and I’ll leave and you’ll have the chance”
Shela wiped the grime off her face, falling into silence
Even knowing Letitia was the enemy’s daughter, and not even realizing she was the woman from that night. Elgin still fell for Letitia. He must have deep feelings for Letitial
“So, you confess or not? Letitia pressed. “You think you can keep this secret for a lifetime?”
Shela glared at her, “I won’t tell you, not now not ever!”
The man in question was Elgin himself! How could Shela spill those beans!
Some secrets are meant to die with you, never to see the light of day!
“Alright, alright. Letitia nodded. “Looks like you haven’t had enough to drink. Come on, I’ll take you somewhere else.”
She grabbed Shela by the shoulders, hauling her to her feet
“Letitia! Let go, where the heck are you taking me!”
To the loo, the toilet
Shelas face went white as a ghost, “I won’t go! Help, somebody help me. What are you all standing around for, you’re just gonna stand there and watch me dnnk toilet water. Help!”
No one stepped forward.
Shela had always been too high and mighty, ruining her relationships with others
Plus, during her time in Ivory Towers, she’d been a real pain to the staff, always nitpicking and ready to fly off the handle, which only made things worse.
So watching her now in this state, they were secretly enjoying the show! They were just itching for Letitia to step in and give this
clueless mistress a taste of her own medicine!
The missus was usually too nice, but she really should’ve put her foot down like this more often!
At the edge of the toilet bowl.
“I’ll give you one last chance, Shela. If you keep mum… Letitia wamed
“Just wait, Letitia, just you wait! You’ll pay for this, and I’ll make sure it’s double the trouble! Shela shot back
“Elgin doesn’t even want to see you, you think you’ve still got a chance to turn things around? Letitia sneered
“Of course, I do!”
Letitia shrugged, “You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Ten seconds on the clock, starting now”
Dead silence. Shela clenched her teeth, staring at the toilet water, and began dry heaving
“Five, four, three, two, one…”
Time’s up, and without a moment’s hesitation, Letitia shoved Shela’s head into the toilet
‘No, stop! Help…
Letitia was quick, precise, and ruthless. This time, she didn’t pull Shela’s head back up but kept it submerged.
“If you’re ready to talk, nod,” Letitia commanded, “If not, enjoy your time in the toilet
Shela’s hands flailed in the air, kneeling before the toilet, unable to lift her head or open her mouth for fear of swallowing the toilet
Until
Letitie, Elgin’s voice cut through. “You done causing a scene?”
turned to see the handsome man who had appeared at the bathroom door
At the sound of his voice, Shela struggled even harder.
Letitia could barely hold her down.
With the floor wet and slippery. Letitia staggered back a few steps, nearly losing her balance.
Elgin quickly stepped forward, stretching out his arm to wrap around her waist and pull her into his embrace, “Be careful.”
Letitia fell into his arms, safe and sound.
Shela also managed to get up, soaked through, looking like a wild woman on the run.
“Mr. Ramirez’ Finally, you’re here!” she cried, “This woman has been bullying me, dunking me in water, refusing to let go. She’s trying to kill me if you were any later, I would have drowned!”
Letitia replied, poker-faced, “Well, you’re not dead yet, are you?”
“You… but you are after my life!”
“Right Not just yours, I want Elgin’s too
Shela quickly looked at Elgin, crying out, “Did you hear that? How malicious she is!”
Elgin pursed his lips, looking Letitia up and down to make sure she was alright.
Well, of course, she was; his people were here, and he had given orders-she was meant to be in good shape. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Still… the moment he heard the news, he rushed over. What if Shela had hurt her?
“Why did you leave the house? I told you to reflect on your actions, Elgin said coldly, “Can’t you go one day without stirring up trouble?”
Shela froze, “Mr. Ramirez, you… you’re blaming me?”
Letitia didn’t expect Elgin to react like this. He had seen with his own eyes that she was the one bullying Shela. A strange feeling spread through her heart.
So this is what it feels like to be favored, to be unconditionally indulged and protected…
It was the first time Letitia had experienced this But it seemed… it was too late.
Why did you come to the hospital? Elgin frowned, “Do you take my words for nothing but wind?”
The disgust and contempt in his voice were unmistakable.
Shela played her victim card again, “Mr. Ramirez, I know you’re upset about the fake pregnancy thing. I realize my mistake now. It’s okay if you don’t forgive me, but to side with Letitia. I’m heartbroken.”
“She made me drink dirty water, toilet water, I’ve never been so humiliated in my life. I was hoping you’d come, and yet you… you’re siding with her.”
“Mr. Ramirez, regardless, we had feelings for each other. With that, she reached for Elgin’s sleeve, but Elgin dodged swiftly.
Now, when he looked at Shela, there was not a trace of affection left
As for that one night, he would take responsibility and compensate her.
“Go home,” Elgin said. This isn’t the place for you.”
“I just wanted to..”
“You guys talk,” Letitia suddenly interjected, ‘I’m tired, I need to rest a bit.”
She just snapped Elgin’s hand away and took off without a backward glance.
Elgin watched her retreating figure, his eyes darkening
“Look at her, acting all high and mighty, snubbing you like that, Shela immediately griped “A woman like that ain’t worth your time… Mr. Ramirez, you should dump her and marry me!”
“Don’t come and bother her again!” With those words, Elgin strode off to catch up with Letitia.
Shela watched their receding figures, her eyes brimming with jealousy and spite.
Back in the mental institution, she was the director’s little princess, everyone kissed up to her. So, in her mind… she was the only one who ever got to bully Letitial
