Chapter 118
Sh zoned out for a while, then finally resorted to crying a river to Elgin, “Mr. Ramirez, I-I messed
up… Please forgive me, I swear! won’t make the same mistake again, pleasel”
Too bad, her tears didn’t do squat with Elgin. He wasn’t buying that act.
Sh had cried too many times and he was sick of it
Elgin stood there, stone-cold, not a shred of emotion on his face.
“Sh, I’ve turned a blind eye to your shenanigans before, let you run wild. But you crossed the line,
big time”
“Mr. Ramirez, no, please don’t kick me out.”
“Haven’t I been good enough to you?” he asked, “You dare fake your miscarriage today, who knows
what crazy thing you’ll do next time!” Sh shook her head frantically, saying, “I won’t dare, I really
won’t ever again. Mr. Ramirez, do you remember when you found me, you said you’d been looking for
me for so long.”
Elgin’s face was unreadable, “If I didn’t have a heart, you wouldn’t be standing here crying your eyes
out!”
Those who deceived him never ended well!
Letitia stood by the perfect spectator.
Sh had dug her own grave
It was up to Elgin to decide her fateplete disappointment or a sliver of mercy.
Of course, Letitia wished Sh would just vanish for good. But there seemed to be a secret between
Elgin and Sh that she wasn’t privy to
Either way, Sh was down and out for the count this time, wouldn’t dare cause trouble anytime soon.
“Butler Elgin bellowed, “Get Sh out of here!”
“Right away, Mr. Ramirez.”
The butler summoned two security guys, they grabbed Sh by the arms, left and right, and dragged
her out as she screamed her lungs
out
Sh kept wailing, heartbreakingly so, “I won’t go, I want to stay. Mr. Ramirez, I truly realize my
mistake, just give me a chance… Mr. Ramirez!
Elgin turned his back, sped his hands behind him, looked up slightly, eyes closed.
Until Sh’s voice faded into nothingness, he remained still, a statue in the quiet room.
What just happened seemed like it never did.
“You’ll forgive her, won’t you,” Letitia said, “after all, you have a thing for her.”
Elgin’s adam’s apple bobbed. “Where did you get the idea I like her? Did I ever say that?”
“If you didn’t like her, why marry her? Why put up with her?” Letitia couldn’t help but wonder, “Did Sh
save your life or something? Are you repaying a debt?”
He nced at her sideways, brows furrowed, “You’re the enemy’s daughter, and I married you, didn’t
I?”
“You said it was a form of atonement, not a joyride.”
“Hmm, d you remember.”
Letitia shrugged, “After marrying you, I’ve paid too high a price. I can’t forget, and can’t afford to forget,
gotta keep myself on my toes.”
Elgin slowly faced her, eyes meeting hers, “Letitia, with Sh, it’s just obligation, it has nothing to do
with feelings”
Even if he kept reminiscing about that one night, it was just his own memory.
Shete could never bring back the feel of that night.
“Obligation? She really did save your life, huh?”
“Something like that”
Letizia was more confused What’s that even mean? What really happened between them?
Forget it doesn’t matter, she didn’t ask
She spoke early, Elgin, now i can tell you straight up didn’t push Sh down the stairs, didn’t try to
harm your child. Letitia, don’t
a lite Whitever you decide about Sh, to forgive or to cut ties, that’s on you, not my business The one
thing the grateful for
is my child’s well” With that, Letitia turned and left.
Just as she reached the door, something crossed her mind, “Just a heads up, faking a pregnancy and
then a miscarriage, Sh couldn’t have pulled that off alone. As to who’s helping her, I reckon you’ll
figure it out”
She left without looking back, leaving Elgin alone in the living room, powerful yet so isted.
He held sway, everyone tiptoed around him, deference in spades.
But in reality, he felt lonely, all the time.
Sh yed him like a fiddle, treating the news of carrying his child as a joke, a bargaining chip, it was
utterly infuriating!
“Go,” Eiginmanded, his voice icy. “bring Mark to my study”
“Yes, sir!”
Mark had no clue what was going on, he hadn’t met with Sh
When he heard Mr. Ramirez was summoning him, even sent a luxury car, he was over the moon,
thinking it was about wedding dowry or
something.
Mr. Ramirez’s dowry, it’d be the talk of AquaCity!
In the study
“Mr. Ramirez, you wanted to see me,” Mark beamed, “What’s so important thiste?”
Elgin stood by the window, hands behind his back, “Very important.”
“Is it about your mamage to Sh? She often talks to me about it, says she won’t marry anyone but
you. And you and Letitia have signed the divorce papers, just waiting for the time to ”
Elgin turned around, his gaze sharp as a de!
It scared Mark speechless. “Mr. Mr
“How I am with Letitia is none of your business!”
“Yes, yes, I just.” Mark, temfied of offending Elgin, pped himself in panic, “I should keep my mouth
shut, please don’t mind me!”
“What else has Sh told you?”
Mark shook his head vigorously, “Nothing else, no_”
“She told you about the pregnancy first, didn’t she.”
“Yes, she wasn’t feeling well, she was throwing up I took her to the hospital and found out.” Mark
exined, “I may run a mental hospital, but I know a bit more medical stuff than the average Joe”
Elgin stepped closer, pressing. “Really?”
“Yes, yes”
Elgin’s presence was overwhelming, his gaze alone made Mark’s palms sweat.
“After Sh had her miscarriage, you were the one taking care of her, right?”
“Yeah, well,” Mark began toy it on thick, “her mom passed away early on, and I’ve been ying both
mom and dad to her I owe her big time. Luckily, Sh is one sensible kid…”
Mark rambled on and on until he sensed something was off in the air
When he looked up and caught the icy look in Elgin’s eyes, his legs turned to jelly, and he abruptly
stopped talking, not knowing how to proceed.
“Go on Elgin raised an eyebrow. “Why the sudden silence?”
Ramirez. 1. What is this about?”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
