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 Sh would discuss about it with Mark!


    She’s gotta be patient and wait for that day toe!


    Mr. Ramirez, even Letitia can walk all over me now. Sh 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 p in your


    face!”


    Mark immediately chimed in. “Exactly! When Sh 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!”


    Sh’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 theer 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 pped Sh twice across the face.


    “Ah! Sh 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…” Sh 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 Sh 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! Sh,


    you’re probably clueless about how I found out about yourke 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 Sh, 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 Sh toe 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, Sh tried to stand up. But Letitia was quicker, her hand pressing down on Sh’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 Sh, get out, immediately!”


    “Hmph, like I’d ever listen to you!” Sh, used to looking down on Letitia and always having the upper


    hand, quickly regained herposure, 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 thetter! At least I’m pure and only yours!”


    Secing Elgin’s expression darken, Sh pressed her advantage, “Mr. Ramirez, I repent, I’ve been


    contemting 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 Sh were determined


    to pull her down with them


    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 ce 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 thepany…”


    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 withser focus, not even blinking.


    Letitia had just whipped out her phone when, outta nowhere, Sh pounced like a cat and snagged the


    phone right out of her hands!


    “Sh!” she cried out totally shocked.


    Sh 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, “Sh, check it!”


    Sh’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!
