Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 138

He’s already starting to miss Letitia. Even though he nearly crippled his hand because of her!

Shela wouldn’t spill the beans for love nor money. “My only condition is to stay by your side, Mr. Ramirez I don’t want anything else!”

She’s no fool. Houses and cars are just items; once you take them, there’s no more.

But staying by Elgin’s side means she can keep asking for stuff forever and ever!

“Fine.” Elgin suddenly said.

Shela paused for a second, then happily exclaimed, “Mr. Ramirez, I knew you still had feelings for me!”

“You don’t want anything, then there’s nothing to have,” Elgin spoke up. “Move out first thing tomorrow morning.”

“What?”

“I’m respecting your wishes, you said you wanted nothing.”

Elgin stood up and strode out. He didn’t have the time or luxury to dawdle here.

“Mr. Ramirez. Mr. Ramirez!” Shela panicked, grabbing him, “I. I really do love you…”

Elgin cut to the chase, “Do you want it or not?”

“I do” Shela gritted her teeth. “Apart from Breezy Bay Condos, I want a villa in the suburbs, a townhouse in the city center school district. And a car, plus… ten million dollars!”

Now that things had come to this, Shela had to look out for herself.

A house, a car, and ten million dollars would set her up for life!

Elgin knew she would make demands, she was just playing of the heartbroken lover before.

As soon as he said he’d take everything back and give nothing, Shela’s true colors showed.

To Elgin, giving her these things was no big deal.

“No problem. Elgin responded. Til have Ranen handle the property transfer and the ten million dollars will be transferred to your bank

Shela finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least with this much dough secured, she felt at ease.

However, she still put on an act, “Mr. Ramirez, I don’t know what kind of love potion Letitia has brewed for you, but what I want to say is, I’ve been here waiting for you. Whenever you miss me, you can always come back to me…”

Elgin, expressionless, had already walked away.

As Shela saw him off to the elevator, her demeanor screamed reluctance, “Mr. Ramirez, I’ll be waiting for you to look back.

Elgin didn’t utter a word.

As the elevator doors closed, Shela’s face twisted in anger.

“Nice move, Letitia But you think that’s enough to beat me What a joke! Letitia, you lost your child, and Elgin, you lost yours too! You’re the real losers! Heh, with such great news, I should spread the joy even more.” Shela seethed, “Just you wait!”

She still had the ultimate weapon to bring Letitia down! She wasn’t the pitiful one. She got the house, the car, and the cash The pitiful ones were Letitia and Elgin!

They had lost their own flesh and blood without even knowing it!

Downstairs, a car was already waiting. Elgin got into the back seat. To the hospital.”

“Yes, Mr. Ramirez.”

He asked again, “What has she been up to today?”

The missus has been quiet, stayed in her room all day, and even had a good appetite.”

This unusually compliant Letitia… was somewhat abnormal.

in the hospital room.

Lendia, looking at the fancy meal in front of her, picked up the fork and ate leisurely.

Cigin walked in and sat down beside her, but she treated him as if he were invisible.

haven’t eaten yet Elgin said.

He frowned. “Can’t you be a little considerate, wornan?”

He had been busy with work, dealing with Shela, and now rushing to see her… And she didn’t appreciate it one bit.

There are plenty of women who would dote on you, who’d be over the moon to cook and clean for you,” Letitia sald. “Why bother getting the cold shoulder here?”

She was the only one who dared to give Elgin the cold shoulder.

The servants, overhearing their conversation, were too scared to even breathe, silently bringing new tableware.

Elgin ate elegantly. Eating by her side seemed to make even the food taste better

“Oh, by the way.” Letitia suddenly remembered, “let’s get a divorce.”

He paused mid-bite, his face tuming stormy in a blink of an eye.

“My child is gone, the Ramirez family won’t back me up anymore. You’re free to marry Shela, Letitia said. “We can put a full stop to our marriage.”

“I’d advise you to take back what you just said

But Letitia went on. The agreement is signed, we agreed on 3 months. I want to get it done.”

With a slam, Elgin threw down his fork.

“Why are you getting angry?” Letitia looked at him sideways. “You’re the one who drafted that divorce agreement and had me sign it.”

Do you really want to infuriate me?”

“Im just reminding you of the things you’ve done. After saying that, Letitia continued to eat.

Just as she reached for the food with her chopsticks, Elgin flipped the table over in one swift move.

Well, there goes dinner.

“Letitia, are you determined not to live well?” he thundered.

“Ever since you came into my life, I’ve never had a good day.”

“The past is the past, and we have the future!”

Letitia clenched her teeth and suddenly threw down her fork as well.

“The past? Tell me how to get past it?” she looked at Elgin. “You make it sound so easy! You weren’t locked up in a mental institution for two years, you didn’t endure torture, live like a dog, eating leftovers, sleeping on the floor!”

“Because back then, I had no idea I’d fall in love with you!”

“Ha, so love is the all-purpose excuse, huh? Because you love me, I should just forget all the suffering and be with you? What gives you the night?”

What gives him the night indeed!

Elgin could love, hate, torment at will! Was she supposed to just go along with it?

Elgin stared at her, his eyes nearly shooting fire, veins throbbing in his forehead.

Every single time… every single time he was driven mad by Letitia!

One of these days, she was going to be the death of him!

Furious Elgin was still very dangerous.

Letitia was worried too, thinking that if she ticked him off, she’d be the one ending up getting hurt and tormented. But Elgin’s tone was super chill.

“Alright, I can give you some time to get over it,” Elgin said. “Lay it on me, what are your terms?”

want a divorce.”

“No way.

Letitia went on. “I want you to let my dad go”

Not happening.”

snorted, “You won’t allow anything. Looks like we’ve got nothing to talk about.”

sh your luck!” Elgin snapped. You’re crossing the line, asking for stuff that’s non-negotiable!”

you’d cay no to all of it, so i was asking them on purpose.”
