Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 52

“Mrs. Remirez’ is actually very nice, always treating us with a smile, never barking orders at us. I’ve been by your side and seen so many people, and I can sincerely say that Mrs. Ramirez has a genuinely good heart”

Elgin shot the butler a glance, “Zip it

The butler then silently took out fifty thousand dollars. It was the money that Letitia had painstakingly picked up one by one yesterday.

Elgin slammed the bowl and spoon down hard

The surrounding servants were so scared they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

“What’s she trying to say?” Elgin asked, “Huh?”

The butler was keeping his mouth zipped.

“I’m telling you to talk now!”

“Mr. Ramirez, I honestly have no clue, Mrs. Ramirez asked me to give this to you, the butler replied, “The hospital called, Mrs. Sanders’s condition can’t be put on hold, if she needs her meds she’s got to have them ASAP. The longer the delay, the worse she gets”

Elgin’s face tumed stone cold

“Mrs Sanders was in a vegetative state, and now she’s woken up, thanks to the doctor’s work and her own fierce will to live. Mr. Ramirez, you’ve practically cured her, what’s the big deal with this last step of giving her the meds?”

Elgin spoke solemnly, “You always seem to be backing Letitia, intentionally or not.”

“L… I’m just telling it like it is.”

The butler was an old hand, used to be with the Ramirez Mansion, sticking with Marcel

After Marcel passed away, he moved to Ivory Towers, managing all sorts of things.

It could be said that he watched Elgin grow up, just like a father would.

“What’s Letitia given you.

huh?”

“Nothing. Mrs. Ramirez couldn’t possibly give me anything.”

Letitia was in too deep herself, barely keeping her own head above water.

Elgin scoffed, his eyes landing on the bowl of hangover soup the butler had conspicuously placed in plain view.

After a long pause, he finally said, “Tell the hospital, give this month’s meds…

“Mr. Ramirez!” Shela’s voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him. She rushed in, all concerned, “Did you sober up? I was so worried about you last night, I barely slept.”

“Last night?”

“Yeah, I took care of you in the bar for a long time… Mr. Ramirez, don’t you remember?”

He grunted, “I don’t remember anything.”

Shela pouted, “You drank so much, I couldn’t stop you. You must be feeling rough, got a headache?” As she spoke, she reached out to touch his face, but Elgin dodged her.

“Ms. Ward, the person who brought Mr. Ramirez home last night was Mr. Stewart, the butler reminded from the side.

Shela shot him a glare. That butler is annoying, always against her!

“I know, Mr. Stewart said it was too late, told me not to follow,” Shela replied. “Mr. Ramirez, what were you saying about meds? For whom?”

“None of your business.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

*For Letitia’s mother? You mentioned it to me last night.”

Eigin’s brows furrowed deeply. What exactly had he blabbered and done after getting drunk?

Shela swiftly said, “Mr. Ramirez, you shouldn’t save Letitia’s mother. She’s ungrateful, saving her is pointless!”

“Do you even know what you’re talking about?”

She didn’t even know Malinda, yet dared to judge her. Elgin’s disgust grew.

Shela seemed like a totally different girl compared to that night… or was it the drug that distorted his memory?

I’m serious,” Shela answered. “If you save her, you’re only harming yourself! Mr. Ramirez don’t go soft it’s like nourishing a beast that will eventually turn against you!”

Elgin, head aching from her shrill tone, said coldly, “Get out.”

“You have to trust me, I have proof! Proof that Letitia and her mother are not worth saving!”

“Evidence?”

“Yes.” Shela took out her phone. “I have a recording!”

She played the recording, and the voice filled the dining room-

Ive got Walden. He’s my boyfriend, he’s been great to me. The cost of your hospital stay, he’s been covering it

That was Leitia speaking!

Elgin’s previously calm face instantly tumed stormy!

Walden! It was always Walden! In front of Malinda, she dared to openly admit her feelings for Walden!

After a few seconds of pause, Malinda’s voice came on, “Letitia, I want to see your dad. Your father has done so much good in his life.”

“Mom, Letitia asked, “do you really think Marcel’s death was caused by Dad?”

At this point, Elgin’s pupils shrank suddenly!

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the conversation to continue.

Everyone at Ivory Towers knew Marcel’s death was a taboo in the Ramirez family, not to be mentioned in private!

“Letitia, your father is innocent, he’s been wronged.

“I feel the same way. Dad is innocent”

The recording stopped there

Shela said, “That day, I left the hospital, saw Letitia getting in a car, and curiosity got the better of me so I followed. Turned out she was visiting her mom, I was about to leave from outside the ward when I heard this conversation and recorded it.”

Elgin suddenly stood up, sweeping everything off the table! The crashing sounds of breaking objects echoed in everyone’s ears

Shela was scared too, but inside she was more thrilled.

This time, Letitia wouldn’t get off easy. Thinking of saving her mother? Dream on!

Letitia had thwarted her plans with her father, protecting the unborn child. How could Shela swallow that?

“Mr. Ramirez, I just happened to…”

“Get out!” Elgin’s eyes were bloodshot as he pointed to the door, “Everyone get out!”

He was like a raging lion, no one dared to approach.

In the dining room, only Elgin remained.

He had been a bit soft-hearted just a moment ago, thinking of letting Malinda get her regular meds.

And now? They really thought Dr. Sanders was innocent? So his father had died for nothing?

Elgin has always looked up to his father like some kind of hero, and would never allow anyone to trash- talk or look down on his father, especially not the Sanders clan!

The Sanders clan was responsible for his father’s demise, and now they had a debt to repay. They had to go through the torment and agony they deserved! They had it coming, they deserved it! And as for the meds? Dream on!

Those Sanders people, even now, they wouldn’t admit to Dr. Sanders’ sin They’ve got some nerve!

Outside.

Every now and then, the sound of something getting smashed up in the dining room would drift out, and the butler lets out a sigh

“Why the long face? It’s not your stuff getting wrecked, Shela snarked, “Listen here, you better get your head straight. Letitia might be Mrs. Ramirez now, but she ain’t calling any shots. You’d do well to figure out who’s who. I’m the one who’s gonna be the real lady of the Ramirez house!*

“You’re still Ms. Ward for now.”

“How dare you!

The butter went on, “As long as Phedras still around, you won’t be the leading lady of the Ramirez family. She’s the elder.”

“Fine, have it your way, Shela huffed, “but once I tie the knot and move in here, the first thing I’ll do is firing you!”
