Chapter 142
“I was only spitting straight facts here!”
“What facts? The fact that I married Elgin, or the fact that I miscared?”
Either way, it’s more than Malinda can bear! Which mom doesn’t ache for her own child!
Shela swallowed hard “Anyway, it’s all true! I didn’t make any of it up!”
Letitia was seeing red, “You just wait right here, don’t you dare move a muscle, and you better pray that my mom is okay!”
“It ain’t my fault if she isn’t!”
“Shela!” Letitia shoved her hard, and the catfight began.
You don’t mess with a someone’s parents Today, Shela was going to pay the price!
Shela wasn’t going down without a fight, grabbing Letitia’s hair and giving it a good yank
When chicks scrap, it’s all about hair pulling and clothes-ripping
The onlookers didn’t know how to jump in and help, so they just stood there, freaking out.
Meanwhile, at the Ramirez Group.
In the president’s office, Elgin was in a meeting with a handful of company execs.
“Mr. Ramirez!” Ranen burst in, looking all kinds of anxious
Elgin shot him a glance. “What’s got you so spooked? Spill it”
“It’s Mrs. Ramirez she’s throwing down at the sanatorium!”
“Throwing down?!”
Elgin snatched his car keys and made a beeline for the door, blowing off the meeting that was halfway done!
The execs exchanged glances. Mrs Ramirez she’s got some serious fire in her.
Just the other day. Mrs. Ramirez was all sweet and cutesy on the phone, cooing at Mr. Ramirez with a voice so tender it could melt hearts. And now? She’s rolling up her sleeves and fighting!
What kind of wild card did Mr. Ramirez marry!
Elgin raced to the sanatorium, “Who’s she scrapping with?”
“Shela Ward
“What’s it about?”
“Mrs. Sanders had to be rushed into surgery, looks like Shela said something that ticked her off.”
Elgin’s face turned stormy Shela, always stirring up trouble! Such a pain in the neck!
Outside the OR, it took the bodyguards a heck of an effort to pry Letitia and Shela apart
Judging by the injuries. Letitia had the upper hand, with just some messy hair
But Shela, her clothes were ripped to shreds, barely covering her up, her face scratched up, and clumps of her hair strewn all over the floor, courtesy of Letitia’s pulling power.
“Letitia, you’re going too far!” Shela clutched her front, I’m going all in!”
She lunged again, but Letitia just sneered, “Think you didn’t get enough? Bring it on, I’m not scared!”
Thinking of her mom on the brink, Letitia wished she could wipe Shela off the planet!
Just as they were about to go at it again, a commanding voice rang out, “Everyone, back off!”
Elgin had arrived. The sound of his dress shoes hitting the floor grew louder and closer
“Mr. Ramirez!” Shela sobbed, “You finally show up, If this goes on, Letitia’s gonna beat me to death
Elgin furrowed his brow, his face stone-cold as he took in Shela’s disheveled state
His gaze quickly shifted to Letitia. She was okay, she hadn’t lost. A weight lifted off Elgin’s heart
am going to beat you to death,’ Letitia said, “You will see!”
Just then, the OR doors swang open. The doctor emerged, serious-faced, “The patient’s critical, we need a family member to sign and make the payment now!”
spoke up. Do whatever it takes, spare no expensel
He knew if anything happened to Malinda, Letitia would shatter.
I do anything, just save my mom!” Letitia pleaded with her hands clasped in front of the doctor, “Please!”
“We’ll do our best!”
The OR doors closed again.
Two hours had passed, and the surgery showed no signs of wrapping up!
Letitia’s legs gave out, nearly collapsing
“Careful.” Elgin stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her.
Letitia wasn’t having it, shoving his hands away, “Don’t touch me!”
He pursed his lips. “Why you snapping at me?”
“Shela’s getting away with murder because you’ve got her back!” Letitia yelled. This isn’t her first rodeo!”
Shela cried foul, I didn’t do a thing Mr. Ramirez, I swear, I was just chatting with Malinda! I didn’t lay a finger on her! She’s sick, maybe it was just bad timing that she took a turn for the worse!”
She was twisting facts again.
Letitia pointed at her, “So what did you two chat about, huh?”
“I. I can’t remember!” Shela said. “Just some small talks!”
“You’re scared to say!”
“I seriously can’t remember, Shela shrugged, “You pressuring me won’t jog my memory.”
Letitia’s eyes landed on her ring
Fine. Shela won’t talk. No worries, she’ll find out!
Shela wore her ring today, the bug was still there, recording everything!
Letitia said, “Just you wait, Shela!”
“What, you beat me up like this and you want more?!”
“I do, I want to hit you again!
Seeing Shela in that state, Letitia was fuming, ready to jump her again.
But Elgin held her back, “Enough already.”
“You’re stopping me? Letitia turned to him, “What, feeling sorry for Shela?”
Elgin ordered the bodyguards, Take Shela away.”
“Yes, Mr. Ramirez
“Don’t you dare leave! Letitia shouted, “She’s responsible for my mom’s crisis, and she thinks she can just walk away? No way!”
“Her sticking around is pointless.
Letitia countered, Elgin, are you covering for her?”
He didn’t respond. His lack of response prompted a chilling laughter from Letitia, “What if I decide to take her on right now?”
“Not in front of me, no way”
Although he was not into Shela, and even less into her antics, he couldn’t deny their fleeting one-night fling. He still felt like he should acknowledge the history of that night.
Shela’s eyes darted around, and seeing the situation, she immediately burst into tears, “Mr. Ramirez, you have no idea how heavy Letitia’s slap is, my face is gonna be wrecked, and I’ve lost so much hair… how am I supposed to live like this?”
“Go home and treat your wounds!” Elgin’s voice was deep and stern. “Useless, what are you waiting for?”
That was when the bodyguard quickly stepped in, grabbed Shela by the arm, and escorted her out.
Lettia wanted to go after her, but Elgin wrapped his arms tightly around her walst, “Looking for another round?”
“Fight Id smack her down again in a heartbeat!” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’re really feisty
Yep in not the delicate, crybaby Shela. Letitia looked up at him, “Seeing her all beat up, does that make your heart ache?”
