Chapter 3

Boom! Elgin smashed the phone to smithereens, rage flashing in his eyes. “Go after her, now! She won’t get far!”

Ivory Towers was ablaze with lights that night, buzzing with cars and people coming and going-

Letitia was holed up in a grimy and stinky sewer, barely dodging Elgin’s henchmen hot on her tail.

In the chaos, she bolted down the hill and made a beeline for the prison to see Preston

“Dad…”

“Sweetheart! Thank God’ You’re alive!” Preston was beside himself with joy, tears streaking his face. “I thought you

were…

“Dad, I came to ask you what happened with Marcel’s death?”

“I don’t know The medicine I used was correct! Sweetheart, do you believe me?”

“I do.” Letitia bit her lip hard, nodding her head.

So, someone had framed her dad. She never owed Elgin a thing, let alone any redemption!

“We’ve been set up, but what’s done is done. We can’t do anything to change it now,” Preston sighed deeply. “Sweetheart, you must look out for yourself.”

Letitia, gripping the phone, looked steadfastly through the glass at Preston. “Dad, I’ll find the evidence to clear your name.”

After visiting the prison, Letitia headed to the hospital to see her mom. But before getting to the hospital entrance, she spotted several guards in black suits!

Letitia quickly ducked out of sight.

Elgin had her pegged. He knew she would appear at the hospital and had his guys there waiting early.

If she got nabbed and hauled back, she would be in for a hellish nightmare of torture!

While Letitia was brainstorming how to slip past the bodyguards, the giant electronic screen across the street flickered and switched to AquaCity’s financial news.

Elgin’s handsome mug was front and center.

Standing in front of the office building of Ramirez Group, clad in a black shirt, he was a force to be reckoned with yet looked effortlessly cool, his lips curled in a half-smile and half-smirk.

Beside him, a swarm of reporters bombarding him with questions.

“Mr. Ramirez, is it true that you’re dipping your toes into showbiz?”

“Will the Ramirez Group’s acquisition plans be completed on schedule?”

“Mr. Ramirez, paparazzi snapped pics of you at the city hall yesterday. Were you there to…”
