Chapter 7

It was indeed a small world when enemies crossed paths.

Letitia glanced sideways and found Phedra and Raizel sitting by the window and staring her down in unison. She instantly made for the door, knowing it wasn’t the place to stick around.

But Raizel wasn’t about to let her off the hook that easily!

“Hey! You dirty cleaner, hold up! Raizel marched over and yanked Letitia to Phedra “Phedra, what did you just call her?

“Mrs. Ramirez, duh!”

“What? She she’s Elgin’s newlywed wife?”

Phedra nodded in confirmation Yep I saw her myself when I dropped off soup for Elgin at Ivory Towers No mistake about it!”

Elgin had her back then, leaving Phedra with a taste of her own medicine

Phedra, being small-minded, still held a grudge, plotting to get even someday!

Phedra was skeptical. “For real?”

Raizel recounted the whole thing, adding, “And Elgin didn’t lift a finger to help her!

“Ms Morris, maybe you should check your eyes at the hospital.” With that, Letitia attempted to leave

Phedra blocked her way this time. “Fine, let’s say Raizel made a mistake. But I’m your mother-in-law, right? You can’t even say hello when you see me?”

“Phedra, I didn’t recognize..

Phedra shot her a knowing look.

As a seasoned schemer, Phedra had quickly sized up the situation. It couldn’t be more evident that this Mrs. Ramirez was not the favored one. Or why would she be shining Raizel’s shoes without Elgin backing her up?

Elgin had never liked her and always been at odds with her. So what she saw was probably a show staged for her
