Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 9

In a flash, everyone’s faces in the room changed.

“Elgin, you’re the ultimate disappointment!” Hawley was shaking with anger, “Her father killed your dad, and you, you

still…”

Phedra quickly tried to calm things down. “Hawley, cool your jets. Take care. Gosh. I spilled the beans to you right after | heard about it to brainstorm what to do about this mess.”

“Divorce! It’s gotta happen ASAP!

“Elgin, don’t get me wrong. Phedra said with mock sincerity, “you getting hitched is a big deal, but you didn’t even tell us. How could you bring the enemy’s daughter into the family?”

Elgin had cut off Phedra’s three years’ worth of living expenses. How could she swallow that pill?

Since she couldn’t get to Elgin, she took it out on Letitia by hiring a gumshoe to dig up dirt.

Unexpectedly, they had dug up a bombshell about Letitia’s secret identity!

Without hesitation, Phedra ratted out to Hawley, piling on the pressure on Elgin.

She wanted to lay it on thicker, but Elgin’s fierce glare shut her up, though her face screamed ‘not fair’.

“Yep. She’s Dr. Sanders’ daughter,” Elgin replied, “But how can we punish the next generation for the sins of their forebears?”

Letitia gave him a surprised look. This guy was such a smooth talker, but he had got a bone to pick with her!

Hawley banged his cane hard. “You must be out of your mind! Elgin, don’t forget you’re engaged, and it was your dad’s arrangement!”

“I’ll only marry the one I like.”

“You… Hawley clutched his heart, nearly gasping for air.

Letitia stood by Elgin from start to finish. She was nothing but a prop who could not speak unless Elgin signaled her to.

She was also clueless about why Elgin wanted to marry her. That was what Letitia thought, and before she knew it, she had blurted out, “Why don’t you marry Raizel?”

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted it.
