Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 15

Letitia bolted out of the company and hailed a cab

She pulled out all the cash she had and shoved it into the driver’s hands, “This is all I’ve got, please, I beg you, take me to AquaCity Detention Center

The driver saw how pitiful she looked and agreed to help her out

When Letitia arrived. Preston was sprawled out on a stretcher. His arms and thighs were covered in burn marks. His eyes were half-open, and he kept repeating how much it hurt.

“Dad!” Letitia rushed over “Dad, look at me, it’s Letitia What happened, how did my dad get burned so badly!”

The guard replied. “He did it to himself. We’ve got nothing to do with it.”

“Where is the surveillance footage? I want to see the whole incident!”

Sorry, sweetheart, the footage here isn’t for just anyone’s eyes.”

Letitia gritted her teeth, You. You’re pushing me too far!”

He tried to reach for the blisters from his burns, but Letitia grabbed his hand, “Dad, hang in there, I’m taking you to the hospital right now!”

“No can do, he’s a prisoner in custody, you need proper authorization to take him out.”

Hadn’t he tormented her enough?! Even her father, who was serving time, wasn’t spared!

“I’m gonna see Elgin, I’m going to him right now. Letitia cleaned her tears, trying to get up

But just as she stood up. Shela strolled in, a smug smirk playing on her lips. With a gloating tone, she said, “Letitia, save your breath. Elgin despises you so much, he just wants to see you suffer!

“Was it you?” Letitia shot back.

“I was bored and thought I’d come to see how your old man was doing Shela replied “Who knew he’d accidentally knock over a kettle and scald himself like that”

That’s impossible! You did this!”
