Chapter 28

Letitia finally Letitia understood Shela’s ulterior motive By having her dress, Shela could leave her with nothing to wear. No way Letitia could show her face at the event now; she could either hide in the bathroom or just leave.

She was already tucked away in a corner, minding her own business. Why couldn’t Shela just back off?

“Sorry, Ms. Ward” Letitia cracked a smile, sneering, “You’re kinda on the short side, and my size… it ain’t gonna fit you. That dress would be dragging on the floor on you,” Letitia shrugged, “Wish I could help you out, but you can’t pull it off.”

“You bitch

“Wipe it off, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the restroom. I’ll wash it for you and blow it dry.”

Like Shela would go for that She was done talking. She just reached for Letitia’s dress, “You’re giving your dress to me, whether you like it or not!”

That pink dress was obviously a gift from Mr. Ramirez.

In Shela’s mindset, Letitia, having been in a madhouse, was a low-life and thus, undeserving of flaunting such an extravagant garment!!

“What the hell, Shela!”

“If you won’t take it off, guess I’ll have to lend a hand!”

In a public place like this, if Letitia got disheveled, it’d be a major face-plant. Where’s her pride supposed to go? Shela was playing dirty!

Right then, Vidonia stormed in and blocked Shela, “Whoa, whoa, what’s going on? You think you can just swipe her dress in broad daylight?”

With Vidonia pitching in, Shela was no match all by herself.

And Vidonia gave Shela a shove that nearly sent her stumbling.

“Who the hell are you!” Shela barked, “You dare to push me?”

“My name’s Vidonia!”

“I’m warning you, stay outta my way!”

Vidonia chuckled, “Well, I’m all up in it now, so what!”
