Chapter 30

Walden fell silent for a few seconds before finally letting out a sigh, “I only blame myself for not being strong enough to protect you. I was shipped off abroad by my old man back in the day, and now he’s frozen my bank account”

He slammed his fist into the wall with a thud.

Letitia cracked a bitter smile. “With the Sanders family drama, everyone wants to steer clear, scared stiff of getting bumed by Elgar’s wrath

Letitia looked at him, “Walden. I’m saying my dad claims he was framed. Do you believe it?”

This secret, held closely to her chest, was one she dared share only with Walden. She knew no one else would trust her, and they’d likely even spill the beans to Elgin “I believe in your father, Walden said with conviction, locking eyes with her “There’s definitely something fishy going on here!”

“Got money to burn.” Elgin swirled the champagne in his hand, “It’s all for charity anyway Bid more, donate more, and the Ramirez Group gets a shiny rep”

“Smart cookie, Samson clapped away, “You’re the man!”

Elgin shoved the champagne into his hand, Tm rolling out, you stick around”

“What do you mean, stick around? I wanna bail too!

“Cause you’re my underling. There’s an after party after the auction, you’re going on behalf of the Ramirez Group.”

Samson gnashed his teeth, “Gin, you cold-blooded guy!”

Elgin rubbed his temples,
