Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

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, Dr. Preston is top notch How could such a huge mistake happen under his watch, leading to a life lost?”

“There was no mistake on my dad’s part

“What did you say

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!”

Letitia, equally determined. Till get to the bottom of it One day, I’ll clear my dad’s name and put an end to all this hate.”

“Letitia, how are you going to do it alone? If Elgin catches wind, he’ll make it harder for you! Let me help you!”

“I don’t even know where to start, you can’t help me right now. But thanks for the offer.”

Letitia managed a weak smile and turned to head back to the event

“So it’s a two-hundred thousand dollar emerald and you drop two million on it,” said Samson, stroking his beard in contemplation. He turned to Elgin, What’s your game plan, Gin?”

“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!”
