Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 58

The butter put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to zip it. If their conversation got overheard by a third person, both the butler and Letitia would be toast

After the butler left, Letitia couldn’t calm her nerves for the longest time.

From the butler’s spiel, the Ramirez family was the cream of the crop in AquaCity, all glitz and glam on the outside, but with lots of skeletons in the closet. Like, for instance, Phedra being Elgin’s stepmom.

But… Letitia had never heard a peep from Elgin about his birth mom. And Phedra seemed to have been in the picture for ages, with Elgin not warning up to her one bit, not changing his indifferent attitude or showing her kindness.

Could it be, Marcel’s death was tangled up in some family power play?

Letitia’s thoughts were getting clearer, she felt like she was on the verge of something big.

Just then, her phone buzzed, which caused her train of thought derailed.

“Hello?” Letitia answered, “Hey there, who’s this?”

“Letitia, it’s me.”

Walden? Letitia glanced at the phone screen, it was an unknown number.

“I’m calling from a new line because you wouldn’t pick up mine,” said Walden, “and I didn’t want Elgin to see and get the wrong idea, maybe take it out on you.”

“Let’s not keep this up. I’ll pay you back the cash tomorrow.”

“It’s not about the money, Letitia, Walden insisted, “You said before that Preston was innocent, and I took it to heart. I’ve been pulling strings left and right to re-examine the case”

Letitia’s grip on her phone tightened, “You’re investigating?”

“Yes. And I’ve got a lead.”

“What is it?” she perked up. “What did you find?”

“Can we meet in person? It’s too much to unpack over the phone,” Walden suggested, “after all… it’s big stuff.”

Letitia agreed without hesitation, “Sure, where are you?”
