Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 166

It had gotten even colder, and Letitia couldn’t stop shivering.

“Such a delicate flower, aren’t you? Just a few hours without heating, you seem to be on death’s door,” Shela dragged her out of the basement and dumped her on the ground floor, “Did you overhear my chat with Elgin? He’s on his way.”

At the mention of that name, Letitia slowly opened her eyes.

“Yes, Elgin is coming.” She clenched her teeth, “He will save me.”

“He can’t save you!” Shela bellowed, “You’re in my grasp now, and I won’t let you slip away. I’m taking you down with me! Understand? Don’t get your hopes up.”

But Letitia insisted, “He will save me.”

The more Shela thought about it, the angrier she got, and she let loose a slap across Letitia’s face, “That’s for being so stubborn! That’ll teach you!”

After the slap, Shela was still seething and gave Letitia a kick for good measure.

Muttering under her breath, “If it weren’t for humiliating you bit by bit in front of Elgin, I would’ve dealt with you. already! Do you think I’m keeping you alive because I’m scared to hurt you?”

Letitia looked at her and said, “Elgin’s so sharp and capable, are you sure to outplay him?”

“I can! Because you’re my last resort in the hole!”

“But I believe in him more,” Letitia asserted, “Because he loves me and he’ll do anything to save me.”

That comment hit a nerve with Shela.

She grabbed Letitia by the hair, “Love? Elgin loves you!?”

“Yes, he loves me,” Letitia responded, “He told me himself, more than once,”

Shela burst into laughter, “Yeah, right. That night, it was you who saved him, not me. He’s searching for you, the baby you’re carrying is his… too bad, huh? What did you end up with? Absolutely nothing!”

The child was always a sore spot for Letitia.
