Chapter 167

“Do you think i buy that? I know you way too well. You’re thoughtful as a perfectionist… and Letitia is your ger. You’d freak out if even a hair on her head was harmed, so you have planned everything down to the smallest detail

Elgin looked at her ‘Letitia is in your hands now, I’m not about to make a rash move. I came alone to show you In here to negotiate in good faith.”

There’s nothing to negotiate about!”

It give you anything you want, everything.” Elgin insisted, his gaze fixed on her, “as long as it’s within my

power

“Really? Anything at all?”

Yest

Shele retorted. You know, Letitia said the same thing earlier. You two are a match made in heaven!”

Letitia cast her gaze upon Elgin. He bore a cooler demeanor than usual, yet a closer inspection revealed a flicker of panic in his eyes. He was filled with fear. Fear that Letitia might sustain harm or even depart from his life permanently.

That was something he couldn’t bear. So, he was ready to go all out to save her… even if it meant sacrificing his life

“Spill it” Elgin finally spoke, “Shela, let Letitia go, and we can talk about anything.”

“If I let her go. I lose my last resort!”

Shela’s spirits were running high, with her hands trembling. Thus, the knife was dangerously close to Letitia’s

neck, deepening the cut.

Blood kept flowing.

The stark red was a stab in Elgin’s eyes.

“You can come at me.” Elgin said, “even hold the knife to my throat… but please, I beg you, let Letitia go.”

Shela burst into laughter, “What was that you said just now?”

“Please, I’m begging you, let her go.”
