Chapter 179

He knew that if he backed down in front of his grandpa again, his marriage to Letitia would only face fiercer opposition from the Ramirez farnily!

So he couldn’t give an inch but come out on top!

Staring out into the night from his window, Elgin thought that a happy marriage should come with the family’s blessing perhaps.

Hmm… He was determined to fight for Letitia. That day would come.

At the sight of her nonchalance, Elgin squinted his eyes, “What did grandpa say to you?”

“Nothing.”

“Don’t lie to me.”

“There’s nothing to tell,” Letitia responded, “I’ve been at Ivory Towers the whole time.”

Elgin said, “I’ll get you back to the company and return your freedom. But right now…”
