Chapter 180

Letitia mulled it over for a bit before shaking her head, “Nah, I can’t take off right now.”

“Getting cold feet, huh? Developed a taste for the glitz and glam of the Ramirez family?” Hawley eyed her. “Don’t kid yourself, Letitia. As long as I draw breath, I won’t let you get your way!”

She stood her ground, “I will leave, but not this instant!”

Her mom hadn’t come to yet, and Elgin’s hand was still on the mend. She couldn’t just ditch everything and bail. What was the point of leaving if you still dwell on things here?

If Letitia’s gonna hit the road, she’s gonna do it for good, no looking back.

“Ha! I can tell you’re just not ready to let go with second thoughts now, eh?” Hawley remarked. “You don’t get a say in this anymore, Letitia. There is no room in the Ramirez family for a troublemaker like you!”

“So, you used Shela as a decoy to lure me here.”

“That Shela, I’ll make her pay. She’s not getting off easy… compared to her, I’ve been merciful to you!”

With just a little more time given to her, Letitia would be ready soon to leave here.

Why the rush to push her out now?

Letitia turned and made a beeline for the door, but a bodyguard appeared out of nowhere to block her path.

“Move,” she demanded. “I’m heading back to Ivory Towers.”

The bodyguard shot a puzzled glance at Hawley.

Surprisingly, he waved his hand dismissively, “Let her go.”

Elated, Letitia quickened her pace.

But the moment she stepped out the door, a strange and faint scent hit her nostrils. Then darkness swallowed

Watching Letitia crumple to the ground, Hawley let out a cold and mocking laugh, “Ha, you’re in over your head, girl.”

He was over seventy and weathered countless storms. She was no match for him!

“Yes, boss.”
