Chapter 106

Preston slammed right into the butler. The massive impact twisted the butler’s face with pain, bending him over at the waist, and he knelt there on the ground for ages before he could get up.

Preston didn’t hit the pillar, but he staggered back quite a few steps, dizzy and disoriented for a while, before finally crashing to the ground and passing out.

Years of prison life had taken a toll on Preston’s physical condition.

“Dad- Letitia sprinted over, “Dad, wake up, don’t scare me, I can’t lose you!”

Preston slowly opened his eyes, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out

Letitia was freaked out

Mrs. Ramirez, don’t… don’t worry,” the butler struggled to his feet, “Mr. Sanders is fine, probably just a slight concussion, he’ll be alright after a couple of days of rest”

Letitia finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Butler, thank you, really, thank you so much…”

She wasn’t sure how to express her gratitude, after all, the butler had saved her father’s life.

“No worries, Mrs. Ramirez, as long as Mr. Sanders is okay.”

Letitia cleaned her tears and looked up at Elgin who had been standing by the whole time, watching the whole drama unfold like a

spectator.

He was tall and dignified. Next to him, Letitia felt like a clown.

Take my dad back, she said, “I promise you, I’ll apologize to Shela… until she forgives me!”

Elgin looked at the butler, “You heard her, get on it.”

“Yes, Mr. Ramirez.”

A few bodyguards lifted Preston into the car and took him back to prison.

Watching the car disappear from sight, Letitia’s heart clenched tightly, unable to calm down.

“Always have to learn the hard way, don’t you? Gotta hit rock bottom before you start looking up,” Elgin remarked coolly, “Letitia, why bother?”

She turned her head to look at

him.

“Why bother?” Letitia replied, “Should a person never resist under oppression, just take it lying down like a puppet? Resistance might be futile, but without it, there’s definitely no chance. You have to fight for yourself!”

Elgin’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “How many times have you fought, and what have you actually gained, huh?”

She bit her lip hard.

“More torment,” Elgin said, “Letitia, you’re really something.”

He turned and walked towards the Ferrari parked in the garden, “Get in.”

The hospital.

As soon as she heard familiar footsteps outside the door, Shela immediately changed from her relaxed posture, messed up her hair, and pretended to be weak and despondent.

Soon after, Elgin entered the room.

“Mr. Ramirez. Shela slowly sat up from the bed, and upon seeing Letitia behind him, her emotions surged, “Why is she here!”

Letitia didn’t utter a word.

Shela pointed at her, “Get out, I don’t want to see you! Letitia, you’re the murderer of my child, you’ll get what’s coming to you! Leave!” Elgin frowned slightly.

“Mr. Ramirez, I’ve been having nightmares every night, dreaming of our child, he was crying and asking me why I didn’t protect him. Every time I wake up, my pillow is soaked with tears.

Especially when I think about how Letitia’s child is safe in her womb, I can’t stand it, it’s so unfair…” Shela’s cries filled the room. (etitio spoke emotionlessly, “Yes, you’re innocent, and you’re heartbroken. I’m here to apologize.

Sheta was taken aback. Oh, she’s willing to apologize now? She wouldn’t bend a knee at the beginning! What’s changed?

Sevels quickly realized, heh, just because Letitia apologizes, does that mean shell accept it?

No way!

‘I don’t accept your apology,” Shela said, “Leave, Letitia, I don’t want to see you, get out!”

She started throwing whatever was nearby at Letitia.

First, it was pillows, clothes, and the like.

Seeing they did little damage, Shela looked around and grabbed a glass from the bedside table.

*Letitia, you should just die, never show your face to me again!”

She huried it with force, but Letitia quickly dodged. The glass flew past her with a whoosh, shattered against the wall, and exploded into fragments.

As it broke, the shards flew, one slicing across Letitia’s cheek.

A thin cut appeared, and blood, slowly seeping out.

Letitia touched her face, that stung a bit

But Shela didn’t stop there, still tossing things at her, “Letitia, give me back my child, I hate you, I despise you!”

What a shrew. Letitia couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, she just ducked behind Elgin.

“Throw away, smash away, do whatever you want. Elgin, with his towering height, could shield me perfectly” Letitia thought.

“Ah! Seeing this, Shela screamed in frustration.

“That’s enough, you’ve just had a miscarriage, you need to rest,” Elgin finally said, “Letitia knows she’s wrong, and she’s here to apologize.”

“Heh, apologize? Her knees wouldn’t bend even with my dad pressuring her! Why the sudden change of heart today?”

Letitia peeked out from behind Elgin, “Because your child is gone, and mine is still here. On that account, I don’t mind admitting my fault.”

“You, you are evil!”

“Sorry,” Letitia said, “When I fell, you kindly tried to help me, and ended up tumbling down the stairs with me. It’s all my fault, you’re so kind, pure, innocent, and helpful, you don’t deserve this pain.”

“That’s not an apology! There’s no sincerity!”

‘I’ve detailed the whole incident, admitted where I was wrong, aren’t you satisfied? Letitia asked, “When I fell, I couldn’t control my strength, how was I to know you’d try to help me, it was just a split-second thing.”

Shela bit her teeth, “You’re not even a bit sincere in your apology!”

“I’m standing right here, isn’t that enough?”

“Hmph, I didn’t hear it!”

Letitia cleared her throat and apologized again, “I’m sorry, Shela, it was totally on me, and you’re innocent. You and Elgin are young and healthy, once you’re back in tip-top shape, you guys will have kids again, as many as you want. Go for it, the more the merrier, right? But seriously, now’s not the best time to have a bun in the oven, especially since you haven’t officially joined the Ramirez clan yet. No ring, no strings it’s not gonna sound too hot if word gets out. Anyway, we’ve got all the time in the world, and you will become Mrs.

–

Ramirez sooner or later So please spare yourself some trouble and don’t hate me so much, okay?”

Shela’s face turned sourer by the second. Even Elgin couldn’t help but purse his lips after hearing that.

You could say it was an apology – Letitia seemed to have come with all sincerity.

But then again, it didn’t really hit the right note, something was off… yet you couldn’t quite put your finger on what was wrong with it.
