Chapter 119
Eigin shorted with a sheer, âYou sure you want me to spill the beans? Or would you rather less up yourself?â
Mark panicked, completely lost his footing, and dropped to his knees with a thud.
Talk about a guilty conscience!
Elgin lifted his foot and aimed a kick at his chest, âShelaâs already confessed, and here you are, still putting up a front!â
That kick was hefty, and Mark was sent flying, crashing to the ground, coughing over and over, struggling to get up.
What? She confessed? What did Shela spill? Or did she spill everything?
Clutching his chest, Mark was both shocked and scared, âMr. Ramirez, Shela, she-she.â
Elginâs face was frosty as he pressed on, âIâm giving you one last chance.â
Mark was dumbfounded, he had no clue what Shela had revealed.
Was it a fake pregnancy, a miscarriage? Or was it about that night?
Surely Shela wasnât that foolish!
After thinking it over, Mark began knocking his head to the ground, âIt was all my idea, Mr. Ramirez Be it the pregnancy or the miscarriage, I was the one doing it, I bribed the doctor! She she didnât want to do any of it, it was me who kept on persuading and pressuring her!â
âEvery time she saw you, she was down in the dumps, feeling like you didnât kke her, lacking a sense of security I couldnât bear to see her so upset, so so I came up with this plan to make you pay more attention to her!â
âMr. Ramirez, please donât blame her, itâs all on me-come at me with whatever youâve got! Punish me! Shelaâs innocent
Mark was shouldering all the blame Now, he was ready to sacrifice himself to save Shela!
Elgin looked down on him from above. Thatâs it?â
âNo⦠no moreâ Mark shook his head nervously, Her intentions were all because she likes you, Mr. Ramirez!â
Hearing this Elgins frown deepened. Is this what they call liking someone? Turning deception into affection?
Elgin didnât want to bring up the miscarriage again-he had been so anxious back then.
He even neglected Letitia, who had also fallen down the stairs.
And it turned out it was the father-daughter duo had been plotting against him!
Tm asking you,â Elgin nudged Mark with his shoe, since youâre so good at giving Shela ideas, clever enough to play me⦠was that night we spent together also thanks to your bright ideas?â
Because Shela was so different from the girl that night, he had his doubts
Heâd even sent people to double-check privately, but the results⦠were the same as before.
Now, with this fake pregnancy and miscarriage stunt, Elginâs suspicions were reignited.
He was always distrustful, never putting faith in others, only in himself!
âMr. Ramirez, that night, I really donât know what happened!â Mark pleaded, âI donât have the means to get Shela into your hotel room!â
Actually, when Elgin asked that question, Mark knew the score.
2 5 5
Shela hadnât confessed about that night.
Good!
That was the bottom line! As long as Mr. Ramirez believed he slept with Shela, there was still a chance for them to turn things around! So, Mark immediately started making excuses.
Elginâs gaze darkened as he stared at him, âReally You keep deceiving me, you know what the consequences will be.. you understand, right?
âOf course, of course!â
âBut feel like thereâs something youâre still not telling me
As his words fell, Elginâs shoe came down hard on Markâs fingers.
ffcole crushed the bones of Markâs fingers.
ressure, and the crunching of bores could be clearly heart
pet it! Elgin demanded. âWhat really happened that night!â
Mr Ramirez. I truly donât know. Ah!â
âFine, when you figure it out, thatâs when youâll save your hand!â
Ar this rate, Markâs hand was going to be ruined.
He kept screaming. âMr. Ramirez, I swear Iâm telling the truth.. I donât have the power to deliver Shela to your bed! I was even pushed to the point of handing her over to some old geezer!â
âDo you remember? Youâve seen that old guy! He took a fancy to Shela, specifically asked for her, and 1, being useless and spineless, had no choice but to comply.â
âBecause of this, Shela and I nearly cut ties! Luckily, that night she was sharp and ran away, ended up in your roorn in her frantic escape⦠otherwise, her life wouldâve been ruined! Ouch! It hurts!
âMr. Ramirez, spare mel With your immense power, how could I have plotted against you from the start!
Elgin slowly withdrew his foot.
Mark lay on the ground, looking at his motionless fingers. His bones were nearly shattered.
âSo that night, Elgin began, it was Shela.â
âOf course it was her! You checked yourself!â
Elgin fell silent. After a while, he said coldly, âEven if it was her that night, what sheâs done now means she doesnât deserve to stay by my side!â
âNo, Mr. Ramirez, it was all my idea, Mark took the blame again, âShela initially didnât want to, didnât want to tie you down like this. It was me forcing her, and she agreed.
âGet lost Elgin kicked him again.
Mark, in pain, scuttled away. âWhatever the case, Shela loves you. At least at least sheâs better than Letitia, right?â
âBetter than Letitia?â
âYeah, youâre putting up with Letitia carrying someone elseâs kid! Why canât you give Shela a chance when sheâs only messed up a little?â
Elginâs face turned as dark as night. âWho said I am putting up with that bastard child!â
He would get rid of it! It was just a matter of timing!
How could he possibly keep a child that wasnât his!
âSo youâ¦â
âGet out!! Elgin swept everything off the desk onto the floor, his eyes bloodshot with fury.
Mark, terrified by his demeanor, nearly passed out and scrambled out of the study as fast as he could, not daring to look back, fearing heâd be too slow.
Sounds of destruction echoed throughout the villa from the study. The butler and the servants all listened from the first floor, none daring to check what was happening
When Mr. Ramirez was in a rage, whoever got close was asking for trouble!
Elgin propped himself up on the desk, his surroundings a hot mess-papers strewn all over the floor, broken glass, you name it.
His bangs hung down, covering his eyes, while his chest heaved up and down, breathing heavily
âDamn it, damn it!â
He slammed his fist onto the desk, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Just moments ago, when Shelaâs fake pregnancy was exposed, he wasnât even this pissed.
He just felt like a total fool
The great President Ramirez, played like a dummy by Shelaâs little ruse.
Thatâs why Elgin was more than just mad-he was livid.
Because no one gets to con him like that!
