w you, Letitia.â
*Sity Vidonia sniffled, âWeâve been through thick and thin, I knewy
Letitia nodded At this point, the only person she could bare her soul to was Vidonla.
The bug in the nng is still up and running, and timeâs ticking away, Letitia said. âWho knows if we can
fish out some secrets from her before the battery diesâ
âEven if the battery runs out, Iâve got tricks up my sleeve.â
âLike what?â
Vidonia gave a mystenous gnn. âWe can cook up some excuse. Say something like the diamond
needs, a little maintenance, and Shela will hand over the ring on a silver platterâ
Letitia finally cracked a rare smile, she hoped that it will all go smoothly She didnât want to wait any
longer, didnât want to drag things out because she was truly exhausted.
Vidonia didnât leave until late.
Letitia forced down a few bites of food and lay on the hospital bed, zoning out.
Every now and then, her hand would sneak under the pillow to feel the fruit knife.
Yep, still there
âLetitia âSuddenly, a shrill and grating voice echoed from outside, âHowâs your health, huh? The kid you
worked so hard to keep is gone, must be heartbroken, huh? Hahahaha!â
That was Shelaâs voice.
âHey, hey, hey, why are you pushing me? Canât I even talk?â
âLetitia, that coward, doesnât dare to face me. Heh!â
âI came to visit, donât be ungrateful.â
Shela stood at the elevator entrance, blocked by two bodyguards, unable to get in.
She could only scream and shout to catch Letitiaâs attention.
Sure enough, the door to the ward opened, and Letitia walked out
Dressed in a hospital gown, her hair soft and loose behind her, her face pale, her eyes lifeless.
Shela was thrilled inside-this was exactly the defeated look she wanted to see on Letitia!
âLet her in,â Letitia said. âNo need to block her.â
âMrs. Ramirez. The bodyguards hesitated.
âYouâre all here, she wonât be able to make any waves.â
Shela snorted, pushed past the bodyguards, and marched straight up to Letitia. âI faked my
miscarriage, but you actually lost a baby Tell me, whoâs the more pitiful, you or me?â
She grew more smug with each word âAs for me, I still have a chance to win back Mr. Ramirezâs heart.
Just need to invest some time and effort. But you? Youâve lost the kid, lost everything!â
As she was laughing her head off, Letitia slapped her across the face.
Before Shela could react, Letitia landed several more slaps
Shela was left dizzy and stumbling backward, âLetitia! You hit me again!â
Shela gritted her teeth, her hand poised to slap back!
âGuards, Letitia said coolly, âhold her down!â
âYes, Mrs. Ramirezâ
Shelas hand was caught in Letitiaâs firm grip, immobilized.
She never expected Letitia, who had just suffered a miscarriage, to have such strength!
What surprised her even more was that Letitia had backup!
donât you dare!â Sheia screamed âAre you all blind? Take a good look at who I am, donât come any
closer! Donât touch me!â
commanded, Hold her down like I said! Iâll take the heat for any trouble Elgin gives.â
You crazy woman!â
âif Iâm crazy, itâs because you drove me to it!â
Now that sheâd lost her child, she had nothing left to lose, nothing to fear.
It was time to give Shela a plece of her mind, to vent her pent-up anger!
The bodyguards were in a bind.
One was Mr. Ramirezâs favorite, the other his wifeâ¦
âWhat my word doesnât count?â Letitia asked, âCanât you do this simple thing?â
She gave Shela a shove towards the bodyguards.
The bodyguards grabbed her, âMs Ward, apologies.â
âAhhh!â Shela shrieked in fury. âLetitia, what are you trying to do!â
Letitia ignored her and tumed to a servant âFetch a bucket of waterâ
âRight away, Mrs Ramirez.â
This floor was full of Elginâs people
Letitia wasnât scared. She hoped this whole scene would reach Elginâs ears immediately!
A bucket brimming with water was brought over, and Letitia glanced at it, âItâs too clean.â
âHuh? The servant was taken aback.
Letitia grabbed a broom, swished it in the water, then tossed it aside, and grabbed Shela by the hair.
âAh! Letitia
âQuit your yapping, save your voice, youâll need it later.â
âLet go of my hair!
Letitia sneered, not loosening her grip but instead pulling harder on Shelaâs hair, lowering her head,
and dunking it fiercely into the water. Shela saw the dirty water, freshly stirred by the broom, and
struggled violently, âNo, Lâ¦â
Letitia showed no mercy, pushing her head under.
And Shela was mid-sentence, so she swallowed a mouthful of water.
One second, two seconds, threeâ¦
Letitia loosened her grip just a bit and pulled Shelaâs head out of the water.
Shela gasped for air, her face and hair soaked, her makeup smeared, looking like a drowned panda.
After coughing, Shela retched, âYou, you bitchâ¦â
Before she could finish, Letitia dunked her again!
A few seconds later, she was lifted again.
âLetitia⦠doing this to me, I will definitely. The scene replayed, just as before.
As long as Shela didnât beg for mercy, Letitia kept dunking her head in the water, again and again. After
five or six rounds, Shela was completely drained, slumped on the floor
Only a third of the water was left in the bucket.
âStill got more to say? Wanna keep testing the waters? Letitia asked. âShela, wasnât your mouth pretty
good at cursing people?*
Shela clenched her teeth. âThis is revenge!â
âHeh, you call this revenge? Let me tell you, the real revenge hasnât even started yet!â
Letitia squatted down, grabbing Shela by the collar, âIâm giving you one shot here Spill the beans-who
was the guy that night, and Til let you off the hook!â
âHa! Are you kidding me?â Shela burst into laughter upon hearing this, âOh, Letitia, so thatâs what this is
all about. The kidâs gone, and youâre still hung up on that dude!â
âAre you gonna talk or not?!â
âNo way Iâm telling you!â Shela shot back, âYou can forget about finding out in this lifetime!*
Wright then, kiss goodbye to the life youâre dreaming about!â
Shelaâs eyes widened, âWhat gives you the right to say that? Mr. Ramirez still has feelings for me!â
âOh please. âLetitia looked at her, âDo you know why Elgin wanted my baby gone? He said he wanted a
fresh start with me.â
