Chapter 59

Letitia replied, “Nothing happened between him and me, we didn’t even talk shop. It was just two friends catching up.”

“Frends?”

“Yeah”

Elgin was grinding his teeth with anger, “Fine, Letitia. I’ll make sure you can’t even be friends!”

She was startled, “Elgin, what are you…”

Storming over, Elgin grabbed Walden by the collar and promptly let his fist crash down on him, brutally hard, causing blood to erupt from Walden’s nose.

He stumbled back several steps before he managed to steady himself.

“What right do you have to hit me?” Walden, cleaning the blood, said, “Elgin, since you married her, you should cherish her!”

“If you know she’s my woman, you better get that out of your head!”

“But you don’t love her! Look at how you’re tormenting her!”

Elgin sneered, “That’s between her and me. When’s it your turn to butt in?”

“You can’t give her the love she deserves, then give her back to me,” Walden’s eyes were resolute, “You don’t care about her, but I’ll treasure like gold.”

“In your dreams. As soon as Elgin finished, he lunged forward with another punch.

Walden swayed and started to fight back with a counter-hook.

The two quickly got into a scuffle.

“Stop it!” Letitia yelled, “Elgin! Stop it!”

Elgin had trained in Taekwondo and was a black belt. An ordinary person was no match for him.

Especially since Walden had already taken a couple of punches and was injured, he was already at a significant disadvantage.

If this went on, Walden could get killed!

“Elgin! Are you listening? Stop, stop hitting him!”

But the more Letitia screamed in panic, the harder Elgin fought, showing no mercy.

Seeing Walden on one knee, unable to stand, completely at a disadvantage, Letitia didn’t care anymore and rushed forward.

She stood in front of Walden, and Elgin’s fist was only a centimeter from her face..

Letitia could clearly see the veins on the back of his hand.

“Letitia’ Get out of the way!”

“I won’t!”

“I don’t hit women,” Elgin’s eyes were icy cold, “Don’t push me!”

But Letitia stubbornly tilted her head up, “You can’t hit him anymore, he’ll die!”

“Feeling some pity for him?” In Elgin’s chest, a storm of resentment erupted. The emotion was a blend of jealousy and a tinge of sorrow. Although swiftly, he brushed these feelings aside.

Sorrow? Ha, what’s there for him to be sad about!

Letitia protected Walden because he was the father of the bastard in her belly!

“It’s all my fault,” Letitia said, “I wanted to see him, I sought him out Walden was so hassled by me he agreed to meet. If you want to kill or slash someone, go for me!”

She took all the blame upon herself.

Hearing her say this, Walden quickly interjected, “Letitia, you…”

Elgins fist was trembling from the force. He really wanted to smash it down, but looking at Letitia’s face, he couldn’t do it! Not hitting women was his bottom line!

“Move,” Elgin said, word by word, “Did you hear me?”

I worl hove If you’re mad, take it out on me!”

“Letitia protecting Walden like this will only get him killed faster!”

She explained, “I told you, I’m the one who sought him out. My mother needs his help…”

Dgin grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up in front of him, “You’d rather sneak around behind my back and beg him than ask me nicely?

“Elgin.” Letitia looked at him, “How many times have I begged you?”

How much lower could she stoop? Kneeling, flattering, obedient, compliant, enduring humillation. Letitia had done it all. But what he gave her was nothing compared to what he lavished on Shela

Shela could casually buy a bag worth hundreds of thousands, using his card. And her?

He wouldn’t even give her the money for lifesaving medicine for her mom. She still owed him twenty thousand dollars.

Elgin squinted, “You never tried. How do you know I wouldn’t agree? If you bow low enough, maybe I would!”

“If you would have agreed, I wouldn’t have come to see Walden today.”

Rage boiled in his eyes. “Fine, Letitia. You’re really something! You come to Walden for what you can’t get from me. He knows you’re married and is still willing to pay for you… You sure are cunning!”

“You forced me…”

“Then I’ll make sure you’ll never see Walden again!”

Letitia replied, “Let him go, and I’ll never meet him in private again!”

Elgin scoffed, “Too late!”

He gripped her wrist tightly and stepped on Walden’s chest.

“Listen up,” Elgin exuded a powerful aura, “you’ll never beat me, never. ‘Ramirez Romantica’ is up and running, and your Sunbeam Gems have no reason to exist.”

Letitia’s eyes widened, “Elgin, are you…” Was he going to take over Sunbeam Gems?

When Walden returned to the country, he took over the Sullivan Group, and Sunbeam Gems was under his full management. If it were taken over, the shareholders and the board would oust him! This would be a catastrophic blow to his career!

*Since you care so much about him, I’ll make you care to the end,” Elgin said, “Let’s see how a man with nothing can save you, and…”

His gaze drifted down to her belly. Before Letitia could say a word, Elgin dragged her away.

Walden struggled to his feet, clutching his chest and watching their retreating backs…

A mouthful of blood spurted out, “Letitia…”

Sitting in the car, Letitia’s eyes were dry and sore.

Elgin drove in silence. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.

The car stopped in the very center of the Ivory Towers garden, and neither of them got out.

The air was thick with tension

“Don’t take over Sunbeam Gems, please,” Letitia broke the silence, “It’s not Walden’s fault, you shouldn’t punish him.”

“The acquisition was bound to happen sooner or later, but Letitia, you just fast-tracked it.”

“There’s really nothing going on between me and Walden… and the kid isn’t his, can’t you just trust me?”

“Why should I believe you?” Elgin shot back.

“We can do a paternity test on the fetus!” Letitia exclaimed, “I swear it’s not his!”

He spoke nonchalantly, “Why bother with all that hassle when it’s gonna be terminated anyway.”

He said it without a hint of emotion.

Letitia turned to look at him.

The flickering streetlights cast a shadowy glow on his face, making him seem even colder.

She spoke softly, “Elgin, let’s have a proper chat, shall we?”

“What do you have to negotiate with?” he scoffed with disdain, “Letitia, you’ve got no cards to play!”

1 do.”
