Chapter 119
Eigin shorted with a sheer, “You sure you want me to spill the beans? Or would you rather less up yourself?”
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, “Shela’s already confessed, and here you are, still putting up a front!”
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, “Mr. Ramirez, Shela, she-she.”
Elgin’s face was frosty as he pressed on, “I’m giving you one last chance.”
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 wasn’t that foolish!
After thinking it over, Mark began knocking his head to the ground, “It 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 didn’t want to do any of it, it was me who kept on persuading and
pressuring her!”
“Every time she saw you, she was down in the dumps, feeling like you didn’t kke her, lacking a sense of security I couldn’t bear
to see her so upset, so so I came up with this plan to make you pay more attention to her!”
“Mr. Ramirez, please don’t blame her, it’s all on me-come at me with whatever you’ve got! Punish me! Shela’s innocent
Mark was shouldering all the blame Now, he was ready to sacrifice himself to save Shela!
Elgin looked down on him from above. That’s it?”
“No... no more” Mark shook his head nervously, Her intentions were all because she likes you, Mr. Ramirez!”.
Hearing this Elgins frown deepened. Is this what they call liking someone? Turning deception into affection?
Elgin didn’t 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,” Elgin nudged Mark with his shoe, since you’re so good at giving Shela ideas, clever enough to play me... was
that night we spent together also thanks to your bright ideas?”
He’d even sent people to double-check privately, but the results... were the same as before.
Now, with this fake pregnancy and miscarriage stunt, Elgin’s suspicions were reignited.
He was always distrustful, never putting faith in others, only in himself!
“Mr. Ramirez, that night, I really don’t know what happened!” Mark pleaded, “I don’t have the means to get Shela into your hotel
room!”
Actually, when Elgin asked that question, Mark knew the score.
2 5 5
Shela hadn’t 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.
Elgin’s gaze darkened as he stared at him, ‘Really You keep deceiving me, you know what the consequences will be.. you
understand, right?
‘Of course, of course!”
“But feel like there’s something you’re still not telling me
As his words fell, Elgin’s shoe came down hard on Mark’s fingers.
ffcole crushed the bones of Mark’s fingers.
ressure, and the crunching of bores could be clearly heart
pet it! Elgin demanded. ‘What really happened that night!”
Mr Ramirez. I truly don’t know. Ah!”
“Fine, when you figure it out, that’s when you’ll save your hand!”
Ar this rate, Mark’s hand was going to be ruined.
He kept screaming. “Mr. Ramirez, I swear I’m telling the truth.. I don’t have the power to deliver Shela to your bed! I was even
pushed to the point of handing her over to some old geezer!”
“Do you remember? You’ve 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.”
“Because 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 would’ve been ruined! Ouch! It hurts!
Elgin slowly withdrew his foot.
Mark lay on the ground, looking at his motionless fingers. His bones were nearly shattered.
“So that night, Elgin began, it was Shela.”
“Of course it was her! You checked yourself!”
Elgin fell silent. After a while, he said coldly, “Even if it was her that night, what she’s done now means she doesn’t deserve to
stay by my side!”
“No, Mr. Ramirez, it was all my idea, Mark took the blame again, “Shela initially didn’t want to, didn’t want to tie you down like
this. It was me forcing her, and she agreed.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Get lost Elgin kicked him again.
Mark, in pain, scuttled away. “Whatever the case, Shela loves you. At least at least she’s better than Letitia, right?”
“Better than Letitia?”
“Yeah, you’re putting up with Letitia carrying someone else’s kid! Why can’t you give Shela a chance when she’s only messed up
a little?”
Elgin’s face turned as dark as night. “Who said I am putting up with that bastard child!”
He would get rid of it! It was just a matter of timing!
How could he possibly keep a child that wasn’t his!
“So you...”
“Get 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 he’d 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
“Damn it, damn it!”
He slammed his fist onto the desk, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Just moments ago, when Shela’s fake pregnancy was exposed, he wasn’t even this pissed.
He just felt like a total fool
The great President Ramirez, played like a dummy by Shela’s little ruse.
That’s why Elgin was more than just mad-he was livid.
Because no one gets to con him like that!
