Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 15

Letitia bolted out of the company and hailed a cab

She pulled out all the cash she had and shoved it into the driver’s hands, “This is all I’ve got, please, I beg you, take me to AquaCity Detention Center

“Dad!” Letitia rushed over “Dad, look at me, it’s Letitia What happened, how did my dad get burned so badly!”

The guard replied. “He did it to himself. We’ve got nothing to do with it.”

“Where is the surveillance footage? I want to see the whole incident!”

“I’m gonna see Elgin, I’m going to him right now. Letitia cleaned her tears, trying to get up

But just as she stood up. Shela strolled in, a smug smirk playing on her lips. With a gloating tone, she said, “Letitia, save your breath. Elgin despises you so much, he just wants to see you suffer!

“Was it you?” Letitia shot back.

“I was bored and thought I’d come to see how your old man was doing Shela replied “Who knew he’d accidentally knock over a kettle and scald himself like that”
