Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 60

Her voice was rock-solid, but her gaze was even more so.

Elgin was momentarily stunned. Such bright and persistent eyes… they inexplicably set his heart racing

Letitia spoke up. “I still have my life. It’s my only, my final bargaining chip.”

Figan felt even more panicked, but he desperately suppressed it, not wanting to show it, “Do you even realize what you’re talking about?” “I do” Letitia looked deep into his eyes, “Elgin, we’ve got a lot of hate, a lot of resentment between us. As long as I’m by your side, it will always be there, unable to be erased. You hate me, hate that my father killed your dad. hate that I’m carrying someone else’s child. But the child was conceived before I married you From start to finish, I’ve been a victim.

I don’t know what I’ve done wrong to deserve such a living hell. Before I met you, I had a happy life, bright and hopeful as a young girl… with a bright future ahead”

Letitia looked down slightly. “Forget it, let’s not dwell on it. Elgin, can I use my life to end all of this?” Her tone was as casual as if she were discussing the weather, but she was ready to die.

Life was just too painful, too exhausting.

She couldn’t save herself, couldn’t save her parents, and was even dragging down her friends….

Letitia thought of herself as a burden.

“Don’t you dare! Elgin reached out and grabbed her chin, “Your life is mine, not yours to take!”

“I can decide whether to live or die.”

He was completely panicked now, “Letitia, I won’t allow you to die. You have to live, live by my side!”

She chuckled lightly, “Are you scared?”

Elgin’s lips were pressed tightly together. Yes, he was scared. But… why was he scared? Was Letitia really that important to him?

“You’re just scared that once I’m gone, you’ll lose your plaything, your punching bag,” Letitia said, her lips curling into a smile, “Elgin, that’s all I am to you.”

Elgin roared. “Shut up! Don’t you dare say ‘die’ again!”

“I have to finish. Otherwise, I might not get another chance. Elgin, I’m using my life to end all of this. After I die, please let my parents go back to living normally. You insist it was the Sanders family that killed your dad, so I’ll use my life to pay for your father’s life. Can we drop all the hatred then, let it all fade away?”

The hand Elgin had on her chin was trembling uncontrollably. Turns out, he could shake too.

“No way! Letitia, I forbid you to die!”

But Letitia had become the calm one.

Before, it was always her in utter humility, with Elgin towering above. Now the tables had turned.

“But Elgin, this is the only way to rid your heart of hate, to end everything.”

“It won’t end! Not unless my father comes back to life!”

“People can’t come back from the dead,” Letitia replied, “Well, that’s that.”

Then she unbuckled her seat belt. The “click” of the release sounded especially clear in the night sky.

Elgin grabbed her in a hurry, “Letitia, if you die… have you thought about your child? Weren’t you going to give birth? Don’t you want your baby anymore?”

“I don’t have the ability to protect him.” After speaking, Letitia pried Elgin’s fingers off one by one, opened the car door, and ran off swiftly.

“Letitia!”

She got out of the car and ran forward without looking back. Her hair flying, her skirt fluttering, Letitia at this moment was like a sprite in the night sky.

Elg quickly got out of the car and chased after her, rounding the front of the vehicle!

Letitia had a clear target – a man-made lake less than a hundred meters from the garden. She was going to jump into the lake!

The lake was deep, and Letitia couldn’t swim… She was determined to die!

Lebaran ahead, Elgin chased behind.

was tall with long legs, quickly closing the distance, gradually catching up.

“Stop, Letibial Elgin shouted, his voice echoing into the sky, carrying far and wide, “Damn it, stop her, stop het!”

Overwhelmed with panic, his voice was shaking.

Letitia ran as fast as she could. She gritted her teeth, shouldering past the security guard, heading straight for the lake!

“Letitia!” Elgin’s voice was right behind her, just a bit more and he would catch her!

Letitia took the largest steps she could, gracefully leaping onto the railing, stepping on it, and then jumping down without hesitation.

Elgin rushed over, reaching out to grab her. The sound of fabric tearing filled the air

He had only caught Letitia’s skirt, tearing a piece of cloth from her.

With a splash, water scattered everywhere.

Letitia, like a mermaid, plunged into the water. Beautiful, yet so tragic.

Moonlight shone on the water, casting a silvery glow

The waves stirred for a moment, then returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Elgin stood there, staring at the lake surface…

Letitia really did jump, right before his eyes, without looking back, without a moment’s pause.

How desperate she must have been?

Elgin thought, had he really pushed her too far? To the point where she’d rather die than live by his side!

No, no!

“Letitia, if you want to die, you’ll need my permission!” A determined look flashed in Elgin’s eyes, and without a second thought, he too jumped in!

“Mr. Ramirez!” The butler shouted.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Quick! Save them!”

“Call an ambulance!”

In all his years as a butler, he’d never seen such madness.

Mr. Ramirez, disregarding his own safety, jumped into the lake to save the lady!

In Mr. Ramirez’s heart, the lady was the enemy’s daughter… Besides, with so many bodyguards and servants, anyone could have gone to rescue her, there was absolutely no need for Mr. Ramirez to go himself.

Ah, what a twisted fate…

Chaos erupted at the gates of Ivory Towers!

At the bottom of the lake, Elgin swam desperately, watching the figure slowly sinking.

Letitia’s eyes were closed, not struggling, not moving, just letting the water envelop her.

But her hand was still on her lower abdomen.

Elgin swam up next to her, and slung an arm around her waist to pull her into his embrace.

She went all limp and draped herself over his shoulder.

Elgin swam closer, tipping his head downwards to press his lips to hers, giving her some much-needed air. All the while, he was paddling like mad to break the surface.

The moment they came up for air, Elgin let out a sigh of relief.

With the bodyguards helping him, Elgin managed to haul Letitia ashore.

She was drenched to the bone, her hair plastered to her face, her lips a ghostly shade of pale, leaning into Elgin’s chest

Elgin didn’t say anything. But his eyes… they were softer than she’d ever seen them before.
