Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

“Yeah, Phedra, we both did it,” Raizel said, “You can’t just stand there and watch the show.”

“Come on, Raizel. I’m no spring chicken anymore…”

Letitia immediately cut her off, “Look at that. Phedra doesn’t even want to lift a finger!”

While saying this, she secretly tried to wriggle out of the ropes.

Raizel thought Letitia had a point and handed a knife to Phedra. “Alright. You slash the left side, and I’ll handle the right.”

“Deal.” Phedra agreed, “You start cutting, I’ll hold her down so she doesn’t squirm!”

“Got it.”

The two were in perfect cahoots.

Letitia’s wrists were turning red, and the ropes showed no sign of loosening.

Phedra came over to pin her head down. “Don’t play tricks, and it’ll hurt less. This knife isn’t picky! Come on, Raizel, do

it!”

“You’ve got so smooth skin. No wonder you could charm Elgin. I’ll slash it up good today!”

Raizel approached with a wicked grin.

The knife drew closer and closer until it pressed against Letitia’s cheek, its icy chill sending shivers.

“Just a little pressure, and there goes your beauty…”

Letitia swallowed hard with anxiety. “You… you’re not afraid of Elgin?”

“With the Morris family backing me, he won’t hurt me.”

As Raizel was about to cut Letitia’s face, a deep and authoritative voice echoed from afar at that critical moment, “Stop right there!”

That voice sounded familiar!

Letitia’s spirits lifted, and she shouted with all her might, “Elgin, save me!”

The screech of tires on pavement sounded, and before the car had stopped, Elgin was already out and on the move

He came striding over, his suit tails flapping, his face filled with fury.

“The Morris family? What are they?” Elgin’s thin lips curled. “Tomorrow, I can make the whole Morris family vanish from AquaCity!”

“Dear Elgin… Ah!”

Elgin kicked Raizel aside without a glance. He went straight to Letitia and scooped her up. “Are you hurt?”

She shook her head. “No, that was close, though.”

“Why did you run off?” Elgin asked, “Can’t you just stay at the Ramirez Group?”

“…” She couldn’t say she was looking for a job when she ran into Phedra and Raizel.

Letitia chose to remain silent.

“Elgin, why, why are you here?” Phedra tried to smile. “I was just having a bit of fun with my daughter-in-law.”

Eigin’s eyebrow lifted. “Having a bit of fun?”

“Yeah

He picked up the knife from the ground and threw it at Phedra’s feet. “Now, carve up your face for fun.

‘What’

Chapter 8

“Dear Elgin!” Raizel stamped her foot. “Why do you always take her side?”

“Because she’s my wife!” Elgin’s gaze was colder than any blade. “Should I defend you instead?”

Raizel looked at Letitia with envy all over her face. But Letitia had a bitter truth she couldn’t voice. Elgin was so livid because he was the only person who could bully and humiliate her.

Even if he hated and tormented her, he would never let anyone else lay a finger on her. It had to be him personally.

Elgin’s sweet nothings were just that. It was all empty words she neither took to heart nor dared to believe.

When she was lost in thought, Elgin had swept her off her feet, and Letitia gasped, instinctively wrapping her arms.

around his neck

Realizing the intimacy of the gesture, she quickly let go.

“You should be thankful that she’s not hurt, Elgin said expressionlessly and indifferently, “Raizel, I’ll discipline you on behalf of the Morris family! Go home to repent your sins. You’ll be grounded for a month! No stepping outside!”

“Phedral” He barked her name, “You can forget about your allowance for the year!”
