President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 889

Ramon looked up at Queeny and said, “Don’t fret. I know you’re fond of that girl, so I’ve done her no harm. Go and have a rest, and I’ll get her to you later.”

Seeing that he really meant it, Queeny rested assured.

She turned and walked upstairs.

After she had left, Asher stepped in.

He frowned in Queeny’s direction, obviously fuming at her attitude towards Ramon.

Aware of his inferior rank, however, he knew that he wasn’t entitled to a judgment, so he just asked, “Chief, shall I bring Karida here?”

Ramon gave a nod.

“Go get her and impress on her the words we told her. If she dared to say otherwise…”

A murderous look flickered across his eyes.

Asher took the hint immediately and replied, “Yes!”

He turned and left.

In no time, Ella was brought over.

At the sight of Ramon, she was jolted out of her placidity and dashed to him.

“Where’s my granny? What has happened to her?”

Seeing her so threateningly close, Ramon squinted his eyes.

He said coolly, “Don’t worry. She’s fine, for we have favors to ask of you.”

Breathing erratically, she stared at him with hatred.

“Where is she? I want to see her.”

She grabbed him by his sleeve.

Ramon threw a glance at her clenched fingers and gave a dismissive laugh.

“Of course you can see her, but not before finishing a task.”

With the words, he pointed his head at the room upstairs and said, “Go and convince her that she is my sister, and tell her what a miserable life her brother has lived all these years. As long as she acknowledges her relation to me and agrees to stay here, I’ll give the old woman back to you. What do you say?”

Ella was burning with fury.

“You said you would give Granny back to me if I brought Queeny out. Are you cheating me?”

Ramon squinted and smiled evilly.

“Yeah, I’m cheating you. So what?”

“You villain!”

Mad with anger, Ella raised her fist to hit him.

However, when she met his smiling yet wintry eyes, her fist froze in the air.

She thought of Granny, whose life was still at stake.

If the man had suffered the slightest injury, Granny could have lost her life.

Her hand went limp as if drained of strength.

She looked at him and said in a hoarse voice, “Ramon, I beg you. Let her go. She’s just an innocent granny. Let her go, and I promise I’ll do anything you want, OK?”

She implored desperately.

But Ramon showed no mercy.

Still wearing a cold look, he gave a light smile. “Oh, how pitiful! But my dear Karida, what did I tell you? I don’t like promises or pledges, because they’re all empty words.”

“One will do whatever I say as long as I have in my hands something he treasures, so what’s the need to listen to those empty words?”

The pleading in Ella’s eyes gradually turned to hatred.

She relaxed her grip on him, straightened up and demanded grimly, “Will you let her go or not?”
