Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33

“Grandpa, she’s Dr. Sanders’ daughter, the sworn enemy of our Ramirez family!”

Hawley shot back, “You knew that, so why did you marry her? Now that you have, she gotta step up to the plate and fulfill her duties as a Ramirez family bride!”

“I plan to have kids, but there’s no way I’m letting Letitia be the one to carry them.”

“So what are you waiting for? I’m not getting any younger, and I just want to have a great-grandkid! Otherwise, by the time I kick the bucket, I won’t get to see any of ’em!”

Elgin replied indifferently, “Well, I could always bring them to your grave, give you a good look.”

“You damn brat! You’re gonna be the death of me!” Hawley banged his cane hard on the floor, fuming and glaring

before turning to leave.

“Ranen, see my grandpa out.”

“Yes, Mr. Ramirez.”

But Phedra just stood there, wringing her hands

“Haven’t you got legs?” Elgin raised an eyebrow, “Stop trying to snag a spot for your blockhead son at the Ramirez Group It’s not happening on my watch.”

“Hawley said we’d talk it out. Who knows, you might just say ‘yes’ down the road.”

Phedra knew all too well that Elgin was the big cheese in the Ramirez family these days, his word was law. She had to play the long game to get what she wanted; getting antsy wouldn’t help.

After all, she was Elgin’s stepmom, had married into the family and given them a son. Her position was rock solid.

She knew she could bide her time for all other matters, patiently plotting.

The one who triumphs last, enjoys the greatest victory.

“Elgin,” Phedra put on her best smile, “I saw in the news that you bought an emerald bracelet at a charity auction for a hefty sum…”

“Yes.”

“Why did you buy it?”

Elgin replied with a hint of irritation, “Felt like it, so I bought it.”

“It’s a lady’s piece, you can’t wear it.” Phedra noted, “Might as well give it to me!”

“You want it?”

An emerald bracelet, sure, he could understand Letitia being hung up about it since it was her mother’s. But why were Shela and Phedra so eager to get their hands on it?

Phedra nodded vigorously, “Yes! That emerald is top-notch. Maybe it could bring me luck, even ward off disasters!”

“You like it that much? Go buy one at the mall.”

“But the quality just isn’t the same, I really like that one.”

Elgin glanced at her, “Not gonna happen.”

The emerald bracelet in his possession… honestly, wasn’t much use to him, but he wanted to keep it. Because with it, Letitia would sooner or later come to him, begging him to give it back.

Elgin relished the thought of Letitia groveling, desperate and pitiful… But she was incredibly stubborn, she had only pleaded with him once during their entire wedding.

Phedra stormed out of the CEO’s office, fuming. She muttered to herself, “What’s you so smug about? What’s so great about you? You won’t be able to have kids anyway Ha, just wait until my son comes back, he’ll definitely take your

place. Then it’ll be you, Elgin, begging me and my son!”

From a distance, Letitia saw Phedra coming and quickly turned away. But Phedra spotted her anyway, “Eh… Letitia, why are you avoiding me? Are you looking down on me?”

Concerned about attracting attention from colleagues, Letitia called out, “Phedra.”

“You sure have changed.” Phedra sniped, “Acting all high and mighty as Mrs. Ramirez.”

“If you don’t need anything. I’ve got work to do.”
