Chapter 215 - SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MINE
Chapter 215 – SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MINE
Hearing what Hailee said, Theodore finally realized that he was being made fun of by this girl and this made his face turn red. He couldn't understand why Hailee would treat him like that when he wanted to sincerely apologize and mend the relationship between them.
At this point, perhaps, Theodore forgot that there was no longer any salvageable relationship between the two of them and Hailee was also not in a state where she wanted to be saved from this kind of situation.
What to save whenshe was really enjoying her life now. Theodore was too naive to think that Hailee still had feelings for him.
"Hailee, you don't have to force your marriage to Ramon," Theodore was still in his own imagination, thinking that the world only revolved around him, so everything was about him. "I…"
Hailee shuddered when she finally realized what Theodore was going to suggest to her. She found it utterly absurd to hear him out and she didn't feel like hearing anything right now, just in case her stomach felt uncomfortable.
"Theodore, you are only wasting your time worrying about unimportant things. You should use your time to prepare for your wedding later. I will make sure to come if there really isn't a big problem and Ramon isn't too busy in his office." Hailee subtly indicated that Theodore and Aileen's wedding wasn't an important event that she had to attend, so she didn't prioritize it. The Tordoffs would only attend when they felt it was necessary and vice versa. "If you have nothing more to say, you can leave."
"Hailee I went to the prison where Roland Dimatrio is being held and he told me everything about what happened and also some secrets related to your parents," Theodore added when he saw that Hailee was about to leave the room.
Of course, the words 'your parents' had managed to make Hailee stop walking and turn around. "What do you mean?"
================
Ramon intended to go home soon after he received a call from Hailee saying that the man from Gevano family was at their house.
Hailee would be fine. What could Theodore be doing under Pyro's tutelage anyway? But then, Marco came with some information he asked for.
Marco was Ramon's right- hand man who he asked to find out about any information on Lis, his mother and also Giana. How far was the relationship between Ramon and the woman and also how far was Lis's relationship with the man Ramon saw when they were at the hotel the other day.
Therefore, Ramon's return was slightly delayed as he had to check the report first.
"That man is Leon Dawson, the older brother of Larry Dawson, the first son of the Dawson family, but because of the scandal he was involved in, he was removed from the list of heirs." Marco summarized the report he gave to Ramon. "A few years ago Leon Dawson disappeared, but then he reappeared, but he prefers to keep a low profile and isolated himself elsewhere."
Ramon read all the reports quickly.
"The only people Leon Dawson communicated with were his nephews; Giana Dawson, who is now Giana Smith, the two of them have a pretty good relationship," Marco stopped when Ramon raised his hand.
He had also gotten to the report and was reading more slowly. "I will call you later," Ramon said without taking his eyes off the report in his hand.
Meanwhile, Marco nodded obediently and walked out of the room, leaving Ramon alone with his own thoughts.
What exactly was the relationship between Leon Dawson and Lis? Because from what Ramon could see, the two of them didn't seem like strangers to each other and also, Lis wasn't the type of woman who would risk herself walking out in public with a stranger.
But, how could his mother be so careless by doing that?
Not only did Marco find out the identity of the man, but he also managed to get hold of two properties that were under the false name created by Leon.
Leon changed his name to Herbert Long and bought two properties in two different places, which were each of a fantastic value.
How could someone who was no longer recognized by his family and had no inheritance, buy something that expensive? Moreover, Marco did not manage to get where the source of Leon's financial funds came from.
This was very unreasonable.

"I wish you had an extra room in this house," Giana sipped her coffee as Dillon ushered her into his living room. "You wouldn't tell me to drive for four hours to back get to City A at midnight, could you?"
Dillon could only shake his head in disbelief. He had tried not to meddle in Giana's business anymore and chose to lie under radar, thinking this was the best way to keep her safe.
Because after all the news about Giana's affair with him behind Aidan Smith's back was still blowing strongly out there.
But, who would have guessed, it would only take Giana a few days to find him here.
"Aren't you worried that news of you being here will spread widely?" Dillon asked as he sat down on the sofa opposite Giana. "You would have a hard time explaining your appearance here."
"Do you have any intention of summoning those reporters to come interview me here?" Giana glanced at Dillon over her coffee cup. "If not, then I am safe. This place is so remote, what kind of reporter would suddenly pop out in a place like this?"
Actually, what Giana said have some truth in it too, but still, you could never predict what would happen next, could you?
"So, what made you come and see me? Don't tell me it's because you miss me," Dillon joked.
Giana who heard that just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "If you want me to tell you that I missed you, then I will say; Yes, I miss my personal assistant."
"Not funny at all," said Dillon. "I can't help you Giana, go home."
"You know that I am so stubborn, I won't leave until I get what I want, and right now, I want you to come back with me. Running away like this will only make us both look guilty and as if confirming the accusations they have leveled at us," Giana said.
"Giana, things are not as easy as you think," Dillon began. For some reason, he always had other thoughts about every plan that Giana made and felt that this woman was increasingly acting reckless.
"I didn't imagine this situation Dillon, I live in this situation." Giana then stood up. "I will not leave until you agree to come back with me. Now, which room can I sleep in tonight?"
Giana was serious when she said she would spend the night at this place. After all, she couldn't think of any right words to persuade Dillon in her tired state.
However, instead of showing her the guest room, Dillon asked her another question. "Have you stopped chasing Ramon Tordoff?"
Hearing the unexpected question, Giana looked deeply at Dillon. Their gazes met and there was a lot of emotional exchange between them. "Of course not. I will not let him go again."
"I will find you a nearby hotel," Dillon said.
================
"Roland Dimatrio refuses to say anything more than that, and he insists on seeing Ramon Tordoff." Theodore could not provide any further information than this to Hailee because Roland Dimatrio himself refused to open his mouth.
At this point, Theodore felt like he was being used to convey some message because the former district attorney had repeatedly asked to meet with Ramon, only that the request had gone unanswered.
"If you want to know more about what Aileen has done or more information about your parents' deaths, you'd better ask Mr. Tordoff to agree to go there." Theodore hoped that this way, he could feel better.
His remorse toward Hailee and his self- pity for having been fooled by Aileen, made Theodore feel very uncomfortable.
However, before Hailee could respond to Theodore's statement, someone had opened the door to the room and Ramon stepped in with an expressionless face.
His eyes immediately found Hailee,who was standing in the middle of the room, while Theodore was standing not far from her.
With long strides, Ramon reached her within a few seconds and grabbed Hailee's shoulder before lightly kissing her lips while whispering, "Why don't you just wait in the car? We can go eat right away after I talk to Mr. Gevano."
Hailee, who was surprised by Ramon's arrival, immediately remembered that she had asked to eat out tonight. "Okay."
And without looking at Theodore again, she stepped out of the room with Pyro trailing behind her.
"How about I ask you to return Hailee to me?" Theodore suddenly asked Ramon that question.
Hearing the rude and bold request, Ramon raised an eyebrow and snorted. "She will always be mine."
