Chapter 242 - THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Chapter 242 – THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Aileen couldn't use her original plan to frame Hailee, nor could she carry out her 'abortion' plan.
Because if someone else found out about the CCTV footage and saw Aileen dropping herself from the top of the stairs and pretend to suffer a miscarriage, then she would be the one to be blamed.
"You're so stupid!" shouted George, cursing Aileen, for who knows how many times, while his daughter was staring at the city lights with an expressionless face, as if trying to pretend that she wasn't there and listening to her father's cursing. "How could you let Hailee take the tape?!"
Yes, Hailee managed to retrieve the tape and now she was holding a very important card, because neither of them knew to whom the tape would be given to.
However, to whoever it was, the end result would still be detrimental to both of them, Aileen especially.
"You know how stupid you are now?! I told you to kill her that time! But, what did you say? You want to play with her life?!" George snorted loudly. "Now look at what Hailee did to your life!!!"
The swearing from George's mouth continued after he cursed Aileen until his heart was satisfied, because it was Aileen who insisted on playing with Hailee's life.
Aileen intended for Hailee to become a slave to the lust of Roland Dimatrio. Wasn't life like that much more terrifying than facing death? And Aileen would always be able to see how miserable the girl was every time.
Aileen liked to imagine moments like that.
However, who would have thought that the plan she had meticulously devised would fall apart when Hailee managed to escape.
And to make things worse, it didn't end there…
The current situation and how Hailee ended up being a Mrs. Tordoff really suffocated Aileen with regret and greed. Her jealousy had now turned into envy.
To hell with all the things she had been through, Aileen should have just killed Hailee, along with her two parents.
"Hey! How dare you not respond to me!" George looked furious, then roughly, he grabbed Aileen's shoulder.
Aileen didn't really listen to what George said, because whatever that came out of the man's lips was simply trash and Aileen wasn't in the mood to listen to those meaningless words.
However, because Aileen was already familiar with the way her father acted, she was quite responsive when George started to raise his hand to slap Aileen. She quickly grabbed it with her own hand and pushed the middle aged man's body away from her.
"Don't you dare hit me," Aileen said coldly. She then threw a sharp, threatening glare at George that made the man unable to say anything, then took her bag and left the room.
If Aileen was alone with George any longer, she was afraid that she would start plotting the murder of George before taking her next breath.
Not that the thought never crossed her mind, but it wasn't the right time to add to the trouble, after all, Aileen still needed that man.
Aileen had indeed gone through a period where she was afraid to fight George, but now, she was the one who would take advantage of that stupid man.
================
"Don't let Mrs. Dawson out of this house and no one is allowed to visit her without my permission," Giana told the butler and the head of security at Dawson's residence.
Yes, after visiting the hospital and declaring that she would take over the company, her father's health worsened.
Not because of the fact that Giana would take the helm of a company that was faltering with their share price which continued to fall alarmingly, but because of the way Giana had put it.
Giana swore that Larry would never have his position again and now all control was in Giana's hands.
There were even two bodyguards that Giana placed outside her father's hospital room, not just to ensure that he could not be visited, but to make sure that he couldn't leave the hospital even though his health had improved later, without Giana's permission, of course.
All of these transitions happened so quickly, because Giana didn't waste a second trying to get her revenge.
She had made a list in her heart, who she would strike and she would use all means to make that wish come true.
Including what she did with Dillon, because in the end it worked and here he was now, accompanying her again as Giana wanted.
"Don't you think your ways are too cruel?" Dillon sat beside Giana who was closing her eyes while leaning her body against the sofa. "You're indirectly confining your parents."
Dillon had already conveyed his disapproval to Giana, but the woman remained stubborn, just like before, it was rare for Dillon to change what Giana had already decided.
"If you think what I'm doing is cruel, then what about what they've been doing and telling me all along?" Giana opened her eyes and looked at Dillon next to her. "I didn't hurt them Dillon. I am trying to protect them from the battle I will face later. They don't need to be too close."
Not. It was a lie. Giana was being cruel to her parents. But, at least this way, Larry and Cassandra wouldn't meddle in this matter and mess up her plans.
On the other hand, Dillon sighed slowly. He did decide to return to accompany Giana, although the woman did not give him any certainty.
'I will try. We'll try this.'
Those were the words Giana spoke the night she came to make Dillon's heart melt and agree to return to town A.
"I've spoken to some of the top shareholders in the company and five of them have agreed not to sell their shares to outsiders." This was good news, because the recent sale of the Dawson family stocks had really turned things even more volatile for the company.
"Thank you for doing all that," Giana said softly, resting her head on Dillon's chest and of course this made the man's heart soften even more.
