It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 250 – THE FACT

Rebecca covered her mouth with her hands as she watched the only video file Hailee had sent her.

It was a recording of the scene where Aileen dropped herself from the top of the emergency exit stairs. Rebecca didn't know where this was, but she was sure that it was an emergency staircase of an office building. Maybe it was the Tatum family company.

However, that wasn't the main focus of all this, because what Rebecca witnessed was very disturbing.

How could Aileen possibly throw herself off the top of the stairs when she was pregnant?! And how could she and her baby be okay after falling from such a height?

It's impossible… it's almost impossible.

Although there was no sound in the recording, what was certain was that Hailee didn't do anything to Aileen that caused her to fall.

What really happened? And the sinister smile that Aileen gave Hailee before she dropped herself, it made Rebecca shudder in horror. She was like a demoness who was ready to do anything to get what she wanted.

Or maybe that was the truth, that was the real self of Aileen that she had been hiding with her smooth speech and manipulative attitude.

Rebecca's hands trembled as she replayed the video one more time, as if that way the scene would change…

So what about her grandchild? The one Aileen is carrying?

Quickly, Rebecca grabbed her cell phone and immediately called Theodore. She didn't care what her son was doing or the fact that he just got to his office.

Theodore had to see this. He had to see what his wife, the demonic woman, had done.

"Come home now," Rebecca said in a trembling voice. "Mom doesn't care. You have to come home now. It's about your wife."

"What do you want to tell me?" asked Ramon, urging Ian to say directly what the purpose of the call was.

"There are people who want to kill you," Ian said directly and honestly. He had thought of a thousand ways on how to convey this, but no matter how good his explanation may sound, it still wouldn't change the point of this conversation.

Hailee gasped, she covered her own mouth so as not to make any noise because Ian didn't know she was listening as well, while Ramon looked more restrained, as if this wasn't the first time someone had tried killing him.

"You know who gave the orders?" he asked.

"No, I don't know, but I can recognize the two people who came up to me to offer this," Ian said. He could feel his heart beating very fast. It was a gamble and the only good thing he could think of in this precarious situation where he and his sister were treading on the most dangerous road.

"Tell me what else you know," said Ramon coldly. His voice was steady, even when there were death threats against him.

Ian didn't answer right away, he was silent long enough that Ramon had to call him, to remind him that they were still on the phone.

"I know I'm an asshole for asking for this," Ian gritted his teeth tightly. This was the toughest part when he told Ramon that someone wanted to kill him. "But, I need this…"

Hailee bit her lip hard. What else would Ian say? Why did his voice sound so tense?

"Say what you want," said Ramon.

"I'll tell you everything I know, but I need your guarantee of protection. Until you agree on this, I won't tell you anything." Ian felt his pride had vanished because he asked Ramon for this. Especially if this man refused, it would be game over for him.

"Tell me where you are and my men will pick you up." Ramon didn't make things difficult for Ian. Regardless of the information he had, Ian was Hailee's best friend. If anything happened to him, it would hurt his wife too and being in a bad mood was not good for pregnant women, at least that's what Ramon read in a recent article.

"No, not me, I don't care about myself," Ian immediately said.

"Ciara…" Hailee mumbled softly. She knew who was important to Ian as of this moment. Ian wouldn't care about him, but Ciara's condition was different.

"My sister," said Ian. "My sister needed money for surgery and they offered this to me and since I chose to side with you, so…" Ian didn't finish his sentence and hoped that Ramon would get the meaning of his words, as it was hard for him not to sound like someone who was desperate and pleading earnestly.

Saying this alone was already hurting his pride as a man. This was also one of the reasons why he didn't want Hailee to hear him plead with Ramon.

"Where is the hospital your sister is being treated?"

================ 

If there was news that graced gossip and business magazines, or the most searched word in online searches, then it was the case of the feud between Giana and Aidan Smith.

Just like the couple's marriage three years ago, even at the time of their divorce, no one was able to learn the actual situation entirely. All media personnel were competing to cover some news on the two people.

The news seekers even seemed to ignore the code of ethics and barged into their private residences. They went crazy whenever someone got their hands on any small piece of information between Aidan and Giana.

Therefore, the house of the Smith and Dawson families, as well as the house that had been occupied by Giana and Aidan, had been very closely guarded.

Especially today, because today was the first trial of their divorce case and both of them were not willing to attend, they were only represented by their respective lawyers.

"Giana, where are you going?" Dillon rubbed his still sleepy face, but his sleepiness disappeared instantly when he saw the choice of clothes Giana would wear. "You're going to the company? In a situation like this?"

Giana then walked over to Dillon and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "There's something I have to do."
