Chapter 282 - DOES LIS KNOW?
Chapter 282 – DOES LIS KNOW?
"Do you know? If I have to fall, then I'll drag you with me," Aileen said in a straightforward and threatening tone to George. She was starting to show him that she wasn't a doll he could just order around. "Therefore, instead of spending your breath cursing at me, use your brain to find a way out of this problem."
Because Aileen had already found her own way out, and yes, she had obtained it in an unexpected way.
After saying that, Aileen pushed George's body out of her way while she walked to the other side of the room to get a drink.
"No way," Geoge denied the information he had just heard. "Impossible. If it's true that Hailee knows what we did to her parents, there's no way she'll just keep quiet."
George turned around and walked over to Aileen again. He didn't believe it. Hailee seemed so calm, even though she knew the truth.
"Oh, she said she would make our lives miserable," Aileen then spent the next five minutes explaining in more detail what exactly Hailee had told her.
She also didn't forget to add a few words here and there that could provoke George and make this old fart try to be smarter in managing his emotions or his plans for the future, because this was the only thing Aileen wanted to get involved with George. For the rest, they would each take their own way.
This was the last kindness Aileen could show him, as his daughter.
"No, you must not be serious when you say that," George refuted what Aileen said. "Hailee doesn't have that kind of personality."
Aileen laughed softly when she heard George's silly words. "What do you expect from her now?" asked Aileen. "We killed her parents, and you still expect her to be an innocent girl and forgive us just like that if we apologize?" Aileen used a scornful tone in her sentence.
She didn't understand why she had such a stupid and overly naive father like this…
Let alone Hailee, even she wanted to kill George for all the unjust treatment so far. Aileen still remembered how George executed a stupid plan that almost got her killed in a car accident, just to keep Theodore from taking her to the hospital for a monthly checkup.
"Think more sensibly," Aileen criticized her father, casually walking over to the sofa and plopping down before looking at George's surprised expression.
"So what will she do?" George wasn't afraid of Hailee, because no matter how angry she was, she wouldn't be able to do much if it weren't for Ramon's support.
And the big problem here is; Ramon supports his wife's every decision. George still remembered very well how he paid for his wrongdoing to Ramon regarding the ring matter earlier and it was still clearly etched in his memory.
"I do not know." Aileen shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "You think she will share her revenge plan with me?"
"Stop talking sarcastically to me!" George was furious. Aileen made himself look stupid by talking in this way and that was what his daughter really wanted.
However, before Aileen could reply to George's words, her cell phone rang and she took it from her purse.
On the rectangular screen of the phone was a single initial; 'L', a contact Aileen had recently added. It was the mysterious man who had a personal grudge against Ramon, although Aileen didn't know the actual problem between the two of them.
But, for sure the target is Hailee.
"Where are you going?" asked George when he saw Aileen walking out of her office to take a call. This made him suspicious.
"I don't need to report all my business to you, do I?" Aileen glanced at George over her shoulder. "You can stay here and think about what kind of trouble Hailee will put us through."
After saying that, Aileen closed her office door and proceeded to pick up her phone before the call ended.
================
Hailee wore a denim jacket and a blue dress that covered her knees and flat shoes to go to the hospital with Lis.
But, of course before that, Hailee called Ramon to tell him her plans for the day and her husband immediately said he would follow her there.
Hailee actually wanted to prevent Ramon from doing this, but she was also worried about her safety, because Ramon knew his mother better and was well aware of what decisions to make.
What was more, Hailee felt calmer when Ramon was around her.
After Hailee let Ramon knew which hospital would take her, he immediately hung up the phone and she assumed her husband was getting ready to leave the office.
Imagining Ramon's face tense from worrying about her, somehow made Hailee happy. Because it showed how important she was to Ramon.
For Hailee, a man would be much more attractive when he showed his concern openly than when he insisted on not showing any emotion.
Maybe for that reason, although Ramon's overprotective attitude sometimes overwhelmed Hailee, in the end, she didn't mind at all and enjoyed it with 'open arms.'
"Hailee…" Lis suddenly called out when Hailee was lost in thought while looking at the street outside her car window.
"Yes mom?" she asked, turning to give her attention to what Lis have to say.
"Have you been feeling anything strange lately?" Lis asked suddenly and she could see her daughter-in-law frowning. "I mean, has everything been going well lately?"
"Yes, everything is fine." Hailee didn't know what answer Lis wanted to hear from that question, but Lis's question alone was already something out of the ordinary.
"How is your relationship with Ramon?" Liz asked again. Her facial expression was serious. "Did Ramon treat you well?"
Hailee nodded. "He treats me really well in fact," she said with a genuine smile.
"In that case, it's good." Liz nodded with satisfaction.
"What's wrong mom?" This time it was Hailee's turn to ask what Lis meant with these sudden questions.
