Chapter 297 - THE ATTACK (2)
Chapter 297 – THE ATTACK (2)
Aileen tried to contact Leon when Giana had left, the woman seemed to be looking for someone among the sea of guests.
Not her new lover and not Aidan who will soon become her ex-husband. No one knew who she was looking for…
Maybe next time Aileen would be interested in finding out who Giana wanted to meet this hard, but not now, because she too had other problems to deal with.
After two attempts to contact Leon and still no luck, a waiter approached Aileen and slid a small piece of paper into her hand.
Aileen was about to rebuke the waiter because she thought the man was trying to tease her, but when their eyes met, Aileen knew that wasn't the case.
Leon's men? Aileen thought… were they disguised as waiters in this hotel?
Aileen then looked around the large hall where the party was taking place and saw the waiters passing by. So many that Aileen couldn't even keep a count.
One hundred? Two hundred? Who knew…
Are all these servants Leon's men? They filled the entire Hall!
Aileen immediately opened the piece of paper and read what was written on it. It was a short message telling Aileen to hurry to the place where she should take Hailee.
Without thinking, Aileen immediately headed for the backyard, but on her way there, Aileen bumped into Rebecca, Theodore's mother.
She tried to stop Aileen, but she pushed her 'mother in law' away and walked at a faster pace, disappearing in the sea of guests.
The moment Aileen stepped into the backyard, a man asked her to get in the car.
"Where are we going?" Aileen asked confusedly because no one told her what was going on.
"Just go in first, later Mr. Long will give you the next clue." And since Aileen didn't move into the car, the man added. "We don't have much time."
Then reluctantly Aileen got into the car which immediately zoomed onto the road. It wasn't just the car that Aileen was riding in, but there were several other cars that were also heading in the same direction.
And when Aileen glanced at the man next to her, she gasped at the sight of a weapon strapped to his waist.
Realizing what Aileen saw, the man then covered his waist again by tidying the suit he was wearing.
Aileen did not know what happened in the hotel building where the party took place, because she had left before the blackout occurred.
================
The night was so dark and the silence was profound in the magnificent and spacious bedroom, which Hailee occupied now.
She couldn't sleep, she felt uneasy. She wanted Ramon to come home soon, but there was nothing she could do, because she didn't want to disturb her husband randomly.
Hailee then looked at the clock which showed ten o'clock at night. She should have been sleepy at this hour and often had fallen asleep.
However, tonight, she didn't even feel sleepy.
Hailee then sat on her bed and looked at her phone. She unlocked the screen and didn't see any messages or phone calls from Ramon.
Should she call him first? Would it be okay if Hailee called him? Or would she just interrupt Ramon's time with his business partners?
Or maybe it was okay for Hailee to call Danny or Lexus, to ask what Ramon was doing at the moment, but then she dropped that idea as well and put her phone back down.
Hailee had already taken up enough of Ramon's time by making him have to work from home, so if she had to call the guy to see what he was doing again, wouldn't that look pretty bad?
It could be that Danny and Lexus would think that Hailee was too spoiled and possessive of her husband to have to control Ramon's life all the time.
After all, Ramon had only been gone for a few hours.
"Ugh!" Hailee grumbled inwardly. She didn't like it when she started to overthink like this, but what could she do? She couldn't avoid it…
She had a bad feeling and she wanted Ramon to be with her now.
Could it be because Hailee realized that Ramon was going to meet Giana, so she felt uneasy? However, Hailee didn't feel that way. Something else was bothering her…
While Hailee was lost in her own thoughts, her cell phone rang and she quickly grabbed the small object.
Her heart felt happy and it was as if something was eating away all her anxiety, because it was Ramon on the phone. Hailee even forgot her worries just now.
"Ramon, when did you…" Hailee hadn't finished her sentence yet, but Ramon had cut her off in a rush.
"Pyro will pick you up from your room, get ready and leave with him," said Ramon, while from behind him, Hailee could hear noises and incoherent screams.
"Ramon, what's wrong?" Hailee panicked, she could hear a knock on her bedroom door, then Pyro's voice asking her to come out.
"I'll explain later when we meet, for now, just take my word for it," Ramon said, he was trying not to rush Hailee, not wanting to add to his wife's panic, but it was a difficult endeavor to do in a situation like this. "Go now, I will come soon."
Before the phone line was cut, Hailee managed to hear a loud sound, like something was falling and a loud bang.
What's that? Gun?
Immediately, Hailee's whole body felt cold, as if her blood had frozen.
However, the pounding on her bedroom door and Pyro's voice forcing her to leave immediately, made Hailee realize that she had to hurry.
She doesn't know what's going on, but for sure Hailee must follow the instructions she got from Ramon.
Hailee immediately jumped out of bed and grabbed her jacket which was draped over the sofa and immediately opened the door.
Quickly, Pyro and several bodyguards led her out of the house. In the front yard, there were already several cars lined up, ready to escort Hailee away.
In the car, Pyro took a soft and warm fluffy blanket and slung it around Hailee's shoulders.
Pyro knew that Hailee would leave in a hurry and not have time to put on warmer clothes, as was the case now, Mrs. Tordoff just draped a jacket over her pajamas before coming out.
"Where are we going, Pyro?" Hailee asked, but the question remained unanswered when the car suddenly stopped.
"They're here," said one of the bodyguards sitting in the front seat.
Who?
