Chapter 349 - SHOO HER AWAY
Chapter 349 – SHOO HER AWAY
Today Hailee was visiting her family's company where this would be her first official appearance after she married Ramon Tordoff and also inherited the company.
Her wish was only one, namely; to bring down George Tatum and make him regret forever for treating her parents so badly.
Hailee would begin to take what was rightfully hers and avenge those who have hurt her over the years.
And now her plan starts with George Tatum.
Together with twelve bodyguards accompanying her, led by Barry, the new head of Hailee's security, who was appointed by Ramon, Hailee walked into the company building.
Which, of course, attracted the attention of many people. With so many bodyguards protecting her, it indirectly portrayed how important Hailee is.
Even some employees who weren't aware of Hailee's identity as the largest shareholder in her own company, would now know that this woman was no ordinary woman and could not be underestimated.
The aura that radiated from Hailee was really strong, leaving everyone around stunned and not daring to approach, especially with the twelve men around her.
It's just that George Tatum was nothing like most normal people, he even dared to cut off Hailee's path and make a bit of a fuss before the meeting started.
"Leave him alone," Hailee said casually. She looked at her father's younger brother with scornful eyes and a smile on the corners of her lips that didn't reach her eyes at all.
How could Hailee give such a genuine smile to the person who had destroyed her family? She was being too patient with George.
"What do you want?" Hailee then glanced at the expensive watch that was wrapped around her wrist. "The meeting will start in less than fifteen minutes, you better hurry because I don't want to be late for my first meeting."
Hearing this, George really wanted to slap Hailee and wipe the smile from his nephew's lips, but he could only do that in his mind.
Under the watchful eyes of these twelve bodyguards, it was the most unlikely thing to happen.
"You want to attend the shareholders meeting?" asked George in a hissing voice. He tried to keep his emotions stable, but sadly, it was so hard to do when you were solely focused on your anger.
On the other hand, Hailee just raised her eyebrows in a defiant manner, as if to ask; what do you mean?
"This is my company, so it's given that I should be here," Hailee replied nonchalantly. She then looked around and her smile grew sweeter. Only, George felt his blood boil even more when he saw Hailee's calm demeanor.
Didn't she just lose her first child? How could she be so calm? It was as if nothing major had happened in her life.
Hailee was only getting better at hiding her feelings, especially in front of her enemies, where these emotions could be exploited by them. In this regard, Hailee learned well from her beloved husband Ramon, who had shown her that good tactics alone were not enough.
"You don't have to bring so many bodyguards like this," George said scornfully. "You think someone's going to hurt you here?"
Hearing that, Hailee laughed softly. "Of course it is necessary, don't tell me you don't know what happened to me a few days ago." Hailee then added. "Your dear daughter must have told you, right? She was there before she became a fugitive."
Hailee was kidnapped from the Tordoffs' house, which meant that nowhere was safe for her.
Not to mention in a company like this.
"If you have nothing more to say, then I'll go to the meeting room first," Hailee said quietly, but enough for George to hear her. "I'll wait for you in the boardroom later."
Meanwhile, almost everyone in the lobby watched the two of them and started whispering to each other because this was the first time they were seeing the wife of Ramon Tordoff, who was also the owner of the Tatum company.
Hailee Tatum.
Ah, no, she had become Hailee Tordoff…
"Even though you are the largest shareholder in this company, don't forget that I also hold shares in this company," George growled as Hailee passed him.
Immediately Hailee stopped walking and turned her head slightly, looking at George out of the corner of her eye. "Of course I won't forget that."
Of course Hailee wouldn't forget it, because she wouldn't leave a penny for George to enjoy. Not after today.
This rotten man would learn what it was like to live while being half dead.
And after saying that, Hailee walked back to the meeting room, where the other shareholders were waiting for her, while George followed her a few steps behind, unable to break through the human barrier formed by her stiff and cold looking bodyguards.
================
Ramon was reviewing the files he got from Marco on Leon Dawson. He used everything, even his connections in the black and illegal world, to get the bad guy out.
Ramon was going to make sure Leon Dawson got a payback far more horrific than what he had done to Hailee.
This was just the beginning.
"Mr. Tordoff, someone wants to see you," said Danny, who was now standing in the doorway of his study.
Ramon lifted his head from the pile of documents scattered on his desk and frowned when he saw the indescribable expression on his personal assistant's face.
"Mrs. Smith," Danny said, answering a question that was not voiced by Ramon.
Since the divorce trial between Giana and Aidan was still on going, it meant that she still had the name Smith behind hers.
"Then what were you doing there?" asked Ramon. He then looked down again to continue reading the report in his hand which needed extra attention from him.
"Eh?" Danny didn't understand the way Ramon had answered him. What should he do about this? Did Ramon want to meet the woman or not?
Sometimes, Danny still felt trouble reading the mood of Lexus' brother.
"Throw her out," Ramon said impatiently. He recalled how Hailee was so angry when they went to that house. Of course, he didn't want to go through it again…
