It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 198: TAKE A RISK (2)

This was also the actual reason why Giana did not want a divorce from Aidan when she wanted to be in an affair with Ramon or Aidan who also couldn't divorce Giana when he was also in an illicit relationship with Zia.

The impact of these mistakes was enormous and would greatly affect all aspects of their lives.

"Shareholders with a number of not too remarkable are competing to sell their shares, while those who hold shares above eight percent are still holding on and hoping this situation will subside by itself," Lexus added. He massaged his temples which were sore from last night's lack of sleep.

"What is the total number of shares that these people have?" Ramon asked, his fingers intertwined at his laptop screen showing a graph of numbers, reflecting the downfall of the two big companies.

With the influence and status that the Smith and Dawson families have, it was not that difficult for them to fix this situation. But of course it would take time, and during that time a variety of possibilities could happen, down to the worst.

Seeing this, Ramon had a mix feeling about what was happening between the two companies and the woman named Giana.

However, this kind of feeling was not in romantic or affectionate way, he just badly wanted to get his memories back and figured out who was this woman to him.

"Just a moment," Lexus mumbled, then checked the report in his hand once more. "Overall, from the twelve people who have a stake in Quantum, there are about twenty- three percent, while for JYT it's around twenty- six percent."

Quantum was the company owned by the Dawson family while JYT was the company owned by the Smith family.

"How many shares do the two families have?"

"The Smiths own forty- two percent, while the Dawsons own thirty- nine percent, which makes them the highest- ranking shareholders in the respective companies," Lexus reported this to Ramon, then with a suspicious look he raised his head and looked at him. A look at his brother left him frowning at the ominous feeling. "Don't tell me that you..."

Ramon then shifted his focus to his younger brother, making Lexus unable to finish his sentence. "Yes."

"Impossible," Lexus muttered as he shook his head.

"Yes, buy their shares from the stock market." Ramon confirmed what Lexus was thinking.

"Ramon you are crazy," Lexus clicked his tongue. This was a big decision that Ramon had to discuss with the other shareholders and Lexus couldn't see how his brother would be able to convince them all to buy shares of a troubled company. Two at that, though those companies were from the prominent one.

"Arrange a meeting with our shareholders," Ramon said in a final tone.

Okay, Lexus understood his brother very well when he was in this mood. If indeed Ramon was going to carry out his plan, then this would be a big and risky move, but Lexus also trusted his brother's judgment.

Ramon wouldn't do anything without a reason and he wouldn't enter a fight without thinking about how to win it either…

Hailee didn't think she was in a good condition to cook something for Ramon and although her nausea had long left, she didn't seem to be in a good mood. She still looked a little 'down'.

"Hey, you said you were going to cook something tonight? That was why I came here even though Ramon was looking at me fiercely," Lexus commented when he found out that the dinner served on the table was not one of Hailee's specials.

"I was, but I am not feeling well," Hailee said honestly as she ate her dinner with a little appetite.

"You are sick?" Lexus' nosy expression immediately changed when he saw Hailee who looked different from her usual cheerful self.

"No, I am fine…" Hailee said, then reached for the glass beside her, downing almost half of the mineral water in the glass to remove the stinging taste from the steak she was eating.

Ugh!

This steak, which she usually loved so much, now tasted like sand when it touched her taste buds. Maybe Hailee wasn't really doing well...

On the other hand, Ramon reached out his hand to check Hailee's temperature. He put his palm on Hailee's forehead and didn't feel that his wife had a fever.

"I am fine," Hailee said as she avoided Ramon's uncomfortable hand on her forehead and started eating again.

Opposite them, Lexus looked at Ramon and moved his lips, mouthing silently; 'What is wrong? You guys are fighting again?' That was what he asked, because that was the only reason he could think of, to be the cause of Hailee's bad mood.

However, the older brother didn't respond and continued eating, as if he didn't notice what Lexus was trying to ask.

Every now and then, Ramon's eyes would dart toward his wife which intensified the feeling that Hailee wasn't in a good mood, making him a little worried. But of course Ramon wouldn't say anything now, not when Lexus was at the same dining table with them. This little brother could be really annoying…

================

Aileen did not think that she had just survived a car accident that almost killed her and Theodore.

Luckily, the speed of the truck that hit their car was not too fast and only hit the side of the car, which made it steer off the track. And fortunately again, because the road at that time was not too congested, so there would not be a series of accidents because of it.

However, this still left Aileen in a shock that made her unable to think clearly for a while.

And because the hospital Theodore was taking her to was far from where the accident had happened, they had to go to the nearest hospital, and even though there were no major injuries, but Aileen had to get her 'pregnancy checked' immediately, lest anything happened to her and the baby in her stomach in the future.

At first, being too shocked, there was nothing else on Aileen's mind except being grateful that nothing serious had happened, but when they arrived at the nearest hospital, Aileen began to realize that something was unusual…

The closest hospital they ended up coming was the same hospital where Aileen used to check her 'pregnancy', the same hospital that George had asked for, where the doctor who used to treat Aileen was.

Of course, it was the doctor who had teamed up with George to create this lie.

It was only after the doctor finished examining Aileen that she realized that this was too strange to be a coincidence.

That collision, the location where the accident occurred and this hospital…

"How is she?" Theodore asked in a serious tone, with his brows furrowed. He himself did not suffer any major injuries, except for a slight bruise on his right arm due to the impact of the car door when holding Aileen's body so that she would not hit the glass beside her. It happened instinctively…

"Both mother and baby are fine," the Doctor said, he then glanced at Aileen briefly, before returning his focus to Theodore. "I will write a prescription for her to rest and Mrs. Gevano should be on bedrest. Luckily nothing significant happened to the two of them, because the baby is still too early in the pregnancy."

The doctor with thick glasses perched on his nose gave some advice and wrote down a prescription for Theodore.

It was just that, for now, Aileen's thoughts were not on it, because the only thing that filled her head right now was; she had to ask George the matter directly, to make sure her gut feelings weren't right.

But, no matter how much she denied, there was something inside her that told her that her suspicions were true.

"Let's go home," Theodore said in a cold voice after he finished talking to the doctor and walked over to Aileen who was still lying on the hospital bed with blank eyes and a confused expression.

"Oh," Aileen mumbled, she didn't even notice when Theodore and the doctor had finished speaking.

And with Theodore's help, she got out of bed and smiled formally at the doctor who treated her.

Actually, Aileen wanted to ask the doctor if George had said something to him, but of course Aileen couldn't do that in front of Theodore.

Her mind was really too busy thinking about this seemingly absurd possibility that she didn't hear what Theodore had to say to her.

Because if it was true that George was involved in the accident she had just had, then that would be terrible. If George had dared to take such a drastic step to stop Theodore from getting Aileen's pregnancy checked up, then what else would George not do to achieve his goal.

Just thinking about it made Aileen's body tremble without her realizing it.

"Aileen, did you hear what I said?" Theodore asked Aileen in a slightly louder voice.

Stuttering, Aileen shifted her focus from the terrible thoughts of George to Theodore. "Sorry, what did you say earlier?"

Theodore sighed slowly. "I know you are very surprised by the accident we just had, but don't let it get to you too much." He rubbed Aileen's head briefly. "My personal assistant is on his way here after resolving the matter at the police station with our impactor."

"Oh, alright…" Aileen nodded, even though she only heard half of what Theodore said. "I will be fine after resting."

"I will be gone for a while to collect your medicine, so you can wait here," Theodore said in a somber voice. He felt tired and annoyed that his plan didn't go the way he expected, but what else could he do in this situation?

"I will wait here," Aileen said obediently and then sat down on a nearby bench.

After seeing Aileen sit down and return to her thoughts, Theodore no longer bothered the woman and quickly finished his business. He had to call the hospital where he intended to take Aileen earlier and reschedule her visit.

Meanwhile, after Theodore's departure, Aileen's mind wandered to the possibilities of George's involvement in what she had just experienced.

Half of her heart said that George couldn't have done that, because after all Aileen was his daughter and if there was even a slightest mistake and she died, wouldn't that be too much of a risk to take?

However, Aileen's intuition said differently.

It was at that moment that Aileen's cell phone vibrated, signaling an incoming call, which was none other than the person she had in mind.

"Did you plan all of this?" Without greeting first, Aileen immediately asked the question that roamed in her mind.
