It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 238: PEOPLE KNEW

Hailee did ask Pyro not to follow her into Aileen's office and told him to wait in the lobby.

Although, at first, Pyro seemed to object to Hailee's decision, because Ramon said not to leave Hailee alone even for a second. But in the end, after much persuasion and promises, the bodyguard agreed, on a note; Hailee had to call him immediately if anything happened. Whatever it might be.

And with Hailee agreeing to the conditions, she went up to the eighteenth floor with none of her bodyguards.

After all, Hailee thought, what could possibly happen to her in an office building full of so many people. Even if Aileen wanted to do something, she wouldn't be stupid enough to do it in front of a crowd, would she?

Therefore, when Aileen said she would escort her to the lobby, she didn't see any bodyguard waiting for Hailee outside her room. This made the former smile inside, thinking that her plan would go well.

"I didn't know you were so kind to leave your work, just to walk me to the lobby," Hailee said lightly as she watched some of the staff work in their cubicles, occasionally stealing a few glances at her. "Are you worried about me?"

Aileen didn't answer the annoying question and continued walking toward the elevator doors at the end of the corridor.

Seeing Aileen remain silent, Hailee felt that something was wrong. Maybe it was just a feeling, but it was better to be on guard than sorry, right?

Subtly, Hailee reached for something that was in her pocket.

But, just at that moment, Aileen suddenly dragged her toward the emergency exit by pulling Hailee's hand.

Once they were inside, Aileen's eyes immediately fell on the CCTV camera hanging at the corner of the stairs.

"What do you want?" asked Hailee with a bored expression. "Is this one of your tricks to set me up again?"

"You're too arrogant Hailee," Aileen growled, seeing how calm Hailee was in this situation. Shouldn't she start worrying that Aileen would do something to her?

"Arrogant?" Hailee laughed when she heard the accusation. "Don't I deserve it? I am the owner of this jewelry company, heir to the Tatum family and now I am married to Ramon Tordoff. I don't need to explain, you know who Ramon Tordoff is, right?" Hailee said arrogantly.

"You…" Aileen gritted her teeth furiously.

"…Now I'm Hailee Tordoff." Hailee touched her chin, looking thoughtful. "Should I explain again why I deserve to be arrogant? Then we would be in this emergency staircase until tomorrow, but I don't have time for that. I must return to welcome my husband." Hailee glanced at Aileen, making the woman's breathing grow heavier with mounting anger.

Aileen had been holding back her anger since the day of her marriage, then at home when she had to face Mrs. Gevano, but now she had to face Hailee's taunts as well? Of course Aileen didn't take this situation well.

"While you…" Hailee hung her words purposefully. "I can't say that you are happy with your marriage to Theodore… you look like a ghost with that sour look on your face." Hailee smiled happily. "How does it feel to be married to a man who doesn't want to marry you?"

"Hailee…" Aileen growled angrily when she heard that.

"You know that a few days before your wedding, Theodore came to my house? Imagine… he didn't even care about Ramon and came to see me. I wonder how much courage he must have mustered up just to meet me." Hailee didn't stop provoking Aileen.

It was like an addiction to Hailee now. She kept being tempted to make Aileen even angrier.

If Aileen was filled with hatred and wrath, then Hailee was filled with pleasure in witnessing what she was seeing right now.

"He dared to provoke Ramon just to say that he already knew about the incident at the hotel the other day with Roland Dimatrio." Hailee took steps back until she could lean against the wall, but she did this to get away from Aileen, lest she could reach her easily. "Then he apologized to me. Saying how sorry he is for distrusting me."

Aileen was getting angry when Hailee reminded her of that incident, of course Aileen remembered it clearly, because the night before their wedding, the two had a big fight.

Theodore came to Aileen with anger brimming in his eyes that left her body trembling.

If it wasn't for the two of them having to save each other's face and Aileen's pregnancy, it was certain that their wedding plans the next day would have been cancelled.

Unfortunately, both of them were still thinking about their reputation.

If word got out that they were getting married because Aileen was pregnant, it would bring disgrace to the Gevano family, especially if they didn't get married...

"But don't worry Aileen, this is just the beginning, there will be many things that will happen after this…" Hailee said this sentence in a sarcastic tone. Not paying attention to Aileen whose face turned dark, due to unbearable anger.

"Yes, indeed, there will be a lot going on after this," Aileen said through her jaw clenched tightly. Her hands were fisted at her sides until her nails pierced her palms. "But it's not me who should be careful, it's you."

Hailee raised her eyebrows in an arrogant manner. "What would you do? Push me off the stairs and cause me to suffer a miscarry?" Hailee said this calmly. "People will know that I'm with you. Didn't you see the CCTV over there? I don't think Ramon will stay silent if you do that to me."

Aileen snorted. "Don't you know that with just one word from me, the evidence will be erased forever if I were to push you down from here? But, no Hailee, I wouldn't do that to you. Like you said earlier, people know that I'm with you."

And after saying that last sentence, Aileen dropped herself from the top of the stairs.
