Chapter 293: NIGHT OF ANNYVERSARY (5)

Lis looked pale, even her exquisite make- up couldn't help to cover up the anxiety she was feeling when she witnessed Ramon and Lexus finally meeting Leon.

"Good evening, Mr. Dawson," said Ramon in an even tone. His eyes stared intently at the man in front of him. "Or should I call you Mr. Long? Since you are no longer recognized as a member of the Dawson family?"

Lexus' smile faded. He recognized his brother's expression and tone of voice. Ramon wouldn't treat people he met for the first time like this.

Therefore, if Ramon were to show blatant hostility, whoever this person was, he was not the right person to discuss business matters with, or whatever…

Lexus' friendly attitude immediately changed. Of course he would stand by his brother's side.

Lexus looked at Ramon with a slightly wrinkled brow when he heard how coldly his older brother had responded to Leon Dawson's greeting.

He was confused as to why Ramon was treating the middle- aged man he had just met in such a cold manner. While his brother wasn't the type to socialize with a lot of people, he wouldn't show his displeasure openly either, unless the person really irritated him.

And seeing from the way Ramon behaved and how he refused to shake hands with Leon Dawson, Lexus immediately concluded one thing; whatever the problem between Ramon and this man was, it was definitely the middle- aged man's fault, because his brother would never be wrong!

For that one, Lexus knew for sure.

On the other hand, Leon could see the change in Lexus' attitude when Ramon arrived. His son stood beside his brother, giving him a cold look, as if he had already decided who he would side with, considering how Ramon had openly shown his displeasure.

Leon really wanted to laugh seeing how his own son had opposed him to such an extent without knowing the real reason.

"You two should welcome the guests, mother will accompany Mr. Dawson for a minute," Lis said, trying to lighten the mood, hoping Ramon would give her some face. "He will be leaving soon, because he has business to attend to, so mother will see him out."

However, Ramon had a different idea. "Then, I will see him out." Ramon walked two steps forward and opened his palm. "This way, please."

"No, that…" Lis stammered. If she didn't want to leave Lexus and Leon alone, then even more so when Ramon initiated to be alone with Leon. No one would know what would? happen next.

"It's okay Lis, I do have some things I want to talk to him about." Leon looked at his son again, who looked a little clueless about the situation. "Regarding business," he added.

"You two proceed, I will catch up in a minute," Ramon said to Lis and Lexus. Then walked away with Leon.

Before that, Leon had turned to look at the worried faces of Lis and Lexus. "I will call you when I get home," he said. The sentence sounded awfully ambiguous.

Leon really got Lis into trouble.

"Call when he gets home?" Lexus muttered, but loud enough for Lis to hear clearly. "What does he mean?" Lexus then turned to his mother. "You two seem very familiar? What's the relationship between the two of you?"

Lis was silent, but she tried not to seem too surprised at the question and instead hit Lexus on the arm and scolded him.

"Don't be silly, if other people hear you they will misunderstand things," Lis grumbled, and unlike Ramon, Lexus wasn't that sensitive when it came to judging small changes in someone's expression, especially people close to him, whom he thought he didn't have to suspect.

"Mom, don't hit me like that, you are ruining my image!" exclaimed Lexus. He then walked away avoiding Lis, but still managed to see the backs of Ramon and Leon who disappeared into the crowd.

What happened? Why does Ramon seem to hate that man so much?

Lexus's curiosity was very difficult to curb, because if there really was something big, it's certain that Ramon would let him know later, right?

Lexus then saw someone familiar standing alone sipping his drink, it seemed that he had just had a long talk with a group of businessmen and was now resting for a while.

"Hey," said Lexus reluctantly. He didn't really like the idea that Danny knew more about what Ramon was doing than he did, but in this case, Lexus couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm?" Danny hummed in askance, which made Lexus grit his teeth. God! He's so annoying! "You know who the guy that came out of the hall with Ramon was just now?"

"Didn't see him," Danny replied curtly.

"Impossible," concluded Lexus. "You are here, of course you saw who Ramon was with."

"I did not," Danny repeated as he walked away from Lexus.

"Danny!" Lexus growled.

However, Danny didn't respond at all to his former college friend and kept walking away. He didn't want Lexus to ask something he couldn't answer.

Hailee felt lonely because Ramon wasn't around. Maybe this was because the last few days Ramon had been by her side twenty- four hours a day and she was used to seeing Ramon sitting on the sofa beside her bed, typing away on his laptop busily.

Therefore, even though it was only a few hours since Ramon had left, she already felt mellow and lonely.

Even her favorite drama show couldn't hold her interest and after missing an episode, Hailee didn't even understand how the story was going. She wanted Ramon to be by her side…

She wanted Ramon to be here with her.

Maybe by falling asleep, the night would pass quickly and as Ramon said, when she woke up in the morning, Ramon would be beside her kissing her good morning, like he always did.

With that in mind, Hailee turned off the television and pulled up the covers, preparing to slip into slumber.

On the contrary, after the atmosphere became very quiet, and upon the realization that she was alone, Hailee felt very lonely and sad…

Maybe this pregnancy made her feel extra whiny and overly sensitive, because in the next second all she knew was; she started crying...

"Are you sure my sister is here?" Ian asked Marco who was staring at the old building in front of them.

Ian, Marco and two others were in a black car parked near the beach, and a few hundred meters away was a house, not too big with a man blowing out white smoke occasionally from the cigarette he was holding.

"Yes, we spotted your sister ourselves," Marco said confidently, "Now we just have to wait for orders from Mr. Tordoff."

Marco tracked Ian's phone call the other day, because indeed Ian's cell phone had a tracking device installed, so it wasn't too difficult for them to find the caller's location.

But, that didn't mean they could? immediately find this location, because it took a lot of effort by following everyone involved until Marco found out where they held Ian's sister hostage.

"What is Ramon doing? Why hasn't he made a call yet?" Ian grumbled impatiently. He clicked his tongue and looked back at the man in the distance.
