It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 306: SNAKES LAIR

Chapter 306: SNAKE'S LAIR

Lexus looked at the young woman beside him and was not at all interested in having a warm chat with her, as his thoughts were currently miles away, not to mention he had never seen this woman before and had no recollection of seeing her at a party he had ever attended.

Yes, Lexus's ability to remember faces is remarkable, because he is required to be able to recognize these important people and greet them properly, that is the basis of good communication.

People tend to be more friendly when their name is called, especially when the other person remembers who they are.

"I'm Hailee's friend," the young woman said. The two of them were now in the corner of the balcony, a place a bit far from the clamor of the party and the likes. Only the two of them were in the not so secluded balcony. "Where is Hailee now?"

Lexus glanced at the young woman and once again tried to contact Ramon. "She didn't come. Sick."

"Sick?" she asked. "Oh, is the baby okay?"

The news about Hailee's pregnancy was not widely publicized, as Ramon didn't want to draw a lot of unnecessary attention to his personal life, let alone Hailee, but it is unavoidable as many people already know about this.

Lexus wanted to cry when he heard that question, because right now he wanted to know what happened to Hailee or Ramon as well, or anyone who could give him information about his family.

Ugh! Why was he the only one left here? Lexus grumbled. He was like a child who was not invited to the playground.

"I don't know," Lexus replied curtly and clicked his tongue because he still couldn't reach Ramon, instead he tried to contact Danny, although he was annoyed that he had to contact the man.

"You don't seem as friendly as the rumors that are going around," the woman criticized Lexus while giving him an appraising look. "If I knew Hailee wasn't coming, I wouldn't have come here," she grumbled. "What a waste of time."

"Sorry," said Lexus, running out of patience to hear this fussy woman. "Can you leave me alone?"

The woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, then laughed. "I come here first, and you as the host of this party, shouldn't you be sitting there?" the woman pointed at the crowd in front of them, where the guests were rejoicing and laughing at the evening's meal.

Even though Lexus knew that most of them were starting to feel that something was wrong in this party, of course they wouldn't say it out loud. After all, it's hard to fool people like them.

Lexus sighed in annoyance. "At least, don't be noisy," he said.

The woman was just about to complain when Lexus raised his hand to stop her from speaking because after millions of full moons waiting from him, Danny finally picked up his phone call.

"Where are you? Where's Ramon?" asked Lexus impatiently, but then he realized he wasn't alone, so he lowered his voice. "I called you earlier, why did you only pick up now?" Lexus grumbled in annoyance.

"Why do you keep calling me?" Danny asked from across the phone. From the sound of the horns behind him, Lexus could tell that Danny was on the road. Could Ramon be nearby too?

"Have you seen my eighteen missed calls?" asked Lexus again sarcastically.

"I'm not your boyfriend, if I don't pick up the phone from you, you should understand," Danny replied. He didn't really want to pick up any calls from Lexus, but because the consistent ringing was so annoying and he was waiting for an important call, he couldn't help but pick it up and tell Ramon's younger brother to stop calling him.

Actually, though, another reason Danny didn't pick up the call was because he knew what Lexus was going to ask and he didn't have the answer.

Lexus glared when he heard those words and sighed loudly. "Just tell me, where is Ramon now?"

"He's on his way to the hotel to see you," Danny replied.

"What?" Lexus didn't believe it.

"I think he's there by now," he repeated.

And sure enough, when Lexus turned around, he saw his brother's figure in the crowd, greeting the guests as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, shit!" Lexus cursed to himself. "I really don't understand what's going through his head…"

Sometimes, Lexus can't read what's on Ramon's mind… he's so unpredictable.

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

Hailee woke up when she was in the car, with a bodyguard she recognized, but as soon as she recalled the recent events that happened at the Tordoff residence, she immediately realized that she was in danger.

The people who had forcibly entered her room were Ramon's men, one of which was the bodyguard who was always with her besides Pyro.

"Ramon will kill you if anything happens to me," Hailee said fiercely. "Let me down here now." Hailee's voice was so sharp and cold, it made the bodyguard named Argos feel uncomfortable.

But, it wasn't enough for him to do what Hailee asked.

After trying to speak to Argos several times and the man refusing to answer, Hailee no longer continued wasting her time. She also didn't want any physical contact with Argos because there was no way she could win, especially when the pain in her stomach started to return.

Hailee tried her best to stay calm...

Hailee tried to look at the surrounding streets and recognized that the place was one of the business centers in F city and they were heading for one of the elite housing estates in the city.

Half an hour later they entered a courtyard and Argos stopped his car right on the front porch of the house and asked her to get off.

Hailee complied, because she couldn't see an opening for herself to escape.

Argos then escorted Hailee to the second floor and opened a door for her. However, it wasn't because of the luxury of the room that Hailee was surprised, because inside, she saw Giana and Aileen.

Immediately her blood turned cold and Hailee felt increasingly alert.

"Don't look at me like that," Giana scolded. "I know absolutely nothing about this." She raised her hands in surrender, but Hailee could see the evil intent behind her eyes.

"Oh, that's very convincing," Hailee said sarcastically. She then looked around, looking for something to protect herself. Because after all, she was in a snake's lair.
