Chapter 318: TRYING TO SURVIVE (3)

Chad took Aileen and Giana to the same room, to which Hailee was taken earlier, without saying anything.

This didn't make Giana suspicious, because Chad didn't really talk much. His job as Leon's right-hand man requires him not to be careless by running his mouth and saying unnecessary things outside of the context of his work.

"Where's Hailee?" Aileen asked, because she was curious. It had been several hours since Hailee was taken away, and no one had told them about her whereabouts or what they had done to her.

Chad then stopped in front of a door made of mahogany with intricate carvings that shouted luxury, while two guards could be seen standing in front of the door, bowing slightly to salute Chad and as if to say that the situation there was under control.

Chad nodded back at them and they both left, leaving the three of them behind.

However, before Chad opened the door to the room, he said to Aileen and Giana.

"This is a gift from Mr. Long to you two." He talked in a very formal tone as if it was an important announcement. "As a form of gratitude to the two of you for helping him all this time."

Aileen didn't understand what Chad meant. She didn't feel that she had done anything significant. She even failed to complete Leon's first assignment because Hailee didn't come to the party last night, but she listened carefully.

"Mr. Long said that after Mr. Dimatrio is done with her, you can do whatever you like with her," he said, then took a step to the side, allowing Giana and Aileen to open the door. "Please."

"'Her?'" Giana repeated the word with a questioning face. "Who is the 'her' you are referring to here?" she asked probingly. Giana had a bad feeling about it, but she didn't want to jump to any conclusions herself either, as it seemed almost impossible for her assumptions to come true.

"You can see for yourself once you go inside," said Chad.

"What does Mr. Dimatrio have to do with this 'her'?" asked Giana. She clenched her jaw tightly. At least she had to prepare herself to see what was really going on behind that door.

"You can see for yourself inside," Chad repeated again.

Aileen, who couldn't wait for the answer to Giana's question, immediately stepped forward and opened the door, she didn't want to waste time on what she might know soon enough.

However, Giana didn't follow in her footsteps and still stood there, staring at Chad with furrowed brows, trying to assess how bad things were inside.

"This is a gift from Mr. Long. Mr. Long said that you really want to get rid of this woman," Chad began once again when Giana stayed silent while looking at him. "Therefore, you can do whatever you like with this woman."

Hailee…

Only one name crossed Giana's mind. She had indeed told Leon about Hailee, ever since her uncle found out about the affair between her and Ramon. She also remembered saying that she really wanted to get rid of this woman from her life.

However, it seemed that Giana was not ready to see what she would find in the room.

Especially when she heard a frantic scream from within. Aileen's voice sounded so scared, seemingly, petrified from seeing the scene inside.

And this only reinforced the bad feeling Giana felt earlier.

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

Ramon remembered...

He remembered that Giana once said that she had a house in town F which was inherited from her grandfather. A house in the city's elite residential area.

However, because Giana rarely went there, the house was mostly used by Leon. Even Giana herself said that she had given the house to her uncle. Even though Leon refused, Giana replaced the name of the house and made himself the legal owner.

Therefore, even though the house is a property that Giana owns, Leon actually uses it more often.

It was a very small memory out of the many memories that Ramon had got back and he felt a little relieved to be able to remember such a trivial thing.

And now all he had to do was go to town F and visit that house.

Ramon had also contacted David to gather as many people as he could get to meet him there.

Ramon doesn't even care how many traffic rules he has violated and the insults and curses he has received from road users for driving dangerously, but all of that can wait...

Things can wait until he gets his wife back…

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

After Ramon's departure, Lexus returned to Lis' study and found his mother still sitting in the same place with empty eyes.

Silently, Lexus also sat on the sofa his mother was sitting on but didn't say anything. Fatigue immediately overtook him as his back leaned against the back of the couch.

Not only physical exhaustion, but also mental...

For the past few hours, ever since Lexus learned that he was not his father's biological son and Leon was his biological father, he had been holding back this urge very strongly.

Because now wasn't the time to be having a mental breakdown, but when the silence that enveloped the room and his mother, the person he could ask about the truth of what Ramon had said, sat right across from him, Lexus couldn't help but rethink everything…

How could Lis lie to him for twenty-eight years of his life and act like nothing happened?

Lexus knew that his father was not an ideal father figure that could be idolized by him because the man only looked at him with hatred and treated him very unfairly, when compared to Ramon.

Lexus still remembered it all so clearly, even though it happened years ago.

Only, after knowing this fact, Lexus understood why his father behaved like that toward him. He even felt sorry and also grateful, because all this time, his father had never said a word about him who was not his own flesh and blood.

How could a man survive for so long, living under the same roof with the child of his own wife's infidelity?

"Mom..." Lexus called with his eyes still closed and a tired tone. "Why did you do that?" he couldn't understand his mother… Not even a bit…
