It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 92: MANIPULATED THE SITUATION

Chapter 92: MANIPULATED THE SITUATION

Hailee was utterly at a loss for words in the face of the hypocritical, double- faced Aileen. A ton of scoldings and insults were struggling inside her head, ready for her to hurl, but at the same time, Hailee knew she couldn't do that.

Because that was the kind of reaction Aileen wanted from her. She wanted Hailee to embarrass herself by acting inappropriate.

Right at that moment, Hailee felt Ramon's hand pulling her closer and the warmth from the body of the man who had been standing beside her, gave a feeling of security and made her relax a little.

"Should I understand this?" Ramon looked at Hailee gently. "Didn't you tell yourself that if you have me, then you don't want anything else? You will really disappoint me if I have to compete with him."

Hailee found herself smiling when she heard Ramon saying this. Not only Aileen, there was no need to doubt Ramon's ability when it came to manipulative words and this man could even do it without any effort.

As if complicated things like this were something familiar to him.

Maybe so, because for people like Ramon, this kind of ability was indispensable in a business world full of intrigue.

"Competition?" Hailee put her arm around Ramon's waist and smiled very sweetly. "Why do you have to compete? I've already told you, no? you are the jackpot!" She then stood on tiptoes and kissed Ramon on the cheek.

But from the corner of her eye, Hailee could see Aileen's hateful look.

"I am sorry we didn't meet earlier." Hailee continued. "If only my parents were still alive and they had seen us now, I can bet that having you as their son- in- law would make them really happy."

In other words, Hailee's parents were not that happy when they had Theodore as their son- in- law.

Of course, the Gevano and Tordoff families were two very different entities. Who would refuse a proposal from the Tordoffs? Even a blind person could see all the benefits and a very bright future when you make it into the circle of five famous families in this Country, one of which was the Tordoffs.

"Hailee, you can't say that… not only did you have an affair behind Theodore, when you both were still in relationship, but you also lied to Mr. Tordoff… I think Mr. Tordoff did not know about your previous engagement to Theodore." Aileen glanced at Ramon doubtfully.

However, the gesture she made was completely the opposite of how she felt right now.

Aileen firmly believed which man would hold on to a woman who had double- edged him and flirted between two men, especially a man like Ramon Tordoff. How could he possibly be fooled like that?

Ramon definitely didn't know about Hailee and Theodore's relationship before this.

However, Ramon's subsequent response left Aileen speechless and at a loss for words.

"Of course I know," Ramon said calmly, but his gentle eyes focused solely on Hailee. "There are no secrets between us, right?"

Hailee laughed at Ramon's words. "Of course not." Then she cocked her head toward Aileen, glaring at her, with a grin on her lips. "Ramon knows everything. All."

Hailee deliberately emphasized that last word. Making Aileen understand that Ramon really knew Aileen's rottenness, as well as a warning to her adoptive sister so that she should stop pretending in front of Ramon, because it would only embarrass her further.

On the other hand, Aileen was not stupid and could pick up on the implied message of Hailee's gaze and words, immediately she could feel the anxiety creeping up to her heart.

Really… Ramon Tordoff knew everything? He just trusted Hailee…? No way, right?

However, the news about Roland Dimatrio and the involvement of Central Bank in the disclosure of the corruption case in the Mega project really worried Aileen. She herself also realized that Central Bank was under the control of the Tordoff family, which meant....

"I want to see our wedding ring... why are we still standing here?" Hailee whined, shaking Ramon's hand indulgently, as if showing off their intimacy.

Then without saying much else, Hailee took Ramon's arm and the two of them walked away from Aileen and Theodore, who were still standing, stunned in disbelief at Hailee's change of attitude.

Not only that, Hailee even took the time to look back and cast a provocative look at Aileen and said to Theodore.

"May you two be happy forever." Hailee smiled very sweetly. "You two are very compatible with each other."

Even though that was what Hailee said, but it sounded different in Theodore and Aileen's ears, as if Hailee was cursing them both. The words were wrapped in hidden meanings.

After Hailee and Ramon were quite far from the dumbfounded couple, she whispered into Ramon's ear in a low voice. "You are so good at turning things around." Hailee also pointed her thumbs at Ramon.

"You think I can lead a company with emotions and narrow minded like you?" Ramon asked while rubbing Hailee's head, this gesture certainly made every woman watching them stare at Hailee with envy.

"Is this move just for show?" Hailee glanced at Ramon's hand which was still perched on her head.

"Yes," Ramon replied curtly and this time he ruffled Hailee's hair, making the girl squeal in annoyance. But, of course other people who saw it didn't find it annoying, because afterward Ramon took Hailee's hand and they both walked toward the VIP room that had been provided for the important customers.

On the other hand, Theodore was staring at the scene with an unreadable expression, while next to him, Aileen was watching him with a nervous face.

"I didn't expect Hailee to change so drastically after being with Ramon Tordoff." Aileen put her arm around Theodore's, trying to get the man's attention. "She has never been like this before."

Theodore then sighed heavily when he saw that Hailee had walked into the room with Ramon by her side.

"Is it true that you met Hailee and she slapped you?" Theodore asked in a deep voice. After all, it was hard to believe Hailee's words.

However, Theodore could also see that Hailee was not lying when she said that she had slapped Aileen.

After all, why did Hailee have to lie about that? Theodore also saw Aileen's cheeks being swollen slightly a few days ago.

"I…" Aileen thought hard about getting out of this situation without making Theodore suspicious, because if this man had doubted her and dug deeper into her and Roland Dimatrio's information, it was not impossible that he would find out something.

After all, the influence of the Gevano family was quite large in this town of T.

"Let's talk about this in the car," Theodore decided. He didn't want to stay there any longer and be the center of attention.

Therefore, holding Aileen's hand, he led the two of them out of the jewelry store as if nothing had happened, and headed to the lobby before getting into the car waiting for them.

"Tell me honestly Aileen." Theodore looked at the woman next to him, who was looking down with a face that looked so sad. Seeing this, Theodore felt discouraged and rubbed her head gently.

"Tell me, is it true that you met Hailee before? And she slapped you?" Theodore's voice softened, his tone was no longer firm, but persuading Aileen to speak.

And just then, Aileen suddenly hugged him and started sobbing softly. "I am sorry I didn't tell you the truth."

Inevitably, Theodore embraced Aileen's shaking body, trying to calm her down.

It was Aileen's nature that made Theodore unable to let go of this woman, because with Aileen, he felt needed and could feel this woman's fear if she lost him.

It may sound strange, but as a man, Theodore liked that kind of feeling. This satisfied his male ego as a man.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Theodore asked again.

"Because I don't want to worry you and our meeting didn't go well anyway," Aileen told him between sobs.

"So it's true that Hailee has slapped you?" Theodore didn't expect that Hailee would do something like that. Didn't Hailee really love Aileen?

Aileen nodded, this time she raised her head to look at Theodore with her lashes still wet with tears. "But I really don't have any relationship with Roland Dimatrio. I don't even know why Hailee made such accusations. "

Theodore frowned, but then he shook his head. "I think she's just getting pissed off and making baseless accusations." Then his hand rubbed Aileen's face gently, wiping away her tears. "I can't see what it is in your interest to have a relationship with Roland Dimatrio."

"Maybe Hailee thought that with the matter of linking my name and that of the district attorney, she could damage my reputation," Aileen muttered. "You know, Roland Dimatrio has been in the spotlight lately..."

Theodore sighed and hugged Aileen. "We don't need to discuss this, just focus on our engagement."
