Luckily when Mrs. Gevano said that, Ramon was quite far from them. So, it was safe for Hailee to assume that the man didn't hear what Mrs. Gevano said just now.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Gevano also knew that Ramon couldn't hear them, so she continued her small talk.
"If this had been the marriage of the two of you, your mother would have been very happy, because after all this was the wedding we both wanted," Mrs. Gevano kept saying anything and everything as if she had forgotten the fact that Hailee had married another man and today was her son's wedding to a woman of his own choosing. "I know your mother very well."
On the other hand, when she heard that, Hailee politely withdrew her hand from Mrs. Gevano and while still smiling, she replied to those words.
"My mom would be happy to see me happy now, after all..." Hailee hung her words, but the look in her eyes suggested something Mrs. Gevano was too late to notice. "After all… my mother wouldn't be that happy if she found out what Theodore had done behind my back."
Mrs. Gevano was about to open her mouth to defend her son by saying that Theodore was not entirely at fault and that it was all Aileen's ruse to gain a better position in society by raising her social status.
But, Hailee didn't let Mrs. Gevano say that because she already knew very well what the middle-aged woman in front of her would say. Indeed, like mother like son, now only Hailee realized from whom Theodore got his arrogance.
"You know my mother very well and you also know how much hate my mother would feel for betrayal," Hailee said, looking satisfied with the look on Mrs. Gevano who turned pale and lost her words.
Mrs. Gevano's behavior was totally unacceptable. What she said only meant she didn't respect Ramon, and by not respecting her husband, of course she wasn't respecting Hailee either.
Hailee wouldn't let anyone trample on her family's name like that, especially in front of her.
After saying that, Hailee gave her a sweet smile once more before backing away and approaching Ramon, who was chatting with some of Theodore's family who wanted to know more about him.
It was very rare for them to chance upon an opportunity to meet Ramon Tordoff in person, of course they all would not miss this opportunity, especially when they had the chance to attract Ramon's attention in investing into their business.
"Are you done talking to your former mother-in-law?" asked Ramon in a low voice that only Hailee could hear.
Hailee immediately raised her head when she heard Ramon's question, but she could see the mischievous glint in her husband's eyes.
"No need for a longer talk, I'm afraid she will regret even more for not having me as her daughter-in-law," Hailee replied confidently and this made Ramon laugh.
================
Giana should have taken this into account, that she would meet Ramon at Aileen's wedding, because after all Aileen was Hailee's adopted sister. So, it was certain that if that woman was here, then Ramon would accompany her without a doubt.
