"You know something." And it was a firm statement from Ramon that demanded an explanation.
Ramon stood tall in front of Margaretha and looked foreign to the middle-aged woman, even though she had known Ramon since he was in Lis' womb. But, the young man in front of her now really had a domineering aura that made her lose her footing.
Ramon didn't really do anything, but those short words were like an emperor's verdict that was impossible to ignore.
"I… I don't know what you mean Ramon," Margaretha stammered, then cleared her throat to get her voice back, so when she spoke again she sounded more convincing. "I don't know Leon Dawson, if you think that Dawson guy has something to do with Lis, why don't you just ask her directly?"
But, of course the lie had been well seen by Ramon and he wouldn't have believed Margaretha so easily.
"If there's nothing else you want to ask, I'll go, I'll be late to meet my friend," she said, forcing a smile to form at the corners of her lips. "I'll contact you regarding the dress later."
Not far from them, a luxury car was waiting for Margaretha, where her assistant was sitting behind the driver's seat.
"I don't want to do this," Ramon mumbled as Margaretha turned around to quickly get into the car and away from the heir to the Tordoff family. "But, should I make you talk using Willy?" asked Ramon in a low voice.
Margaretha, who was about to descend the second step, instantly froze in place when Ramon uttered Willy's name in a threatening tone. Her heart was beating very fast while her hands started shaking uncontrollably.
It didn't take a genius to say that Margaretha was in a state of shock as well as real fear.
Slowly, Margaretha's body turned around to face Ramon again, she hoped what this man said wasn't true, and that he was just bragging about Willy.
However, Margaretha could see in the way Ramon was looking at her, if he knew. And he knew about Willy. But, how did he know about this?
"So can you tell me about Leon Dawson?" Ramon repeated his question. He was completely different from the Ramon that Margaretha had known all this time.
Yes, because this was Ramon's true nature. He just didn't show it when he was dealing with things he didn't think were necessary and was a waste of his energy.
However, this matter about Lis caught his attention and the fact that he was having a hard time getting more information about Leon Dawson didn't sit well with him at all.
"What do you mean by using Willy?" Margaretha asked and subconsciously she lowered her voice, as if afraid that someone else would hear them. Her eyes glazed over at Ramon, as if she couldn't believe that the dark secret of her life that only a few people knew about, was also known to Ramon.
Ramon looked at Margaretha, but the expression on his face didn't change, he wasn't in a hurry to answer the question, instead, this man was observing the woman who was his mother's best friend, making Margaretha even more uncomfortable upon being watched like that.
