It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: TO REPEL PESTS LIKE YOU

Ian paused his movements. He who was about to light his cigarette, immediately put it away.

Not because Ramon said Hailee would hate the smell, oh, Ian would gladly blow the smoke at Ramon's face and make this man have to suffer in the bathroom, scrubbing his body hard to get rid of the pungent smell of cigarettes.

But because the way Ramon looked at Ian was terrifying. It was as if Ian dared to try and light his cigarette, then Ramon himself would shove the cigarette into Ian's mouth so he could swallow it whole.

This man was terrible and his cruelty was on a whole different level when Hailee wasn't by his side.

"So what do you know about the people who told you to kill me?" Ramon said this lightly, as if this kind of topic was his daily conversation.

Ian couldn't imagine how many threats came Ramon's way for him to be so calm even though his life was in danger.

"I don't know much about them, but I guess once they find out their plan failed and I betrayed them by choosing to side with you, they won't contact me anymore..." said Ian in a low voice. He frowned. "And my sister..."

Ramon cut off Ian's words. "They'll call you," he said in a determined tone.

"How did you know about that?" Ian gritted his teeth. Indeed he felt a little relieved that he didn't have to kill Ramon and betray Hailee, creating havoc in the lives of those close to him, but on the other hand, there was his sister he had to save.

Ian couldn't understand how he got caught up in the complicated game of people like Ramon, when he was a nobody.

"Because they have your sister," said Ramon curtly. "They will call you back."

Ian narrowed his eyes. Ramon sounded so sure and Ian wanted to believe him. But…

"When they contact you again, you must report it to me," Ramon didn't give Ian a chance to express his doubts. "And if you choose otherwise and betray me again, you should worry about your own safety, before you worry about your sister."

Ian subconsciously shuddered when he heard Ramon's cold words, he didn't even notice when the man left him alone there.

Ramon's curt words meant that he would not hesitate to kill Ian if he endangered the man's life one more time.

And Ramon always kept his word.

What's more, Ian had seen how sadistic the Tordoff heir was, so there was no doubt if Ramon intended to kill him.

"We have to go home..." Ramon rubbed Hailee's head which was drooping on the back of the sofa. She looked exhausted and this made Ramon feel unhappy.

"I want to be here," Hailee said in a sleepy voice. "I don't want to leave Zia…"

"Go home Hailee, uncle will call you when Zia wakes up," said Uncle Diego. "You should take care of yourself too, especially since you're pregnant."

Hailee could no longer argue with that reason. If she wasn't pregnant, of course she would have insisted on being in the hospital until Zia came to her senses, but because her condition didn't allow her to do that, Hailee finally relented.

"Okay..." Hailee said quietly and with Ramon's help, she stood up and walked over to Zia to say goodbye.

Meanwhile, Diego asked Ramon about their last chat.

"Is what you said true?" he asked. "Those photos are Aileen's doing? And her pregnancy was a lie too?"

Diego had just received news about the abrupt divorce between Aileen and Theodore. What a shame!

Aileen had the surname Tatum behind her, she should have been removed from the family list. And she was only an adopted daughter, how dare she lie to everyone like that?!

Moreover, how dare she attack Zia and humiliate her in public like this?!

"Yes," replied Ramon. "I'll have someone give you the details tomorrow morning, you can check it yourself after that."

Diego rubbed his face roughly, he felt he had aged ten years in the span of a few hours. "That woman is nothing different from a demon."

================   

Aileen was on her way home when she got news that Zia was in the hospital due to a suicide attempt and was now in intensive care.

Instantly Aileen's laughter echoed in the car. Her laughter sounded terrible and cynical.

"Suicide?" Aileen repeated the word she heard from Michael, her confidant.

"Yes, now Mr. Tatum was with her as well as Hailee and her husband. There was another man named Ian who was with them," he reported everything that had happened at the hospital.

"Alright," Aileen nodded with satisfaction. "Report to me when you get more news."

After that the phone was disconnected and Aileen continued laughing to her heart's content. This was the first thing that made her happy today after all the drama that happened.

Especially when she was in a very bad mood after handing over the video evidence of herself and Aidan to Giana. However, the woman had proven that she had managed to buy Tatum shares from several shareholders and the value was quite large combined as well.

"Should I go to the hospital to see her?" Aileen muttered, she tapped her finger on the steering wheel. "Perhaps Zia will die instantly when I do."

The thought of getting rid of people she didn't like really made her heart light.

Aileen then started her car while humming to the rhythm of the music that was playing on the stereo.

Looks like she's going to sleep well tonight...

At least, that was what Aileen had thought, because without her knowing something big was waiting for her at home.

The streets were deserted because it was already night and not many people were passing by.

Therefore, Aileen arrived at the Tatum residence faster. Yes, Aileen returned to live in the house after she was chased away by Rebecca from the Gevano residence.

It was just that there was something odd when she turned her car to enter the yard.

Right in front of the house, someone was burning something. It wasn't something, it was a pile of stuff that was being burned on purpose.

Flames soared high and black smoke rose into the sky.
