Hailee couldn't believe she was caught in a situation like this again. All this was thanks to Aileen, because that stepsister of hers managed to find someone as persistent and vengeful as Roland Dimatrio.
"If you dare touch me, Ramon won't stay silent!" exclaimed Hailee. She looked around the room and tried to find something she could use as a weapon, unfortunately, she had been searching since she was put in this room and found nothing.
Meanwhile, hearing Hailee's words Roland burst out laughing, he seemed to think Hailee's words were the funniest things he had ever heard in all these days.
"You think you're worthy enough of someone like Ramon?" Roland asked in a mocking tone. He then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a lighter, which he got from a nearby drawer.
Hailee cursed because she didn't go through the drawers. She could have found some scissors, nails, hammer, saw or even a knife there... she thought sarcastically.
"Why don't you try calling Ramon to find out how much I mean to him?" Hailee asked with a worried heart. "He will give you double the money you gave Aileen to get me." Actually, Hailee wasn't sure of this, nor did she know how much money Roland had spent buying Hailee from Aileen.
When Aileen's name flashed in her mind, Hailee couldn't help but grit her teeth and feel her blood boil with anger.
"You? Valuable for Ramon?" asked Roland with a snort, then he sniffed the tobacco he was holding between his fat fingers deeply. "You think I'd believe you?"
"You saw it, didn't you? The sudden press conference that Ramon held a few days ago, which said that we were getting married. You think he doesn't think of me as someone important to him? If I'm not important, you think he wants to marry me?" Under these circumstances, Hailee really wanted to thank and kiss Ramon for announcing their marriage, even though Hailee was against it.
Now, she could see how important that announcement was.
Hold on ...
If at that time Ramon had found out Hailee's real identity and instead announced their marriage in public, wouldn't that mean Ramon already knew about her problem with Roland Dimatrio and wanted to protect her?
Or was she thinking too far?
The thought alone made Hailee feel like a giddy teenager, regardless of her current situation.
"The press conference was just a show, right?" said Roland, asking a rhetorical question to the girl before him.
"You think, someone like Ramon is as easy to trick, just like you who could be fooled around by Aileen?" Hailee asked, feeling satisfied when she saw the tinge of anger that crossed Roland's eyes as she said that. "He loves me, of course he will marry me."
"Don't be kidding," Roland blew white smoke into the air. "You didn't even know each other before the accident, where you lied that you were his fiancé."
Hailee should have anticipated this, not only had Ramon been investigating into her background, but Roland had done the same.
What's with these influential people? Do they really enjoy finding out personal details about other people? Using their power for trivial things like this?
Well, maybe this wasn't as insignificant as Hailee thought ...
