It was impossible for Hailee to wait until tomorrow after what Ramon had said just now while they were in their quiet bedroom.
Thus, here was Hailee now, sitting in Ramon's study while holding several reports telling her some of the important information that Ramon's men had gathered, with an unreadable expression on her face.
"Aileen and George did it," Ramon concluded when Hailee reached the end of the report.
However, even to the very end, Hailee still refused to say a word. She was extremely silent as her mind was filled with the new information she was able to get her hands on.
All of this was so shocking to Hailee that she was at a loss for words and unable to properly digest everything she just came to know.
All of this important information made Hailee feel very stifled. She didn't know where to start thinking about all this.
The fact that the deaths of her parents was a plot carried out by Aileen and George or the fact that Aileen was actually George Tatum's biological child.
Yes, Ramon managed to get the relevant evidence and now Hailee knew it as well.
Aileen is a Tatum, the child born out of George Tatum's illicit relationship with a woman whose background was still unknown.
Various feelings were running through Hailee's mind and she couldn't process them properly. She needed some time to understand all of this, because now Hailee felt her world was collapsing right beneath her feet.
What Aileen did to her back at the hotel by selling her to Roland Dimatrio was something she didn't expect at all, but being involved in the murders of her parents was a completely different matter.
Hailee might be able to understand why Aileen hated her or even envied her, but what wrong had her parents have ever done to her? Didn't her mother and father never even compare the two of them? Wasn't Aileen treated so well and given whatever Hailee got? Then what went wrong?
Hailee couldn't help but feel her brain stop working which left her with innumerable unanswered but new questions.
At this point, Hailee might not even have noticed her ragged breathing and her trembling hands that were holding the reports, but Ramon noticed it and swiftly pushed aside the files filled with all evidences, turned the chair Hailee was sitting on and knelt before his wife.
"Hailee," Ramon called softly. His hand reached out to cup the face of the woman in front of him who looked pale, as if blood was leaving her veins. Hailee's skin felt cold when Ramon touched her and this worried him greatly. "Talk to me."
Meanwhile, Hailee turned her attention and looked deeply into Ramon's eyes, her breathing still ragged and she didn't know what to think now.
This is a time when you have a lot to say, but there isn't a single word you can think of saying, as if you've magically lost the ability to speak.
"Hailee, say something," Ramon said again, this time he could feel a deep sense of concern for his wife's reaction. "Speak."
Hailee's lips trembled, she was about to speak, but no words came out, not even a tear rolled down her cheek. The shock Hailee received seemed so great and Ramon was a little sorry for having to tell her about this all of a sudden.
"What do you want?" asked Ramon again at last as thick silence started surrounding them. "Tell me what you want to do?"
Ramon could feel the feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and anger that Hailee was trying to suppress, but what Hailee was actually feeling was much more complicated than that.
And Ramon was willing to do anything to make Hailee feel even a little better.
"Tell me what you want to do?" Ramon asked again. He stroked Hailee's pale cheek and kissed her forehead gently, but this didn't make Hailee respond to what he was doing, because the woman was still frozen, deep in thought… "You want to report this?"
Yes, with the evidence in their hands and the vast influence of the Tordoff family, that was more than enough to report Aileen and George's actions and put them behind bars for a long time.
But…
Is that what Hailee wanted?
What does she want…?
What?
Ramon's question echoed in Hailee's head, she was now asking herself the same thing.
What does she want to do after learning about the brutal and immoral actions of her uncle and adoptive sister?
"I want them to suffer," she said in a trembling whisper. "I want them to suffer a lot more. I want them to regret their very lives."
"You want to sue them? Bring this case to court?" Ramon asked patiently. At this point, he felt that he would do anything for Hailee. If it was the legal route that his wife wanted, then he would have won it and wouldn't let Aileen or George go free after what they had done.
However, Hailee didn't answer right away.
Jail?
Could it make up to what Aileen and George had done to her? Would they suffer from being imprisoned? Yes, they would suffer. Destroyed reputations and snatched freedoms.
But, Hailee didn't want that kind of suffering for them to experience. The suffering in prison was too light. Having their freedom taken away? Seriously… the two of them had teamed up to kill her parents. Only their freedom being taken away and their reputation being destroyed would not be able to make up to what they had done.
No.
Hailee wanted more. She wanted them to suffer more than that.
And that's when Ramon could see the change in Hailee. Something was growing inside of her that made this woman look worthy of attention, but Ramon knew that he wasn't the one who had to anticipate Hailee's wrath…
"No," Hailee finally spoke, she shook her head and looked at Ramon with a look the man had never seen before. An unwavering determination."I won't report them. No, it's not time for that yet."
Ramon then grabbed Hailee's hand which was still shaking. "Then, what action are you going to take?"
Hailee closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I need some alone time, can you leave me alone for a while?"
It was impossible for Hailee to wait until tomorrow after what Ramon had said just now while they were in their quiet bedroom.
