Ian felt like his head was going to explode at the thought of this, on one hand, he knew that it was completely wrong to accept the offer.
No, it was not just wrong.
But if Ian accepted the offer, he knew that if the mission was successful, then he could not forgive himself and would have to live with the consequences for the rest of his life.
That was a terrible thing to imagine.
However, if the mission failed and the mysterious people's plans proved to be ineffective, then he would have to pay for it with his life as well.
Ian wasn't sure someone like Ramon would let him tread freely after what he had tried to do.
And Hailee…
Ian didn't even want to start thinking about what Hailee would think of him. Would she still side with him after knowing this?
No.
Ian did not want to step into such a complicated matter. The offer was a dead end for him, like a death sentence, whether he succeeded or not.
But, what about Ciara?
What should Ian do now?
================
"You don't have to do that you know," Hailee was annoyed that Ramon had increased security around her.
Just four bodyguards took Hailee a long time to get used to, but now Ramon was doubling them? Was he kidding?
"That needs to be done," Ramon responded to Hailee's annoyance casually, he then put food into her mouth to make Hailee stop protesting. This was done continuously until Hailee's tirade didn't drag too long. "In this world of business, I have many enemies and so do you."
Yes, it was undeniable, Aileen and Giana were two special cases that couldn't be ignored. And they've both proven to be able to do whatever they thought they should do even if it was totally out of the line, this had been proven time and time again.
Aileen with the fact that she was involved in the murder of Hailee's parents and also Giana with her madness and obsession with Ramon.
So, if you think about it, actually what Ramon did was not an exaggeration.
Not to mention the addition of enemies from Ramon's side. If they couldn't get Ramon, of course they would try to hurt the people around him and currently Ramon's concentration was only on Hailee and their future child.
Meanwhile, hearing Ramon's reasoning which did make some sense, Hailee fell silent and stopped protesting. She also only realized this after Ramon explained it.
Of course, Hailee didn't want to jeopardize the safety of herself and the baby she was carrying just because she was annoyed with being followed by a few extra bodyguards.
The consequences of her carelessness were simply not worthy.
"Okay," Hailee said quietly, relented to Ramon's wish. "But, I want to give your company anniversary invitation to Aileen in person and I want to meet her myself."
Hailee wouldn't accept the rejection of her one wish and it was evident on her face, but still this didn't stop Ramon from feeling worried.
This was also one of the reasons why Ramon had forbidden Hailee from seeing her family members too often.
Maybe Hailee felt safe with Zia or Diego, or the other cousins, but Ramon didn't know them that well, so this man took all the bad things that could happen to Hailee into consideration and didn't trust them completely.
If Aileen, who was raised by Hailee's parents, could do such a heinous act, what about the other people in her family?
"Why do you have to give it directly? What do you want to tell her?" asked Ramon.
"I don't know, I haven't thought of what to tell her yet," Hailee said quietly and leaned her head on Ramon's shoulder.
The two of them were currently in Ramon's office with lunch in front of them, but neither of them actually had a good appetite.
"I just wanted to see the face of the woman who had the heart to do that to the people who had helped her." Hailee pondered for a moment and hugged Ramon's waist, to which her husband hugged her back gently while stroking her back to soothe her. "I want to see the look on her face when she finds out that I know she's Uncle George's daughter."
Ramon was silent for a moment when he heard that. "Don't provoke her. She can do something unexpected when she feels cornered. That's not a wise thing to do."
Hailee then raised her head and looked at Ramon intensely. "Then, what should I do? Be quiet?"
Ramon then kissed Hailee's forehead gently to appease his wife's anger. "I know you are quite upset and angry about the information you have received, but you should think calmly and thoroughly about what action you are going to take."
"I don't want to think calmly," Hailee grumbled. She wanted them all to suffer for what they had done. "I want them to suffer."
Ramon smiled. He understood what Hailee was feeling. "Then we will make them suffer," he stated.
================
Hailee fell asleep in the spare room in Ramon's office after their lunch and didn't wake up until the evening.
Maybe it was because Hailee was used to looking cheerful, so she wasn't used to showing her sadness, but of course the facts she had just learned had left her very mentally exhausted and this made Ramon worry about Hailee's pregnancy.
Wouldn't the mother's emotional state affect the development of the baby? At least, that was what Ramon read from one of the articles he found.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lexus asked curiously about Ramon's plans regarding the Tatum company.
"It's not me who will do something, but Hailee," said Ramon, he then glanced toward the bedroom door, where Hailee was currently sleeping.
"You know that the steps you take will provoke them, right?" Lexus found out what happened to Hailee's family and this left him fuming with anger, but Ramon warned him not to show it in front of Hailee, because after all, she didn't need another reminder for what happened.
"I've calculated everything," said Ramon firmly.
Ian felt like his head was going to explode at the thought of this, on one hand, he knew that it was completely wrong to accept the offer.
No, it was not just wrong.
