Choose wisely.
Those were the words Ramon said before he turned around and entered the house, leaving Margaretha alone where she had been standing, frozen.
It was unknown how long Margaretha stood there, but she only realized when her assistant approached and asked what was wrong, only then did Margaretha get into the car but she remained silent the whole way back to her store.
She even canceled her meeting with her friend. There was no way she would meet anyone else under these conditions. She needed some time alone, to think about this matter properly.
Margaretha knew Ramon well and she knew he wasn't the type to just threaten without actually intending to do what he said.
Therefore, when Ramon said he would let the media know about Willy, Margaretha was fully aware that Ramon wasn't playing with his words.
But how did Ramon know about Willy? And how did he find out about the relationship between Lis and Leon? Should Margaretha tell Lis about this first? However, Lis was very difficult to contact and again, Margaretha didn't want to take any rash action regarding this issue.
It went without saying that this matter should be left as a secret…
Choose wisely…
Ramon's cold words resonated in Margaretha's ears and his piercing gaze seemed to warn her sternly that she should not think about messing with the situation.

Ramon returned to his room to meet Hailee with a mango that had been cut into pieces.
Lately, Hailee was eating this fruit more and it had not gone unnoticed by Ramon.
When he opened the door to his room, Ramon thought Hailee was watching television, but when he looked closely, it turned out that it wasn't a scene from a drama, but a CCTV footage that Hailee's bodyguard managed to secure the day she visited Aileen to give an invitation.
On the screen, Ramon could watch how Aileen dropped herself without any hesitation.
Ramon frowned, not liking the scene, not because Aileen fell, but it could be Hailee who fell down the stairs instead.
Hailee then shifted it to the CCTV footage on the ground floor of the building which showed Aileen wincing in pain in a sitting position on the floor.
"What do you think is strange?" Hailee asked, pausing the picture. There, Aileen was raising her head, she was looking at Hailee who was going down the stairs.
Ramon then sat on their bed, next to Hailee before handing her a piece of mango, which Hailee devoured immediately.
"Thank you," Hailee said sweetly while landing a kiss on Ramon's cheek. "So, what do you find strange?"
"She didn't try to protect her stomach when she fell," replied Ramon.
"So it's true!" Hailee clapped her hands happily. This was one of the advantages of talking to smart people, you didn't have to give a lot of explanations. "Aileen should have instinctively protected her stomach when she fell, since she was pregnant, unless she really wanted to lose the baby."
"That's right," said Ramon as he brought another piece of fruit to Hailee's lips, which she happily ate, even though his wife was vehemently discussing strange things about Aileen. "Or maybe it's because she's not pregnant to begin with."
"Hmm?" Hailee tilted her head. "You mean she was just pretending to be one?"
"Didn't you tell yourself that Theodore's parents didn't approve of their relationship?" Ramon reminded her. "But, for a family with a status like the Gevano family, of course their flesh and blood is much more important."
Hailee chewed the fruit slowly while she was thinking and when she swallowed it she started to speak slowly. "You mean Aileen pretended to be pregnant to be able to marry into the Gevano family?"
"That's just my assumption," said Ramon casually, smiling slightly when he saw his wife thinking and considering the clue he gave seriously.
Hailee looked sexy when she was thinking like this, so Ramon couldn't stop himself from kissing her lips.
"Hey! Do not bother me! I'm thinking seriously," Hailee protested while trying to stop Ramon, but a smile was still on the corner of the man's lips.
"I didn't stop you from thinking. You don't think with your lips, do you?" Ramon defended himself, he then put a piece of fruit into Hailee's mouth quickly before his wife protested.
With a grunt, Hailee ate the fruit while picking up her cellphone which was lying on the table, beside the bed.
"Zia," Hailee greeted. She called her cousin and exchanged pleasantries just before Hailee asked the question she really wanted to ask. The original purpose of calling Zia. "Is there any important news that I don't know about?" she asked.
"What important news?" asked Zia from across the line.
"I don't know, maybe the news about you has decided to end your relationship with that bastard man." Hailee could hear Zia coughing in surprise and at the same time Ramon tapped her head lightly, as a warning. How could she curse being pregnant like that?
Oops! Hailee forgot because she was really pissed off…
"Hailee… I told you, I'll think about this… things aren't that easy, and again…" Zia tried to explain frantically.
"Or maybe news from Aileen?" Hailee asked, ignoring Zia's protests altogether.
"Aileen? I haven't heard anything from her other than news about her currently living at Theodore's residence," Zia replied immediately, grateful that Hailee had changed the subject.
Hailee then asked some light questions before she finally hung up the call.
"No news about Aileen…" Hailee muttered. "Could it be that her womb was okay even after falling down all those stairs?" Hailee looked at Ramon. Could it be that what he said was true? That Aileen was just pretending.
"What you think?" asked Ramon, smiling, handing her the last piece of mango. "Why not just let the Gevano family check the truth?"
Hailee blinked her eyes, digesting what Ramon meant, before finally a smile spread across her lips.
"You're a genius!" Hailee exclaimed happily. "I did not choose the wrong husband!"
