Giana got a call from Chad, one of Leon's confidants, to go with Leon's men somewhere.
Therefore, Giana's plan to return home with Dillon after the power return did not happen and Dillon left alone, while Giana went with Leon's men to the place Chad told her.
At first Giana did not suspect anything, she was just curious about what Leon would tell her.
Because they haven't been communicating well for the past few months and Leon only contacted her again after the divorce issue between her and Aidan surfaced in the media, especially when Giana took over the Dawson family company.
Apart from Dillon, Giana also needed other advice from someone she could trust and that person is of course Leon.
However, Giana had absolutely no idea what Leon was going to tell her tonight. Didn't they meet at the party? Then why did Leon actually ask her to go to one of his houses just to talk to him?
Giana's confusion only increased when she met Hailee and Aileen. What is happening here?
"So you're behind all this?" Hailee asked Giana, interrupting her thoughts. Because compared to Aileen, Hailee was more inclined to the idea of Giana being the mastermind behind the kidnapping. Because after all the woman is smarter and cunning than her adopted sister.
"Oh, don't be too emotional," said Giana, waving her hand. Even though she didn't know what was going on here, she wouldn't allow Hailee to talk as she pleased. "I don't even know anything about this."
Hailee snorted when she heard Giana's answer, she hugged her body, but it was just an instinct to protect her baby. "So I can assume that you don't actually know anything about the gunfire that took place at the Tordoff residence?" Hailee said those words in a scornful tone and paid close attention to the slightest changes in Giana's expression.
Advertisements"The gunfire at the Tordoff residence?" Gianna frowned. She didn't know that at all and Hailee could see that her surprise wasn't a pretense.
"Yes," Hailee replied curtly. "The gunfire at the Tordoff residence." Hailee repeated the sentence so that Giana could talk more about it and let out any information about the attack that happened a few hours ago.
"Honestly, I don't know anything about the attack you're referring to, because I was at a party," Giana then added in a meaningful tone, as if her words had hidden meaning. "Together with Ramon."
Even though Giana still didn't understand this situation, she wouldn't miss the chance to provoke Hailee and was a little happy that they met in this place.
However, the image of Ramon pointing a gun to her head and intending to kill her, still disturbed Giana very much...
"Together with Ramon?" Hailee raised her eyebrows, then she added. "And hundreds of others, you mean?" Hailee didn't even mask the mocking tone of her sentence and didn't hold back her laughter at all. "You're really funny, Giana."
Hearing how Hailee made fun of Giana, which was something funny even to Aileen, made the woman couldn't help but snicker and laugh as well, which she disguised as a cough when Giana looked at her sharply and coldly.
However, Hailee's laughter suddenly seized and her facial expression turned serious in less than a second. "Stop admiring my husband, so stop thinking you can get him," Hailee said sarcastically and loudly.
"He was mine before he met you," Giana growled. She didn't accept what Hailee said and still couldn't accept the reality in front of her eyes.
It seemed, Giana's love for Ramon, mixed with regret for what she should have done in the past, made her obsessed with him.
Yes, it's no longer a matter of who owns who, but Giana has gone a step further than that and has made Ramon her obsession.
She also wanted to see Hailee suffer from losing Ramon.
The sight would be a pleasure to behold…
"Then, does he want you now?" Hailee asked as she tilted her head and looked at Giana with condescending eyes.

Lexus immediately approached Ramon who was talking to the invited guests at the end of the event, after which he would deliver a closing speech.
So, before Lexus could get the explanation he wanted, he had to wait for Ramon to, formally, end the evening's event with a few closing sentences.
Even in his ending speech, Lexus could see that Ramon couldn't wait to finish his closing remarks and make his sentences as short and effective as possible.
Less than a minute later, Ramon had finished and thanked the guests present, after which he got off the stage and immediately approached Lexus.
"Ramon…" Lexus hadn't had time to finish his sentence before Ramon had cut him off.
"Follow me," he said with a stiff facial expression, while walking past Lexus, he didn't even slow down for a second.
Even the people around Ramon could sense the cold aura he was emitting. A dangerous feeling, as though if they made the slightest mistake, their lives would end up in the hands of the Tordoff heir.
On the other hand, without being reminded twice, Lexus immediately followed Ramon, trailing behind his brother like he did all along.
Of course he would go wherever Ramon took him.
================
Ramon stopped the car he was driving in a secluded place near the lake, a place that looked beautiful and natural with some decently large trees shading the ground.
Only, because it was nighttime, and the lighting wasn't very good, the place reminded Lexus of a murder scene in one of the movies he watched with Hailee.
Advertisements"Why are we here?" asked Lexus, he then looked at Ramon who had just turned off the car engine, while his four cars of bodyguards had stopped a bit far from where they stopped. "You're making me nervous. Can't we find a place that has a little more lighting?"
Ramon ignored the joke Lexus was trying to make, instead he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Ramon needed a little fresh air to clear his head, because what he was about to say next would be a shocking thing to Lexus.
"Ramon, what's wrong?" asked Lexus, following his brother out of the car. "Is there a problem?"
"Yes," replied Ramon. "Hailee is kidnapped."
