Hailee didn't think that Alex would do this to her at all, how could she? He was so brave enough to pull Hailee into the car when she just got out of the cafeteria to find Ramon.
Even more unlucky for Hailee was; because at the time of the incident, for some reason the situation around the cafeteria was quiet and there were not many visitors, as a result, no one saw the incident.
And now, Hailee was sitting in the back seat of a car, flanked by two big men with terrible stature, while Alex was sitting in the seat next to the driver, so it could be said that there were a total of four men who took Hailee away from city A.
"Where are we going?" Hailee asked for the umpteenth time. "Are you going to take me to that old district attorney?" Hailee didn't even hide the scorn in her voice.
Because the bag she was carrying was confiscated by Alex, Hailee couldn't contact anyone, be it Ramon or Ian, to ask for help.
This time, Hailee really had to think of a way to escape them.
"Listen," Hailee said in an irritated tone. "You do not know who I am?"
Still no answer.
"Me and Ramon Tordoff are getting married soon, do you think someone like Ramon Tordoff will just let you go? This is kidnapping! Ramon will be furious if he finds out about this!" Hailee almost screamed out of frustration, but they didn't budge. Didn't heed her threat at all.
Still no answer from them.
In the end, Hailee decided to save her energy and think more calmly. If they were going to bring her to Roland Dimatrio again, then Hailee would have to think about what the old man might do to her while looking for a way to contact Ramon.
Hailee had tried to snatch her bag back from Alex, but it was a futile effort and in her current position it was impossible to do so.
"If something happened to me, Ramon wouldn't just sit there doing nothing." Hailee was still trying to throw her final threat, to which the four men responded coldly.
They heard the news that Hailee was indeed going to marry Ramon, but knowing this, Roland did not give up on getting Hailee at all, which meant the district attorney had thought of all the possibilities that would happen, right?
==============
Hailee's body felt numb and sore when they finally arrived at one of the mansions dominated by pale yellow with two luxury cars parked in the front yard.
One of the cars, Hailee recognized as Aileen's car, her 'beloved' half-sister.
Just looking at the car and knowing that Aileen was there, made Hailee's blood boil with rage.
Aileen was a living example of an ungrateful person. It was Hailee's parents who adopted her from the orphanage and looked after her like their own child.
Even Hailee's parents were kind and never used violence when scolding them both.
But, how could this be the repayment Aileen was giving her? After her parents died, Aileen took over the company with the help of her father's younger brother and sold Hailee to this immoral middle-aged man.
Really extraordinary, right?
She was just like an animal that bites the hand that feeds it, Aileen fit into that category ever so effortlessly.
"Get out," said Alex in a slightly harsh tone. He was still holding Hailee's bag while opening the door for her.
They were already in this house, so there was no point in Hailee trying to run outside. It was just an effort that wasn't going to pay off, moreover, there was something Hailee wanted to ask Aileen directly.
Unexpectedly, Hailee got out of the car obediently and walked into the house without any coercion from Alex or the other three people.
This was enough to startle Alex, but also not to let his guard down. This girl was so unpredictable.
Hailee entered the house with a flat face that didn't show any expression, making it hard to tell what was inside her head.
Meanwhile, Alex led Hailee through the hallway filled with antique furniture and beautiful chandeliers, into another room, until they reached the backyard, where Hailee could see Aileen sitting and chatting with Roland Dimatrio.
Even at this point, Hailee still didn't show any emotion seeing these two people.
"Hailee, we finally meet again." Those were the greetings Roland Dimatrio gave her as soon as Hailee's figure caught his eye.
On the other hand, seeing the person awaited had arrived, Aileen turned her body gracefully and stood up to see Hailee, who was being escorted by four men.
"Hello, Lee…" Aileen said, waving her hand at Hailee in a friendly manner, as if they were close friends who haven't seen each other for a really long time. "Finally I saw you again."
However, instead of answering Roland's or Aileen's greetings, Hailee walked straight toward them and unexpectedly, she hit Aileen's face with all her might so that she could very clearly hear the sound of it.
They were all shocked at what Hailee suddenly did and didn't have time to avoid this incident.
Meanwhile, Aileen screamed in pain and fell to the ground holding her excruciatingly sore cheek, screaming and swearing all the harsh words she knew.
However, wagging her hand casually which felt numb after hitting Aileen, Hailee laughed softly while saying sweetly, "Hello Aileen, finally I see you again."
"YOU B*TCH!" Aileen roared, but the movement of her mouth only made her jaw hurt even more, she felt as if her head split in half when Hailee hit her.
"If I'm a b*tch, then what do you call yourself?" Hailee asked calmly.
At that moment, Alex grabbed Hailee and pushed her away from Aileen and Roland, who came to help Aileen up. The woman was furious for being humiliated by Hailee.
"Why? You don't like seeing me? What about Theo? Did you enjoy your time together with my ex-fiancé?" Hailee asked in a mocking tone. However, Alex had her arms locked behind her back, so that she would no longer be able to slap Aileen.
And this opportunity was what Aileen used to repay what Hailee did to her earlier.
Hailee didn't think that Alex would do this to her at all, how could she? He was so brave enough to pull Hailee into the car when she just got out of the cafeteria to find Ramon.
