Chapter 219: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Today was the day Aileen had been waiting for all her life, but not even a smile had appeared on her lips since this morning, because of the huge fight that broke out between her and Theodore last night.
Aileen kept cursing Roland Dimatrio for daring to tell the secret he was supposed to keep. The former district attorney shouldn\'t have said much in his now repudiated position.
But, instead of keeping his mouth shut, he \'sang\' in front of Theodore, telling this man things he shouldn\'t have heard.
So the result of it all was; last night\'s fight, which was completely unavoidable.
She didn\'t know how much Roland Dimatrio told Theodore, but what was certain that the stupid old district attorney didn\'t leave the slightest detail about what happened at the hotel when he was almost killed by Hailee.
Aileen could feel her head throbbing painfully when she had to rack her brains to come up with a plausible reason why she had done that to Hailee.
Theodore lambasted her as an ignorant and ungrateful woman because it was Hailee\'s parents who had cared for and raised her.
Yes, indeed Aileen knew that she was very ungrateful by turning against the family that had accommodated her all this time, but life was not that simple.
Aileen felt it was unfair because Tatum\'s blood flowed in her veins too. She is no stranger. She was also a member of the Tatum family that could be proven by blood, but of course Aileen couldn\'t do that.
Last night\'s fight completely ruined her and this special event. Aileen wasn\'t even feeling like she was going to get married, but was preparing to enter a battle that would never end.
After the five people who helped her get dressed and put on her make-up were done working on her, Aileen asked for some alone time.
She wanted to finish what she started.
"We can talk now," Aileen said when the phone was answered. There was no reply, just a low mumble before the phone line went dead.
And it didn\'t take long before someone opened the dressing room door again without even a knock on the door.
As the door opened, entered a woman who was so elegant, wearing a dark blue dress with accents that were quite high on the left side.
"Congratulations on your marriage," Giana said, as she walked gracefully across the room and sat on the sofa, which was not far from where Aileen was currently sitting.
Through the large mirror in front of her, Aileen could see every move that Giana made, as well as her fake smile.
"Thank you," Aileen replied to Giana with the same fake smile, then she turned around so they could look at each other. "But, I don\'t need those words right now."
A cynical smile appeared on Giana\'s lips when she heard this. It seemed like she could read the situation well, where this marriage was not as beautiful as it looked. "So, what do you need now?" she asked. "I will grant anything as long as you can make me a good offer."
The two women stared at each other for a moment, trying to understand each other\'s character in the very short time after they met.
"I want Tatum Jewelery," Aileen said very plainly. "Can you give me that?"
Her agreement with Aidan was still valid, but the man, as before, was always stalling and not serious in responding to her requests, while Aileen needed tangible evidence to secure her position after Hailee actually took over the company.
Or it could be said, after Ramon took over the company.
For now, Aidan seemed too busy with his own business, regarding the divorce and securing the value of his company stock, not to mention his plans to bring down the Dawson family in order to save his own name.
Then it could be said that Aidan was too difficult to rely on at the moment, or maybe it was his way of buying time, while Aileen didn\'t want to wait any longer.
"Tatum Jewelery?" Gianna raised her eyebrows. Her family company also operated in the same field as the company owned by the Tatum family, so you could say she had sufficient experience to see the potential of the company. "You really are a greedy woman," Giana chuckled with a sneer.
"I don\'t need your compliments," Aileen replied in the same tone.
"I believe that even though you are the adopted sister of this family, it is impossible for them to leave you without an inheritance, but instead you want a company that belongs to their biological child," Giana criticized Aileen\'s ambition.
"You don\'t need to know what my reasons are." Aileen then glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed that the time to talk to Giana was only ten minutes due before the wedding ceremony started. "What I want to know is; can you get what I want?"
Gianna narrowed her eyes. "What will you give me in exchange?" she asked directly.
After all, the two of them weren\'t here to have some small talk, so why should they start now?
"I will tell you about all the evidence of infidelity that your husband did," replied Aileen simply.
And that was exactly what Giana wanted, but of course she wouldn\'t show it in the expression on her face as she snorted nonchalantly, as if the information Aileen had given her wasn\'t enough to win the Tatum Jewelery company for her.
"What do you think is in it for me to get proof of my husband\'s infidelity?" asked Giana.
But, unexpectedly, Aileen laughed quite loudly when she heard the question, as if Giana was too stupid to make such a statement.
"No need to waste my time with your \'don\'t care\' game," said Aileen at the end of her laugh. "You can see how the latest headline I spread on social media made Aidan panic? And how will the public react when they find out more about the news, although the odds are still unclear."
Giana was silent when she heard this. Of course, she realized that much.
"Can you imagine what would happen to the Smiths if you had concrete evidence of your husband\'s infidelity?" A sinister smile tugged at the corners of Aileen\'s lips. "How important the information I hold is, depends on how you process it. No matter how important the information is, it\'s of no use if it is in the hands of a fool, agree?"
