Chapter 256: COMPLICATED SITUATION
The news about the divorce between Aidan and Giana still continued to dominate the mass media and it seemed that the hype would not tone down for a long time, because the public\'s enthusiasm was getting crazier when the evidence of Aidan\'s affair saw the light slowly but gradually.
Of course, all of this was the result of Aileen and Giana\'s hard work. They both played their cards really well.
Giana did not reveal who the woman had been Aidan\'s cheating partner since the beginning of their marriage immediately, but released the information little by little, which actually piqued the curiosity of many people.
And when the buzz about this divorce had subsided a bit, then Giana would release another piece of juicy information again regarding other things related to Aidan\'s affair, as if to prevent the public from forgetting about how big of a jerk this man was.
All the pressure and stress that Aidan had to face on a daily basis really made it difficult for him to control his emotions and made everything he handled messy.
Not only did he have to think about his now tarnished reputation, but also the protests from the shareholders, who were increasingly dissatisfied with his work performance.
Coupled with the insistence of his father who forced him to reveal who the woman was.
Of course Aidan wouldn\'t say anything, because he knew what manipulations and dirty tricks his father would resort to if he found out about this.
But, on the other hand, Aidan knew that this secret could not remain as a secret any longer, because there would be a time when Giana would come forward to announce it eventually and it would be a strong blow for Aidan.
Not to mention about Zia. The woman looked increasingly scared to be near him and tried to cut off all ties with him.
Zia always said that Aidan should take care of the problem until it was settled first, then they could talk about their relationship, but right now Aidan needed someone to share his thoughts with and Zia was not willing to be by his side.
Zia\'s decision was understandable, it was just that Aidan wasn\'t in a state where he wanted to understand other people.
"I can\'t meet you Aidan, the situation is too dangerous," Zia refused Aidan\'s request to meet him again. Just this afternoon, news about Aidan\'s mistress was released again and there they included her initials.
The source of the news was kept secret, but Zia didn\'t have to think hard to figure out where the news came from. So that was why she saw Giana and Aileen together at Aileen and Theodore\'s wedding? Are they in cahoots now?
This was a living nightmare for Zia. If only Giana came to her and scolded her for approaching her husband, then Zia could accept that, but to be involved in the intrigue and chaos of the dispute between Aidan and Giana involving the mass media, of course this had never occurred to Zia, not even in her worst imagination.
After hearing Zia\'s repeated refusals, Aidan finally hung up without saying anything else. He was too angry to think about anything else.
Even at this late hour, Aidan was still in his office, feeling lost.
His head throbbed painfully every time he thought about the problems he had to deal with and it was all because of Aileen.
It was that b*tch who messed up all his plans. But of course Aidan\'s stupidity that night was the beginning of the complicated problems he had to face.
Aidan then opened his cellphone contacts and dialed Aileen\'s number...
================
The servants at the Tatum household were astonished to see Aileen coming home with several suitcases of clothes without being accompanied by Theodore, but they wouldn\'t dare to ask her outright.
It was Aileen\'s horrible facial expression that made the maids say nothing and act like normal.
After being chased out of the Gevano family residence, Aileen returned to the Tatum family residence, the house that became Hailee\'s inheritance, but still Aileen returned there. Because in this house, she felt more familiar than the house she had inherited, or her own apartment.
For a moment, Aileen stared at the big house that felt empty and cold, then re-imagined the atmosphere of this house a year ago.
This house was so lively when both Hailee\'s parents were alive and the four of them lived together. The sound of the television broadcasting the news that was watched by her father or the voice of her mother chatting with the servants while attending to flowers, one of her hobbies that father thought was a waste of time.
Within a year, everything changed…
And now Aileen was standing here alone with problems that were piling up and getting more complicated, but no matter what she felt now, even deep regret would not bring things back.
Therefore, the only thing she could do was step forward and finish what she had started.
That day, Aileen spent the whole day shutting herself in her room and sleeping, because that was the only way she could get a break from her hectic life.
Aileen fell asleep so soundly that the sound of the phone ringing woke her up.
Giana.
Aileen looked at the analog clock on her cellphone which was already showing late at night, then what did this woman want by calling her this late?
"You know what time it is?" Aileen grumbled in a hoarse voice. There was no \'hello\' or \'hi\' when they started talking.
"Send the rest of the evidence now," Giana said in a calm voice. She still sounded like someone ready to work twenty-four hours for seven whole days.
"I won\'t send anything until you keep your promise," Aileen said in a hoarse voice. She hugged her blanket again and was getting ready to go back to sleep when Giana continued her sentence.
"Mr. Arshen has agreed to sell his shares to me," Gian told Aileen which suddenly made the woman open her eyes. "I just need to convince one more person. Now send the rest of the evidence along with your video with Aidan."
"I\'m not sending the video." That was the last card that Aileen would use if one day she needed Aidan.
"Then the agreement between us is cancelled."
