Chapter 295: NIGHT OF ANNYVERSARY (7)
Marco glanced at his vibrating cell phone, signaling an incoming call from Ramon, then told Ian and the other two to get ready.
The other two pulled out their rifles and quickly got down from the van, heading to their positions, to act as snipers and scouts, in case anyone else came back to the house, because as far as they could see, there were only three people there, including the man smoking on the front porch.
"You\'ve used weapons, haven\'t you?" Marco asked, and handed Ian a handgun. "Just in case."
"I brought my own weapon," Ian said, showing him the knife he had taken from the hospital. "I\'m not very good at this." Ian waved the gun Marco had given him.
"It doesn\'t matter if you\'re not proficient, as long as you can use it, that\'s enough." Marco shrugged nonchalantly, then added, "There\'s only one rule you must obey."
"Hmm?" Ian then put the weapon in his jacket pocket and prepared to get out of the van. "What?"
"Don\'t shoot me," Marco said and this answer made Ian laugh.
"I didn\'t know gunshot wounds are something you\'re afraid of," he mocked.
Marco rolled his eyes. "It hurts my pride if I have to get shot just because of the carelessness of my comrade who can\'t use a weapon."
Ian\'s laughter immediately died down and he grumbled. "It turns out that even talking to his subordinates is really annoying."
================
Aileen couldn\'t say that she was relieved or upset at this time, but for sure, not meeting Hailee at the party organized by the Tordoffs was something she should be grateful for, because Aileen felt that she couldn\'t bear to see the triumphant smile painted on the woman\'s lips.
The original plan of Aileen\'s arrival was to meet Hailee and take her to the place Leon had determined, but unfortunately, after going around and looking for God knows how long, Hailee was nowhere to be seen, even after Ramon came.
And according to the information she got, the wife of Mr. Tordoff did not attend tonight\'s event due to health problems and was expecting their first child.
It was nice to know that Hailee\'s pregnancy wasn\'t going well, but it meant her coming all the way to town A was just a waste trip, especially when she got to meet Giana too.
Maybe Aileen didn\'t think much of this before, but after she surrendered the video of herself and Aidan together, Aileen felt it was a very wrong, very fatal act.
What Aileen did was like someone publicly showing her weakness, and she knew it could be used against her. Now she was regretting it, but what else could Aileen do?
It was just a dream if Aileen thought Giana would give the video back to her and wouldn\'t do anything with it.
How unlucky!
Aileen then grabbed her cell phone and tried to contact Leon, but like the previous few times, the call didn\'t go through. What was that man doing?
================
Ramon didn\'t show any expression on his face when he heard what Leon had just said, although he felt something was really wrong. Like there was something important he was missing. But what?
"What\'s the matter with you wanting to kill me?" asked Ramon. He still wanted to know more about the reason why Leon was so obsessed with the idea of ??getting rid of him.
Now that Ramon took a closer look and came face-to-face with Leon, it was highly likely that the two of them had met before and it wasn\'t a wrong assumption if Ramon said; the accident he had a few months ago was due to Leon\'s interference.
"Have I ever killed someone close to you?" asked Ramon. "Can you tell me who? Because I killed too many people for trying to block my path."
Leon snorted, he didn\'t answer the question right away, and his silence seemed to suggest that Ramon should guess more accurately. His guess was too far off.
"Lexus is your son." It wasn\'t a question, but a statement and how Leon raised his eyebrows, indicating that Ramon\'s answer was now on the right track. "You wanted Lexus to inherit all of Tordoff\'s estate after my death."
"Bingo!" said Leon happily, like a maniac.
"Your thinking is very shallow," Ramon criticized. He snorted as if the answer was too naive to be Leon\'s motivation to kill him. "You think Lexus will side with you and enjoy Tordoff\'s treasure after my death, especially after he finds out you were involved in it?"
"Oh, he can get used to it. It was only a matter of time." Leon shrugged nonchalantly, as if it was not a big deal.
Ramon ignored Leon\'s last comment, and added. "You know what Lexus will do after finding out that you are my killer? He will dismember you and let you live to see the parts of your body being eaten by hungry dogs."
Instantly Leon\'s smile faded, not because of what Ramon said, but how the man said it, as if he was very sure that Lexus would do exactly that.
"Oh, we\'ll see," Leon growled. "After all, I am his father."
Ramon stood up from his chair. "If you\'re really sure he won\'t mind it just because you\'re his father, then I think Lexus should know that you\'re his real father now. The only reason why you haven\'t told him is because you\'re not sure of what you\'re saying." Ramon walked toward the door and smirked. "You don\'t know Lexus as much as I do."
Of course Ramon knew Lexus better, they had spent their whole lives together and Ramon was very good at judging a person\'s character.
Although Lexus always seemed cheerful and gave the feeling easy to be handled, that type of person would become a lot more terrible when you cross their temper. That\'s what Lexus is like...
So, it could be said that what Ramon said just now, was not an exaggeration.
"Since you\'ve come here, then you won\'t leave this place until I let you go. There\'s a lot we need to talk about, but before that there\'s a party I need to attend first."
No, Ramon won\'t be attending any party tonight. He\'ll be home soon, because he doesn\'t feel well. His instincts told him he shouldn\'t be here…
"You think you can just hold me captive?" Leon then grabbed his cell phone and dialed someone quickly. "Now," he said.
