Chapter 316: TRYING TO SURVIVE
"Did you take Lexus to meet him?" asked Lis, instead of answering Ramon\'s question.
For now, she seemed to have lost her ability to analyze the situation and couldn\'t see how her eldest son really didn\'t care about other matters, anything but those related to his wife.
And Lis\' question just now only fueled Ramon\'s emotions even further. He then slammed his hand on the table and made the middle-aged woman in front of him focus on the question he asked.
How could a mother think that; it was a good time to ask something else, which concerned herself rather than worrying about his son\'s wife who was pregnant with their first child?
It made no sense to Ramon at all and now his patience was running out. He didn\'t have time to answer damn questions about Leon and Lexus.
On the other hand, when Ramon slammed his fist against the table, Lis let out a low shriek while Lexus gasped, realizing that his brother was in no good mood to have a civilized conversation. No. He was in such a horrible mood, maybe if he didn\'t remember Lis was their mother, Ramon wouldn\'t even care if she\'s a woman…
"Where is Leon\'s property in town F?" Ramon asked the same question and in the same calm tone, only the look in his eyes couldn\'t possibly fool the emotions that were welling up inside him. He is furious beyond explanation…
The way Ramon looked at Lis was as if a predator was looking at its prey savagely.
"Mom, you have to tell him where Leon lives in F city, does he have a place in F city?" Lexus asked, trying to mediate between the two, a role he rarely played, especially between two people who had very strong characters and were almost always calm in every situation.
Lis looked like a lost person, confused and surprised because she didn\'t expect that Leon would go this far… hadn\'t she said many times that his dream for Lexus didn\'t match their son\'s character at all?
However, Leon didn\'t listen and took it this far.
"Mom, you have to tell me where Leon is hiding Hailee," Lexus persuaded Lis again, who still seemed shaken. Then he looked at Lis\'s laptop screen which was still showing the scene from last night\'s shooting, which was recorded on their home CCTV camera.
In fact, Lexus was stunned to see the scene that was displayed and couldn\'t say anything to justify what Lis said.
If indeed Leon is his father...
An indescribable pain coupled with shame hit Lexus again and he quickly pushed it to the back of his head because this wasn\'t the right time for that.
He would reflect on that later, after Hailee had been found and her safety had been ascertained.
Lexus will have plenty of time to resent that and ask Lis what really happened.
His mother owed him millions of explanations for what she has done...
"Mom!" Lexus shook Lis\'s hand, to get her attention, because he was worried that Ramon would do something crazy if his anger had completely taken over him.
Yes, Ramon is like their father. Both have exploding emotions and possessiveness in common about things.
Even though Lexus knew that Ramon wasn\'t as bad as their father who would throw his fists at anyone who made him angry, but no one could say for sure, because until now no one ever dared to try and test Ramon\'s anger level.
"I… I…" Lis stammered, she felt scared when she saw Ramon looking at her like that. She felt as if her husband had come back and judged her and when Ramon raised his hand to rub his own face roughly, Lis flinched, she thought he was going to hit her.
But no… this is Ramon, not her husband…
"Leon doesn\'t own… any property in city F," Lis said stutteringly, as if to finish the sentence, it would take more energy to do so.
"There is not any?" Lexus felt so stupid. Did he misinterpret it? It seems that he is not as great as he thought… "Are you sure?"
"No..." Lis answered with certainty. She knew almost all of Leon\'s assets as well as the man\'s properties, but she had never heard of Leon having a house or resting place in town F.
Lexus rubbed his face roughly and was frustrated that his help was meaningless. He misinterpreted Leon\'s facial expression…
Should he go there again and interrogate the man?
Actually they could have called Lis to ask about this and not wasted time meeting their mother, however, of course it would be different if they met face to face like this and Lis could see what kind of damage her boyfriend had done…
Hearing that answer, Ramon stepped out of the study, not paying any heed to Lis or Lexus\' calls who were trying to chase after him.
Unfortunately, this time Lexus couldn\'t get into the car in time, because Ramon had driven the car at full speed to quickly leave the Tordoff residence.
"Damn!" cursed Lexus.
=================
Hailee\'s body hit a table corner again with a bang and the things on it fell onto her.
However, she didn\'t try to protect her head, like normally someone who wanted to protect himself, instead, she kept hugging her stomach and felt some intense contractions.
It felt like almost her entire body was numb, except for her stomach which felt like it was being stabbed.
"Stop… please," Hailee whimpered… "Stop…"
The baby…
She doesn\'t want to lose her baby...
No, no… she had to do something.
"Stop?" said Axcel with a triumphant grin. He then crouched right in front of Hailee and lifted the woman\'s face which had turned blue in the corner of her eye, from receiving a blow from him. "Stop you say?"
Hatred welled up in the man\'s heart and he didn\'t hold back at all as he threw a hard slap to the side of Hailee\'s face and made her fall to the ground.
"You didn\'t even stop bothering my family after you tried to kill my father!" exclaimed Axcel. "You actually sent him to prison and ruined my family\'s reputation! Ruined my father\'s career that had been built for years and mine!"
Of course you deserve it!
Hailee screamed inwardly, but it was impossible to say it out loud which would spark another brutal act from this man.
And when Axcel stood up, about to kick Hailee\'s stomach, with the remaining strength she had, she dodged and avoided the kick, while sticking a pen she found in the first room, into Axcel\'s thigh.
