Chapter 319: WILL YOU TELL ME?
"Mom, what compelled you to cheat?" Lexus didn\'t even use smooth words when asking this question, because according to him, no matter how beautiful the sentence he was about to put together, in the end the meaning of the question was still very unpleasant to understand.
On the other hand, Lis didn\'t seem to dare to lift her head, she looked at the laptop screen which was still showing the same scene time and again. Lis seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.
However, after a while, Lexus closed the laptop screen and asked the same question again. The question he wanted the answer to from Lis.
"Why did you do that?" Lexus\' soft voice made Lis\'s forehead wrinkle. Her lips trembled from holding back so many intense emotions at a time.
It seemed like Lis was in a situation where she was experiencing a fairly strong mental breakdown.
Retelling all of this didn\'t seem as easy as imagined, although Lis never expected that it would be a smooth sailing, but still she was having a hard time putting together a sentence to begin with.
And even though Ramon had shouldered the difficult part of explaining this to Lexus first, Lis still felt that she wasn\'t ready for all of this.
"You don\'t want to tell me? Should I find out myself and make my own assumptions?" Lexus squinted, he looked tired from all this trouble. "You know how I am, I will think about the worst possible situation."
Lis then turned her gaze to Lexus, her eyes looked tired. "What do you want to know?"
"Everything," Lexus answered quickly. "Also your reason why you did that."
Hadn\'t Lis gotten everything by being together with her husband who was the then Tordoff\'s heir? Money, title, good position, extraordinary status in society, but why did Lis still fall into that illicit affair, humiliating herself like this?
"Because I don\'t like my marriage," Lis replied. She didn\'t know how to explain all this and couldn\'t find a good reason to make Lexus sympathize with her.
Because at this moment, even Lis herself had no sympathy for herself. If she looked back now, she would only find herself so young and stupid and filled with impulsive desires that her husband couldn\'t fulfill.
Yes, Lucas Tordoff, Ramon\'s father, is a very rigid person, who only cares about work and doesn\'t pay much attention to Lis.
Coupled with Lis\'s young age when she married Lucas, where she still wanted to do many things and all of that she couldn\'t do because of her status as the wife of Lucas Tordoff.
Many people would be nice to her and even willing to be her best friend, simply because she was the wife of Tordoff\'s heir and Lucas wasn\'t there to teach her how to deal with people like that.
Lucas is too busy and never there for Lis, but Leon is different…
The closeness between Lis and Leon is not taken seriously by Lucas, because the three of them have a good relationship, it can be said that Leon is also one of the few people who can be close to Lucas\' cold personality.
However, things got messy when Lis and Leon started their secret relationship behind Lucas\'s back.
It was a shameful thing and Lis couldn\'t forgive herself for it, but if time went back and Lis had to make a choice, maybe she would make the same choice.
Because living with Lucas was so exhausting and suffocating while being with Leon gave her a little room to breathe properly.
"You\'re not going to tell me anything?" asked Lexus in a cold voice. He seemed disappointed that Lis refused to speak and he couldn\'t possibly force his own mother. "How long are you going to be like this? Should I ask that person about this?"
"That person?" Liz frowned. "Leon…? Is he here?"
It didn\'t occur to Lis that Ramon was actually holding Leon captive.
"You don\'t need to know," Lexus replied, then he stood up from his chair and walked out. Being in the same room with his mother right now, didn\'t seem very good for his health, both mentally and physically.
While Lis was still contemplating the facts she had just learned.
Leon is in Ramon\'s hands…?
If so, what had his son done to him?
Lis knew very well how cruel Ramon was and even though she had always kept an eye close and let Ramon do what he thought was right in a slightly cruel way, which reminded Lis of Lucas, but that didn\'t mean she was entirely in the dark.
Because of that similarity, Lis seemed a little reluctant to interfere in Ramon\'s business, but after all, he was still her son and Lis couldn\'t help but care.
================
Giana did not immediately enter the room when she heard Aileen\'s terrified screams and preferred to stand where she was with a calculated expression.
"You don\'t want to go inside and see what\'s going on?" Chad asked, trying to understand the meaning of Giana\'s expression. "You might like it. Mr. Long said you\'d like this."
Giana didn\'t respond to Chad\'s words, she focused more on Aileen\'s voice.
It was only after Aileen stopped screaming and the atmosphere in the room calmed down a bit did Giana step inside.
Her heart was telling her that she would find the sight very unpleasant to look at… or maybe it was the other way around?
Giana walked slowly and found Aileen standing, flabbergasted and in a state of shock, staring at something on the floor.
And on the floor, before Aileen feet, Giana could see Hailee, unconscious with her face covered by her long hair, and her body resting on her right side while her arms wrapped around her stomach protectively.
Apparently, Hailee was trying to protect her baby.
"Is… is she… she dead?" asked Aileen, stuttering. She really wanted to kill Hailee, but that didn\'t mean she wanted to see her corpse firsthand.
Aileen didn\'t like seeing anything that was related to the word \'terrible.\' Whatever its cause might be.
"Why don\'t you just check?" Giana asked in a grumbling voice, but if Aileen calmed down a little, then she could see that Hailee was actually still breathing. Her chest was rising and falling in a gentle motion, indicating that she was still breathing.
"Why should I be the one to do it?" growled Aileen, but since Giana had no intention of moving from her position, Aileen had no other choice but to go forward, to check how severe Hailee\'s condition was. "Leon is crazy…" Aileen hissed.
