Chapter 344: A SMILE
Hailee was riled up the moment she found out that Ramon had brought her to the house where he and Giana frequented together.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Ramon didn\'t think so at first. He just didn\'t want to have any secrets with Hailee, but his decision proved to be a little wrong…
Maybe it\'s not the right time to invite Hailee to this part of his life. Ramon should have thought about that aspect more.
However, even though Ramon was proficient in plotting and using every loophole he could think of to bring down his enemies, but in terms of sensitivity, it seemed he still had a lot to learn because his decision this time didn\'t please Hailee at all.
His wife glared at him, and only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.
"Barry! Remind me to burn this house down before we leave!" Hailee said to Barry while throwing a fierce look at her husband. She even looked sullen when Ramon lowered his head and kissed her forehead in front of the many bodyguards who were there.
It was a shame they had to be attacked like this.
"I\'ll just take one thing, after that, we\'ll be out of here." However, since Hailee\'s facial expression didn\'t soften, Ramon added again. "You are free to do whatever you want with this place. I don\'t mind if you burn it either."
But, even after Ramon said that, Hailee was still grumbling.
Because that\'s not what Hailee wanted. She didn\'t really want to burn this place down, of course it was just a casual remark, but she was just annoyed that Ramon was insensitive and took her with him, but on the other hand, if she wasn\'t invited, Hailee would be pissed too.
And now Hailee was upset because she was upset and couldn\'t find a solution for it.
Ugh! Sometimes what she wants is so confusing, even to herself.
Hailee then hooked her hand on Ramon\'s arm and said quietly, half muttering, "I\'ll go with you. What are you going to take?"
Ramon, of course, would have granted the request without saying much. Anything to pull his wife out of her bad mood…
"I seem to remember that I have documents in one of the rooms in this house," said Ramon. He then helped Hailee walk up the dusty stairs, where the dust made Hailee cough a little. "You can wait in the car…"
However, receiving one fierce look from Hailee, Ramon immediately understood what her decision would be.
"What important document do you want to retrieve?" Hailee asked curiously as they entered a room that seemed to be Ramon\'s study.
Hm, even in this house that he doesn\'t live in regularly, Ramon has his own study…
"It\'s a document regarding the organization as well as the illegal business run by Leon Dawson," replied Ramon in a low voice. He then walked to the table and opened all the drawers. "I don\'t really remember what the document held, but I thought it was important and would be helpful."
Hailee then looked around the room while Ramon looked for the document by opening all the drawers there.
"Did you find it?" Hailee asked after she saw Ramon just standing behind the desk and staring blankly at the pile of old, unused papers.
"I feel like I kept it in this room, but I can\'t find it," said Ramon. "Or maybe it was in that room…"
Hailee tilted her head. "What room?"
Ramon then looked doubtful as he looked at Hailee again. He felt like he was someone who had been caught cheating and felt bad about it.
Despite the fact that he was with Giana before he even knew Hailee.
"I think you should wait downstairs," Ramon suggested.
That room…
Hailee thought and connected the words \'that room\' with Ramon\'s attitude now, and it wasn\'t hard to connect the two dots.
"I\'m coming," Hailee said firmly. She then took Ramon\'s hand and looked back at him fiercely. "I also want to see \'that room\'."
Hailee emphasized the phrase \'that room\' in her voice, and didn\'t give Ramon a chance to refuse.

Candice really couldn\'t understand what misfortune had fallen on her that she had to save Lexus Tordoff from being chased by reporters while the man was so drunk she couldn\'t even communicate properly with him.
"Hey, where do you want me to take you?" Candice asked impatiently. She had now stopped to refuel her car after successfully escaping the pursuit of the terrible journalists. "To the Tordoff residence?" Candice asked again.
But, Lexus shook his head vigorously. This was the gesture he gave to every question Candice asked him and this really made the girl feel frustrated.
"Ugh! If only beating someone didn\'t make me a criminal, then you would be the first to feel my anger!" Candice grumbled.
The girl then got out of the car and bought a drink. She came back shortly after but then she got really angry when she found that the car door was locked from the inside.
Somehow the drunk man managed to lock the car door.
"Hey! Lexus! Open the door!" Candice cried, banging on the windshield near Lexus\' seat, but the man only opened his eyes for a moment then looked at Candice with a furrowed brow.
Not only that, Lexus even waved his hand, making a gesture to shoo Candice away from him.
Seriously!? This man was a complete curse to Candice and a real pain in the ass!
"Hey, open the door!"
"Noisy..." Lexus grumbled as he closed his eyes again and leaned his body against the back of the car seat, trying to sleep.
"Hey, don\'t sleep! Lexus Tordoff! Hey!"

And it was true that the document Ramon was looking for was in the bedroom on the second floor. But finding that important document didn\'t make him feel any better.
"So this is where you spend your nights with Giana?" Hailee said in an annoyed tone. The expression on her husband\'s face even confirmed it.
"Hailee… you don\'t need to be so defensive… you know what the real story is…" Ramon said softly.
Of course Hailee knew it, but knowing it didn\'t make Hailee feel any better.
"I\'m not defensive, I\'m fine. Can\'t you see my smile?"
And it was the most terrifying smile Ramon had ever seen…
