Chapter 354: DAMN YOU HAILEE!
Sometimes you have to give people a taste of their own medicine.
-unknown-
==============
Aileen had been confined to this small and ugly room ever since Giana had dropped her off on the street and left her alone. That was several days ago.
Fear and paranoia began to haunt Aileen because she had to run from Ramon. This went without saying. And it didn\'t take a genius to know that she wouldn\'t be able to escape Ramon\'s grasp just like that. Gaining forgiveness from such a man was an almost impossible feat for Aileen to achieve.
Especially Hailee.
Hailee would never forgive her.
Aileen still remembered how Hailee looked at her full of anger and hatred. The look in her cold and angry eyes even haunted her in her sleep.
There was nothing more terrifying than that...
You could say this was the lowest point of Aileen\'s life. She had never imagined that she would be reduced to staying in such a small and shabby room, sitting in a corner, frightened and paranoid.
Even to go out and look for food, Aileen felt someone was watching her. But, something even more pressing issue here was; she will soon run out of money.
Alieen had called George a few days ago to ask for money, but her father didn\'t give her a penny and instead lashed out at her for ruining all his plans.
Starting from her marriage to Theodore, which was now on the verge of divorce and also problems with Hailee.
George also blamed her for cooperating with Leon without telling him anything. This was the thing that angered George the most.
He accused Aileen of trying to stab him in the back. Of course that was what she had in mind if all the plans went well, but unfortunately, Aileen actually fell into a situation like this.
Also, Aileen couldn\'t possibly admit outright that she was planning to stab George in the back just like that.
Damn it!
She felt she had hit a dead end and blamed Hailee for all the misfortune that had befallen her. It made her feel much better.
"I should have just killed her! She should be dead! She should be dead! Stupid Giana. She should have killed Hailee. If Hailee was dead, Ramon Tordoff wouldn\'t have known of my involvement."
Regret of having made the same mistake again, continued to eat away at Aileen\'s heart. She couldn\'t help but curse her own stupidity.
She should have snatched the guard\'s gun and shot Hailee when she had the chance...
Or even killing Hailee instead of handing her over to Roland Dimatrio seemed wiser. She wouldn\'t be where she was now and Tatum\'s company would be in her hands by now.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid…" muttered Aileen, while rocking her body back and forth as her hands gripped her hair tightly.
Aileen didn\'t want to be caught and imprisoned. She couldn\'t imagine what her life would be like when she was sent to prison. She is still young and there is only so much she can do.
Aileen didn\'t want to waste the golden years of her life behind bars.
"Argh!" Aileen roared loudly again as she thought about the possibilities of what would happen to her later, and all those scenarios were not pleasant things for her in anyway.
Aileen felt that she would go crazy if she continued like this.
================
Hailee walked through a narrow alley that could not be passed by cars, with Pyro on her right and Barry on her left, while other bodyguards walked in front and behind Hailee.
For a moment, Hailee felt this was too much and she was attracting unnecessary attention, but then she remembered that her safety came first, hence, she didn\'t complain or ask them to back off.
After all, there was no telling what would await her in a strange place she was unfamiliar with.
Maybe it was a post-traumatic feeling because of what had happened to her, but Hailee felt a little uncomfortable when she was in an unfamiliar place, around strangers.
The place Hailee walking down was a rundown alley, where shabby apartments were on her left and right.
The apartments were not very high and the paint on their walls was almost faded.
"Are you sure that Aileen is in a place like this?" Hailee asked Pyro to confirm. She couldn\'t imagine having to live in a place like this, where the sound of small children crying came echoing from the small balconies of every flat. Or the sound of people cursing and violently slamming doors.
Even Hailee herself wouldn\'t have chosen a place like this to stay, let alone Aileen who was always arrogant and full of herself…
It seemed that this was the karma that Aileen started to gain after what she did. However, it was still far from what Hailee had planned for her later...
"Yes, I saw it myself, Aileen entered one of the apartments in this place," answered Pyro confidently. He then pointed to a dull red apartment building, where the paint had been peeled off here and there. "She lives in one of the flats in that building."
Hailee\'s arrival was an unusual sight that people started whispering and came out onto the street to see her.
Of course, no one dared to approach Hailee because of the entourage that surrounded her. Meanwhile, since they were ordinary people who had never really cared about the business media covering Ramon, it was harmless to say that they couldn\'t recognize Hailee.
While people who have seen her before couldn\'t believe it was Hailee Tordoff herself. What was that high-class woman going to do in a slum like this?
Some people started whispering and pointing silently at Hailee, too afraid to deal with people who were full of wealth and high status like Hailee.
"I didn\'t expect her to hide in a place like this…" Hailee mumbled.
"You\'d be even more surprised when you see how she looks now," added Pyro.
"Is that true?" Hailee turned her head, looked at Pyro in disbelief and saw her bodyguard nod excitedly, which made it hard for Hailee to contain her smile and enthusiasm. "I can\'t wait to see her new look then."
Then, after arriving in front of the intended building, Pyro immediately went to the only large table, which seemed to be a receptionist table with a middle-aged woman sitting behind it.
The middle-aged woman looked surprised when she saw Hailee and was even more surprised when she saw the people behind her.
Although Hailee seemed friendly by smiling at the woman, she still looked very surprised and didn\'t smile back at Hailee.
"Here, here is the key." The woman then handed a key to Pyro with trembling hands. "There won\'t be any problems, right?" she asked anxiously.
"Don\'t worry, she\'s the sister of the woman above," Pyro said, calming her down.
She nodded, whether she understood it or not, but she certainly didn\'t want any trouble in this place.
After that, Pyro walked toward the elevator, waiting for the door to open for Hailee.
"What floor is her room on?" Hailee asked Pyro. From the outside, this building looked no more than four floors.
"It\'s on the top floor. Fourth floor," replied Pyro.
"Then we\'ll just use the stairs," said Hailee. She then walked toward the emergency stairs without another word.
The bodyguards who knew the back story as well as Pyro, understood why Hailee didn\'t want to use the elevator. The trauma was still fresh in her mind.
Hailee only found out about this when she was at the Tatum company yesterday, when she went to attend a meeting with other shareholders.
Hailee found it difficult to breathe and her vision turned blurry. She had a panic attack while in the elevator which made her whole body tremble. Sweat dripped from her forehead when she had to go down by using the elevator again because the meeting room was on a high floor.
Understanding what happened to Hailee, the bodyguards didn\'t say anything and immediately walked ahead of her while the others followed behind.
Several bodyguards stand guard in front of the building and lobby.
And when they got to the fourth floor, only Barry, Pyro and two more bodyguards walked into the room, while the others waited outside.
Barry opened the door for Hailee,? Pyro, and the two bodyguards to enter after him.
And when they had just arrived at the door, Hailee could hear Aileen\'s familiar scream.
The scream echoed through the narrow room.
In the next second, Barry immediately moved forward to protect Hailee while Pyro swiftly restrained Aileen, who was trying to run toward Hailee while screaming hysterically.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Hailee clicked her tongue and shook her head when she saw Aileen\'s madness. She didn\'t expect to find her adopted sister in a much worse state than she imagined. "Your room is even smaller than the bathroom at the Tatum residence…"
Hearing that comment, Aileen went crazy, until she needed another bodyguard to help Pyro deal with her.
"You b*tch! Damn you Hailee!" Aileen struggled and spat out the curses she knew. "You should have died! I should have killed you!"
Hailee laughed softly when she heard her. "Yes, you should have done it while you still had the chance, because now I will destroy you."
"You\'re not satisfied to see me in this state?! You really are heartless!"
"Oh, of course it\'s nothing. I haven\'t even started yet." Hailee smirked.
