Chapter 389 - ARROGANT
Ramon entered the mall that Hailee had told him and walked toward a boutique where she was now with Zia.
However, when he saw a strange woman standing in front of his wife, it went without saying that Ramon immediately noticed the tense atmosphere around the two of them.
Not only that, Ramon could even see how the woman snorted when she heard his wife speak.
And sure enough, as he walked closer, he could hear a bit of arguing between the two of them before Hailee finally noticed his arrival.
With great speed and her usual spoiled attitude, his wife immediately went over to Ramon and hugged himself regardless of their surroundings.
Not only that, Hailee even said while sulking at him. "Honey, tell her that I\'m your wife. She doesn\'t believe me."
Ramon raised his eyebrows, he didn\'t know where that assumption came from and how could anyone not recognize this beautiful wife of his…
Then, without saying a word, Ramon lowered his head and kissed Hailee\'s lips quickly and deeply. He even pressed Hailee\'s body flushed against his which surprised her because they were in a public place and this kind of scene would look very awkward.
But, a moment later, Hailee changed her mind and she didn\'t seem to care what happened next as she shamelessly returned Ramon\'s kiss.
It was only after they both heard Zia clearing her throat behind Ramon\'s back and Hailee immediately opened her eyes in a bit of panic, she pushed Ramon\'s body away, forgetting her original purpose as to why she approached Ramon.
"Couldn\'t you do it somewhere else?" Zia grumbled, she then turned away to pay for the bag she wanted to buy. "You should have told me about this, Pyro," Zia complained to Hailee\'s bodyguard.
Meanwhile, Pyro could only grimace. If he had known he was going to witness this, he would have preferred to order a coffee and sit back and relax in one of the cafes in the mall, away from the \'loving\' couple.
"So? Is that proof enough?" Ramon asked, not at all concerned with what Zia was complaining about.
"Eh? What?" Hailee already forgot about her original goal. She blinked her eyes in confusion.
Ramon smiled sweetly at his wife and glanced at the woman, whose face was now hard to describe. She looked shocked and stunned by what had happened.
"No, nothing important, let\'s go home," Ramon said as he hugged Hailee.
His wife still looked confused, but she didn\'t remember anything. Either it was because of Ramon\'s intoxicating kiss that Hailee forgot what had just happened, or because she really wasn\'t important, so that part of Hailee\'s brain didn\'t want to store unnecessary memories.
Who knows…
However, when they were about to leave the outlet, they both ran into Theodore and only then did Hailee realize that she had neglected the poor woman.
"Mr. Tordoff, Hailee…" Theodore called out, he looked awkward when he saw Hailee and her husband, especially when the woman immediately walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him.
Although shocked by the kiss scene, she looked much better now that she had Theodore by her side.
"Ah, is this the famous Mr. Tordoff?" the woman asked with a beaming face, she looked so amazed to see Ramon Tordoff up close.
However, neither Ramon nor Hailee had the same enthusiasm, they both looked at each other and smiled lightly.
Maureen then held out her hand to Ramon, intending to shake hands with the number one elite of town A. It was clear from her eyes which gleamed with obsession that Hailee knew so well.
Maureen didn\'t even care about Theodore who was by her side.
On the other hand, Theodore didn\'t seem very comfortable with the attitude shown by Maureen, he seemed to be trying to reprimand the girl, but unfortunately the gesture had no effect on the woman whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Ramon didn\'t take Maureen\'s hand, he just looked at the hand then her face, without saying anything and this made the atmosphere very stiff and awkward.
Hailee wanted to laugh but also wanted to shake her head helplessly. She now witnessed another of Ramon\'s unique abilities. Her husband was very capable of making things even more awkward than they should be by just sitting around. Wasn\'t that an advantage too?
"Theodore, Maureen," Hailee said in a very formal language when she said their names. She then looked at Maureen who pulled her hand back because Ramon didn\'t welcome it, but that didn\'t make the smile on her lips recede. In fact, she seemed more interested in Ramon\'s cold demeanor. "Nice to meet you guys, but now, we have to go first."
And after hearing those words, Ramon immediately pulled Hailee away from the two of them, as if they could shroud his wife with a negative aura.
"Tsk, how arrogant," Theodore muttered when he saw Ramon had turned away. "If he doesn\'t have the name Tordoff behind his own, then he\'s a nobody." Theodore could only talk about bad things behind Ramon\'s back. Because if the man heard what he was saying now, it wouldn\'t result in a pleasant outcome.
"You shouldn\'t have said that." Maureen scowled. "Why are you mad at him? Is it because you still like your ex-fiancé?"
"Of course not," Theodore grumbled.
"Be careful of what you say," Zia said, who suddenly appeared from behind the two people. "You\'re nothing if it weren\'t for your surname," she said mockingly.
Maureen, who heard that, became annoyed and looked at Zia fiercely.
"You should keep your word!" Zia added.
"Why? Are you jealous that your cousin has a husband like Ramon and an ex-fiancé like Theodore?"
Hearing Maureen\'s last statement, Zia laughed. "Having a husband like Ramon can be enviable, but what can be proud of having an ex-fiancé like him?" Zia pointed at Theodore with her chin. "He\'s just a trash man who can only get other trash women, like his ex-wife Aileen and…" Zia\'s eyes then turned to Maureen and she chuckled.
It was clear that Maureen was another trash woman Theodore had chosen.
"Watch your mouth! You, who don\'t know yourself!" Maureen exclaimed.
"You should have asked him why he let Hailee go and where his ex-wife is now. Do you know where Aileen is now?" Zia asked and from the expression on Maureen\'s face, she could clearly see that this girl knew absolutely nothing about it. "Aileen is now in a mental hospital."
Hearing this fact, Maureen was shocked and she couldn\'t hide her emotions.
"Zia!" Theodore shouted when he heard how Zia said that bluntly, humiliating him. But, Zia just waved her hand and immediately followed Hailee and Ramon.
==================
Hailee and Ramon boarded a different car and not Zia\'s when they were about to return to the Tatum family\'s house.
"How long will you be here?" Ramon asked, leaning his head on Hailee\'s shoulder while his wife was browsing an online catalog. She still wanted to get Candice to work for her company and if Lexus managed to get the girl, it might be easier to talk to her.
"Until the day after tomorrow," Hailee replied in a low voice, because her focus was now only on her cell phone.
They were now in the car on their way home and it was about half an hour from the mall they had just left.
Seeing that, Ramon was not happy at all, he took Hailee\'s cellphone and threw it away carelessly.
"Hey," Hailee scolded, but then laughed when she saw Ramon\'s darkened face. "I\'m looking at the jewelry designs for a new set later."
"No," Ramon said. "You\'ve been working all day and hanging out with Zia, now I want your focus to be on me," Ramon said.
Hearing that, Hailee laughed softly. "You\'re acting like a child," she grumbled.
But then she pulled Ramon closer and kissed his forehead. "How was your day? Did anything interesting happen?"
"Today…" Ramon\'s words didn\'t come out as his facial expression immediately turned very serious.
"What is it?" Hailee immediately noticed the change, however, things happened so fast that no one was prepared for the next moment.
Quickly, Ramon grabbed Hailee\'s body and hugged her very tightly when he saw a car speeding toward them at high speed.
The car didn\'t appear to be stopping in time and looked as though it intended to hit them.
And the most terrible thing happened, as the collision was unavoidable.
The car that Ramon and Hailee were traveling in was at a crossroads when another car from their right drove very fast and hit the side of the car Hailee was sitting in.
The car they were driving bounced quite a distance and rolled on the asphalt.
Not only that, in the process, the car Hailee and Ramon were traveling in also hit four other cars, of which two were the cars filled with bodyguards while the other two were passersby cars.
The collision was very fast but also deadly.
No one thought this would happen. However, what was even more terrifying was the fact that another car had stopped behind them soon and from inside the car, came several armed men pointing their guns at the car that had been hit.
No one recognized the faces of the mysterious men because they were wearing black masks to cover their faces.
