BXBX NOVEL Chapter 413 - SIX YEARS OLD
Chapter 413 - SIX YEARS OLD
Hailee was on her way home after dropping Alina off at school, but then she remembered something. Maybe this wasn\'t a great thing to do and it wasn\'t a good idea either, but for some reason Hailee felt like doing this so badly.
There was something inside her that told her she wanted to do this. So she asked the driver to turn around and gave him the address of the place she wanted to go.
Upon learning the address, the driver looked surprised for a moment, before he finally returned to his professional demeanor. He didn\'t ask much and chose to take Hailee to said place.
This was a place Hailee had never been to before or thought she would ever set foot in. But, for today, she just felt like doing it. She wanted to meet her…
She didn\'t know why though. Was it just to see how much she had suffered or just to show how happy Hailee was now? Or maybe both? But whatever the reason, Hailee wanted to see her after years she hadn\'t seen her.
It took about an hour from where she was to reach a prison where Giana had been serving the rest of her prison term.
She was cleared of her addiction to the prohibited items two years ago and had to serve her sentence after that. Of course, Ramon and Hailee weren\'t going to let the woman get away with just getting rehab.
And this tended to be easy to do because Giana no longer had the support from her family.
The Dawson Company officially became part of the Tordoff family company three years ago and now one of the top five families in City A, had removed the Dawson family name from its list. The Smith family followed the same path.
They got the Smith family company last year, although it took a little longer, but with Ramon and Lis, the process had been fairly quick, considering what had happened to the company so far and how Aidan wasn\'t very competent at managing it, it was a big yet distinct advantage for them.
Hailee got out of the car and walked into the prison, after filling out the guest book and asking to meet with Giana, the two guards there escorted her to a room, where she would meet Giana from behind the glass.
Hailee didn\'t need to wait too long for the woman, because two minutes later, a guard had brought a woman inside and sat her on a chair with a stiff look on her face.
It had been about seven years since Hailee had last seen Giana and she had no idea that the change Giana had undergone could be this big.
Giana didn\'t look like herself, or rather she seemed like a completely different person.
Her condition this time was almost the same as Aileen\'s, although one could say that Giana was much more well-groomed and, fortunately, didn\'t look crazy. Because if she was anywhere near insane, then she too might end up in the same place.
Her beautiful hair was now nothing more than a tangled mess on top of her head. Not only that, her skin which usually looked healthy and glowing, now looked dull and unkempt.
Hailee could even see the crow\'s feet at the edges of her eyes and wrinkles at the corners of her lips, although Hailee was sure that Giana wasn\'t that old to get them.
Maybe if someone had previously said that Giana would end up in prison in this condition, then no one would believe that. Hailee herself found it hard to believe even though now Giana was sitting in front of her.
Hailee felt that she was facing a completely different person.
"What are you doing here?" Giana asked with a cold tone. She looked at Hailee. The same blank and depressed look Hailee saw on Aileen\'s face.
It was as if the two women had no zest for life and were just waiting for death to come and give them salvation.
"Visiting you," Hailee replied briefly, she then leaned her back against the back of the chair while looking at Giana more seriously.
When asked the real reason, Hailee still couldn\'t decide whether she wanted to make fun of Giana or she just wanted to see how much she suffered.
Hearing the short answer, Giana laughed sarcastically. She snorted. "At least bring me something if you really intend to come see me." That cynical voice and that ominous tone were the only things Hailee was very familiar with, convincing her that this was the same Giana.
"Maybe next time," Hailee replied. "I just dropped Alina off at school when I thought of visiting you here."
"Alina…" Giana mumbled the name. "Your daughter?"
"Yes."
"Five years?"
"Six years."
Giana was seen nodding her head, it wasn\'t clear what she was thinking now, then the atmosphere became silent because no one spoke until five minutes later Giana finally spoke up.
"If you came here just to hear my apologies, then you will be disappointed, because I had absolutely no intention of doing that." Giana looked at Hailee and when their gazes met, Giana looked away. She didn\'t want to see any pitiful look. "Stop pitying me."
"It\'s hard to do that," Hailee replied. She then shook her head when she saw Giana turning her head and staring at her fiercely. "I was just curious, didn\'t you think clearly first? I have always seen you as a calculating and intelligent young woman. Therefore, I didn\'t think that you would fall this deep."
Giana snorted when she heard this.
"You can start a new life when you are separated from Aidan and live your life in peace with Dillon and live happily with your baby." Of course Hailee knew about Giana\'s pregnancy. "But you chose another path that led you to your own destruction. I can\'t figure it all out."
Giana suddenly stood up and shouted angrily. "Don\'t say that name again!" she exclaimed. "GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Hailee was quite surprised by Giana\'s outburst, but she knew that the woman couldn\'t hurt her, but more importantly she saw the deep regret in Giana\'s eyes. The regret that left her in despair and that was enough to answer Hailee\'s question.
"Okay, I\'ll go," Hailee said as she got up from her chair. "Goodbye Giana." Then she walked away, leaving Giana in a hysterical mess.
