Chapter 322 - HER ONLY CHANCE
"We have to leave immediately!" said a guard with a very serious face, as he opened the door hastily. They could even see a glimmer of fear that flashed in his eyes.
It seemed, whatever happened out there resulting in a commotion, was something that couldn't be taken lightly at all.
"What happened?" asked one of the three men Giana asked to harass Hailee. They weren't forced to do anything yet because of the commotion out there, but that didn't mean they would if they had not been interrupted.
The three of them were just lowly subordinates who took orders from their superiors, but to harass a woman, especially when she was pregnant, was of course beyond the line of tolerance they could accept.
The three of them looked at Giana with condescending eyes. How could she ask them to do that?
"There's someone trying to get into this building and wreaking havoc. Seems like it is someone who knows this woman," said the man quickly and urgently, nodding at Hailee who was still motionless, lying on the cold floor, with her body curled into a fetal position.
They had to leave by using the back door of this building and take Giana and Aileen out of here, safely at that.
"Bring the girl too," Giana ordered. She still wasn't done with Hailee, while Aileen couldn't say anything, because she was too scared.
"That must be Ramon Tordoff…. It must be him…" Aileen muttered in a voice that was trembling with fear. How could she possibly be left unscathed? Ramon is not a forgiving person.
If Ramon could get George into so much trouble and threaten his position in the company over a trivial matter like a ring, then Aileen couldn't imagine what kind of fate she would face when that horrible man found out that his wife was in such a terrible condition.
Even though Aileen didn't touch Hailee in the least bit, not even a strand of her hair, she really doubted that Ramon would be understanding and forgive her and let her go without hurting her at all.
Just imagining that made Aileen shudder. Her body trembled violently and her teeth began to chatter violently. What the heck is this… exactly what kind of situation has Aileen been in and with what kind of person has she made a deal?
It seemed things wouldn't get any better for her, no matter what she did…
"Kill her…" Aileen said in a low whisper when Giana was busy giving orders to the three men. "Kill her! Kill her! KILL HER!" she cried frantically.
And a slap landed on Aileen's cheek so hard that she fell to the floor.
"Shut up, you're really noisy," Giana said sarcastically, then again told the three men to take Hailee with them, while they refused to touch her because Chad ordered them to leave Hailee behind. "Lift her up. Now." Giana ordered sharply.
"You must kill her!" Aileen roared. She tried to stand up, but Giana's blow was so strong that she staggered and fell back. "If you let her live, she will tell Ramon. You think Ramon will let us live after that?!" Aileen was so panicked to save her own life.
"Who said I would let her live?" asked Giana sarcastically. "I didn't plan on letting her live at all. However, killing her now doesn't feel right, because I'm still not satisfied with repaying every insult she inflicted on me."
A sinister smile tugged at the corners of Giana's lips as she again ordered the three men to bring Hailee away.
In the end, because the commotion outside was getting louder and chaotic and they didn't have time, while they couldn't leave unless Giana and Aileen went with them, one of the men finally forced Hailee up and they all walked toward the garage to escape from the house.
================
Evidently, the gate of this house was not as strong as the Tordoffs', because after several hits, the gate began to show fatal damage and that didn't mean the car Ramon was driving didn't suffer the same damage.
But, who cares? Ramon couldn't care less about such small things now.
Meanwhile, Ian, Marco and several other bodyguards could only get ready to charge into the house after Ramon knocked down the damn gate, because they couldn't possibly stop Ramon.
"Ramon is crazy..." Ian muttered, he then took the gun that Marco handed to him and stared at the nearly torn gate, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
"Yes, this time I have to agree with you..." Marco said. "Imagine how terribly the car is damaged by Mr. Tordoff to crash the gates?"
Hearing Marco's comment, Ian turned his head and frowned. "I think we're worried about different things..." he said. "I don't care about the car at all." After all, whatever the price of the car was, it had nothing to do with Ian.
================
Hailee tried to struggle when one of the men carried her because she knew that Ramon was outside this house. She was so close and all Hailee needed to do was to stay here until Ramon came to pick her up.
Thus, despite the pain gnawing at her body and making it difficult for her to breathe, she struggled to fight back.
Unfortunately, Hailee didn't have any strength left and was easily carried away.
"Now you see, who has the last smile?" Giana asked, her smile making Hailee feel sick and at the same time she wanted to kill the woman.
Hailee wasn't a saint who never hated someone, but not to the point where she wanted to kill that person. Giana was a first for her.
"I won't forget this..." Hailee said while biting her lip.
"Of course, you won't. I will make sure of it..." said Giana with a happy tone. She laughed cheerfully.
Aileen frowned. She no longer cared about any of this. Gianna has gone mad. All these people have gone mad. She just wanted to get out of this place alive.
And if they wanted to go to the basement, they had to use an elevator.
It was then, Hailee saw her only chance to escape…
