Chapter 338 - WE NEED TO GET RID OF THEM
Hailee then met up with Pyro at a small cafe at the place she had mentioned over the phone.
Today, Hailee was wearing ordinary clothes which didn't show that she was important at all, but still, the aura emitting from her was so strong that it made the cashier in the cafe stare at her for a long time.
The young girl felt that she had seen Hailee somewhere, but wasn't sure where and even if Hailee was an important figure, she couldn't possibly come to this small cafe.
With that in mind, she ruled out all possibilities and thought that she had mistaken one for another.
Therefore, here was Hailee now, sitting by the window letting the slightly scorching midday sun wash over her, while her bodyguards were sitting at nearby tables and also scattered out on the street, just to ensure Hailee's safety.
For now, Hailee neither complained nor felt uncomfortable with their presence, because she knew the importance of security.
Oh, she wouldn't allow herself to be in the same situation as a few days ago. She wouldn't be so stupid as to endanger herself again.
.In front of her, Pyro was sitting with his head down, the bodyguard was down because he had to face Hailee today.
He still remembered his failure in carrying out his duties and letting very bad things happen to Hailee.
Pyro heard that Hailee had lost her baby and felt very bad about it.
"You've been drinking," Hailee said, revealing what she observed from the figure in front of her.
"Ah," Pyro gasped, then looked even more embarrassed because the smell of alcohol on his body must be so strong that Hailee could smell it. "I only drank a few glasses." He was lying.
What else could he say? Was he going to admit that he was frustrated after that incident and also the fact that Ramon Tordoff had fired him?
It was a light punishment, given Ramon Tordoff's usual way of doing things, he could have ended up worse than just being fired.
"On an afternoon like this?" Hailee asked in disbelief. "You've had too much to drink for such an early evening."
Pyro didn't say anything, he just looked down and stared at the tips of his shoes. He should have showered before meeting Hailee, but for some reason he just headed straight to this place.
Does he really want to get his job back? He thought pitifully because he realized that was the answer.
Then, silence fell over the two of them as neither of them spoke. While the cafe could be fairly empty if it weren't for Hailee and her bodyguards.
"So there's something you want to tell me?" Hailee asked in a low voice. She then took a sip of her apple juice before twirling the glass in her hand.
"I want to apologize, but I don't think my apology alone will be enough to pay for what happened," said Pyro regretfully. "I'm sorry to hear you've lost your baby."
Pyro could clearly remember how much the Tordoffs were looking forward to their baby. And now, all the waiting was in vain because they had lost it.
"Yeah, even your most sincere apologies won't be able to bring back what I've lost," Hailee said which made Pyro feel even worse. "But, there's at least one thing you can do for me," Hailee said calmly.
"What's that?" Pyro asked. He then raised his head to look at Hailee.
"I want you to help me get my revenge." It was the clearest statement Hailee had ever made in front of Pyro. "I want you to work for me again, if that's what you want."
"What about Mr. Tordoff? I'm not sure if Mr. Tordoff would love to see me back," Pyro voiced his concern.
"Ramon will be fine. After all, you'll be working with me, not Ramon," Hailee replied. "We can't really get back what they've made me lose, but at least I can make them pay for what they've done with a fair price. Is that not it?"
================
After convincing Pyro and giving him orders to find out where Aileen was, Hailee tried to contact Ramon.
Hailee knew that Ramon must have ordered his people to find out where Aileen was, but it would be more efficient if Hailee was involved too, because she knew the places her adopted sister might visit.
And that was why she needed Pyro to check out those places, because Ramon still seemed very reluctant to let Hailee cooperate with him and wanted his wife to rest and do nothing.
How could Hailee rest while the people who made her suffer could still laugh and enjoy their lives?
"Where is Ramon…" Hailee mumbled when she found Ramon's cell phone unreachable. Then she decided to call Danny.
Danny picked up the call on the second ring.
"Are you with Ramon?" asked Hailee directly. She was on her way to Tordoff's company after her business with pyro was over.
"Oh, yes, I am with Mr. Tordoff," Danny answered a little hesitantly.
"Where are you guys now?" Hailee asked curiously. "I tried calling him but he didn't pick up."
"Mr. Tordoff is in the interrogation room, that must be why the phone is off," Danny replied.
"Interrogation room?" Hailee repeated. Then she remembered the case that ensnared Ramon because Leon Tordoff was found in one of the buildings belonging to the Tordoff family. "Where are you?"
After Hailee got the address, she immediately ordered Barry to drive to that place.
"We need more security if you want to appear in public," Barry reminded Hailee, because the situation was not very conducive for anyone in the Tordoff family to be in the public sphere considering the huge case that was currently gracing the mass media.
Hailee nodded. "Yes, do whatever. Bring as many people as needed," she said, not paying much attention to this.
It took less than twenty minutes to get to the police station Danny mentioned and when they got there, several cars, which Hailee recognized as cars belonging to the Tordoff family, which meant the bodyguards Barry had called in, had arrived as well.
Hailee was still amazed by their efficiency.
However, there was one thing that caught Hailee's attention more than the six cars that were there, because not far from her, she could see Giana's figure.
