It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

255 FIGHTING EACH OTHER

No one expected that Aileen could be so brave and presumptuous to return Rebecca's slap.

Even the pain that Rebecca felt was masked by shock, as she could only stare at Aileen rooted to the ground, without saying anything, while her mind digested what had just happened to her.

"Aileen!" Theodore shouted angrily as he regained control. "How dare you slap my mother!?" he cried, anger evident in his eyes and for some reason, Aileen felt lost.

Yes, Aileen had lost the side of Theodore who was easy to manipulate and fool, a man she could control with just a few tears and sweet words, but now, Aileen barely even recognized this livid face anymore.

What major changes have actually occurred? Was it because of her hasty decision, which had forced this marriage on the grounds of pregnancy? Or was it just a trigger for Theodore to show his cowardice? Because that was what he always had been. A coward.

"Your mother slapped me many times and you just kept quiet," Aileen said in a lazy tone. She was tired of dealing with this mother and son pair. People who don't know how to repay the politeness of others. All this time Aileen had been very patient with the two of them, couldn't they be more decent to her?

Even before they found out that Aileen had lied to them about this pregnancy, they had never once treated her like a daughter-in-law.

Especially now that Theodore's attitude had changed one hundred and eighty degrees toward Aileen, being in this house was nothing but torturous.

"Because you deserve to be slapped!" Rebecca screamed in anger. She looked at Aileen with a look as if she was going to kill this woman for tarnishing the Gevano family's reputation. How could a woman with cunning nature like her be the wife of her only son? What karma did she actually accumulate to get this bad luck? "Not just getting slapped, you deserve to be kicked out of this house!"

Hearing those words, Aileen raised her eyebrows provokingly, she wasn't surprised at all because Rebecca was so predictable.

Likewise with Theodore, this man will always follow what his mother says.

At this point, all the pretense and the sweet smile along with the patient attitude that Aileen always showed in front of them had collapsed, because now Aileen didn't care about this family anymore. The only thing she wanted now was the Tatum company.

And Aileen had found another way to achieve it by not involving the Gevano family.

Maybe this was a hasty and thoughtless decision, but Aileen felt very confident that she could control Giana.

Unbeknownst to her, it was her blindness that would bring her down, because Giana was of course on a different level from Aileen.

"I don't want you in this house anymore," Theodore said in a deep and firm voice. He gritted his teeth as he said that, still trying to keep Rebecca from pouncing onto Aileen again. "Go Aileen, we'll talk about this marriage another time, once things calm down."

"Divorce her!" Rebecca exclaimed, agitated. She pointed her index finger at Aileen with anger that grew when she saw the sinister smile on the woman's lips. "Divorce her right now!"

Theodore did not respond to his mother's words and repeated the sentence again, this time more firmly than before.

"Get out of this house now Aileen," growled Theodore.

"You're going to divorce me?" asked Aileen in a lazy tone. She brushed her hair off her shoulders and chuckled. "Let's get a divorce then. If you think marrying me was a mistake, then you think I don't feel the same way toward you?"

"Aileen!" cried Theodore.

However, Aileen didn't want to respond to the mother and son duo. She then turned her body and walked away from Theodore's study, but as she walked, she stretched out her hand deliberately, dropping every display piece or anything she could reach, causing more commotion and chaos in the already dilapidated room.

Aileen enjoyed how Rebecca screamed behind her along with the sound of vases or crystal statues falling and shattering to the floor.

"Crazy! She's a crazy woman!"

================

"Giana bought a stake in Tatum's company?" Lexus asked after swallowing his lamb chop eagerly, while listening to what happened to Hailee that day.

Actually Hailee told everything to Ramon, but since Lexus, as usual, was having dinner at their house, he also chanced upon the problems in her maiden family's company.

"Lexus, don't you have your own house?" Hailee narrowed her eyes when she heard Lexus. "The chef at your house will eat a blind salary if you continue to eat dinner and breakfast in this house."

"It's okay," Lexus replied lightly, waving his hand. "Sometimes they need a day off."

What did holiday mean in Lexus's journal when almost every day he could make time to come to Ramon and Hailee's house?

"You're such a hassle," Hailee grumbled, but when Lexus asked for another lamb chop, Hailee gave him the biggest chunk regardless.

"Then what are you going to do?" asked Lexus excitedly. "Are you going to pay a surprise visit and remove her from her position? You have the power to do that."

Hailee didn't have an answer to that question yet, she planned to discuss this with Ramon.

But, on the other hand, if it really was the case and Giana managed to get a stake in the company, it meant Ramon would have to face Giana...

Just imagining that scenario was already very unpleasant for Hailee.

Was this also the reason Giana wanted to help Aileen? Because then she would have a chance to get close to Ramon again?

Giana, Aileen… they were really two people with the same character. She didn't know how much longer she had to wait until the two of them started knocking each other down...
