It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Pyro and several other bodyguards stared at the target board in the shape of a person with stunned facial expressions when they noticed what Hailee was targeting.

They felt that Mrs. Tordoff grew more and more like her husband, one might even say she could be even worse.

Mr. Tordoff bad influence was not a joke.

"Why did you shoot that point?" Ramon frowned. He clearly remembered telling Hailee to target the target board's fist, and not the point at its crotch.

"It's no fun when you kill a person right away," Hailee replied lightly, her smile spreading sweetly, as if she hadn't done anything to surprise them.

If the target board was a real person, then of course what Hailee did would have ruined that person's future.

"I was right, weren't I?" Hailee turned to Ramon and flashed him a mischievous grin which her husband liked so much.

Of course the smile rubbed off on him and made Ramon smile along, "Of course my wife is always right." Ramon then took hold of the weapon in Hailee's hands.

"Ah, this activity turned out to be quite fun," Hailee said cheerfully.

And apparently, after this, Hailee would be visiting this shooting range more often to practice.

"Zia, if I leave you, will it be okay?" Ian asked Zia.

Now the girl had returned to her own home, but for one reason or another, Diego still wanted Ian to come over once in a while, in order to accompany Zia, because his daughter still didn't want to meet other people, neither family nor friends.

She only accepted being around Ian. Therefore, Diego asked Ian to accompany Zia and chat with her, to help his daughter's recovery process.

Of course the wound on Zia's wrist was now only a thin line that was barely visible, but there was another wound that had to be treated and it wasn't easy.

Despite his anger, Diego no longer brought up Zia and Aidan's problems. He didn't want to see his daughter in that condition again. No matter what people say about this family or Zia, their family definitely wouldn't say anything in front of his daughter and Diego would make sure of it.

"What is it?" Zia asked. She was sitting in the chair opposite Ian's. They were playing chess now and she was close to winning this round. "Is there a problem?" Zia frowned when she saw the expression on Ian's face.

"A little," Ian replied, groaning a little when he got a text from Marco. Again. It was about the job that Ramon had recently given him.

Ian did not imagine that he would actually agree to work for Ramon one day.

But, so to speak, this job had a much better payoff than fighting in the arena for a week. The rich man was happy to waste his money, so why not?

"I'll be back after I'm done with this business," Ian said with a smile at Zia.

They had become very close lately and Ian had to admit that he felt comfortable around Zia, and vice versa. This friendship turned out to be much better than he thought.

"Okay," said Zia.

Ian was about to leave when Zia called after him.

"If you're not busy, can I exchange messages with you later?" Zia asked. "I'm a little bored when you're not here."

Ian laughed when he heard Zia asking for such permission. "Of course it doesn't matter. I'll call you when I'm not too busy," Ian promised and that brought a smile to Zia's face.

Little things like this turned out to be quite fun after the turmoil that hit her some time ago.

And now, whenever Ian was around her, Zia didn't even think about Aidan anymore. She was no longer waiting for a phone call from that man. At the same time, Aidan didn't even know her new number...

But, as it turned out, Zia was happier like this.

"Okay, I'll go first, don't forget your dinner." Ian reached out his hand and rubbed Zia's head gently before he left Diego Tatum's house.

Hailee looked at Lexus in annoyance as her brother-in-law sighed loudly again. It was as if he was carrying the world's heaviest burden.

"Hey, can you stop sighing like that, you're making me anxious," Hailee grumbled. The two of them were in the television room, because Ramon had not yet returned from his business trip.

It was the second day since Ramon left and Hailee was feeling grumpy because she had to sleep alone. Thus, she called Lexus to watch a movie together. Of course the movies Hailee really wanted to watch were horror movies, but Lexus threatened to leave her at home alone, if she dared to make him watch such a movie.

Therefore, now the two of them were watching a romantic film that was not to her taste at all.

"I'm concentrating on watching," Hailee said to Lexus, "Can't you just calm down for a second," she grumbled.

Lexus didn't reply to Hailee's words and that was odd. After sensing his weird behavior, Hailee turned her body to face Lexus and looked closely at her brother-in-law.

"What is it? What happened?" Hailee asked, this time her voice was much softer. She thought it had something to do with Leon or anything related to the case, because after all that bastard was Lexus' real father.

But, who would have guessed that the real problem was something completely different and Lexus wasn't really thinking about Leon?

He didn't even acknowledge Leon as his father, therefore to feel an emotional attachment and sympathy for that man was impossible for Lexus.

"I think I'm in love," Lexus said, being dramatic. Lately he was always showing a dramatic attitude.

Hearing that, Hailee leaned back against the back of the sofa and ate the potato chips made by Martha.

"Hey!" Lexus scowled when he didn't get the response he wanted from Hailee. "I just told you the reason I feel frustrated, but why are you ignoring me instead?" Lexus then took the bowl that was in Hailee's arms and scarfed down the potato chips in annoyance.

"You fall in love with a different woman every day, what is special about this?" Hailee explained. She stretched out her hand to take the potato chips from the bowl that Lexus had taken, but the man slapped her hand away violently, causing Hailee to glare at him fiercely.

"I'm not in love with them, I'm just admiring them," Lexus corrected Hailee's words and was still trying to ward off her hand, which was still struggling to grab the potato chips.

"What's the difference?" Hailee rolled her eyes dramatically and pinched Lexus's hand which slapped her hand away. "To you, like, love and admiration have the same meaning."

Lexus widened his eyes at Hailee. "Of course not." Lexus insisted.

"Okay, okay," Hailee finally said, giving up. "Now tell me, who is this woman." In the end, Lexus gave the potato bowl to Hailee, letting the woman eat a few. But just as Hailee put a chip in her mouth and was munching on it, Lexus answered Hailee's question.

"Your friend, Candice," Lexus said which made Hailee cough, choking on the potato chips she was eating.

"What? You like her?" Hailee looked at Lexus in disbelief. "What do you like about her?"

Lexus shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I don't know, I don't know what I like about her either."

And this time, Hailee had to pat her head lightly because of Lexus' answer. "Then how far have you gone to try to show your feelings? Does she know?"

"No," Lexus answered quickly. "She always looks annoyed whenever he sees me."

Hailee was completely at a loss for words when she got such an answer from Lexus. "That means she doesn't like you."

"That's precisely the problem, Hailee," Lexus said enthusiastically, he even turned in his seat to face Hailee who shoved the bowl of chips back to his lap. "The more she dislikes me, the more I like her."

Hearing that answer, made Hailee gape at him. She wanted to say something, but no words came out of her lips.

"You have to help me, I feel very frustrated," Lexus begged her.

"You know what, you're the one that frustrates me right now," she replied.

The word fear couldn't describe what Axcel was feeling from the moment David suddenly came to pick him up at his house.

Of course he couldn't refuse and ended up following Ramon's bodyguard, with no one knowing where he was going.

Axcel shouldn't have been that stupid, thinking that David just wanted to meet with him to discuss something normal. But learned his mistake when he was forced into a black van and taken away to a place he had no idea about.

This was very scary, considering how he had been treated previously when dealing with Ramon and David.

Axcel thought the problem between them had been resolved, after he turned against Leon and became an important witness for Ramon to fight Leon later in the trial.

Axcel thought that he was safe by assuming this role, where he felt that his presence was a meaningful thing for Ramon's side to win the lawsuit.

However, that thought was very far off the mark, because Ramon didn't have such a simple plan at all.

He had much better plans for Axcel.

"Where are you taking me?!" Axcel cried frantically as David and another bodyguard pulled himself forcefully into an old house, which looked to be on the verge of collapsing.
