It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 254: THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

Because Aidan knew that Aileen had turned to Giana and chose that woman to work with, of course Aidan did not remain silent. He knew what his ex-wife could do with the evidence Aileen had.

And moreover, Aidan knew what Aileen wanted from Giana. Tatum Company.

Even though this was a cunning way and Aidan felt really bad for using Zia in the middle of his problems with Giana, it was the only way he could think of right now.

By telling Zia about what Giana and Aileen were planning meant warning Hailee indirectly about this, but of course Aidan's target was not Hailee, but the man behind her.

Ramon would not stay silent when the company he was after and almost had in his hands just slipped due to an unexpected fatal mistake, which came in the form of Aileen.

"Aileen is planning to sell some of Tatum's shares to Giana, Giana Smith, Dawson, or whatever her name is now," Zia told Hailee. "That woman…" she growled furiously. It went without saying that if Aileen was in front of her right now, she wouldn't hesitate to slap that shameless face hard. It doesn't matter if she's pregnant.

"Selling company shares to Giana?" Hailee frowned. "She doesn't have that much stake in Tatum Jewelry."

Even if Aileen and George sold the shares they owned in the company, it certainly wouldn't be worth what Hailee had.

"Yes, indeed, but Aileen is trying to convince some investors to sell their shares," Zia then gave the names of the two largest shareholders in Tatum Jewelry after Hailee. "I don't know what Aileen has to offer, but they seem interested."

Hailee was silent for a moment. It seemed that today she couldn't relax anymore.

"How did you know all this?" Hailee asked inquisitively.

What Hailee knew about Zia was that her cousin was almost the same as her who neither understood nor wanted to be so deeply involved with the company's affairs were it not out of necessity.

Therefore, for Zia to know such detailed information, was a question for Hailee. Perhaps this was one of the positive effects of being around Ramon and watching the man work, and so Hailee became accustomed to thinking more critically.

"Aidan told me everything in sufficient detail," Zia answered honestly, but this actually raised another suspicious brow from Hailee.

"And why is he so kind enough to tell you things that have nothing to do with him?" Maybe because Hailee wasn't in a good mood when she heard this news, but it could also be because she was still annoyed at Zia for having an affair with Aidan.

Aidan was Giana's husband and Zia was the third person in their marriage, while Giana tried to get Hailee's husband in every possible way she could think of.

Their relationship was really messed up.

"You don't need to ask me in that probing manner, Hailee," Zia said with a slightly different tone. It seemed she was a little offended by the way Hailee suspected Aidan. "I'm also a member of the Tatum family, just because you own a bigger stake doesn't mean I don't have any."

Hailee scowled. She didn't like the way Zia accused her either.

"Of course he told me this in detail, because Aidan didn't want Aileen to ruin our family company," Zia said firmly.

Hailee sighed heavily. She had to admit this. "I'm grateful that he warned me about what Aileen was going to do, but I just can't help but wonder, why are you still in touch with him?"

Zia gritted her teeth. She had no idea that their conversation would turn in this direction. "That's none of your business, Hailee."

And after saying those sharp words, Hailee heard a long tone, which indicated that the phone line had been disconnected.

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

A hard slap landed on Aileen's cheek causing her to fall to the floor with her head spinning and ears ringing.

Aileen could no longer digest what insults or insults she got from Rebecca when she found out that she wasn't really pregnant and all this time it had been a lie.

Of course at this point Rebecca could clearly see why Aileen had done this and when she recalled it, her anger at the ignorant woman only escalated even more.

At this time, the team of doctors who had been summoned by Theodore to check the authenticity of Aileen's pregnancy had left the room, and now there were only the three of them.

"Bitch!" Rebecca cried, she tugged at Aileen's hair hard and tried to slap her again, but Theodore pulled his still raging mother away, because after all he didn't want her to lose control and do something she would regret later. "How dare you deceive my family! You framed my son to marry a woman like you!?" Rebecca shouted so loudly that her voice echoed through the walls of the room.

Meanwhile, Aileen remained silent, she didn't even shed the tears that used to be so easy to see when she was at a disadvantage. This time Aileen didn't do the trick again, because she herself was tired of pretending to be nice.

Slowly, Aileen stood up and straightened her hair and bravely looked back at Rebecca with hateful eyes.

"How dare you look at me like that!?" Rebecca was very angry because Aileen seemed to challenge her. "You are the most ignorant and shameless woman I have ever met!"

Despite Theodore's efforts to restrain his mother, Rebecca still managed to reach out her hand to slap Aileen, only before the slap landed on her cheek, Aileen had already slapped her hand away firmly and slapped Rebecca.

A slap that was as hard as the one Aileen received a moment ago.

Luckily Theodore was holding onto his mother, so Rebecca didn't fall woefully to the floor like Aileen did.

For a moment, silence fell over the three of them as Cassandra and Theodore tried to digest what had just happened.

Aileen had slapped her. She slapped Rebecca without holding back...
