Chapter 257: YOU CAN'T GO
"Then the agreement between us is cancelled," Giana said in a light tone, responding to Aileen's demands. She couldn't possibly let this woman control her. This was a gamble and Aileen should have followed what Giana asked.
The two of them did work together to achieve their respective goals, but any wise man would know, otherwise there could be two snakes in the same hole without killing each other.
"I hope you can get out of your own mess," said Giana in a gentle tone, because Aileen didn't say anything. "I heard you just returned to the Tatum residence. Hope you enjoy your days there."
Aileen gasped when she heard Giana's last sentence. Her eyes widened widely and swiftly she removed the blanket covering her body and sat down immediately. How could this bitch know that? Was she spying on her?
Aileen had just returned to this house, not even twenty-four hours had passed, but how did Giana find out?
Giana really wasn't a person Aileen could take lightly and look down on, because this woman turned out to be much more cunning and prepared than she thought.
"Wait," Aileen immediately said, before the phone line was cut off. "I wonder what you are going to do with the video…"
On the other hand, Giana smiled happily when Aileen decided to speak as she knew very well how to toy with a woman like Aileen.
Aileen was indeed full of guile, it was just that she was not very good at reading a person's character or situation, both of which were very important to survive in a business world full of intrigue. This woman was still an amateur.

"With that video, I will make sure that you don't stab me in the back, even after our agreement is fulfilled," Giana replied smoothly, as if she had the answer prepared.
"You don't need the video, you should know that I wouldn't do something like that to you," Aileen tried to evade and reassure Giana of her loyalty and honesty in the agreement between the two of them.
Giana's laughter could be heard right after Aileen said those words.
"You didn't seriously think I would believe what you said, did you?" Giana laughed until tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. "Besides myself, I don't trust anyone else."
Aileen felt very stupid when she heard Giana's laughter. "I just need control in Tatum's company and you have all the evidence for Aidan and Zia's affair. Our agreement ends there."
"No Aileen. I make the rules and I will say when the agreement is fulfilled," Giana confirmed again. Her laughter faded as her tone became deeper and more serious. "I just wanted to remind you that you need me more than I need you right now."
Silence fell over the two of them, while Aileen thought hard about her choice.
"I want to meet you in person," Aileen finally decided. This way, she would have more time to think about what steps she could take in the future.
"Okay," Giana agreed without much hesitation and then the line between them was cut off.
As soon as the conversation ended, Dillon entered Giana's study. He had put on his night clothes and looked at the woman before him with a look that was hard to describe.
"What are you planning, Giana? Who are you calling?" asked Dillon as he approached the woman. Until now, Dillon still couldn't understand how he could love Giana so deeply that he closed his eyes to all the actions that Dillon himself did not approve of.
"Nothing," replied Giana sweetly, her eyes that were filled with hatred and calculation, now looking at the man in front of her gently, while wrapping her arms around the man's neck. "I told you, didn't I, about Aileen?"
"Yeah, you told me," Dillon mumbled, he closed his eyes when Giana kissed him on the lips, running his long fingers through her hair.
A few days ago, Giana announced that Dillon would return to being her personal assistant and this naturally caused a lot of controversy among the higher-ups at Dawson family's company.
However, Giana ignored all of that and didn't care about their harsh words.
Giana told them to give up the shares they own if they were not satisfied with her leadership, because Giana was the only legal heir of the Dawson family, while Lori, her father's sister, did not have a strong hold like her brother.
"Then can we sleep now?" Giana whispered seductively into Dillon's ear, making the man stop questioning her plans.
================
The night before, they discussed about Giana who would buy shares in Tatum's company, the very next day, Hailee got news that Aileen had returned to Tatum's residence.
Of course, that didn't make her happy at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHailee didn't really want Aileen to set foot in that house again. Why, you ask? She had been given the inheritance of another house, which she didn't deserve, but still dared to act like a lady from the Tatum residence?
Hailee felt the urge to kick the woman out of her house.
"I don't want her there!" Hailee shouted. She was annoyed that Ramon had forbidden her from going there. "I want her out of that house."
Well, the last incident when Hailee met Aileen still made the man uneasy, and now his wife was asking to see her adoptive sister again?
"I will send people to drag her out of there." Ramon then wrapped his arms around Hailee and pulled her closer, hugging his wife who was pouting.
"I want to see her face when they pull her out of there."
"I'll have one of them stream it live, so you can watch it from home."
"I want to slap her!"
"I'll have someone slap her for you."
"Ramon!"
"No can do. You can't go."
