It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 397 - SOMEONE ELSE IS INSIDE

"What's with that expression on your face?" Hailee asked when she saw Leon's changed facial expression after he received a call from one of his subordinates.

He had just been informed that the Arena section, which was located on the top floor of this building, was in a state of utter chaos. There seemed to be a fight going on there, which led to another fight.

And now, some of his men were trying to calm things down.

Only, it didn't take a genius to know what was really going on inside the Arena.

Just hearing that Ian had come to this place alone, was already a big alarm bell. There was no way the man who had been missing for some time and was very close to the Tordoff family, would come to this place again without any agenda.

"Why? Something happened to this place?" Hailee asked again, in a voice as if she was mocking Leon. "Was my sweet brother-in-law the one who caused the mess? Or my uncle?"

Hailee paid no heed to the fierce glare Leon threw at her, which seemed to tell her to be quiet, so that he could hear more clearly about the details of the chaos that had occurred as well as alternative routes for him to escape if things couldn't be handled.

Because from the tone of the voice of the man who informed Leon, it seemed that things were getting even more chaotic.

Leon gritted his teeth and threw the cell phone in his hand toward Hailee, luckily the woman moved quickly, as if she had seen that this man would lose his temper in the face of her taunts.

"Why are you angry? You don't like me asking?" Hailee spoke again, as if nothing had happened.

While on the other hand, Leon was trying to contain his anger. He needed to be calm in a situation like this, but it was really hard to achieve such composure while being around Hailee.

"You think you can escape from this place?" Leon asked sarcastically. "You will never be able to see your husband again."

Hailee shrugged. "I'm not running away, I'm going to walk out of here with my head held high and I'm going to see my husband again." A sinister smile tugged at the corners of Hailee's lips. "This game is not over. And it won't end until I see how things end for you."

"You're too brave for a woman," Leon mocked Hailee.

But, Hailee actually took it as a compliment. "Of course, that's why Ramon chose me and not your frail, addicting niece."

Hearing Hailee's answer, Leon clenched his fists tightly. Anger almost blinded his eyes until he almost reached for the gun that was at his waist. Were it not for him trying to contain himself and thinking that this girl still had some use for him, he would have given into that impulse.

On the other hand, Hailee looked straight at Leon without fear. She knew that Leon would not possibly hurt her, especially when he could use herself as a shield to escape from this place.

This man was really cunning and Hailee wouldn't be surprised if he sacrificed Giana for his own safety. Besides, Giana couldn't do anything now.

With one last fierce look, Leon closed the door behind him and left the room where he was holding Hailee.

Hailee knew that Leon would definitely not leave the door unlocked, but she still walked forward and tried to open the door.

And when she found that the door was indeed locked, Hailee pursed her lips.

Hailee didn't know for how long she had been trapped in this room, she wasn't even sure how many days she had been unconscious since the accident and how Ramon was doing now.

However, from what Leon said every time he tried to provoke her, Hailee knew that Ramon was still alive and that was the most important thing for her to know.

And now, something was happening, which made Leon quite angry until he lost composure. It seemed that she would soon be free from this place.

"Ramon…" Hailee mumbled, staring at the door in front of her, trying to think of a way to protect herself.

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

The chaos in the Arena was getting out of control, not only because the people there were fighting with each other, or one could say it was the people brought in by Lexus who caused the chaos, but also because of the sudden ambush by other people - Diego's men, after Lexus told him he could come inside.

"This door can only be opened from the inside," Ian said, telling Lexus, while staring at the door that several of Leon's men had passed a moment ago.

"Can't you call a friend of yours to open this door?" Lexus asked.

Ian rolled his eyes when he heard Lexus' question. "I'm not friends with them."

"You've been here for years and you don't have any friends?" Lexus clicked his tongue while shaking his head.

"Hey!" Ian was annoyed that Lexus made it seem as if he was someone who was an outcast and didn't have many friends. "I don't socialize with people like that. I choose my own friends."

"Sometimes you don't have to choose a friend," Lexus replied.

"Do you know? We're a really bad team," Ian grumbled impatiently.

"I agree with you on that," Lexus said without thinking.

After the small bickering, the two of them saw one of Leon's men running out. He pushed the door without realizing that two people were waiting for him.

And when he was so close to Ian and Lexus, Ian immediately blocked him and quickly disarmed him, while Lexus ran to the door and kept it from closing.

"Did you kill him?" Lexus asked as Ian jogged over to him after dropping his first victim.

"I don't think so," Ian answered casually, and the two of them ran inside.

"Shouldn't we wait for backup before we go deeper into this place?" Lexus asked when he saw Ian trying to enter the place without thinking.

"Most of Leon's men are upstairs, so I don't think we're going to find so many of Leon's men here." Ian tried to analyze the situation, but before Lexus could respond, the two of them saw that there were about twenty people crossing an intersection in the corridor, which startled them both. They rushed into the nearest room.

"You said there wouldn't be a lot of people!?" Lexus protested.

"I said 'I guess', it was an analysis, not something definite," Ian grumbled.

"I can't cooperate with you," said Lexus in frustration.

But then their little bickering stopped when they realized that someone else was inside this room.
