It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 48: SEE RED (2)

Hailee staggered around holding her head which felt a little heavy, cursing herself for drinking too much because she was nervous. She was not someone who could hold strong drinks.

Leaning against the wall of the exit, Hailee observed the people around her. Some people looked at her curiously while some ignored her.

Hailee then took out her cellphone and tried to call Ian back. The last time she called, the man said that he was still on the way to here.

However, after ringing his number several times, Hailee assumed that Ian was still on his way, so he couldn't pick up her calls.

Therefore, to make herself a little more sober, Hailee walked away from the bar area. At least, if Lexus found out that she hadn't returned from the toilet and decided to look for her, he couldn't find her easily.

While holding her throbbing forehead, Hailee walked away.

But she didn't know that her decision to leave created bigger problems for Lexus, who was now fully sober from the influence of alcohol and was standing trembling under his brother's angry gaze.

"Bro…" Lexus tried to speak, but his next words were swallowed up when he caught Ramon's fierce gaze staring at him ruthlessly.

Ramon was sitting in a special room that was only meant for him and Lexus was standing right in front of him with his head bowed and sweat pouring down his back in panic and nervousness that swept over him like a storm.

"So you took her out of the Tordoff's and brought her here, even though I told you she was not allowed to leave the house," concluded Ramon.

"About that…" Lexus grimaced, now feeling guilty about the decision he had made. Who would have thought that Hailee would leave, disappearing on him like this? Where the hell was that girl? "You shouldn't lock her up… that girl looks really depressed after what you did in front of the media…"

However, Lexus's defending himself for whatever he had done did not make Ramon happy and the man's voice grew lower.

"'That girl?'" Ramon narrowed his eyes dangerously at this little brother. "'That girl' is my future wife," he said with great emphasis.

"Yes, yes ..." said Lexus timidly. "My sister-in-law seems so depressed after you announced your marriage in front of the media. You know that she still feels that your marriage is rushed."

Ramon said nothing this time. He folded his arms and sat back in his chair, his sharp eyes staring at Lexus with displeasure.

In his entire life, Ramon had always done everything based on his deemed right and never thought to consider other people's feelings, at least that was what he remembered, despite the past four years he had forgotten.

Meanwhile, seeing a silent Ramon, Lexus thought of taking this as advantage and approached his older brother with caution.

"Bro, maybe she's just sulking. Try to give her a minute to calm down, I think you are too hard on sister-in-law…???Lexus tried to calm Ramon so that he would stop frightening the people around him with his terrible face.

"Lexus," called Ramon.

"Yes?" replied Lexus as sweetly as possible. "What is wrong?"

"Stop rubbing my shoulder before I break your hand," said Ramon in a cold and heartless tone.

Instantly, as if electrocuted, Lexus took back his hand and took a step back, away from Ramon.

Aahhh… this brother really had no feelings!

No wonder sister-in-law ran away! Who can stand a person like this? Lexus grumbled, only silently though. Because he could only scold Ramon in his heart.

Now Lexus began to imagine their two years of relationship, during the time when no one knew where Hailee was, maybe Ramon used this dictatorial way to silence Hailee.

Sigh, now Lexus really felt sorry for his sister-in-law for having to accept Ramon as her husband.

It might be good if Hailee disappeared for a while. To teach Ramon a little lesson, that girl was his future wife, and not some employee who had to obey anything and everything Ramon wanted.

"Lexus," called Ramon again.

"Yes?" asked Lexus quickly, gasping as his wild imagination was cut off.

"Stop," said Ramon again. He stood and tidied up his clothes, then turned to look at his stammering brother.

"Stop? Stop what? I didn't do anything," said Lexus as if he was caught doing something inappropriate.

"Whatever you are thinking right now, stop it," said Ramon in a stern tone, then he walked out of the room, leaving Lexus to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Can he read my mind?" Lexus wondered and then shuddered. Even in his own mind, Lexus still couldn't hide from his brother.

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

Hailee called Ian again and this time the man picked up.

"I've reached the bar you mentioned, come out," said Ian a little loudly because there were several cars passing behind him.

"I've been out of there," Hailee said in a low voice. "I'm in the park nearby, on the swing."

Ian was silent for a moment, listening to the way Hailee spoke. "Are you drunk?" guessed it.

"I guess so, I had a few drinks," Hailee said in a voice that was getting lower and lower, more like a whisper.

"Hailee! I've told you several times that…" Ian's scolding was interrupted when the girl suddenly yelled at him.

"Come here quickly! You're too talkative!" exclaimed Hailee irritably. Her head was hurting badly and the last thing she wanted was someone to scold her.

"Okay, I'm coming over, don't go anywhere and stay there," Ian warned.

"Hurry up…" said Hailee before disconnecting the line.

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

Ramon was informed that Hailee was nowhere to be found and had probably left this area.

And now, the man who had been trying to hold back his emotions all night, was in the control room, where the security staff were trying to find Hailee through the CCTV cameras installed.

"Ah, this…" said one of the staff who pointed a finger toward a screen where Hailee was last seen.

On the screen, Hailee was leaning against the wall and trying to make a call.

"This recording happened about two hours ago," said the staff member notifying Ramon and Lexus.

"Bro, looks like she's trying to contact someone, was she trying to contact you earlier?" asked Lexus.

However, Ramon did not respond, because he knew exactly who Hailee was calling at that time. The man named Ian.

Ramon looked even scarier now than before, with his eyes glued to the monitor screen showing Hailee staggering out into the parking lot and out of camera range after that.

Where was the girl going like that?!Thought Ramon angrily.
