It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Hailee winced when she heard Ian's question. Yes, she shouldn't be in City A, if things had been good, then Hailee should be in the Northern State.

But, unfortunately, not all well-designed plans would end up as expected.

"So this is it…" Hailee started telling him what really happened after she left Ian's house going along with her plan to board the plane Ian had ordered for her to the northern states.

It was just that, unfortunately Hailee never made it to the airport because Roland Dimatrio's people found out where she was and found her while she was still in town A.

"No way ..." muttered Ian in disbelief. "The only people who know your escape plan are me and a few people I trust. They were the people who helped me to create a new identity for you and made bookings for the plane that you will be boarding. "

Hailee and Ian fell silent after he said this, busy with their own thoughts. If what Ian said was true, then there were only two possibilities;

First, it was a coincidence, which both of them doubted that this was just a coincidence. It was all too strange to be a coincidence.

Second, the other possibilities were; the people Ian thought he could trust were not as trustworthy as he thought.

If that was true, then Ian will find out who leaked this information. That person should learn a little lesson from it!

Putting the matter aside for Ian to solve, Hailee asked another urgent matter. "But, what concerns me is; who was the one who mobilized Alex and his men? Isn't Roland Dimatrio lying unconscious in the hospital?" Hailee was solely confused by this.

"I'll find out about it," Ian said immediately. "Who do you suspect?"

Hailee had thought of the people she suspected, but there was nothing about her suspicion that could make things clear.

Aileen was indeed the one behind Hailee and Roland Dimatrio's meeting, but on what basis could she give Alex orders? The bodyguard would not take orders from anyone but someone who was closely related to Roland Dimatrio.

However, the question was; who? The Dimatrio family? How could they possibly know Hailee's whereabouts and attribute the calamity that befell Roland to her.

It would be impossible for Roland Dimatrio to tell his family members that he would have an affair with the girl he bought from a bid.

Prior to that night, Hailee had never even met a member of the Dimatrio family. Because after all, they weren't from the same town where Hailee grew up.

"I don't know," Hailee replied honestly. She felt utterly confused.

From the other end of the line, Hailee can hear Ian's muttering. "I understand, I will try to find out the detailed information regarding Roland Dimatrio."

"Thank you Ian," said Hailee gratefully. This best friend of hers was the only person she could trust right now, she didn't even want to think what would happen if Hailee didn't have Ian.

Hailee hadn't decided what course of action she should take next, but knowing more about Roland's condition and the situation in town R might help Hailee make up her mind.

Would she have to run away, or face this seemingly endless problem, not to mention her lie to the Tordoff family.

"Where are you living in city A currently?" asked Ian immediately.

Ugh! It was a question that would take about thirty minutes to explain Hailee's current state.

This was going to be a long explanation.

Hailee began telling all the lies she had told the Tordoffs by pretending to be Ramon Tordoff's fiancé.

"You're crazy Lee!" Ian screamed hysterically and Hailee quickly asked him to calm down.

If only pretending to be Ramon's fiance made Ian this hysterical, what will be his reaction when he finds out the whole story?

But, what else could she possibly do? Hailee had to tell Ian so that her best friend could understand the situation and help her to find a way out which seemed very far from Hailee's reach.

"Calm down first. Listen to me, "Hailee hissed in a low voice as Ian kept interrupting her words. "I don't want to lie like this either, you know what the Tordoffs are like..."

"Then why did you do it?" demanded Ian irritatedly.

"If I didn't do it, I wouldn't be here and would have already been dead somewhere!" Hailee grumbled irritably.

After saying that, Ian fell silent. Hailee knew, this man must be thinking.

"Okay, continue," said Ian a few moments later.

Then Hailee started telling everything to the point where she had to marry Ramon and the wedding ceremony would be in less than two weeks.

At first, Hailee thought Ian would make a fuss like earlier again, but he didn't. He listened silently, until Hailee thought that maybe her best friend had fallen asleep.

"Ian?" called Hailee. "Did you still hear me?"

"Hm," muttered Ian. "Yes, I heard." f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"So, what do you think?" Hailee asked in a pleading voice. "I do not know what to do."

Ian fell silent again, but as soon as he spoke, he said things that Hailee had never thought of before. "Lee, don't you think Ramon Tordoff is a little weird?"

"What's strange?" Hailee asked, confused. She didn't find anything strange about Ramon.

"Why does he want to rush into a marriage with you?" asked Ian.

"Since he thinks he and his fiancé have been in this relationship for two years, it is very appropriate for this relationship to be taken to a more serious level," Hailee explained.

"But, don't you think it's a little strange?" Ian continued voicing out his suspicions. Indeed, sometimes a third person would be able to see a problem from a clearer perspective than the people involved in it. "Did he ever ask how you guys met or any other questions that concern your family?"

Hailee thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, he did ask."

"Then what is your answer?" asked Ian again.

"Of course I avoided answering his questions as much as possible," said Hailee. "But, I said that my parents were already dead and I don't have any relatives that I have to invite to the wedding."

"Then he just believed and didn't ask any more?" With the way his voice sounded, Hailee could imagine that Ian was frowning. "Hailee, I know people like Ramon Tordoff, they wouldn't just take your word for it without further investigation."
