Giana narrowed her eyes when she heard Aileen's words. Although Hailee and Aileen were very different, they seem very happy to make snide comments while smiling sweetly.
One of some common characteristics of both of them.
"Of course, I agree," Giana said quietly, smiling back to match Aileen's game. "I was just wondering why you didn't use this method on Aidan. He can also give you what you want." This was one of the few things that Giana couldn't understand.
If only Aileen threatened Aidan with the information she had now, Giana was sure that the man would not be silent, after all Aidan always protected his little prostitute well.
"Of course, I've tried it," Aileen replied calmly. "But, Mr. Smith seems to be so busy right now that he can't grant my wish quickly."
Aileen needed support that she could really rely on, not someone like Aidan who always bought time and made Aileen have to follow his very slow pace.
No. This was Aileen's game, therefore, she would be the one making the rules, not the other way around.
"You kept him very busy," Aileen added. "Your marital problems seem to be draining his time."
Giana laughed sarcastically when she heard that. "Yes, it seems so. He's too busy to bring my family down."
Aileen then stood up and walked slowly toward the door, indicating that the time for the two of them to talk to each other today was almost over.
"So, how long will it take you to get the company? I don't care about anything else, but I want to be the major shareholder in the company." Because that way, even if Ramon intervened in the company's matters, Aileen's position would remain strong.
"Give me two months and the company will be under your control," Giana said with certainty, her every move showing her confidence in getting what she wanted.
"Two months," Aileen touched her chin, thinking for a moment. Two months was not a short time for her, but it was quite a short time considering what Giana was going to do. "Good."
Hearing this agreement, Giana also stood up and walked closer to Aileen who was now standing behind the door, with her left hand on the handle, ready to let Giana out of the room.
"Then what about the information you promised?" Giana asked. She folded her arms when she was standing face to face with Aileen. She also didn't have much time and she had quite a lot of things to do.
"I will send you all the evidence in stages, as long as you inform me how the takeover of the Tatum Jewelery company is progressing," Aileen replied calmly. She certainly wasn't going to let Giana get all the information she had before she got what she wanted.
Which meant, the sooner Aileen secured her position in the company, the sooner Giana would get something from her to work against Aidan. And, the problems she was facing now would be dealt by Aidan then onward.
Revenge was always fun...
"At least tell me who the woman who has been ruining mine and Aidan's household all this time," Giana asked, maybe the word 'ruined the household' was not the right word, but by saying it like that, at least Giana could save the little pride that remained in her.
Aileen didn't need to know how messy her married life was with Aidan from day one.
"I can introduce her if you want," said Aileen, she tilted her head while looking at Giana with interest, imagining how Giana would react when she met the woman who had become her husband's mistress. Moreover, Aileen wanted to see how Zia would react when she saw Giana in here.
"Show me," Giana said in a low voice, trying to hide her emotions, but actually she didn't really understand what she was feeling right now. Because if she gave it a second thought, there was nothing for her to worry about Zia.
But, maybe by looking at the woman, Giana could get a little idea on what kind of woman had filled Aidan's heart all this time.
"Stay here during the wedding, you will get to meet her," Aileen said while rolling her eyes.
================
Hailee didn't have to go to Theodore and Aileen's wedding, but Diego asked her to attend, because after all Aileen was her adopted sister and this was a sacred and important moment for her.
More so, Aileen also came during her and Ramon's wedding, so at least Hailee could think of this as showing some courtesy and also as a way of honoring her late parents who had raised Aileen.
Thus, here was Hailee, with Ramon by her side, looked amazing as usual and protective of his pregnant wife.
The two of them had deliberately kept this pregnancy a secret because they didn't want to attract too much unnecessary attention to Hailee. So, only a few close ones knew about it.
Carefully, Ramon led Hailee out of their car, where Zia was already waiting for Hailee and hugged her carefully before Ramon could stop her from doing so.
"Father is waiting inside, let's go inside," Zia pulled Hailee, while Ramon followed behind them.
This wedding event was far from their imagination, especially when considering how Aileen was so proud to have Theodore as her husband, or how the Gevano family held a wedding party for their only child.
This wedding party was very simple and far from the expectations of anyone who was present, or you could say invited by the family.
The invited guests were only close relatives and a few friends, but no business colleagues or other important people from their business circle.
You could even say this marriage was being held in secret.
Therefore, when Hailee arrived there, she was quite surprised that Aileen was willing to marry in such an atmosphere, especially when she met Theodore's parents.
Mr and Mrs. Gevano didn't seem to be enjoying the party, which was being held in their own home.
"You look very beautiful Hailee," Mrs. Gevano said while holding Hailee's hand and looking at her deeply. "I was hoping that today would be your and Theodore's wedding."
