Chapter 290: NIGHT OF ANNYVERSARY (2)

Ian made sure Zia had fallen asleep after taking her medicine. He had already told Diego that he had business he couldn't leave unattended and couldn't stay with Zia all night.

Diego understood and thanked Ian for being willing to accompany his daughter while he was not around, of course he used words that were a little stern and didn't sound like a thank you, but Ian understood him.

After a few days of getting to know Diego, the man wasn't that hard to understand.

Ian then glanced at Zia once more and stared at the girl a little longer, her breathing sounded calmer and she looked much better than when she was brought to this hospital.

If her condition stabilized within three days, Zia would be allowed to go home.

Diego had also arranged for a live- in psychiatrist to attend to his daughter and during that time, Zia would not hear any news from outside, until the situation was really conducive and society had forgotten about this case.

Everything had been prepared perfectly, however, the results would depend on how Zia would respond to all these arrangements.

Ian then took his brown leather jacket that was slung over the back of the sofa, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the fruit knife lying on the table.

For a moment, Ian was silent, but then he reached out to grab the knife before calmly tucking it into his jacket.

He didn't know why he was doing this, but maybe it was instinct.

There is nothing wrong with being on guard anyway, just in case something bad happens, and also he needs a weapon in case things don't go well.

Because after all, the people he was dealing with were not random people. They were the ones who had the intent to kill Ramon Tordoff!

How brave they are...

Ian then stepped out of the room and closed the door slowly.

After Ian left, the atmosphere in the room was quiet again and only Zia's breath could be heard.

However, it didn't last long, because a few minutes later Zia opened her eyes and looked around the room.

Silent and quiet…

She was finally alone...

Slowly, Zia got up from her bed and looked around, her gaze blank.

================ 

Aileen had just entered the hall of the hotel where the party was to be held and saw how magnificent and luxurious the decorations for tonight's party were.

Every inch of the hotel that she passed seemed to scream how much money was poured into creating such an atmosphere.

Not to mention the people who came, who seemed to be competing to show off how rich they were and how high their status was in society, especially in this city A.

Unknowingly, Aileen felt insecure with everything at the party, not to mention the invited guests who came.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was one of the representatives of the Tatum company, then she would not necessarily have received the honorable invitation.

It was also the same with the other two people from the Tatum company that came with her. They whispered about this quietly, but Aileen could hear them well, and it naturally ignited the flames of annoyance and jealousy toward Hailee.

How did that bitch get all these things? Aileen still felt that Hailee didn't deserve it.

"Keep your bearings in check," George said as he walked side by side with Aileen.

Hearing the warning, Aileen rolled her eyes. "Shouldn't I be the one telling you that?" said Aileen curtly.

Having said this, she walked away from George and disappeared into the sea of guests who were about to enter the great hall, where the main event and party were to be held.

But, not far from there, Aileen could see a familiar figure.

The figure of a man she had recently met. Who introduced himself as Leon Dawson. Not many people know about the Dawsons' first son, because he didn't run the family business, for which all the responsibility should fall on him.

But, what Aileen saw now was; Leon was talking to Lis Tordoff, Ramon's mother. What were those two talking about?

From the expression on Lis Tordoff's face, Aileen could even conclude that the two of them had known each other for a long time.

"You came at last."

Someone tapped Aileen's shoulder, leaving the woman quite surprised. Instinctively, Aileen turned around and found Giana standing beside her, looking elegant with a glass of red wine in her hand. "You…" Aileen hissed.

She wasn't too happy about meeting Giana at this point, but of course meeting this woman was inevitable, considering how important this event was and how high the status of the Dawson family was, despite the storm of gossip that swept through Giana and Aidan's marriage relationship.

"Who are you looking for?" Aileen asked after seeing Giana who seemed to be looking for someone. "Your lover is over there." Aileen nodded toward Dillon who was conversing with the men. "Or are you looking for your husband? He's there."

Aidan was not far from them, but the two men were certainly not who Giana was looking for.

Where is he?

From the moment Giana entered the great hall, she only noticed Lis and Lexus who were welcoming the guests. There's no way he wouldn't come, right?

================ 

"Is everything ready?" Ramon asked Marco through his cell phone, he could hear the sound of the waves crashing from the other side, indicating that Marco was somewhere near the beach.

"Yes, everything has been prepared and ready to get the ball rolling. Ian is here too," Marco told Ramon.

"Hm," Ramon mumbled with satisfaction and looked out of the car window. The street lights were on and the hotel building was visible. He'd be there in five minutes. "Report the developments if you find anything suspicious."

"Yes, sir," said Marco.

"Give Ian the phone," Ramon said.
