Chapter 19: AFFAIR

Ramon looked at Hailee who had walked up the stairs to the second floor, to where her room was located. Then turned his attention back to Danny.

"We'll talk about this in my study," said Ramon as he walked towards his office which was located not far from there.

Danny followed Ramon, but once again he stared at the second floor, watched as Hailee's figure disappearing into the corridor. He could not understand why Ramon would still allow this woman to be around him, even after what he suspected was proven true.

After entering the room, Ramon sat on his chair while Danny sat opposite him.

Danny was Ramon's right hand man as well as a classmate from Lexus's school, but it could be said that the two of them don't get along well with each other. However, taking Danny's performance and loyalty into account, of course this couldn't affect anything.

"Is all this evidence valid?" Ramon started to open the brown envelope which contained all the information about Hailee.

"Yes, I have already cross checked it," answered Danny.

The first thing Ramon read about was Hailee's family background. It states that she was the second daughter of a well-known diamond business couple in the city of R, Giorgio Tatum and Diana Tatum.

"Both of her parents died about a month ago because of a robbery that occurred at her house?" Ramon raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

There was no way the level of security in the house could be so low.

A successful businessman was killed in a robbery attempt at his own home was an almost unheard of case, unless there was some dirty play behind it.

"It does sound very strange." Danny crossed his arms over his chest as he explained. "I've asked someone to find out more about the case, but it looks like the case has been closed as the three culprits have been caught. No further investigation. "

A grin appeared on the corner of Ramon's lips when he heard this. Of course the abrupt closing of the case makes this matter even more suspicious. "Investigate further on this matter."

Danny had expected Ramon to give him this order, so he had prepared it in advance. "Investigations on this are already ongoing, but there is still no concrete evidence of the involvement of a third party. I will update you on this matter. "

Ramon nodded in agreement and refocused on the information in his hand. "She has an older sister ..."

"Adopted daughter," answered Danny. "The Tatum couple had no children even after a few years of their marriage, so they adopted Aileen to be their daughter when she was five years old."

"Orphan," murmured Ramon.

"Yes." Danny nodded. "A year later Hailee was born."

"Hmm." Ramon leaned his back against the back of the chair while studying the information in his hand.

Even though Ramon didn't really know the Tatum family, but as someone who was in the same circle, of course Ramon had heard of their names. After all, this family was quite a respected one.

But, why was Hailee in town A and she seemed to want to escape from her hometown? Does this girl know anything about the deaths of her parents?

"After the death of their parents, Tatum's company fell in to Aileen Tatum hands?" Ramon found this completely absurd as it increased his suspicions further more. "And Hailee has a fiancé ... Theodore Gevano."

Ramon knew about the Gevano family quite well. They were business rivals of the Tordoff's family branch company located in the city of T. However, Ramon knew no further details about their personal lives.

"Yes and now Theodore Gevano is in a relationship with Aileen Tatum, although this has not been published and their relationship is only known to their immediate family, but some people say that Theodore and Aileen have been in a relationship even when Theodore Gevano was still in a relationship with Hailee Tatum. " Danny frowned. "It looks like this family is very messy."

Ramon said nothing more and spent the next ten minutes studying the information in his hands, before he finally put it all down and started talking again.

"Then what did they say about Hailee's disappearance?" Ramon propped his chin on top of his fist that rested on the armrest of his chair. He looked cold and untouchable, a man with a serious expression who had a dominant aura.

"News says Hailee is continuing her education abroad, as well as calming down after losing her parents, and Aileen along with their father's younger brother, is running the company now." Danny explained. "In my opinion, don't get involved with this family, they sound like they are a lot of trouble to deal with." Danny expressed his disapproval.

However, Ramon had other plans. "City R…" murmured Ramon as he tapped his fingers on the table. "It would be very profitable if we could take advantage of this marriage to take over the Tatum Diamond company."

Danny was shocked and wanted to say something, but restrained himself. He should have guessed Ramon's plan. "But, what about Hailee? She's not your real lover ... "

After Ramon was reminded of this, his face became colder than before. "You told me that Giana Smith is my real lover?"

Danny nodded. "That's what you told me before you got into an accident," he replied.

"But, Giana Smith is Aidan Smith's wife? And they have been married for three years?" Even Ramon himself couldn't digest this news. Himself having an affair with another man's wife? How could it be?

But, that's what Danny told him.

"Yes, you've been in a relationship with her, for the past two years," Danny said. He himself was surprised to learn this. "I've been investigating, but it's very difficult because you are so secretive about this."

Of course Ramon would keep this a secret if he actually had an affair with someone else's wife.

Ramon narrowed his eyes as he stared at the papers which contained information about Hailee.

It makes perfect sense that Ramon would also keep this a secret from Lis and Lexus. The two of them will certainly not agree with Giana.

"Then what happened to the accident I had?" Ramon gritted his teeth. Why is he so careless that he has an affair with Giana? Or was all this just a misunderstanding? And Giana wasn't the lover Ramon had been hiding all along?

The only way to know that was to regain his lost memory.

"I'm still investigating this. Looks like the accident you experienced is not an ordinary accident, "said Danny. "Then what about Hailee? Are you still going to marry her? "

Ramon raised his head and smiled at Danny, a smile that was much scarier as if Ramon had gone mad. "Of course I will marry her and get the Tatum company."

"Then Giana?"

Ramon shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I don't even remember her at all."
