Chapter 355: AN INTERESTING PLACE
"Are you talking about feelings with ?" Hailee raised her eyebrows questioningly as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. A soft smile was tugged at the corners of her lips.
How could Aileen talk about feelings with her after what she did to Hailee? But then she rembered this was Aileen, the sa person who had planned the murder of her parents and also almost sold her off to Roland Dimatrio.
And recently, even though Aileen wasn't the main reason why she had a miscarriage, she still had a hand in it. In a sense, she was responsible for it all. Aileen, Giana and Axcel and the people who have helped them.
"You should have killed while you could," Hailee said coldly. Her tone sounded so dark and emotionless. Hearing it? made Pyro and the other three bodyguards wince unconsciously.
Oh, Hailee wasn't ssing around this ti...
"You bitch! You deserve it!" Aileen continued to berate Hailee shalessly and tried to struggle free from the grip of Pyro and one of the other bodyguards. She was raging like a madwoman and this forced Pyro to pin her to the cold floor, face down on the dirty floor with her hands twisted behind her.
But, that alone couldn't stop Aileen from berating Hailee and uttering curses that were even able to infuriate the n in the room.
"Argh!!! You wretch! Just die Hailee!" Aileen scread uncontrollably. She kept struggling and tried to kick Pyro or whoever was holding her down.
anwhile, almost everyone in the building ca out of their apartnts and tried to find out what was going on, but Hailee's bodyguards outside this room handled the situation quite well.
And after all, as soon as they saw the robust people in black suits, they imdiately backed off and didn't want to get into trouble that they couldn't possibly solve.
anwhile, Hailee didn't do anything while Aileen continued to scream like a madwoman until her voice turned hoarse. Instead, she just observed the narrow room which consisted of a bed, a television and a table, a rattan chair and a small wardrobe.
"Wow, I didn't know that you could endure living in a room like this, it's not like you…" said Hailee, amidst Aileen's screeching. She seed to have blocked all the deafening screams and continued to make comnts that made Aileen feel frustrated and angry.
"You bitch Hailee! Help! Help! She? will kill ! Help!" But, of course no one ca to help her. Most of the people around her flat, where Aileen lived, didn't even know she existed.
"You ate this for your al?" Hailee lifted an instant noodles packet and showed it to Aileen. "I didn't think you'd be able to swallow this kind of food." Hailee didn't even hide the mocking tone in her voice. She didn't hold back at all when she realized that what she was doing was only making Aileen angrier. In fact, the angrier she got, the happier Hailee felt.
Hailee then walked over to the small wardrobe and opened it, where there were only a few tattered clothes.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to wear these outfits as well," said Hailee. "I rember that you never wanted to wear unbranded clothes. Now that I think about it, you're too willful… asking for this and that even though you're not the biological child."
Hailee then stopped before Aileen's bed and looked at her adopted sister who was on the floor, she deliberately sat right in front of Aileen. And this made it look like Aileen was about to kiss her feet.
"But, it's true that the nature of parents affects the nature of their children, it was proven after I saw you." Hailee folded her legs in front of Aileen haughtily. "But do you know where George is now? He has been imprisoned for fraud in the company and murder of my parents."
Hailee smiled when she saw a surprised look flash across Aileen's face. That ant she hadn't heard any word from the outside world, which ant the next news Hailee was about to deliver would shock her even more, wouldn't it?
"And you're on that list too. Did you know that you too are a fugitive now?" Hailee asked slowly, enjoying Aileen's expression which turned frightened. But she still didn't stop the cursing that escaped her lips.
Not only that, Aileen even boldly spat on the floor, showing her disgust at Hailee.
"Ugh, you shouldn't have done that…" Hailee sounded disappointed and then she nodded at Pyro. "Don't you rember that mom and dad always said to clean up after the ss you've made yourself?"
Pyro then grabbed Aileen's hair and made her wipe her own spit with her cheek. Of course, this turned Aileen even more hysterical because she couldn't fight Pyro at all.
She could feel her own spit on her cheek and it was disgusting.
"Ugh, that's disgusting," Hailee said. "How do you feel? Are you still okay?"
This ti Aileen cried hysterically. She felt humiliated, aggrieved and frightened. Never in her imagination would she have thought that she would be treated like this, or live in a place like this.
How quickly the karma ca to her and Hailee retaliated by doing this to her.
Ti passed so fast and Aileen could no longer recognize Hailee.
Because the Hailee she rembered was the one who wouldn't do this to her no matter what. She was a sister figure who would laugh every ti Aileen said sothing funny, but would turn fierce when soone mocked that she was just an adopted child.
Hailee was soone who never got mad at her when she made a mistake. Haile also wouldn't say no or refuse when Aileen wanted sothing that was hers.
Even up to last year, Hailee was still spoiling her when their parents were alive. Always happily chattering with her, telling her what happened to her or listening intently to Aileen's words when she was advising her.
They were so close and intimate...
That was how Hailee used to be toward her. But now… Aileen couldn't see that shadow again in Hailee and everything had changed. Their relationship and circumstances have changed…
What Aileen had done had changed Hailee's sweet little sister persona and made her a completely different person. She was even smiling when she saw Aileen crying and hurting.
Aileen's inexplicable greed and jealousy made her take an extre step and now she had no turning back.
"Why are you crying? Don't cry," Hailee said, but even though her words were so gentle as if they were sympathetic, the smile on her lips and the twinkle in her eyes said otherwise.
"Hailee… I'm sorry, okay?" Aileen lowered her voice. "I'm sorry for what I've done…" Aileen sobbed, her tears making her voice hoarse and her tears blurring her vision. "I apologize…"
"You are apologizing to now? After what you've done?" Hailee then crouched right in front of Aileen, looking at her with an innocent face.
"Yeah, I regret it… I regret it… can't we just go back to being sisters like we used to be? I promise to make up for all my mistakes by being nice to you… please…" Aileen whined, begging for Hailee's rcy.
anwhile, Hailee tilted her head, looking at Aileen with a look in her eyes that was hard to decipher, as if she was thinking.
"But, it's not that easy… you're a fugitive, rember?" Hailee again reminded her of the fact. "I can't be nice to a fugitive."
"Hailee, Hailee, Hailee… please don't send to jail! I can't live there! I will die. I can't live in prison, please…" Aileen beca hysterical again. She couldn't imagine what kind of life she would lead behind those iron bars. "Give a second chance. I deserve a second chance…"
Hailee tilted her head and didn't say anything for a while, and this frustrated Aileen even more. She promised whatever she could say, even though it was impossible, but for her freedom she would give anything...
"Okay, I'll forgive you," Hailee said lightly. "But I have one request from you."
"Say, say, what is it? I will do it, I will do it." Aileen nodded her head to confirm what she said. "Whatever that is."
"Whatever that is?"
"Yes, whatever it is."
"Then return my parents."
Aileen's breath hitched at once. What kind of request was that? She wanted to curse Hailee back, but she held back and didn't want to make this woman in front of her angrier. This was her only chance.
"Hailee you know that there is no one who can do that..." Aileen again apologized to Hailee for her actions earlier.
"But, you said anything…"
"Anything Hailee, except that."
"Then my child," Hailee said in a toneless voice.
"Hailee, no one can do that… I know you're sad about losing your child, but I didn't touch you at all… I'm not the reason you lost your child…" Yes, Aileen didn't do anything to cause Hailee to miscarry, she was just being unlucky by being there.
"Oh, you're right." Hailee touched her chin while nodding. "Then you can't do anything for , there's nothing you can offer."
Hailee then stood up.
"Hailee, I don't want to go to jail, please…" Aileen pleaded to her shalessly with tears on her eyes. She was scared.
"Oh no, you're not going to jail," Haile said cheerfully. "I'll take you to a much more interesting place."
