Hailee turned off her phone before Lexus got into the car, but not before saying something to the gatekeeper for a while.

“What now?” Hailee asked, her small face full of concern.

Hailee didn’t need much consideration in her plans this time, because thinking too much about it wouldn’t do anything good for her now. Sometimes words like; think less, do more, were very necessary and this was what Hailee want to do.

If Lexus couldn’t take her out, then Hailee would find a way to get out of this residence, tonight. After all, Ian would come to meet her in town A.

“Okay, let’s go now,” Lexus said with a happy smile.

Hailee was quite surprised when Lexus managed to get them out of the house fairly easily. “Is it true? Ramon agreed to let you take me out?”

“More or less,” Lexus replied, grimacing.

Actually what Lexus did was; he called Lis and briefly told what happened. Perhaps, the way Lexus phrased the situation might have been too much. He added that Hailee looked depressed after her fight with Ramon and Lexus would take her out for a while to get some fresh air.

Of course Lis could understand the turn of events, especially after finding out that Ramon did all that without telling Hailee first. Never mind Hailee, even she was shocked by the news.

Ramon previously changed his decision from an engagement ceremony to a wedding ceremony. And now, the originally planned private wedding banquet with only close confidants was revealed to the public, just like that.

Maybe something indeed went wrong with Ramon when the accident happened. Maybe Ramon should go for a follow-up and should be thoroughly diagnosed whether he really was capable of making up his own decisions.

Why was each of his decisions nowadays were so absurd and so far from his previous character?

“More or less?” Hailee frowned in confusion at Lexus, but the man just ignored her.

“You don’t need to know the details,” said Lexus as he restarted the engine. “We have to get out of here…” before Ramon realized that Hailee and he had left. However, Lexus did not say the last sentence out loud.

Ramon did have some influence, but Lis, as the head of the family controlling this household from much earlier than Ramon, after the death of their father, was naturally more respected by the servants and guards at the Tordoff residence.

However, Lexus would have to face trouble, the trouble named his brother’s ‘wrath’ when he got home later.

Well, he could think about that later, for now he just wanted to cheer up his future sister-in-law and also, Lexus didn’t want to look bad in front of Hailee because he had already promised her to take her out.

==============

Because it was late at night, Lexus decided to take Hailee to a bar to get her relaxed, maybe with a few drinks in her system, Hailee won’t look so upset anymore.

At least that was the only solution Lexus could think of, because that was what he always did with the women he went with.

“You’re old enough to go to places like this, right?” asked Lexus, as he parked the car and turned off the engine.

“Of course,” Hailee replied, removing the seat belt and opening the door.

Granted, Hailee didn’t go to places like this very often, but Ian did take her to bars a few times and Hailee would always stay close to her friend if she was going to places like that.

“Good then,” Lexus then got out of his car and stashed the keys in his pocket before walking beside Hailee.

It was at this time that Hailee saw the name of the place and remembered something about the Tordoff family, she got this information while looking for more details about Ramon Tordoff.

“This place belongs to the Tordoff company, doesn’t it?” Hailee turned her head to look at Lexus who chuckled and nodded as he put his hand around the girl’s shoulders.

“Let’s have fun, shall we?” Lexus said, rubbing off his cheerfulness and joy on Hailee, the girl laughed and felt more relaxed.

However, she reminded herself to contact Ian, to inform the man where he could pick her up.

==============

“She went out with Lexus?!” Ramon was furious when he received reports saying the gatekeeper at the Tordoff residence let Lexus go because Lis allowed them. “Where are they now?!” Ramon asked the person across the line.

And faintly he heard the person’s answer saying that he didn’t know.

Ramon’s face darkened immediately and he disconnected the line and started calling Lexus. This little brother of his really should be taught a lesson!

However, as if to inflame Ramon even further, Lexus turned off his cellphone. He knew very well the nature of his younger brother.

Lexus must have realized that Ramon was going to be angry, so he tried to avoid problems in this way. Although it was actually very ineffective, after all, at the end of the day, Ramon would found them anyway.

Angrily, Ramon called someone and when he left the house in a set of casual clothes and jacket, a driver was already waiting for him, opening the car door.

What Ramon wore this time gave him a different aura and his cold attitude only added to a mysterious impression that would make any woman go crazy.

However, no sane person would want to be the target of his anger this time.

He had to get Hailee and of course… the company, because Ramon had just learned something significant about the Tatum company and this made him even more ambitious to get full ownership of the company.

==============

“I’m going to the toilet for a bit!” Hailee shouted at Lexus who was whispering something to the woman beside him.

Lexus just nodded and returned to chatting with the woman. They were laughing and drinking, and laughing again and drinking more.

Until Lexus didn’t realize that Hailee had been away for a long time and didn’t come back from wherever she went.

Being a little drunk, he just realized this when he saw the figure of his older brother who was walking through the sea of ​​people dancing to the deafening music.

Instantly Lexus’s tipsiness vanished and he sobered up at the sight of his angry brother.

“Oh, Sh*t!” said Lexus to himself. How could Ramon find them so quickly?!

Ugh!

How troublesome to have an older brother like this!

“Where is she?” asked Ramon in a cold voice. Although his voice was not too loud and could still be defeated by the sound of thumping music, but somehow Lexus could hear Ramon’s voice so clearly, as if he was shouting just beside his ear.

“Hailee is in the toilet …” and then Lexus realized that Hailee had not returned. His face twisted under his brother’s intense gaze

Lexus was very predictable, therefore, from the expression he was currently making, Ramon could easily guess that something went wrong.

“Since when?” he asked.
