It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 26 - A THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS

Ramon looked at Hailee with a calm expression, but his next words made Hailee a little anxious. "Tell me about your family."

"My family?" Hailee could feel her heart skip a beat and the intonation of her voice risen involuntarily. "What's wrong with my family?"

"You said it yourself, didn't you, if we could slowly get to know each other again, then this marriage would be more meaningful. Therefore, let's start with your family first," Ramon said in his voice that sounded a little hoarse.

This was the part Hailee didn't like. No. She didn't even prepared anything beforehand if Ramon ever wanted to know anything about her background.

Hailee didn't think about this beforehand. She should have expected this kind of question to come, sooner or later.

"How about you take your medicine first?" Hailee was now trying to buy as much time as possible. She then took a glass filled with mineral water and handed it to Ramon.

Seeing this movement, Ramon was still kind enough to take it and drink all the medicine Hailee had prepared for him.

He knew Hailee needed time to decide; whether she was going to lie or tell the truth, and Ramon had enough time and patience to see what choice this girl would make.

"So?" Ramon put the empty glass on the table when he had finished drinking all the medicine. Now he was back to his original position. Waiting for an answer from Hailee, he asked again, "Have I met your parents before they passed away?"

"No," Hailee answered honestly.

"Why?" asked Ramon in an investigating tone. It was certain that Ramon had never met Hailee's parents. The city of R, where Hailee's parents had business, was not Ramon's favorite city, so he didn't have many branches there.

However, of course Ramon's perspective might change if he see any benefits he could get if he was to control the diamond company owned by the Tatum family.

Hailee's claim to her family company was strong, especially when Hailee was the biological child of the Tatum couple. With the power that Ramon had, it was not impossible if he want to bring back Hailee's rights to her, which after marriage, of course the diamond company could be liquidated with his own company and it was certain that Ramon want to have full control over the company.

"Because you don't want our relationship to be known by the public," Hailee replied in an even tone. She tried to give an answer as neutral as possible and not trap herself into much more complicated situations.

"And do you know why I don't want our relationship to be made public?" Ramon emphasized this problem.

However, Hailee only shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know," she replied with an innocent face. "You never told me and you only said that you wanted our relationship to be kept a secret. I tried to know what your reason in keeping our relationship a secret, but to no avail."

"Not once did you ever ask what is the reason I kept this relationship a secret?" asked Ramon again.

"Of course I asked, but you know yourself, right? You're so stubborn. Even now, when you lost your memories from the past five years, you would agree with me that you are very stubborn when you have made up your mind." Hailee shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "So when you don't want to tell me, then I won't know anything."

Hailee placed all the responsibility on Ramon to solve his own questions using the man's amnesia as a shield.

Smart.

Ramon was quite surprised, but also interested when Hailee dodged the answer in such a way. The last thing Ramon wanted was to have a partner who couldn't read the situation well. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Even with Hailee's answer which meant he didn't got any useful information, Ramon was quite satisfied with her witty attitude.

"Then, tell me about your family," Ramon continued his series of questions.

"Hm,"Hailee muttered. She bit her lip as if she was contemplating. "Both of my parents own our family business," she replied without giving any specific details.

However, Ramon wanted things to be clear. "What kind of business and where?"

"It's just a small business and not very famous compared to your family's business. And this business is located in the city of R." There was nothing wrong with Hailee's answer, because after all, her family's business would not be comparable to that of the Tordoffs, which had branches in many cities and stretched into neighboring countries.

"Engaged in?" asked Ramon, although he already knew exactly what kind of business the Tatum family was in.

"Jewelry," Hailee replied curtly.

"When are you planning to go home? So I can arrange a schedule to meet your other family and talk about our marriage." Considering that both of Hailee's parents have died in a bizarre robbery case, the only possibility was to meet her other family members.

Hailee grimaced when she heard this, she looked uncomfortable and began to move restlessly in her seat.

"You don't have to do that," Hailee replied in a faint voice.

"Why?" asked Ramon. His eyes could not stop looking at Hailee with a gaze that was difficult to interpret.

"I don't have any other family members, they left when the business went bankrupt the moment my parents passed away," Hailee said in one breath.

Instead of saying that her family's company was taken over by her half sister and her father's younger brother, Hailee preferred to declare that the company was no longer in existence.

Let alone asking for her right back, she was even in the middle of protecting her life with her lies to the Tordoff family, not to mention the murder case she committed against Roland Dimatrio. Until now, Hailee was still afraid to watch the television news and be reminded of what happened to her that night.

Roland Dimatrio was a respected person, it was certain that the news of his death will fill every news channel, right?

"Okay!" Hailee patted her thigh and hurriedly got up. "I think that's enough for tonight. You've passed a lot of time without a break and even went straight to work when we just got home. Now, you must rest. We can continue this conversation another time. "

Then, without waiting for Ramon's approval or giving the man a chance to hold her back, Hailee immediately ran for the door and fled Ramon's room.

Hailee's room which was located right next to Ramon's room, made it easy for her to hide herself after the tense moment with Ramon earlier.

Hailee still felt her heart beat very fast. She just couldn't stop thinking, how could she involve herself in such a complicated situation?

Meanwhile, in his room, Ramon was talking to someone on the phone. His tone was so cold.

"I want a thorough investigation on Aileen Tatum."
