It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 271

Aidan disconnected the line, he just got an update that the hype about Zia's issue was slightly toned down thanks to the news of Aileen Tatum and Theodore Gevano, where it was reported that they were already facing divorce even before people could learn about their shotgun marriage.

Of course this news shocked many people, and although the Gevano family was not as big as the Smith family, the drama surrounding the news proved to be able to distract the public from the Aidan and Zia case.

It was enough to leave people stunned because no one had received news of Aileen Tatum and Theodore Gevano's marriage, but as soon as the news broke, they were on the verge of divorce even though their marriage had only been going on for less than three months.

In the news it was also said that Aileen lied about her pregnancy, where she forced her way into the Gevano family by saying that she was pregnant with Theodore's child.

Aidan laughed when he saw the news article. Whoever did this, he wanted to give him credit.

Even though this wasn't worth the damage Aileen had inflicted on him, at least they were both stuck in the same hole.

It was a relief to know there were people out there who harbored the same hatred as he had for Aileen and were able to get their hands on inside information like this.

Of course, this new drama was a breath of fresh air for keyboard warriors who were dissatisfied with their lives and tried to bring down others with negative sentences that they could put together in a rude comment.

At least, after the tension of the past few weeks, the news about Aileen was good entertainment to keep himself sane.

The last few days have been really tiring, not to mention the divorce suit with Giana. But, all of that would end quickly, considering they both agreed to reject the consideration of being together again.

There's nothing that could bring them back together, even if it was just a pretense.

Aidan then took his cellphone which was on his bedside table. The 'discussion' with his father ended in some injuries and he had not called Zia to find out how she was doing after the photo was exposed to the media.

Only, Aidan couldn't call her, because the call was connected to voicemail.

================   

"So all of this is Aileen's doing?" Ian repeated Hailee's last sentence. The two of them were now in Zia's room and trying to calm her down.

And from the silence in the living room, it seemed that Ramon had also managed to make Diego get over the situation.

"I knew there was something wrong with that woman from the first time I met her," Ian muttered. He then gave Zia a glass of water, which she drank only a little.

"Where are you going?" Hailee asked worriedly as Zia got off the bed.

"Bathroom," she answered quietly with empty eyes.

"Can I accompany you?" Hailee volunteered because she was worried about her, but Zia shook her head. Of course, wouldn't going with fellow women still feel awkward? "Don't lock the door," Hailee advised, but Zia didn't answer and walked toward the bathroom with shaky steps.

After Zia closed the bathroom door, Ian turned his attention to Hailee, then spoke quietly. "I don't understand, you and your family treated Aileen very well, but why is she replying to you guys like that? It was as if hatred had completely overpowered her."

Hailee took a deep breath. It was the same question she often asked. What exactly went wrong? But, then Ramon told her one sentence, which was now Hailee's answer to Ian's question.

"When your heart is not good, you don't need a reason to hate someone," said Hailee.

================   

"You saw what that bitch did? You saw, right?" Rebecca sent a news article about Aileen to Theodore and immediately called him to make sure he saw the news.

Rebecca was beyond hysterical after reading the negative comments about her beloved son.

While on the other hand, Theodore didn't seem so concerned. "You don't need to pay attention to such news," he said, signing the documents in front of him again. "It's just a short piece of news that people will forget in the next few days."

Rebecca disagreed with Theodore's words and kept cursing and threatening to go and find Aileen to teach the woman a lesson for tarnishing their family's reputation.

"You don't need to do that mom, you don't need to see her," Theodore said in a tired voice, he had heard his mother nagging about Aileen from the very beginning of their marriage and after the woman's lies were exposed, the only thing Theodore had heard from her was her swearing and cursing.

It is very disturbing.

"Mom, if there's nothing else to talk about, I'll hang up the phone. I have a meeting I have to attend," Theodore lied, because otherwise he would hear his mother cursing Aileen until her cell phone battery ran out.

"Oh, alright, alright… Mom will…" Before Rebecca finished speaking, Theodore had hung up the phone and resumed his work, leaving his mother still upset and angry.

All of this was because of Aileen!

================ 

In the living room which was still a mess because Ramon asked all the servants standing there to step aside for a moment, including his bodyguards. And, even though David looked reluctant to leave Ramon, in the end, there were only Ramon and Diego there.

The two of them sat across from each other, amidst the rubble of shattered things with two cups of coffee between them.

Ramon pushed Diego's coffee cup toward him before taking a sip of his own.

"For the time being, news about Zia can be diverted, but this is only for a short time, because if more news about Zia is released later, then the public's attention will once again be on her," Ramon told Diego about the situation.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was silent, but in the end he muttered thanks to Ramon for what he had done for his daughter.

"This is not for Zia," Ramon rejected the reason for his kindness. "I'm doing this for Hailee."

Of course Diego understood and Ramon didn't need to explain it, but still Ramon explained it because he didn't want any misunderstandings.

Here he asserted that he didn't care about Zia at all.

"So, do you know who leaked the photos?" Diego grimaced as he admitted that the immoral photo was his daughter's.

"You know her," Ramon said slowly. "Aileen Tatum did this."

"What? Aileen?" Immediately Diego raised his head and looked at Ramon in disbelief.

But, before he could ask a question, they both heard Hailee's scream from inside Zia's room.
