It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 300

Giana hid behind a wall in fear after she heard gunshots consecutively several times. Her body trembled with fear which made it difficult for her to move her feet away, therefore she could only stand frozen, unable to go anywhere.

At first Giana came to this area, which was a bit far from the main hall, where the party was taking place, because she saw Leon and Ramon walking in this direction.

Giana had seen Leon earlier, but since her uncle was talking to Lis and Lexus, she didn't go any closer.

It's just that, after Ramon came, the two of them actually left together.

Giana couldn't recall if Ramon knew Leon so personally that the two of them could talk one-on-one in another room privately, even though the party was going on and Ramon, as the host of the party, shouldn't be there.

But, what Giana saw and heard just now, really stunned her.

When the lights went out, she heard a fierce fight, then the sound of a door being smashed, followed by several gunshots, and now it sounded like a battlefield.

Giana's hidden position allowed her to hear the whole incident quite closely and without being noticed by others.

What really happened? Is Ramon all right?

Giana couldn't help but worry about that man…

================ 

Pyro brought Hailee back to the house and asked her to lock the door to her room, until he gets the situation under control.

Hailee wasn't allowed to open the door unless Pyro asked for it. And to calm Hailee, Martha also stayed in the room.

Now the two women sat in silence, in the spacious room, trying to catch any sound that could tell them what was really going on outside the house.

However, the atmosphere was very still and a little tense, but perhaps this was a good sign, as it would mean that gunfire did not occur and the assailants did not manage to enter the Tordoff residence.

Pyro will do everything to keep Hailee safe.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the house, in one of the cars trying to break through Tordoff's guarding barricade, Aileen sat silently in the back seat shaking with fear, seeing how brutal the people who came with her were.

What are they doing? Breaking into the Tordoffs' house? Are they so crazy to dig their own grave?!

Aileen couldn't understand how they dared to enter the Tordoff residence by force.

She couldn't imagine what Ramon would do if he found out about this. George's recent tricks, which infuriated Ramon, had thrown things into chaos at the company and put George's position at stake, therefore, if something of this magnitude were to happen and they actually broke into Tordoff's residence, then Aileen couldn't imagine the consequences she would have had that horrible man find out about her involvement.

"What do you want… in this place?" Aileen stuttered while questioning Leon's two henchmen, who were talking through their earpieces, plotting to break into the huge gate.

"Shut up you damn woman!!!" exclaimed one of them in annoyance and made Aileen's guts shrink.

Aileen was afraid that if she spoke more than this they would be very annoyed to respond and shoot her instead.

Thus, when the man behind the wheel backed his car and tried to crash it into the gates of the magnificent Tordoff house in hopes of knocking them down, Aileen could only hug herself, preparing for the next impact.

This is a nightmare. Really bad.

If she knew it would turn out like this, then Aileen wouldn't want to be told to get into the car or follow Leon's words.

Aileen had to say that Leon's plan was too direct and nothing like what he told her before.

================ 

Ramon pulled Leon and used him as a shield, while he stood behind him. And  Leon's body couldn't cover Ramon's sturdier and taller body, but with a gun pointed at Leon's temple, it was far from enough for Ramon to hold off the three people who barged into this small meeting room.

While the other three had been dealt with, being knocked down to the floor, covered in blood after getting shot from Ramon's gun.

"You think you can get out of this situation?" Leon chuckled, he laughed mockingly at Ramon who was cornered. Meanwhile the light facilitated the last three people to take off their infrared red glasses, which allowed them to see in the dark.

"You think you'll still be alive if they make a reckless move?" Ramon smirked, he knew what he was doing and what he said was true.

Because a few moments later they heard the sound of footsteps and the three people looked panicked, they turned their bodies around and aimed their weapons at the eight people who came.

Instinctively, they turned their backs on Ramon because the number of people who had arrived was far greater.

But, it was a fatal mistake on their part. Because after their guns had shifted elsewhere, Ramon unhesitatingly pulled the trigger and put the bullet in the back of the head of two of the three, one by one.

And when the third person briefly shifted his aim and intended to shoot Ramon, he was strafed by three bullets from the three bodyguards, which were released simultaneously.

It happened so fast that all three fell to the floor with fatal gunshot wounds, rendering them unable to move anymore.

"Mr. Tordoff, are you all right?" asked one of his men who immediately entered the boardroom, after the situation was safe.

After the situation was secured, Ramon immediately pushed Leon away from him, as if by touching this man any longer Ramon would contract a disgusting disease.

"Take care of things here," said Ramon coldly, he then stepped outside and saw David who had just woken up and staggered to his feet. The man seemed to have just survived a bullet aimed at him.

There was a bloody scar on his temple from the missed bullet as well as several bruises.

"Mr. Tordoff," David called when he saw Ramon walking past him, rushing over to his boss while shaking his head, as if that way he could regain his consciousness more fully. "Are you okay? I am sorry, I…"

"Go to the hospital," said Ramon curtly. He didn't stop. "And get your wound checked."

"My wound is fine," said David hastily. Then his eyes caught the bloodstain on Ramon's upper arm, barely visible because of the dark colored clothes Ramon was wearing. "You hurt your arm," he said worriedly.

"Just take care of things here," said Ramon.

"But, I…" David felt disappointed in himself with Ramon's response.

"Make sure Lexus and my mom are okay." Ramon cut David's sentence again.

"Fine," David replied immediately and stopped running after Ramon. He cursed himself for his poor performance. How could he have passed out in such a precarious condition?

He thought that Ramon was acting like that because he had failed to protect him, but what he didn't know was; currently nothing else crossed Ramon's mind except Hailee.

Leon's words were bothering him a lot.

However, just as Ramon was walking, half running, down the corridor with several bodyguards in tow, someone jumped in front of him.

Reflexively, Ramon drew the gun at his waist, the same gun he used to shoot Leon and kill five others.

The eight bodyguards behind him did the same.

"Ramon…" Giana gasped when she saw the nine guns pointed at her, ready to fire.

Seeing that it wasn't an enemy, Ramon lowered his gun and was about to run toward the back exit again. But once again, Giana got in the way.

"Ramon, where are you going?" she asked, tugging on Ramon's arm.

However, unexpectedly, Ramon again aimed his gun at Giana, until the cold barrel stuck to her forehead, making the woman freeze.

"Stand in my way one more time, and I will kill you," growled Ramon coldly, even the bodyguards who saw Ramon now shuddered at the anger in his eyes.

================ 

Lexus and Lis refused to be taken into a safe place when the blackout occurred, as it was unlikely for them to leave their guests and save themselves. This would be very bad and would damage the image of the Tordoff family.

How could the event's host not be on site and secure themselves when something happened in their event?

And if Lexus and Lis weren't around and the guests knew they were being escorted into a safe place, then of course there would be panic, negative assumptions would start to spread, and tonight's events wouldn't be discussed with just the usual blackout topic.

Maybe it is the wrong way of thinking for some people, but there are things that must be prioritized.

"Where's Ramon?" Lexus asked one of the bodyguards when the lights finally came back and Lis was with the guests, talking about this and that.

"Mr. Tordoff has returned home," replied one of the bodyguards, he couldn't lie to Lexus because he wasn't told the details of the next order on what to do.

"Back home?" Lexus frowned when he heard this. "Why did he go back?" If Ramon went home now, then he didn't show himself at this party at all. Then what about the welcome speech from him later? And the part of the event that required him to be here?

"Looks like there's urgent business," he replied.

"What urgent business?" The only thing Lexus could think of was Hailee. Because that woman is the only one in the house now. Did something bad happen to Hailee?
