Novel Bin Chapter 253: SHE WAS TRAPPED
Chapter 253: SHE WAS TRAPPED
Playing right in front of Aileen was a video of her and Hailee when they were both on the emergency stairs, it was the exact moment where she impulsively dropped her body from the top of the stairs in hopes that she could trap Hailee and fabricate Aileen\'s miscarriage.
But, who would have guessed that her plan wouldn\'t go according to what she expected and instead became a counterattack for Aileen herself.
"This…" Aileen stuttered when she saw how she had fallen from the top of the stairs. Her body trembled with anger as well as fear.
Aileen knew that Hailee would use the video to take her down, but not this fast and simply.
Aileen had been imagining that Hailee would use devious and intrigued ways to use the video as her final weapon, only sending the video to the Gevano family residence and letting them see it, seemed too trivial and simple.
However, facts said otherwise and it was indeed a simple thing that Hailee used to slowly destroy Aileen.
"I can explain this…" Aileen said without thinking, because right now her focus was on coming up with a solid reason to get her out of the complicated situation she was in right now.
"Then explain, I have all day to listen to your lies," Theodore said, looking relaxed, despite all the anger that was welling up in his chest.
It\'s not time yet. He had to make Aileen unable to move anymore and pay for everything she had done.
As Theodore looked back, his marriage to Aileen seemed absolutely ridiculous. If Aileen really wasn\'t pregnant, then Theodore didn\'t know what to do with this stupidity or what he should do to make the woman in front of him pay for her actions.
Theodore had several options to choose from, but he still hadn\'t decided which one was the best.
"You said you were going to explain this, then why are you playing mute?" asked Theodore casually, taking a sip of his tea while looking back at Aileen\'s pale face. This time he wondered, how could he love Aileen and be willing to do anything for a woman like this. "Explain to me."
Aileen was racking her brains, but couldn\'t find a proper reason to explain it and save herself, because the video was recorded from a point of view where it was clear that she dropped herself willingly.
Saying that Hailee had provoked her and made her do such a reckless act, wouldn\'t help her at all. Instead, the credibility of Aileen\'s story would be increasingly questioned.
What kind of words could make her willingly fall down the stairs and endanger her own baby? That\'s very unreasonable.
Therefore, Aileen remained silent, she looked everywhere around the room except for Theodore\'s eyes, but a few moments later, the silence between them made Aileen feel even more uncomfortable.
Thus, she decided to give Theodore the answer he wanted.
"Yes, I dropped myself," Aileen admitted her actions. "But I can confirm that our baby is fine and for the reason why I did that..."
Aileen didn\'t have time to finish her words when Theodore had raised his hand and asked her to stop talking.
"I want to make sure that your pregnancy is okay," Theodore said, then leaned forward slowly, looking very serious as he said again, "Let\'s get it checked out, I won\'t be at peace if I don\'t hear it myself from the doctor."
Immediately Aileen became defensive. She folded her arms across her chest and glared at Theodore. "Why do you care? Don\'t you want this child? I think you\'d be much happier if something happened to this baby."
Theodore snorted when he heard that statement. "Of course I care about the baby in your womb, because after all I am the father."
Aileen raised her eyebrows sarcastically when she heard those words. "Says the man who begged me to abort this pregnancy and left me alone in a pregnant state while on my honeymoon."
Aileen couldn\'t help but make this cynical comment because she felt the treatment and pretenses that Theodore and Rebecca were showing her were getting more and more intolerable. They were both very hypocritical.
Meanwhile, when he heard how Aileen commented on Theodore\'s treatment of her, the expression on the man\'s face changed slightly, there was a hint of embarrassment as he realized that his actions were completely inappropriate.
However, of course Theodore wouldn\'t back down like that, because he had everything planned.
"You don\'t have to bring that up and use your pregnancy excuse to corner me," Theodore said as he pressed the intercom button on the phone at his side. "Come in."
Aileen didn\'t really pay attention to who Theodore was letting in, but when she heard the footsteps of a few people behind her after the study door opened, her eyes widened, shocked by what she saw.
"How about we confirm your pregnancy first before we discuss the incident on the emergency stairs?" Theodore smirked when he saw fear flash across Aileen\'s face.
================
After receiving a call from Theodore, Hailee spent her time sitting in front of the television, in her room, eating whatever she wanted to eat, from chocolate, fruit to small cakes.
Somehow, she felt so lazy to do anything, even when her phone rang, Hailee took a little longer than necessary to answer it.
"Zia," Hailee greeted while stretching her stiff body.
"Hailee, you should know about this, because I\'m not sure Aileen will tell you this," said Zia hastily.
Hearing Aileen\'s name, Hailee immediately corrected her sitting position so that she could hear the news that Zia was about to convey more comfortably.
"What is it?" Hailee asked, a little worried.
"Aileen is planning to sell some of Tatum\'s shares to Giana, Giana Smith, Dawson, or whatever her name is now," Zia told Hailee hastily when she learned this news from Aidan. The man had his own ways of digging for information…
