It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 336: A WARNING

"I think you've seen the video," said David. "And I'm guessing you're not going to watch it all the way through."

David's words were like a bolt of lightning to Axcel. His anger and embarrassment about the video of himself that he had just seen was now replaced by fear.

Even as he replied, his voice trembled. Whether it's because of fear, or panic. To be sure, he didn't like the video he saw or this call from David.

"What… what do you want?" asked Axcel. He really wanted to either end the call or slam the phone down, just like he did with his laptop.

However, it's a shame he couldn't do that, Axcel didn't know what Ramon would do to him if he acted like a willful young master.

"Mr. Tordoff doesn't want anything from you." Answered the voice from the other end of the line. "Not yet," David added in a meaningful tone.

Hearing that, Axcel could only clench his jaw and close his eyes, hoping this would be over soon.

Damn that Ramon! He recorded all of it!

"Are you going to threaten me with this video?" asked Axel. His hands were clenched tightly at his sides. "You're going to threaten me to do what you want with this video?" he asked again. Emphasizing every word he said.

"Should I threaten you with the video?" David asked again. "Didn't you say that you would help catch Leon yourself?"

Axcel gritted his teeth. His anger made his body tremble. "Don't mess with the video."

"Is that a warning?" he asked. This time his voice was much more serious and deep as he continued again. "Are you trying to warn Mr. Tordoff through me? I think he will gladly accept this report."

Axcel held his breath to control his erratic emotions and replied to David's words in a much calmer voice. "No, I didn't mean that," he said.

David laughed when he heard him. "There's no need to be afraid. I just called you to make sure you got the video. You know, right? Sometimes the goods you send don't arrive at the recipient's address properly."

It was a mockery, a ridicule.

If the video fell into other people's hands, of course this would not have any effect on Ramon Tordoff, but it would have an uncontrollable impact on Axcel.

His career and family name had been ruined when his father went to jail, but that didn't mean he wanted to ruin his life even more with a video like that.

"Okay, now that you've got the video, that spells no additional problems," David said lightly and prepared to hang up the call as he said, "Get ready, you'll be needed soon enough."

With that, the line was disconnected and now Axcel really threw the phone in his hand until it hit the wall and the small object shattered into several pieces.

It was only moments later that he remembered that he had to be on stand-by to receive further orders from Ramon Tordoff, which meant he had to get a new phone…

Fuck! Everyone's a jerk!

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

Hailee was still curled up in her bed as Ramon prepared to go out and finish his business. But first, he approached his wife and kissed her forehead gently.

"Good morning," said Ramon when Hailee opened her eyes. Those beautiful eyes didn't emit the same joy as they used to and it seemed like it would take a lot of time and effort to bring back the cheerful look in Hailee's eyes that he had always loved.

"Morning," Hailee replied. She then pushed her body up into a sitting position with Ramon's help.

"Are you still feeling sick?" Ramon then rubbed the bruises on Hailee's cheeks which already started to fade a little. Hailee's other smaller wounds have now disappeared.

"No, I'm fine now," Hailee said. She then looked around her room which felt empty. If Ramon left then she would? be all alone here. "I want to go home."

"Stay here for a few more days." Ramon wanted to make sure Hailee was completely healthy before taking her home.

Actually, there's no problem with Hailee's health, she just needs some rest. Also, Hailee's weakness and helplessness had nothing to do with her previous injuries, but it certainly had something to do with the invisible wounds she suffered.

"No, I want to go home," Hailee insisted. Then she remembered something important, which she often forgot to ask. "What about Martha?"

Hailee knew that there was a traitor in her bodyguards, which caused her to be taken away from the Tordoff residence, but she forgot to ask how the housekeeper was doing after trying to save her.

"Martha is fine, just a little shocked, because someone beat her unconscious, but other than that she's back to work," replied Ramon.

"Good," Hailee mumbled. "Then what about Pyro?" she asked for the head of her bodyguards because she had not seen Pyro after she was rescued.

Ramon went silent for a moment, then answered by shifting Hailee's focus. "I'll introduce you to your new bodyguard."

Hailee narrowed her eyes when she heard that. "What happened to Pyro?" she insisted on knowing the answer.

Ramon sighed deeply because he knew he wouldn't make it past the question and Hailee wouldn't stop until she got the answer she wanted.

"I fired him," said Ramon curtly.

And Hailee's reaction was exactly what Ramon had expected.

"You fired him?" Hailee frowned and threw Ramon a look of disapproval. "Why did you fire him?"

"Because he has failed in choosing the bodyguards to protect you and also especially because he has failed in protecting you." Ramon didn't want his decision to be questioned and he wouldn't change it no matter what Hailee said.

Or at least that's what Ramon has determined…

Hailee backed away from Ramon and folded her arms across her chest, and for a moment, her eyes lit up with life. "I want him back."

Ramon raised his eyebrows. "Mrs. Tordoff, don't you realize you're asking for another man in front of your husband?"

Hailee rolled her eyes at Ramon's comment which she thought was unreasonable. "Ramon, really?"

"Am I no longer the jackpot to you?" asked Ramon in a hurtful tone.

Hailee then pulled Ramon and kissed his lips quickly. "Now, give Pyro back to me."
