A heavy slap landed on Hailee's cheek and sent her head spinning. The intense pain forced Hailee to curl her lips hard to prevent herself from screaming in pain.
Hailee didn't want to give Aileen that satisfaction, letting the latter see that she had succeeded once again, in hurting her.
"You think you can slap me carelessly?! You are no longer part of the Tatum family! You know that?!" exclaimed Aileen. "I am the heir of our parents! And don't you ever say Theo's name with your mouth!"
Hailee didn't give any reaction when Aileen bashed her like that, but once she had finished screaming and was panting to control her emotions, Hailee lifted her head and Aileen saw a look she had never seen on Hailee's face before.
It was a gaze full of hatred, very cold and filled with rage, and if Alex loosened his grip on Hailee's hand, then this girl would pounce on Aileen without a second thought, brutally lunging at her.
