Chapter 634 DO IT NOW!

  "I heard you got a tip from your men regarding the delivery I'm about to make. Is that true?" Theodore's voice sounded a little harsh because he was annoyed with the way Jayden mentioned the history between him and Hailee.

  It was an old story, but it was still a sour spot for him, no matter how many times it was told.

  "Yes," Jayden answered lightly. He didn't even think about lying because he didn't find any benefit in trying to hide it after coming to this point. "So why did you call me?"

  "I called you just to let you know that your girlfriend is drinking wine with me." Theodore stared intently at Apple.

  One thing Theodore knew very well and also learned about the males of the Tordoff family was; they were very overprotective and loyal to their women. And now he knew that Apple was actually Jayden's fiancée, so of course, this girl was someone who was very valuable.

  On the other hand, there was no response for a while, but then Jayden grumbled. "She's not my girlfriend, but my fiancée," Jayden corrected him in a firm tone and then continued in a slightly louder voice, as if he knew that this phone call was set on speaker. "Apple, you can't drink when I'm not around!"

  Jayden had seen more than once how Apple behaved when she got drunk, so he had warned her not to drink when he wasn't around, because she could turn a hundred and eighty degrees and be bolder and reckless than usual.

  "I didn't drink," Apple grumbled under her breath. She frowned disapprovingly, but glanced at the wine glass beside her.

  "Oh, you're too controlling, Mr. Tordoff, what's wrong with a woman drinking?" Theodore chuckled meaningfully as he misunderstood Jayden's annoyance.

  "Oh, believe me, Mr. Gevano. I'm trying to save your ass from trouble," Jayden replied again and this answer made the smile on Theodore's lips instantly fade. "My fiancée and wine are not a good combination."

  "I heard what you said, Jayden," Apple said irritably. She looked at the phone held by Theodore with a slightly cynical look.

  Annoyed that the two of them were actually talking to each other and straying so far from the topic Theodore wanted to discuss, he then took control again and made it clear his main purpose in calling Jayden.

  "I want you to step back from this matter," Theodore said directly, without any further ado.

  "I don't understand what you mean," Jayden answered immediately.

  "You know what I mean, Jayden, don't play with me," Theodore said. "I want you to stop bothering me and my business."

  "You mean your illegal business?" Jayden asked again. He sounded very relaxed when discussing this topic with Theodore. "Why should I retreat when victory is right in front of my eyes?"

  "Victory?" Theodore repeated the words and snorted disdainfully. "What do you mean by victory? Don't you realize where your girlfriend is right now?"

  "My fiancée," Jayden corrected him again and this made Apple want to facepalm herself because they were in the middle of a serious conversation and Jayden didn't have to correct Theodore over and over about unimportant things.

  "You really are very funny, Mr. Tordoff. When you show how much you care about this woman's status in your life, you don't really sound panicked at all when your lover is in my hands." Theodore clicked his tongue.

  "What do I have to worry about?" Jayden asked, he didn't sound concerned at all.

  "I can do something to her and you should know that what I can do to her is something you can't imagine," Theodore said quietly in a threatening tone.

  "Really?" Jayden asked unenthusiastically. "I'm not sure you can do anything to her. She's not the kind of girl you're used to. It takes special skills to be able to handle my fiancée."

  Apple grimaced when she heard what Jayden had to say. The man was talking as if she was a wild beast.

  Theodore's face turned sour when he heard Jayden's way of speaking, this was far from what he thought. "Don't worry, I have a lot of guys who can handle this girl."

  "But, I guess there's no one in the room except you and my fiancée now, right?" Jayden asked casually.

  "What do you think you can do? Just so you know that your woman is in handcuffs and can't do anything right now."

  However, just a moment later, Theodore's eyes widened in surprise when he saw how Apple could open the handcuffs on her hands so easily with a small pen she had picked up on the table.

  "What's wrong Mr. Gevano? Is my lover in handcuffs now?" Jayden asked in a voice like he was holding back a laugh when he heard a gasp from Theodore. "Are you still okay?"

  Theodore felt like watching a slow motion scene in a movie when Apple demonstrated her skills in breaking free from the shackles of the handcuffs that bound her wrists and immediately grabbed the wine glass beside her and slammed it on Theodore's head.

  Theodore was not a fighter. Even when he was young, he never fought. He had his own bodyguards and was the son of a prominent family in L city, therefore, who would bother him?

  However, it became a weakness for him now, because at this moment, his old self was certainly no match for Apple. He was simply unable to put up a fight.

  "Handle me?" Apple frowned and glared at Theodore, who was now slumped to the floor with his head bleeding, because Apple rammed the glass in her hand against Theodore's head. "How dare you say you're going to let those guys deal with me in such a perverted tone."

  Apple then picked up the dropped phone and turned it off, but then she spoke into the earpiece attached to her ear.

  "Where are you now?" asked Apple and Jayden's voice could be heard from the earpiece in her ear.

  "I'll be there in five minutes," Jayden said. "Are you okay?"

  "Of course," replied Apple proudly, then she looked at Theodore who was staring at her in disbelief and that expression made her want to laugh. "Surprised?" she asked.

  Apple then tucked her hair behind her ear and showed a small object stuck in her ear. She had it from the start when Ivan took her away saying they had an extra photo session.

  "It seems you have to train your men better, Mr. Gevano, because they are completely useless," said Apple casually. "They are overconfident and it makes themselves look really stupid."

  His men would not have guessed that Apple had known of their plan in advance and thought that they had succeeded in executing a sudden ambush, so they would not have guessed that Apple had a communication device on her.

  They didn't even bother to check on her because they didn't think she was carrying any dangerous tools and had been prepared when they caught Apple.

  This was of course advantageous for Apple because she could communicate with Jayden along the way.

  Not only that, Apple's engagement ring, which was a heirloom of the Tordoff family, had a tracking device inside.

  This was done by Ramon at that time Hailee was kidnapped and until now, the tracking device was still in the ring.

  Jayden also informed Apple about this and she didn't mind it at all since it proved to be very useful in situations like this.

  "You'll have to reevaluate your people, Mr. Gevano," Apple said calmly. She then threw the handcuffs that she managed to open at Theodore who was still kneeling on the floor. His head, bleeding from being hit with the now shattered glass, got hit by a sharp edge of the tool aimed at him.

  Damn it!

  Theodore did not expect that this girl could open the handcuffs on her hands so easily. He never thought such a thing would happen.

  "Now call the people at the gate to let my fiancé in, because he wants to talk to you directly," Apple said as she held out the phone in her hand to Theodore.

  But, the man looked at her with hatred, as if he was going to kill Apple with his gaze alone.

  "No need to look at me like that," said Apple, waving the phone in her hand in Theodore's face. "Now call them or I'll kill you."

  Theodore snorted with hatred very evident in his eyes. "You wouldn't dare do that."

  Apple raised her eyebrows defiantly. She then pointed the sharp part of the broken glass, which she picked up from the floor, at Theodore's neck.

  "There are three deadly points around the neck that can make you lose a lot of blood and are difficult to help, you want to try to find out the truth?" asked Apple.

  From the communication device in her ear, she could hear Jayden clicking his tongue excitedly when he heard what Apple had to say.

  "Now, call your men and tell them to let Jayden Tordoff's men in." Apple again shoved the phone in front of Theodore's face. "I'm not kidding now."

  And this time, Apple made a scratch on Theodore's neck to show how serious she was about what she said.

  "Do it now," Apple said. "Don't you want to talk to Jayden Tordoff? Wouldn't it be better if you two speak face to face instead of over the phone and use me as a hostage?"
