It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 633

Chapter 633 YOU CAN'T DRINK!

After a tiring two-hour drive and Apple eventually falling silent with boredom, they had finally arrived at a place Apple didn't expect at all.

This was a residence of the Gevano family, one of the houses they own in the city.

During the past fifteen years, this family had experienced very rapid development and it could be said that their business was growing very well, even the price of their company's shares on the stock market continued to increase, making them one of the best companies in the country.

Who would have thought that they were doing dirty business like now?

"Hm… one of the Gevano family residences…" Apple muttered quietly. Then the door opened and she was invited to get out of the car. Of course these people guarded Apple closely, even though she was in handcuffs and there was no way to escape.

They really treated Apple with 'care'.

After Apple got out of the car, she was immediately taken into this spacious and big house. They passed several rooms that looked very luxurious and arrived at the study which was on the left side of the corridor.

"Go in, Mr. Gevano is waiting for you inside," said one of the men. He opened the door for Apple, holding it until she stepped into the room.

Apple took two steps, but then she stopped and faced the guard and said in a toneless voice, as if she was bored right now.

"Don't you want to open the handcuffs on my hands? You don't think I can escape from here, do you?" said Apple, staring at the man holding the door for her with an emotionless face.

"No," he answered simply. "I'm not going to open the handcuffs. I know you well."

Apple raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had never heard anyone say that they knew herself well.

But, before she could say anything, the man had pushed her into the study and closed the door behind her.

"Huh? This is so uncomfortable…" Apple muttered as she stepped into the office. Even though she was in handcuffs at the front, still, this cold and slightly rough iron bit into her skin uncomfortably.

"Sorry if this makes you uncomfortable," said a voice that sounded very gentle and fatherly.

Apple turned around and saw an old man with almost all white hair walking toward her. He placed the book he was reading earlier on the table and walked over to Apple without any hesitation.

This room was an office space that housed a lot of books. On one wall, there was a bookshelf that almost touched the roof and was filled with all kinds of business books and so on.

While on the other hand, there were several weapons displayed. Apple knew they were antiques and collectibles.

While behind this man there was a large table with a leather chair, which Apple assumed was his work desk.

While in the middle of the room, there was a circular sofa. Seemingly, it was for guests.

"Please have a seat," Theodore said, extending his hand toward the sofa, as he walked over to it and sat down first. He then waved his hand at the sofa in front of him and smiled at Apple. "Sit down, we'll talk."

However, Apple was too stubborn to comply with the old man's request, so she preferred to just stand where she was.

"You are so stubborn…" Theodore said quietly, but a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "It's okay, if you want to stand up, too. You can do whatever you want."

Apple scoffed at the statement. "Free to do what I want? You are saying that while my hands are bound," she said with a low laugh. "You're very funny Mr. Gevano."

Theodore laughed when he heard the statement from Apple. "I've studied you well, Apple. I know who your father is and how capable you are." He then winked at Apple. "I also know that you and Jayden have stolen confidential data from my company at a party a while ago. So don't tell me you're harmless just because you're handcuffed, because I wouldn't believe that."

Apple gave Theodore a small smile and started to walk around the large room, where Theodore watched her every move.

"You really are a girl who is hard to predict, you can even win the heart of Jayden Tordoff." Theodore then tilted his head and looked at the ring Apple was wearing. "I know the ring very well and now it's on your finger."

"Why? Do you like this ring?" asked Apple, she then stuck out her middle finger. "Oops, wrong finger." She then lowered her middle finger and raised her ring finger for a moment and smiled sweetly at Theodore, as if she had not insulted him a few moments ago.

"You're very funny and interesting," Theodore said. "No wonder Jayden likes you. The Tordoffs do have good taste in choosing women."

"I will take that as a compliment." Apple then walked over to Theodore's desk which was tidy and there were no piles of documents or sheets of paper there, it seemed he was prepared for this, so he didn't give any clues that Apple could see.

But, then Apple took a small pen from the table and hid it in the inside of her palm, but of course she did it all very smoothly without evoking suspicion in Theodore.

"So, what are you going to ask?" asked Apple. She then turned around and faced Theodore, walking toward him, but still refusing to sit with him.

"Actually, I just wanted to talk to you." He then leaned his back against the back of the sofa and just then someone knocked on the door.

The person only stepped in after being allowed by Theodore and was a maid in this house who brought two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine along with two plates of snacks.

"I thought I was going to be interrogated and not asked to drink like this," Apple said sarcastically. Who would be a fool to drink at a time like this?

"Not really, I just said I was going to ask you a few questions." Theodore waved his hand and ordered the maidservant out, leaving the two of them alone.

Theodore then stood up and opened the cap of the wine bottle that the woman had brought, taking it from the steel bucket which had been filled with ice.

"You must be crazy to think I'd drink with you." Apple then sat down on the corner of the table, not far away from him, still refusing to sit on the sofa Theodore pointed out.

"I expected it, but I will still treat my guests well."

"Why don't we just get to the heart of the matter? Didn't you manage to bring me here? So what do you want?" asked Apple. "You're just wasting your time."

"Not really." Theodore poured red wine into a glass and handed one to Apple. Which she took, but didn't drink. She just sat it down by her side, while she was still sitting on the corner of the table. "Do you still not understand what I am planning?"

Apple tilted her head and stared at Theodore for a moment before she shook her head.

Then, without taking his eyes off Apple at all, Theodore took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number. He even put the call on the speaker so Apple could hear it too. You could hear a dial tone for a while before someone finally picked up the phone.

"Jayden Tordoff," Theodore said, staring at Apple at the mention of the name, trying to engage her reaction.

However, the response given by Apple was just a raised eyebrow. She didn't look very surprised.

Meanwhile, from the other end of the phone, Jayden didn't respond right away, there was a momentary pause before Jayden's voice could be heard.

"Oh, Theodore Gevano, right?" Jayden said from the other line. "What a surprise you called me. Is there something you want to talk about?"

"How are you?" Theodore smiled when he heard Jayden's voice and then took a sip of his drink.

There was a grunt from the other end of the phone and this made Apple chuckle. She could imagine the look on Jayden's face now, especially when she heard what this man said next.

"Can we talk straight to the point? I bet you don't really care about my health. The feeling is mutual."

Hearing that, Theodore's eyes turned hard and he looked like he was about to throw a fit, but in the next second, he was able to control himself and spoke in an even tone to Jayden.

"You really have no manners in speaking, young master Jayden." Theodore sighed. "Your parents must be very disappointed."

"Really? I don't think so," Jayden asked, then he chuckled softly. "I don't think this is the first time my parents have let you down. Especially my mother. You must be used to being let down by her by now, right?"

Jayden intended to poke fun at Theodore and Hailee's past, where the man still hoped to get together with his mother, even after several years of her marriage.

Hearing that, Theodore lost his cool and now he spoke straight to the heart of the matter. "I heard you got a tip from your men regarding the delivery I'm about to make. Is that true?"

"Yes," Jayden answered lightly.

"I called you just to let you know that your girlfriend is drinking wine with me."

There was no response, but then Jayden grumbled. "Apple you can't drink when I'm not around!"
