Chapter 483 YOUR BASTARD SON
Jayden managed to get what he wanted, data from the Gevano family company, but what was more important than that was; he got his hands on the confidential information of the dark business run by Theodore Gevano.
One of the reasons why Theodore Gevano had not yet given up his power and passed the ownership of his company to his children was because his two sons were completely unreliable.
Erick and Aska were two men who had absolutely no idea how to run a business. Even Jayden couldn't understand how Erick had managed to marry Alina before.
And how his extraordinarily brilliant and beautiful sister could fall into the hands of that stupid man.
Luckily, after the case that happened fifteen years ago, Alina immediately realized and kicked out the man who did not know himself and did not know any better.
"Seems like they're starting to notice," Apple said as she took a sip of her wine, because their mission was over and she almost got caught, so she needed a drink of alcohol to calm her tense nerves.
"Yeah, I noticed that," Jayden said, grinning happily, looking like he had something else to hide from this mission.
Apple furrowed her brows when she realized something.
"You deliberately gave them a hint that you were the one who had devised a plan to infiltrate Mr. Gevano's company firewall?" Apple asked doubtfully, but then once she saw the look on Jayden's face, she knew that her conjecture was true. "You're crazy," Apple hissed. "Are you deliberately trying to spoil your own plans?"
Jayden laughed. "They can assume, but they will never have any evidence to prove their assumption." Jayden shrugged nonchalantly. "Just leave them with their own thoughts."
Because as long as Theodore Gevano didn't have any concrete evidence regarding Jayden's involvement in the theft of his company's data, then Jayden's position would be safe, he wouldn't be able to be threatened just because Theodore suspected him. A suspicion factor alone without evidence was a ridiculous thing to use against Jayden.
And what was more, Theodore Gevano was unlikely to take this case to court based on his gut feeling alone, because after all, in any case, he could not win against Jayden in court.
Jayden held his ace.
"You're playing with fire," Apple said, taking another sip of her drink. This time, her body felt warm and all the tension she had previously felt was gone. She felt much better now.
"I'm a risk taker, so I'm used to playing with anything." Jayden rolled his eyes coquettishly at Apple, he noticed how the girl looked giddy when she was feeling tipsy and it was so cute in his eyes.
When tipsy like this, Apple looked much more relaxed when around him and also looked much cuter with her blushing cheeks.
But, of course the girl was conscious enough to pay attention to her surroundings and noticed that Theodore Gevano and his two bodyguards were walking toward them.
"Here we go…" she said softly, her voice crisp in Jayden's ears. "Your troubles are coming." Apple nodded at Theodore who was approaching them with a fake smile on the corners of his lips. Nodding occasionally at the guests who greeted him, Theodore actually looked very calm.
However, the look in his eyes couldn't hide the roar of anger that welled up inside him.
"This is gonna be fun," Jayden said cheekily and took the champagne glass from Apple's hand. "I still need you to stay sober."
Apple pouted her lips, but then, she blinked her eyes to regain consciousness.
"He looks displeased," Apple whispered.
"It's okay, I didn't plan to make him happy at all," Jayden chimed in.
On the other hand, Theodore walked toward Jayden and Apple with firm steps and stopped right in front of the two of them, while his bodyguards stopped slightly behind him.
"I haven't seen you in a long time," Theodore said, patting Jayden on the back. He did it to show his superiority.
It couldn't be denied, because after all, Theodore had been Alina's father-in-law in the past. And when that happened, Jayden was still very young, he was still in school.
But now that Jayden had inherited the family business, the attitude Theodore displayed was the most subtle form of contempt.
Apple stared intently at the hand that touched Jayden's shoulder. In her slightly drunken mind, she imagined breaking those fingers so this man would retract the mocking smile he was showing now.
It was really annoying to see.
"Yeah, that's why I came to visit you," Jayden replied lightly, he didn't seem to mind at all the attitude Theodore had shown just now. "This party was so much fun."
Theodore narrowed his eyes at Jayden, but the smile still didn't leave his lips. It was a sly and sinister smile.
"But, it seems you seeked other pleasures." There was a hidden meaning in this sentence.
Only, Jayden cleverly interpreted it differently. He glanced at Apple instead and pulled her closer.
"Oh, sorry about that. I just couldn't keep my hands off my girl so I did things I shouldn't have." Even though he apologized, there was no hint of regret in his tone.
Theodore clenched his jaw when he heard that. That wasn't what he meant, but since Jayden had already brought this up, he didn't mind continuing the topic.
"Looks like you'll be making headlines tomorrow morning," Theodore said. "I wonder what family this sweet lady is from, because I've never seen her before."
"She comes from an amazing family," Jayden confirmed and said it with aplomb, almost sounding like he was proud to own Apple.
And to Apple, that sounded really sweet.
"I wonder if Ramon and Hailee will accept a woman from a family that isn't your equal," Theodore said as if he was worried. "You should find a woman who matches you."
Hearing that, Jayden burst out laughing, even making the people around them turn their attention to him.
"If my parents could accept your son-of-a-bitch as son-in-law, what makes you think they'd turn down Apple?"
