Chapter 556 RESPECT GOES BOTH WAY

Have you ever met a woman for the first time and thought she is above everyone else just because she had money and status that mattered? And think that she is entitled to everything and has the right to decide what is and isn't a person?

Apple is dealing with one such type of woman right now.

When the woman didn't get the argument she needed from Apple and didn't even get the reaction she wanted, she became irritated at being ignored.

In her eyes, people like Apple should be grateful to just be able to talk to her.

Ugh! Apple didn't really understand the way these people think and of course this made her feel really sick.

"If you have nothing more to say, then I will go," Apple said lightly and was about to walk away from there, but the woman didn't want to let her go.

The woman felt insulted that Apple turned her body and was about to leave her before she finished speaking. She then reached out her hand to pull Apple back.

She didn't know what she would do, but what was certain was that the woman could not accept that Apple didn't give her any face. If anything, she should be the one who should act like that.

But, sadly, the one thing the woman didn't take into account was; Apple had pretty good reflexes and when she felt herself being in danger, her bodily reflexes took over before she could think long.

Thus, before she could reach Apple's arm, the girl had stepped aside and slapped her hand hard enough, causing the woman to lose her balance.

Had her husband not been there, the woman would have humiliated herself even more.

"What do you think you have done!?" exclaimed the man who now finally showed his emotions and stopped acting like a statue by just standing next to his wife.

"I don't like being touched carelessly," Apple said coldly.

"Who do you think you are, huh?!" The man seemed angry at what Apple did to his wife, and the woman smiled smugly at getting her husband's protection.

Hearing that question, Apple frowned. "Who do you think you are?" Apple actually asked the two people back with the same arrogant attitude and surprised them with her attitude which they thought was impudent.

"You are just a girl with no clear background! Don't expect you to get into the Tordoff family. With a girl of your background, it will only tarnish the good name of the Tordoff family!" the man cried vehemently.

Ouch! That's crazy…

Apple frowned. "You think since you are from the Tordoff family that you can just say bad things about me? Poor quality people are everywhere, even the Tordoffs and you prove that."

After saying that, Apple immediately regretted it, not because she was afraid that she would get herself into trouble, but because she shouldn't attract attention and spend the night like a ghost, without being noticed by anyone at all.

But, it had already come to this, and it felt like the wish she had would not come true. She had already drawn enough attention to herself even before entering the banquet hall.

"How dare you say that!?" The woman looked very angry, her voice sounded like a car screeching, hurting people's ears. After that, she grumbled about something that implied how inappropriate it was for Apple to be there.

The longer Apple heard her, the more hurt she felt, because she knew that what the woman said was true. Damn. She hated it when she started to feel that she wasn't enough.

"Jayden will only dump you once he has done playing with you and only then will you know your place," the woman exclaimed at the end of her shrill scream.

Meanwhile, Apple just listened to all the insults she hurled at her because she had no reason to cut her words and also found the words to defend herself.

"Why? You want to cry and go home?" the woman asked mockingly, smiling scornfully at Apple.

"Can you repeat that last sentence of yours?"

Apple almost jumped in surprise when suddenly she heard Jayden's voice from behind her. Apparently, the woman in front of her was not aware of Jayden's existence because she was too focused on Apple and so was her husband.

But, as soon as Jayden walked over, all attention was on him.

Behind Jayden, Apple could see one of the receptionists from earlier. Apparently, after seeing this commotion and how the woman treated Apple rudely, she ran into the resort villa to call Jayden directly.

Of course, hearing that Apple was in trouble at the front door was reason enough for him to leave the conversation he was having with some important people from the Tordoff family.

This is what Jayden tries to avoid, because he knows very well there will be some very entitled members of the Tordoff family with their surname that will cause trouble.

"What did you just say Aunt Hellen?" Jayden walked straight to Apple and hugged her waist, his eyes glaring at the woman he called Aunt Hellen.

His whole demeanor changed, Jayden looked very aloof and very dangerous now.

On the other hand, Hellen was a little surprised by how Jayden talked to her, because they didn't interact much and whenever she met Jayden, this young man always showed a bubbly and easy-going attitude, completely different from the attitude he was showing to her now.

"You don't have to act like that, Jayden, you have to respect people who are older than you," Hellen's husband, who is a distant relative of the Tordoff family and was lucky enough to have Tordoff's name behind his name so he could show it off to everyone, interjected.

"Respect goes both ways," Jayden said coldly and then glanced at the girl beside him. "You are worrying me, you are late."

"My phone's battery ran out," Apple mumbled, raising her completely dead phone in her hand.
