Chapter 495 FARAWAY PLACE
The Gevano family was well known for their shipping business, which they misused for every possible inhumane purpose. Lots of people were outraged by the news and admired Jayden for revealing this case by presenting data and also quite valid evidence.
Apple could only watch the progress of the case as she drank her milkshake and snacks, stretched out on the couch with an account full of money.
But… "I'm bored…" Apple complained.
=======================
"I'm bored..." Jayden complained as he threw a document from in front of him and then turned his attention to Pyro. "Can't you do anything else apart from just standing there looking at me like that? Apple always has interesting topics to argue about."
Actually they weren't arguments, maybe more like fights if the two of them had different opinions.
"You're no fun at all," Jayden muttered to Pyro.
"I'll call Misha then, to make your day more pleasant." Pyro took his phone out of his jacket pocket with an annoyed face that he had to listen to Jayden's endless complaints.
"Forget it, I don't need him to ruin my mood even further." Jayden then closed his eyes. "Did Apple not ask you anything why I didn't call or contact her?" he asked at last.
"No, she looks just fine," Pyro replied, taking a delicious sip of his coffee. "I think she's forgotten about you."

But, in reality, after a week had passed, Apple had not contacted him at all and it was as if the two of them had never known each other.
"What's your plan by not contacting my daughter after what you said and did to her?" Pyro sighed heavily. If only Apple showed any signs that she was feeling uneasy or sad because of what Jayden did, then Pyro wouldn't be this calm and would be making calculations with Jayden because he had toyed with his daughter.
But in fact, Apple didn't care at all and Pyro could see that whatever plans this young man had, were not going well at all.
Jayden looked restless and asked him several times for Apple.
"I don't have any plans." Jayden then walked across his room and sat beside the sofa Pyro was sitting on. "I just wanted to try out one theory I've read about."
"What theory is that?" What strange book did this young man actually read?
"There is one sentence that I want to prove true."
"And that sentence is?"
"When you are far apart your heart will feel empty, that's when you realize that you need each other."
For a moment, Pyro didn't respond to the quote, but then his laughter echoed through the office and made Jayden frown.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You think that if you suddenly disappear, Apple will look for you and long for you?" Pyro asked in disbelief between his laughs.
Actually that was what Jayden had in mind, but why when Pyro said it out loud, it sounded ridiculous?
"Where did it go wrong?"
"Your mistake was…" Pyro tried to stop laughing and patted Jayden on the shoulder in a fatherly manner. "Your only fault, namely; You miscalculated, lad, Apple just doesn't care about your absence. She's moving on with her life and if you keep acting like this, come back to her in one month and she'll even have forgotten your name."
Jayden frowned even more at that.
It seemed that there was no such strategy that could be used in all battles, because every battle always required its own strategies.
Apparently, this time Jayden really resorted to the wrong strategy in dealing with Apple.
"Continue with your strategy, I can rest easy now," Pyro commented. There was nothing for him to worry about anymore if Jayden acted like this.
=======================
Apple was bored at home and intended to go to the shopping center and buy some clothes to spoil herself with her hard earned money.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut, just as she had pulled the car out of the parking space, she found Kyle, standing by the fence of her house, next to the red racing motorbike he had gotten from who knew where.
The afternoon sun shone on his haggard face and the wounds he'd gotten from his previous fight, didn't seem to have healed properly.
"What are you doing here?" Apple asked as she rolled down the window. She didn't want to rebuke or talk to Kyle, it was just that she felt uncomfortable having him standing in front of her house.
Hearing Apple's familiar voice, Kyle lifted his head and smiled awkwardly at the girl.
"Apple, how are you?"
Oh, not with these unpleasant pleasantries, Apple grumbled inwardly. "What do you want?" Apple immediately got straight to the point.
"Can you get out of the car for a moment?" Kyle asked, trying to be nice to Apple. "I want to talk to you for a moment."
Apple's car was just about to get out of the gate, but since Kyle was in front of the car, she couldn't get it out without bumping into the man.
Hm… actually Apple was quite tempted to run into Kyle… but of course she didn't. Her car was too valuable to be used to crash into a human like Kyle.
Then with great reluctance, Apple backed the car and got out of there.
"What do you want?" Apple asked curtly, she folded her arms across her chest in an arrogant manner, while on the west horizon, the sun was almost setting, giving off a dazzling red hue. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I want to thank you for what you've done for me," Kyle said hesitantly. "But can you tell Mr. Tordoff to not throw me into this town so far from town A?"
"What do you mean?" Apple asked in bewilderment.
"You did not know?" This time, it was Kyle who was confused. "Mr. Tordoff sent Maureen and me to a very faraway place."
