BXBX NOVEL Chapter 575 FORGIVENESS
Chapter 575 FORGIVENESS
Apple knew things were going to get a little heated right now, but she couldn\'t understand how these people could lie so blatantly.
Especially the stupidity of those two who were completely unaware of the surveillance cameras in many corners of this horse stable. Maybe this was Apple\'s habit of always observing her surroundings carefully when she entered a place, therefore, it was very easy for her to find these cameras.
It was an instinct for her to take note of the location of the surveillance cameras as well as the closest place to escape when she was in a room and all this was thanks to her father who had taught and trained her to behave like this.
Therefore, she didn\'t really panic when facing the false accusations of the two women. She just couldn\'t understand what was really going on in Tania and Isabella\'s heads.
It is true what people say that an educated person is not necessarily an intelligent person.
Apple walked over to one of the posts there, where the door looked very sturdy and strong. The door that served as the horse barrier was made of a very strong wood.
"Are you honestly saying that I hit her with all my might?" asked Apple again
who then raised her hand and slammed it against the stable door, which then broke into several pieces. Luckily, the booth was empty.
Apple even used her left hand when doing this. "Which hand did I use? She would be like this if it was true that I hit her with all my might."
She didn\'t know why, but Apple felt satisfied when she saw the shocked expressions of the four people.
Tania, Isabela and Clarissa screamed in fear, while Brian was stunned speechless when he saw how easily Apple crushed the wood. It wasn\'t soft wood nor was it easy to break, even Brian wasn\'t sure he could break it himself even if he used his legs and arms.
"You… you…" Clarissa stuttered, she stared at Apple as if the girl had grown another head on her shoulders, as if she were a monster. "How could a woman do something like that?!"
Clarissa, who throughout her life had always been filled with the idea that women were gentle creatures and never used violence, let alone destroying wood, had never even participated in sports that she thought were \'unladylike\' such as martial arts and the like.
Therefore, of course Clarissa was very surprised when she saw what Apple could do. She even looked hysterical when she witnessed it. It shouldn\'t have mattered if it was a man, but a woman? She considered it a crime and a personality crisis.
"How can you accept an uncouth woman like this to be your son\'s future wife? She is very unladylike!" Clarissa then turned her attention to Hailee. "You\'re okay getting a future daughter-in-law like that?"
On the other hand, Apple was a little nervous because she didn\'t think that far. Yes, indeed Hailee had been very nice to her and even always defended her, but realizing what she had just done, Apple felt like she had taken things for granted…
Apple even felt that what Clarissa said was true. The Tordoffs were a noble family, how could they tolerate a woman who was so barbaric?
But, it seemed Jayden realized what was going on in Apple\'s mind, because it clearly showed on his face.
His triumphant smile instantly faded when he heard Clarissa\'s gibberish.
Therefore, Jayden walked closer to Apple and hugged her waist while kissing the top of her head.
"Let me see your hand," Jayden said softly, pulling Apple\'s hand for a quick inspection. "I\'d be mad if you hurt yourself."
Apple was quite surprised to hear what Jayden said, especially when the man kissed the back of her hand, saying quietly.
"You have a cut here," he said.
Apple got a small scuff on the back of her hand for what she had done, but it wouldn\'t be obvious if you didn\'t look closely.
On the other hand, Hailee was smiling at Apple, but her expression turned sinister when facing Clarissa.
"Only strong women deserve to be in the Tordoff family, especially those who are tough and smart. I would not agree if Jayden brings home a woman who is so stupid and doesn\'t know how to position herself especially those who are unaware of her surroundings and takes her as his wife."
Hailee then looked at Clarissa, Tania and Isabella one by one. Of course, all the words she spoke were aimed at the three women.
"Women in the Tordoff family are treated as equals, so a trophy wife is completely unnecessary here." Hailee then walked closer to Brian. She looked at the man with sharp eyes, smiling. "You have to teach your woman to look smart, not just beautiful."
The smile on Hailee\'s lips was what Ramon missed, he almost forgot that his wife could be so mischievous when circumstances demanded it.
Living on their quiet island made Ramon miss Hailee\'s side when she was confronted like this and it seemed Hailee was enjoying her time, therefore, Ramon kept quiet and let his wife play with these people.
On the other hand, Brian clenched his jaw tightly, so much the muscles in his neck could be seen. He looked like someone who was holding back anger, shame and irritation at the same time, but he knew better to keep his attitude in front of Hailee.
"Yes, Mrs. Tordoff, I\'m sorry for the fuss," he said in a very low voice.
"You\'re apologizing to me?" Hailee raised her eyebrows. "Your fiancée, your sister and your mother accused my future daughter-in-law of committing acts of violence, but you are the one apologizing?"
Clarissa could see that the situation was not in her favor, so she stepped in and tried to smooth things out.
"Hailee, this was just a misunderstanding," Clarissa said, this time her voice was softer, less aggressive than she was before.
"I don\'t think so," Hailee said calmly, this time turning her attention to Clarissa. "This is a libel and a false accusation, just like what you demanded, I want to file a lawsuit with the evidence I have," Hailee said firmly, which made the three women look terrified.
They were really looking for trouble with the wrong people…
======================
"You think it\'s okay?" asked Apple when Jayden invited her to lunch and let Hailee and Ramon take care of the four of them.
Tania looked really scared when Hailee said that she would sue her, Clarissa and her daughter as well.
Meanwhile, Brian tried to talk to Ramon, because he thought the man would help them.
Brian was trying to logically talk to Ramon, but one thing Brian should have known was; one couldn\'t talk logically to Ramon when it came to his wife.
Ramon just said \'What my wife says, goes.\' And after that, he stopped listening to Brian\'s attempts to help him stop Hailee.
"So what?" Jayden asked as he returned the plate of sliced ??steak to Apple, letting her eat her food.
"Didn\'t your mother go too far?" Apple had no problem forgiving them as long as they apologized and didn\'t prolong the issue, but Hailee didn\'t seem to think the same.
"There\'s no need to worry about that. Can\'t you see my mother\'s face is beaming with trouble? Her life is too far from drama, therefore, she won\'t mind blowing out things once or twice during her visit, before she returns to their island."
Apple frowned and felt a little weird about it, but then she didn\'t mind it anymore and started eating her food when her phone rang.
This was an unknown number, so she frowned slightly.
"Why aren\'t you answering it?" Jayden asked when he saw Apple\'s expression. "Is there a problem?"
Apple shook her head and before the call ended she picked up. "Hello?"
There was a very soft female voice on the other end of the phone call, she then confirmed the identity of Apple and that she was not mistakenly connected.
"Yes, it\'s me. Who is this?" Apple seemed to recognize this voice, but she couldn\'t remember where she had heard it before.
And it turned out to be Riley, the woman from the agency who had contracted her for a photo shoot.
Damn! Apple had completely forgotten about that because a lot of things had happened recently, especially with her father who was still in the hospital, although now Pyro\'s condition was much better.
"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that you\'ll come to the photo shoot which will take place in three days," Riley said amiably.
"Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me, I\'ll definitely come," Apple said in a cheery voice.
Three days from now meant the day after she would return from this resort. It was the perfect timing as it would not clash with her stay here.
"Yes, I will..." Apple then talked about a few other things before finally she ended the call and faced Jayden who had been waiting for her with a curious expression on his face.
"What\'s that about?" Jayden asked as he ate his steak. He was curious because Apple looked happy when she got the call.
Apple explained how she was offered to be a model after Ivan\'s photo of her won a contest he entered.
"Model?" Jayden put down his cutlery and leaned his back against the back of the chair, then folded his arms across his chest.
"Why?" asked Apple in a slightly defensive manner.
"Should we celebrate this?" Jayden asked who then laughed. He was just teasing her.
