Chapter 643 ANOTHER SHOCKING NEWS
Chapter 643 ANOTHER SHOCKING NEWS
"Are you serious?" Ivan asked hesitantly. "Rachel did this?"
"No one pays me to lie to you." Apple looked straight into Ivan's eyes. "I have a boyfriend, Jayden Tordoff, you think I need money to lie? My fiance can pay you ten times what they pay you."
Well, Apple had to admit that sounded pretty cocky, but, what could she do? She just couldn't stay silent and also, she was very upset that Ivan risked himself to get the money.
Ivan was silent for a moment when he heard those words. He looked completely shocked, then realized how stupid he was to ask such a question.
Of course, Apple didn't need other people's money when her fiance was so loaded and indulgent.
"Can we still be friends?" Ivan asked when he had realized his mistake. But, turning back time, Ivan would probably do the same. Because in the end, Apple survived and she didn't appear to have been hurt or traumatized.
She seemed fine and looked completely unaffected by what had happened, so in the end, there was nothing to worry about, right?
"Friends with you?" Apple scoffed. "I am not friends with cheap people who can be bought easily," said Apple. She knew her words sounded cruel and condescending, but she was really serious about this.
Ivan looked taken aback when he heard this, but a moment later, after his shock disappeared, he nodded, accepting Apple's decision.
"I'm sorry for what I did to you," Ivan said again. "I'm not thinking clearly."
"I can see that," Apple said sarcastically. Someone who was willing to harm other people just because of money and had the same motivation as Ivan, who wanted to please his girlfriend at the cost of hurting other people, didn't really deserve to be her friend.
"I'm sorry for what I did," Ivan said again in a low voice as he stepped out of the room where he had been locked in for several hours.
But, before he walked away. He turned around and looked at Apple with guilt-ridden eyes.
"I'm sorry for what would happen later," Ivan said again in a low voice. He seemed to be struggling to explain what he meant, but then he built up the courage and said it. "There will be an article about you tomorrow."
Apple opened her mouth and closed it. Again, she blinked in disbelief.
It was not just the Gevano people, but this asshole also tricked her with the photoshoot agency?
"The photo contest I won is bullshit, isn't it?" said Apple in a quivering voice. She looked very angry when she found out about this.
"That's not bullshit. The competition does exist, but it has pre-determined that the winner will be you after I offered cooperation between you and them," Ivan admitted this. "I apologize."
Of course, when they found out that Apple was Jayden Tordoff's lover, they were more than excited to let Apple win without any selection and with that being said, Ivan would be the photographer for each of their shoots.
"Stop apologizing, you are a man with no dignity. I didn't think you would stoop that low." Apple clenched her fists very tightly. "There's no need to say anything more. I want you to leave right now."
Apple gritted her teeth very hard and Ivan, who seemed to want to apologize again, immediately turned around and walked away from there quickly, because Apple's expression was quite awful.
"Do you want to change your mind now and kill him?" asked Adrian, as he handed the gun to Apple which he was holding in his hand thus far. "You can still aim from here."
Apple then glared at Adrian, who just smirked slyly. This man loved drama so much…
"No, thank you." Apple then returned the gun in her hand to Adrian. "I don't want to get my hands dirty for a guy like that," Apple said as she stepped into the second room to free Mateo.
"You're too kind," said Adrian in a bored tone. "After all, this gun has no bullets."
"I know, therefore, I'm not wasting my time." Apple chuckled at him and unlocked the door leading to the room where Mateo was being held. "After all, I choose my own battles wisely."
Adrian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and shook his head in disbelief.
Then Apple entered the room where Mateo was standing warily in one corner of this room holding a chair up high, ready to attack anyone who entered the room.
But, when he saw the figure of Apple, he discarded his intentions.
"What are you doing? Put that chair down," Apple said with a frown. She then sat down in another chair in the room.
This room was the same as the previous room, which only contained two chairs and a table.
"Apple? Are you okay? What's really going on? Where are we?" Mateo asked in disbelief when he saw Apple there.
"Sit down, I'll tell you," Apple said, waving her hand to indicate for Mateo to sit quietly.
=========================
As it turned out, the article was released two hours after midnight and the article was entitled: Future Mrs. Tordoff. There were lots of photos of her during the shoot.
But, what made Apple keep thinking were the photos of her and Mateo on the beach a few hours ago.
The photos seemed as if they were candid and random clicks, leading to public opinion that Apple and Mateo were in a special kind of relationship.
"What trash article is this?" Apple grumbled as she read the article.
Ivan had told her about this, but he had not made it clear what they were really planning.
"Damn it, Ivan!" Apple cursed under her breath. She was feeling very tired and wanted to rest soon, but instead, she was presented with this news.
Right now, she was in the car with Jayden and Adrian, heading home.
