Chapter 541 EXTRA BODYGUARD

Chapter 541 EXTRA BODYGUARD　　Jayden had just received news about Theodore Gevano who succeeded in scapegoating other people to receive punishment regarding human trafficking, while himself, who was previously a suspect, had now become a witness.

Of course this made Jayden very angry. How could with the evidence he had provided, Theodore Gevano could get away with it?

Theodore Gevano had not been proven one hundred percent innocent because the investigation was still ongoing and he could be back in jail.

But, now that his status had changed, he was allowed to go home on bail and of course this left Jayden furious.

Because that meant, Theodore Gevano would only be under surveillance.

Not only that that made Jayden furious, he had an instinct that after this Theodore Gevano would target himself and Apple using dirty methods that he always did. Jayden is well aware of this.

And now he is worried about Apple's safety, because she is more likely to be traveling alone or at home alone.

So, he tried to call Apple, but the calls kept going to voicemail.

And it was only then that Jayden remembered that his mother was taking Apple shopping. She mentioned it once when his mother told him to take Apple to a family event, which Jayden didn't really want to go to.

His mother said that she was going to take Apple shopping, so Jayden quickly dialed his mother's cell phone to make sure Apple was with her.

"I brought Apple to go shopping, so don't bother us." Those were the first words her mother spoke when she picked up the phone.

"Where?" Jayden asked again, his brow furrowed slightly when he heard this. Maybe he was too stressed because of the problems with the Gevano family, or maybe because of his overprotective attitude that was now active, but for sure, he felt uncomfortable letting the two of them go outside without adequate security.

Then Hailee told him the shopping center she used to go to and Jayden knew the place very well.

And after a brief exchange and hearing his mother's voice which sounded very cheerful, it was enough to help Jayden to feel a little calmer.

Then, Hailee bragged about one thing that made him frown.

"Have you seen the photos of Apple as a child?" Hailee asked cheerfully. "Oh, she is so adorable. I just saw it," Hailee gushed exaggeratedly. "Even I saw two photos where the two of you were together."

Jayden didn't know there was a picture of the two of them as kids at Apple's house. Hell, he had never even seen the album his mother mentioned.

And the way his mother spoke as if she had won something over him, made Jayden feel a little annoyed at his mother.

"Stop bragging like that, you sound childish," Jayden grumbled.

"And you sound a lot more childish for being annoyed with your own mother for this," Hailee retorted.

Ugh. His mother was difficult to talk to.

=============================

Apple was really about to give up when Hailee asked her to enter another outlet. She felt that shopping together with Hailee Tordoff was much harder than having to do physical activities.

How can Hailee who is no longer young still have this much stamina?

At this point, Apple was already feeling dizzy and wanted to stop walking, but of course she couldn't do that, Hailee would be disappointed in herself for showing that she wasn't that enthusiastic and happy to shop with her.

Even though the original intention was only to shop for one dress for the Tordoff family's party later, the time spent on it was almost an entire day.

However, while Apple was sitting on the couch, waiting for Hailee to pick out some jewelry to match the dress they had found earlier, Apple realized something odd; the number of guards around them increased.

Apple remembered well when they walked into this shopping center they only brought two bodyguards with them. Two bodyguards who were dressed formally so as not to attract the attention of the people around.

However, now there are about six bodyguards, all of whom Apple recognizes, because previously she worked as Jayden Tordoff's personal bodyguard and it could be said that they were all friends and subordinates of her father.

Therefore, Apple then approached one of them and asked about why there were so many bodyguards with her and Hailee. Could this be standard escort for Hailee Tordoff? But, the last time she remembered, not so many bodyguards followed them.

"This is an order from Mr. Tordoff," Adam replied, one of the bodyguards there, who had worked with Apple to protect Jayden before.

"Ramon Tordoff?"

Adam laughed softly and shook his head. "Of course not, Jayden Tordoff."

"Jayden?" Apple frowned, not understanding what Jayden was going through and sending extra bodyguards to them, when they were just shopping and in a crowded public place. "Why did he do that?"

Adam shrugged. "He has been looking very distracted since this morning and when he found out you two were out of the house, he immediately ordered us to bring extra guards to you."

Apple squinted, she knew there was something else Adam wanted to say, because she knew this man well enough to say it.

"What is it?" Apple urged. "Just say it. What do you know?" There was no way Jayden would suddenly be so paranoid like this if nothing had happened.

After a while, Adam finally started to say, "I don't really know for sure what happened to him, it seems he got some bad news involving his troubles with the Gevano family."

"The Gevano Family?" Apple thought that the problem had been well resolved, especially with the evidence they had. That would be very hard to refute, but why was that a problem now?

"At first, Mr. Tordoff wanted to send about ten or twelve additional people." Adam grimaced when he saw the surprised look on Apple's face.

Well, that sounded too much indeed, Mrs. Tordoff would be flipped as well.
