Chapter 691: HOW ARE YOU?
Just at that moment, the cell phone in Erick's pocket vibrated and Jayden took it.
"Oh, it's your daddy. Do you want to say hi to your dear old daddy?" He asked in his childish voice as if Erick was a five year old child.
Jayden even let his eyes sparkle with joy, as if he was a kid who just got a box of cookies.
If Apple had been here and heard Jayden's way of speaking now, she'd have winced, because it sounded so cringey, or if Misha were here with him, his cousin would have hit him on the head because his voice was so annoying.
But, of course Jayden didn't care about all these things, he had other more important things to deal with now.
He wanted the night to go well. Then he could go back into Apple's arms, because only that woman and the child she was carrying could give him the feeling of happiness right now.
"Come on, talk to daddy, tell daddy what I'm doing to you," Jayden said to Erick in a scornful and mocking tone.
And a moment later, Jayden pressed the 'yes' button to answer the call and put the phone to Erick's ear, but not before clicking on the speaker button, so he too could join in listening to this father and son conversation.
"Dad," Erick said, after Jayden lifted his hand from his mouth.
On the other hand, Jayden grimaced when Erick started whimpering. This 'man kid' actually rattled off everything to Theodore Gevano, from how he got beaten up to how he was doing now.
Every word that came out of Erick's lips made Jayden squint, because he couldn't understand Alina's way of thinking. How could she accept this spineless man as his lover?
His older sister did go to extremes at times, but to make a creature like Erick her husband was, of course, a very crazy thing.
"He ambushed us dad, now he tied my hands and feet," Erick reported to his father.
There was silence for a moment, but then, Theodore again spoke in a voice that trembled slightly with anger.
"What are you saying? You're being held by Jayden? And your hands and feet are in handcuffs? Then how did you get hold of your phone?" asked Theodore in a growl at the end of his sentence. "Don't tell me that..."
However, before Theodore could finish his sentence, or Erick could answer that, Jayden had already cut in on the conversation between father and son and greeted Theodore as if he were his favorite uncle.
"Hi, Mr. Gevano," said Jayden cheerfully. "Of course, I was the one who helped him to talk to you, I held this phone to Erick's ear, am I not very kind to do that?"
However, what Jayden got in return was a muffled grunt and cursing, the words barely clear before the call ended.
Jayden then looked at the phone screen which was dark because the line had been disconnected and then looked at Erick with an innocent face.
"It seems your father is mad that you didn't tell him that you were with me and that I put you on speaker?" asked Jayden, who then got a barrage of profanities from Erick's mouth.
Hearing this made Jayden frown. "You should watch your words. That's too crude. I don't think you've ever been taught manners."
"FUCK YOU JAYDEN!" Erick shouted with unbearable anger. He looked very angry and really couldn't control his emotions. He tried to approach Jayden, but the man just stepped back from him laughing scornfully.
"I know, I know, you don't have to tell me anymore," Jayden said as he stepped back to avoid Erick, even though he wouldn't be able to do anything because his hands and feet were well cuffed. "At least I'm a jerk who wasn't tied down and got scolded by his dad," Jayden laughed.
Yes, it did sound childish, but saying that and seeing how Erick reacted really made him happy.
Also, Erick wasn't trained at all to break free from the handcuffs like Apple did, so it was certain that he had no hope of freeing himself.
This man was too stupid to be able to do such a thing.
"Come here! COME BACK HERE!" Erick roared angrily that Jayden was leaving him like this.
"Why should I?" Jayden said with furrowed brows while he contacted someone through his communication device, calling someone to secure Erick who was on a rampage right now. "I don't want to be near you. I'm afraid you will say that I want to always be close to you again. You really were shameless when you said that earlier, but now you want me to come over to you."
Erick had never felt anger like this. He felt his whole body shaking with rage at what Jayden said and did to him. He had never felt humiliation like this before.
"COME HERE FUCKER!" Erick was still trying to free himself from the handcuffs that bound him, not caring that the sharp metal scraped his wrists and legs.
Jayden just shook his head in response and continued talking into his earpiece.
It was only after someone came to secure Erick that Jayden stepped away from there.
"YOU COME BACK HERE, JAYDEN!" Erick shouted with all his might before his mouth was gagged and he was dragged elsewhere.
While Jayden walked away waving his hand indifferently at Erick. Simply letting the others take care of it.
"How is it here?" Jayden asked Adrian who was observing the inspection on board. Their men on the speedboats had burst into the ship and checked every cargo until they found what they were looking for.
"Everything went smoothly, we just need to wait for the reports from our people that they have found the right cargo," Adrian reported the current situation, he then turned and looked at Jayden with a frown. "You're all right, Mr. Tordoff?" asked Adrian worriedly because he could see that Jayden was very pale now.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Jayden said, gritting his teeth.
"You'd better…" Adrian was about to say that he could leave now, since things were under control, but he didn't, because Jayden stared him down fiercely.
"Don't you try to send me home," Jayden grumbled.
Well, maybe it was ego and after all, he really didn't like the look of pity that Adrian regarded him with. It really offended his high self-esteem.
"I won't say it, Mr. Tordoff…" Adrian mumbled, quickly turning his attention back to something else, because he didn't want to get those nasty looks from Jayden.
Jayden stared at the ship being searched with a look on his face that was hard to read because he looked like he was holding back his emotions. He was very upset that he couldn't get any closer and this made him uneasy.
However, this was the closest he could go, because any closer than this he would have a panic attack and that was the last thing he wanted.
"Oh, Mr. Tordoff, they found the cargo," said Adrian, reporting this to Jayden. He looked so excited.
Jayden smiled a little, then made a call on his cell phone, which was picked up on the second ring by the person on the other end. "Uncle, we found it," Jayden said with a smile on his lips.
========================
Ramon, who was in the car, listened to what Richard had to report about the situation at the harbor, where Jayden had managed to find the right cargo. Now, Jayden was trying to sort things out there.
On the other hand, Ramon smiled while listening to the report and he nodded with a satisfied smile etched on the corners of his lips when he heard that.
"Find out Theodore Gevano's number, I would like to greet the man. We haven't spoken in a long time," said Ramon, giving Richard orders.
On the other hand, Richard would gladly do so and without waiting long, the man had obtained Theodore Gevano's private phone number, which was not a difficult thing for people like Richard to do.
And after getting the phone number, he immediately told it to Ramon, who made a call to the number.
"Theodore?" greeted Ramon very politely.
For a moment, Theodore didn't say anything, it seemed he was trying to remember this voice, but no matter how long ago they spoke, it wouldn't be easy for people to forget Ramon's voice.
"Ramon," Theodore growled furiously.
"How are you?" asked Ramon in a cheerful tone.
How are you?!
How could he ask how he was at a time like this when he knew very well what was really going on!
This father and son really are the same! They both love to make fun of someone they've beaten down, making sure they face embarrassment that they'll always remember.
"What do you want!?" cried Theodore fiercely. He seemed to want to beat up Ramon if that man were in front of him, but even so, it was doubtful that he could even touch Ramon.
