Chapter 692: ANOTHER WAY TO SAY KIDNAPPING

Chapter 692: ANOTHER WAY TO SAY KIDNAPPING

"What do you want!?" cried Theodore fiercely. He seemed to want to beat up Ramon if he were in front of him right now, but even so, it was doubtful that he could even touch Ramon.

"Nothing," replied Ramon lightly. "There's nothing I want right now, I just wanted to say hello and ask how you're doing, that's all." Ramon smiled when he heard Theodore's frustrated grumble.

It was natural for this man to feel very frustrated dealing with the mess his son created while Ramon really wanted to enjoy this good moment, bothering Theodore and making him more upset.

"So how are you?" asked Ramon again, for Theodore still had not answered his question.

On the other hand, Richard could only shake his head… he was sure that Jayden's childish trait was passed down from Hailee, but apparently that trait had been rubbed on Mr. Tordoff too…

He didn't think that after a long time of not seeing him, Mr. Tordoff would actually become like this.

"I heard that the scenery at the harbor today is very pleasant, what do you think?" asked Ramon. "Wouldn't you like to come over here to have a look for a bit?" he asked again in a more enthusiastic tone and made Richard sigh in resignation.

However, Ramon didn't get any response from Theodore because he had turned off the call and refused to speak at all.

"Why did he turn off his cell phone?" asked Ramon with a frown on his forehead. "Let's get closer to the harbor," Ramon ordered Richard, because he wanted to take a closer look at how his son was handling this matter.

And if he was lucky, maybe that phone call could provoke Theodore enough to come and see for himself how his son was now in his son's hands.

This was sure to be a very fun show. Ramon couldn't wait to see how this all turned out.

Apart from that, Ramon was quite curious about how Jayden was faring in the harbor, because he knew that the trauma was still following his son.

"Hm, he's pretty strong too…" Ramon muttered to himself while looking at the street lights that lit up the night and the big ships in the harbor.

The area around the port would definitely be very crowded now. Tonight would definitely be very tense.

Ramon smiled when he saw the darkness of the night where the sea in the distance looked very dark and black.

Indeed, some people couldn't continue to avoid what had become their destiny.

Just like Theodore, he was so cunning and only because Alina, Ramon and Jayden didn't take firm action against them until now.

However, this time the matter was very different. Alina had absolutely nothing to do with the grudge Jayden felt toward Theodore.

His daughter knew how bad Jayden's grudge against the group that had kidnapped him in the past was.

Therefore, in this matter, it was impossible for her to interfere. She wouldn't be able to have a say in the matter this time.

Ramon then glanced at his watch. It was still four hours before morning and usually Hailee would wake up by then.

Ramon planned to return before Hailee realized he was gone because explaining all this would only complicate matters a bit. His wife was easily worried when it came to their children, especially since Ramon was also out tonight.

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

"They found it," said Danny, one of the bodyguards who was in the car with Apple, while Gabriel smiled with satisfaction when he heard the report.

"Mr. Tordoff did it," Gabrielal said, then turned to look at Apple.

"Of course it's a success," said Apple with a smile. She smiled very widely and seemed unable to hold back her laughter.

"You don't have to worry anymore now." Gabriel was very afraid that something would happen to Apple because she was so tense following the ambush.

"Of course, I don't need to worry, I know that Jayden will be fine, I didn't doubt him one bit," Apple said proudly and eyes sparkling. "What?"

Apple asked as she got piercing eyes from Gabriel and Danny at the same time.

"It's okay," they both replied at about the same time, turning their attention away from Apple's face.

How could she say so emphatically that she didn't even doubt Jayden Tordoff when she was in the car herself, just for the sake of following developments on the scene firsthand?

She really was shameless when she said that…

"What?" asked Apple fiercely, because she seemed to know what they thought of her. "You must think badly of me, don't you?" asked Apple in a loud voice. "You must be making fun of me, right?" Apple accused them.

"Of course not," both answered in unison, while Apple was still dissatisfied with the answer.

"You two must be making fun of me in your minds," Apple grumbled. She then immediately returned to focus on the next report on what was happening and where Jayden was now.

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

On the other hand, Jayden was on the phone with someone he called uncle and had a serious conversation with him for a while, and he seemed so focused on the conversation.

From a distance, they could see the ship Theodore had planned to dock, instead sailing back to the harbor before the big ship lowered its anchor.

Not long after, several cars containing military personnel and speedboats from the same detachment also surrounded the ship, while a few minutes later, about twelve men came out with their hands handcuffed and their faces down.

They could not escape, they were caught along with evidence.

Meanwhile, not long after, there were about twenty children between the ages of five, carried by either Jayden's men, or military police, to the age of eighteen, walking out of the boat.

They looked frightened, but some of them, who were much more mature and had understood the situation, looked relieved and wept.

"It seems like a very busy night, doesn't it?" asked a man approaching Jayden.

Jayden was a little surprised, because the man's voice could be heard from both the phone in his ear as well as from behind him.

"Uncle Damian," said Jayden, then he hung up the phone, because the person he was talking on the phone to was in front of him. "I thought you wouldn't be able to come."

Damian laughed, he then hung up the phone as well. He then greeted Jayden warmly, hugging him tightly.

The man was about thirty years older than Jayden and looked very dignified in the uniform he was wearing.

"Of course I'll come, there's no way I'd miss a moment like this," Damian said, then he let out his trademark laugh.

"I'm quite proud of you," Damian said as he patted Jayden on the shoulder. "You're not only a stubborn young man, but you can really do something."

Jayden grimaced when he heard that. In his uncle's eyes, Jayden never grew from his teenage figure.

"So?" Damian asked.

"We will convict Theodore Gevano, the mastermind behind all this commotion soon. I've got Erick with me, we'll just have to use him…" however, Jayden's words were cut off as Damian shook his head, indicating that wasn't what he was asking now.

"So, how was your fiancée's pregnancy? Apple, if I'm not mistaken, is her name, right?" Damian asked, elbowing Jayden meaningfully.

Hearing this, Jayden really wanted to take a deep breath.

How could uncle Damian have known about Apple's pregnancy?! This must all be the work of his mother who had spread this.

Well, even if it wasn't Hailee, her mother could just say this to her aunt, Zia and then her aunt would pass it on to everyone she knew...

Damn.

It hadn't even been three days since Jayden found out about Apple's pregnancy and it hadn't even been three days since the two of them found out that they were going to become parents, but it looked like both families had already found out about this!?

On the other hand, Damian seemed to understand the dilemma that was in Jayden's mind and he patted his nephew on the back.

"You don't have to worry, there's no need to give such a facial expression," Damian said with a chuckle. "This secret is safe with me."

It was just that Jayden looked at him even more fiercely, if uncle Damian too found out about this matter, then it went without saying that news of Apple's pregnancy must have spread quite far.

Damian was Zia's husband, who was a cousin of Hailee's mother.

Damian was someone with a high rank in the military police. Zia's grandfather introduced the two of them.

Therefore, Jayden asked Damian for help.

He only remembered recently to ask for help from his mother's family, because he was not very close to them, although they would meet regularly two or three times a year.

"If even you knew, then there wouldn't be any more secrets here," Jayden grumbled.

But then, their conversation was interrupted because there was a commotion not far from them, whereupon Adrian immediately approached Jayden and told him quickly.

"Mr. Gevano has come," Adrian told Jayden. He had been connected to the other bodyguards who were guarding around here through a communication device, thus, he immediately knew this. "He accused you of kidnapping his son."

"I kidnapped his son?" Jayden then glanced at Damian.

"Did you kidnap his son?" Damian asked, returning Jayden's gaze, if it was this boy, it had a good chance of happening and his guess wasn't too far off.

"I just handcuffed him and told my men to take him to a more guarded place."

Wasn't that another definition of kidnapping?
