It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 631 COMPLICATED SITUATION

　　With great dexterity, Apple then twisted Ivan's hands behind his back and kicked him behind his knees until he fell to the ground in a kneeling position.

　　After that, Apple let go of Ivan's hands and pushed him, letting the man fall head first on the solid ground.

　　"Where do you think you are going?" Apple asked dreamily. But, her eyes were fixed on Ivan. "You should know that you won't be able to catch me alone. You are no match for me, Ivan." She looked at the man who was sprawled on the floor, wincing in pain. There was no tenderness in her eyes.

　　Apple then stepped aside and allowed Ivan to turn around after which the man tried to stand up.

　　"Have you forgotten who I am?" asked Apple. The two of them had been friends for a long time, so Ivan should have known that Apple could stand up for herself and didn't need anyone's help. He should have remembered who Apple's father was and had been more careful with her. "If you want to set me up, do it right."

　　"Apple… I can explain…" Ivan stammered, he looked confused and scared, but he didn't know what to do either, because he didn't expect Apple to know about this plan in advance.

　　The words that stumbled out of Ivan's lips really made Apple feel an urge to laugh, because they reminded her of how Derek had tried to get Gladys to talk to him. They both tried to explain when no more explanations were needed. Why did these men like things like this? Apple couldn't stop thinking about this...

　　"What kind of explanation are you going to give me?" Apple then took two steps back from Ivan when she heard noises around her and could feel several people starting to circle this place in the shadows. They were positioning themselves on the roofs and in the corners of this alley.

　　By this time, Ivan had stood up and attempted to speak to Apple before everyone surrounding them appeared at the same time.

　　They were the ones that that man had sent.

　　"Relax Apple, they won't hurt you," Ivan said in a low voice. "They just want to ask you something."

　　Apple could sense that this place was under siege, she glanced at the car and was grateful that Mateo heeded her warning by staying in the car.

　　"Just wanted to ask me something? Why should they go to the trouble of bringing in so many people when there are so few questions?" Apple glared at Ivan. "I never thought that you could be this stupid. Do you know who you work for?"

　　Ivan did not answer the question. He just fell silent when Apple approached him and glared at him.

　　"Do you know who you made a pact with?" Apple approached him and looked at him dangerously. She looked as if she was going to pounce on this man before her if his answer didn't satisfy her.

　　"I… I only found out that his name is Rick."

　　"And his surname?"

　　Ivan looked confused.

　　"You did not know?" Apple really wanted to facepalm herself for Ivan's utter nonsense. "You teamed up with someone you didn't even know for sure and you dragged me to a dangerous place?"

　　Ivan waved his hands frantically and tried to explain himself. "This person just wants to talk to you," Ivan said again, he repeated the same excuse and sounded very stupid to Apple's ears.

　　"Do you seriously believe that?" growled Apple. "What do you really want? What did they offer to make you relent and sell your friend?"

　　Ivan was like a deer caught in the headlights now and his face looked a little red from holding back the shame he had to endure for his actions.

　　"I'm sorry, Apple, but I need money ..." Ivan admitted this much. He looked down, like a child being scolded.

　　"Need money for what? Isn't your studio running smoothly?"

　　At first, Ivan hesitated to answer this, but seeing how Apple looked at him fiercely, he finally answered the question. "I'm planning to propose to Rachel and she wants a spectacular wedding."

　　Annoyed, Apple hit the man on the head until he winced in pain. However, he didn't dare to protest.

　　At this point, when she heard Ivan's reasoning, she really felt sorry for this man. If only he knew what his girlfriend had done to him.

　　"Use your head better and look around you," Apple exclaimed, waving her hand at Ivan in annoyance.

　　It was only then that Ivan realized that there were several people on the rooftops of the houses surrounding this dark alley and there were also about five men who were approaching them. And what left Ivan surprised was; they all held guns.

　　"What?" Ivan blinked a few times, looking confused. "But, it's nothing similar to what we agreed to, they just said that they would only ask you a few questions."

　　"Asking some questions, huh? Looks like they're pointing some guns at me instead." Apple glared at Ivan. "Next time you want to make a deal with someone you don't know, make sure you make it legally, so you can sue them for breaching the contract."

　　Ivan didn't say anything, he just grumbled something incoherent and let Apple continue cursing under her breath, which was obviously aimed at him.

　　"They're just going to talk…" Ivan repeated the words, but this time it sounded like he wanted to convince himself rather than convince Apple.

　　"Shut up!" cried Apple fiercely and glared at Ivan. She was not happy about this situation, even though she knew it would turn out like this, but hearing Ivan's reasoning, really left her miffed.

　　On the other hand, Mateo was flabbergasted when he saw how Apple beat Ivan and made the man fall to the ground in one move. How could a girl as gentle as Apple and as beautiful as herself be so brutal? But then he noticed the two of them were getting into an argument.

　　At first, he had intended to stay in the car and not get involved in the issues between the two, only when he saw about five men approaching them, did he intend to separate the two.

　　He didn't know who the five men that were blocking the way in this alley, but he felt uncomfortable and wanted to get out of here immediately. Didn't Ivan say that he and Apple still had to do one last photo shoot?

　　"What happened…" Mateo asked as he opened the car door and was about to step out.

　　"STAY IN THE CAR!"

　　However, before his feet could hit the ground, Apple had shouted at him fiercely and given him an ultimatum to stay in the car, which made him shrink back into the car and stay there, following Apple's orders. That girl looked fierce when she got angry...

　　Wouldn't Jayden Tordoff get into trouble if he made the girl angry? Was he okay when he saw how terrible his fiancée was?

　　But, one thing was for sure; Mateo didn't dare step out of the car anymore and could only watch what was happening through the rear window.

　　On the other hand, Apple stared at the five people blocking the only exit in this dark alley and tried to identify them, only, she was sure that she had never seen these men before…

　　"So, what's this?" Apple asked the five men who had just approached them.

　　"You said you were just going to ask about something, why bring guns?" Ivan asked one of the five men.

　　He agreed to the deal they presented him with because the money offered was quite a lot and the reasons they gave were quite reasonable.

　　They said they had trouble getting access to question Apple because she was heavily guarded and when Ivan asked what questions they wanted to ask her, so he could represent her, instead of bringing Apple to this place, they didn't answer clearly.

　　All they said was it was a personal matter that needed to be discussed with Apple directly, and Apple wouldn't have agreed to it if she had known about it first.

　　Therefore, Ivan kept this meeting a secret, even though he felt something was off, but he brushed it off because he had already received the money they gave him for this deal, so he couldn't back down anymore…

　　"What do you want until you deceived this stupid friend of mine?" said Apple in annoyance, she even glanced at Ivan when she said how 'stupid' he was, but the man didn't protest at all, he seemed to accept what Apple had to say about him.

　　"I want you to come with me," said the man, one of them then came forward, he was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. He didn't forget to aim the gun in his hand at Apple.

　　"What are you doing? You want to shoot her?" Ivan exclaimed in surprise. He tried to block Apple, but the girl got him out of the way first.

　　She knew they wanted her alive, but they wouldn't think twice before shooting Ivan if he got in their way.

　　"It's not what you promised!" cried Ivan again. He didn't mean to harm Apple like this and didn't think the situation would get this complicated.

　　If only he had known, there was no way he would have brought Apple into such a dangerous situation. Yes, he did set up Apple, but this…
