It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 468 ASSASINATION

"What job is that?" Apple asked, with her eyes narrowed. Any work that came from Jerome was suspicious, for none of his work would make any sense.

Jerome shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said lightly, "Delivery."

Apple furrowed her brows. "What delivery?" She is a little sensitive to words like \'delivery\', because last night\'s events were still very fresh in her head. The wound on her hand still hurt, so there was no way she could forget what had happened.

Jerome tilted his head, as if he were teasing the girl in front of him. He\'d always liked how caring and sympathetic this girl was, but of course on the other hand that kind of attitude really didn\'t suit the group he was leading.

But, on the other hand, Jerome knew how to make good use of Apple\'s soft side.

"You don\'t need to know what delivery it is," he answered in a secretive tone, he didn\'t intend to tell Apple about it or explain Kyle\'s work beforehand. "What you should know is; he couldn\'t afford the money he borrowed and he also failed in completing the task."

Apple then pushed Maureen away from her and walked closer to Jerome. "Then what are you going to do Jerome?" she asked defiantly.

"I want my money."

"If not?" Apple asked, and glanced back at Kyle who was still lying on the floor. What exactly had they done to make Kyle go unconscious for this long? "Do you want to kill them?"

"Well, I\'d suffer a huge loss if they died. At least I\'ll think of some way to make them a little more useful." Jerome then took a step closer to Apple and leaned in, whispering softly to the girl. "You know that humans have high value, don\'t you?"

Apple instantly realized what Jerome meant and it was all thanks to Jayden who had been poisoning herself with his case for the past few days.

Of course, what Jerome meant was human trafficking.

And the big question for Apple now was; was she going to let this a*****e in front of her do that to those two bastards?

A part of Apple said to just leave them to their fate, that was none of her business, but the sane part of her certainly couldn\'t let that happen.

"For now, I only have this money," Apple said, and dropped the backpack she brought in front of Jerome. "Give me some time to pay off the rest."

Jerome then nodded at one of his men to count the amount of money Apple had brought, but apparently that amount didn\'t satisfy him.

"I don\'t have any more money for now." Apple raised her hand. "Give me some time and I\'ll pay off your money, or you can kill them right now. Although the latter option is unprecedented, you can\'t force me to make that much money in such a short amount of time."

Jerome burst out laughing when he heard Apple\'s answer while the girl was not quite happy that she had been laughed at.

"You know that what you\'re doing for them is ridiculous, right? They betrayed you and you are willingly giving your money for them," Jerome teased.

Of course, there was no need for this man to say out loud what Apple had already concluded. "Whatever you want to say," she growled. "Now, what is your decision?"

Jerome seemed to think for a moment. "I don\'t need the money in a hurry really," he said slowly.

Hearing that, Apple really wanted to kick him in the head. If he didn\'t really need the money, did he need to kick such a fuss now?

However, Apple was trying to be patient. One day, she would really kick this man in the head.

"But, I have one job I want you to do," he said again, this time his eyes focused on Apple. "Do this successfully and I will consider your debt paid off."

"I don\'t owe you anything, Jerome," Apple corrected his words, her eyes still coldly glaring at the man before her.

"Oh, my bad," Jerome said. "I mean the debt owed by your ex-lover and your best friend who betrayed you."

"Say what you want." Apple couldn\'t wait to end this annoying conversation. "There\'s no need to waste my time."

"OK. I want you to kill someone," Jerome cut straight to the point.

Hearing that, Apple raised her hand and turned away from the man. "I\'ll pass. You can kill them. It\'s up to you what you want to do with them, I don\'t care."

After saying that, Apple turned around and walked away from them.

"But, that\'s not what I really want from you Apple." Jerome grabbed Apple\'s shoulders, preventing her from leaving.

However, Apple reacted too quickly and saw this as a threat, thus, she immediately turned around and twisted Jerome\'s hand behind his body and kicked him behind his knee, causing the man to fall to his knees in front of her with his hands still behind his body, which were strongly held back by Apple.

Immediately, the entire group reacted in unison, they raised their guns and aimed them at Apple.

On the other hand, Apple already had a gun stuck right behind Jerome\'s head. "Tell them to lower their guns or I\'ll blow your head off."

Apple didn\'t play with her threats, because she knew how much Jerome valued his life.

"Wow, easy boys… lower your guns before she blows my precious head off," Jerome said to his men.

And immediately they lowered their guns, but Apple didn\'t.

"You\'re still very fast even though you haven\'t had an assignment from this group in a long time."

"Say what you want."

"Couldn\'t we talk while looking at each other."

"Just say it like this."

"Okay," Jerome said, slightly annoyed. He then explained briefly, "There\'s someone who wants me to kill Jayden Tordoff."
