It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 481 BLACKOUT

And immediately, all the lights on the fifteenth floor went out as only this particular floor experienced a blackout.

"Looks like you did it," Jayden commented when he saw the lights on the fifteenth floor had gone out. He poked his head out of the window and looked up. "See? Safe isn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah..." Apple muttered as she tried to adjust her eyes in the dark. She then walked toward the door, where she heard the sounds of people running and shouting each other's names to give instructions and orders, to find out what was really going on.

Because the blackout only occurred on one floor, the event, which was taking place several floors below, was not disturbed at all.

"Okay, now get out of there and go to the next place."

Of course the next place was Theodore Gevano's guarded study on the floor.

"On my way," Apple said in a calm voice. She walked slowly down the corridor which was very limited in light and only lit by the lights from the surrounding buildings.

Her red dress turned out to be quite helpful for hiding in the dark, although it would be even better if it was black.

"I'm here and I need a password to sign in," Apple said.

"Two - five - zero - six - two - nine," Jayden said.

Apple frowned as she entered the code and the door opened. There were no guards on watch, because they didn't expect anyone to enter Theodore Gevano's room, especially when the room had a passcode to enter that only Theodore Gevano knew.

"Wow, you impressed me again and again," Apple muttered as she slipped in and closed the door behind her.

"I know that you'll find me attractive, it's only a matter of time before you actually fall in love with me."

Apple rolled her eyes dramatically. "Yeah… just keep dreaming, you'll need me to support your head when your head gets bigger."

"That means you must always be by my side."

Apple clicked her tongue. "How can you do that?"

"By magic," Jayden answered nonchalantly.

Actually, it was Pyro who had taught Jayden these kinds of things at first, but then, as he found hacking a system quite interesting, Jayden studied it further.

The two of them kept bickering until Apple found a laptop in a locked drawer.

"He didn't seem careful enough with leaving his laptop in an unlocked drawer," Jayden said.

"I didn't say the drawer was unlocked."

"So the drawer is locked?"

"Of course."

"Then how did you open the drawer?"

"By magic," Apple replied cheekily, mimicking what Jayden had told her earlier. She was satisfied that she had been able to counter Jayden's words earlier.

Of course, Apple learned this from her father, and now, there was hardly a lock she couldn't unlock.

But, on the other hand, Jayden didn't feel offended at all. He just laughed with Apple and found her unyielding demeanor amusing.

"Okay, my smart girl, let's get down to the business, shall we?" Jayden said at the end of his laugh, he then stretched out and cradled the laptop in his lap. It was time to find out the truth behind the organization that kidnapped him in the past.

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

The sky grew darker and cloudier as light rain began to fall, but the party downstairs continued to go on without any disturbances.

The guests were completely unaware of what was really going on or whether something was off.

They also did not realize that someone was hacking the security system of the Gevano family.

Only Theodore Gevano wasn't like that, he knew something was wrong when he got news that the electricity on the fifteenth floor had gone out and only on that floor.

But he couldn't just leave the party and let his guests wonder about his absence.

And everything became clearer when Theodore realized that one important guest had disappeared from the party.

"Mr. Tordoff and his new girlfriend are using one of the meeting rooms," Aska, his son, answered. "We'd better not bother them," he said in a meaningful tone, for his father would know what he meant.

However, the two of them did not share the same thoughts, as Theodore felt that something was wrong with all of this.

Jayden Tordoff was not the type of guy who would leave a party giving the impression that he was spending time with his woman.

Theodore knew Ramon Tordoff well and although his son's demeanor was more suggestive of taking on his mother's traits, still, their son must be as cunning as his father as well.

"Father, where are you going?" Aska asked when he saw his father's facial expression change as he rushed off after giving him an order.

"Watch the course of this party," Theodore said before he gave orders to his men to gather in his study.

"Father, where are you going?" Aska asked, he was the second child in the Gevano family and a young man at the age of twenty-four who should have shown maturity, but his mother had spoiled him too much.

On the other hand, Theodore didn't listen to what his son was saying and immediately ran toward the elevator that would take him to the fifteenth floor.

Luckily only the lights went out due to a broken cable, but other than that, everything worked fine.

"What did you get?" Theodore asked impatiently.

"It looks like the severed cable was intentionally cut," one of the bodyguards, who were in the same elevator as him, reported immediately.

"What about my study room?" Theodore asked.

"We've put several people on guard there, but nothing suspicious is found." They could only stand guard at the front as it was impossible for them to enter the room.

Theodore gritted his molars hard, and clenched his fists tightly.

Tordoff.

Again that family. The Tordoff surname was like a scourge within Theodore's eye and he would never forget what happened in the past.

Of course everything was over, but Theodore always felt there was a score that had not been settled right.
