Chapter 469 DELIVERY
Apple swore she didn't want to get involved with these two again, but the truth was she couldn't just ignore the two of them and she felt really sorry for herself.
D*mn!
Apple tried to remember how these two people had hurt her but that wasn't enough and here she was.
Apple parked her motorbike and stepped into an old, empty building, like an abandoned building that had not been completed and found Kyle and Maureen in the middle of the building, while almost the rest of the group stood around the two of them.
"Apple…!" Maureen screamed as soon as she saw Apple had arrived and rushed over to her, crying as she hugged her.
But Apple didn't feel very empathetic toward her, she only came because she promised to herself that this would be the last time she'd help these two bastards.
"No need to hug me, we're not that close," Apple said coldly, then pushed Maureen away from her and ignored the hurt look the girl gave her.
Maureen then walked a little behind her, as if she were hiding behind the girl's body.
"Apple… I didn't expect you to come for them, after what those two did to you," a man in his thirties, with a body adorned with tattoos, began in a languid tone. "You're being too good for them, aren't you?"
"I feel more like I'm stupid than good," Apple replied. Her eyes caught a glimpse of Kyle, who seemed to have passed out with his body covered in wounds and blood dripping from his nose and lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttsk! Why was he always in such a state whenever a problem like this came up?
"Yeah, you're beautiful and stupid," the man agreed with what Apple said and laughed to himself, while those around them stared at Apple coldly.
They weren't really hostile to Apple for leaving the group, because it wasn't the girl's fault that she decided not to join them anymore, but they were just sad that Apple still cared so much about Kyle and Maureen to come back to this place.
"Let's just get this over with quickly," Apple said impatiently. "How much do they have to pay this time?"
Apple was ready with the cash that she brought in her backpack, because when Maureen sent her a message, she also told her about the amount they had to pay their Chairman.
But, when Jerome, the Chairman, said the sum Kyle and Maureen had to pay, Apple was so shocked. It was an amount beyond her wildest imaginations.
"What?!" Apple cried in disbelief and instinctively she turned her head and glared at Maureen who was still standing behind her with her head down. "You didn't mention that many zeroes in your message!" Apple shouted at the girl in annoyance.
The amount that Jerome mentioned was five times the number Maureen had told her.
"I'm sorry Apple..." Maureen said with a sad tone, she then knelt in front of Apple while holding her hand, as if she were afraid that the girl would immediately leave the place without helping herself and Kyle. "If I punched the real number in, I'm afraid you won't come to this place."
Now, Apple really wanted to kill them both with her own hands for getting her involved.
"Fuck you two!" Apple growled. She felt very stupid for coming back to this place with the intention of helping the two humans who had betrayed her.
Maureen had been her best friend since childhood, the only person she wanted to be friends with when all the other kids turned away from her because her mother and stepfather had a bad reputation in the town where they lived.
As for Kyle, Apple was indebted to her ex-boyfriend because he was the man who helped her through the tough times when she was still living with her mother and stepfather.
Everything seemed perfect, until one day Apple discovered the two of them were having an affair behind her back.
But, after all the drama that had happened and what the two of them had done to her, Apple forgave them, simply because remembering the two of them were all she had over the years and how they had always been by her side even in her worst moments.
But, forgiving was not the issue here, forgetting was.
"Fuck you two," Apple growled again.
Maureen, who saw Apple's anger, immediately hugged the girl's legs while kneeling and crying. "I'm sorry, we needed money, we needed money."
"What do you need that much money for?!" Apple cried angrily.
The two of them should have known that borrowing money from Jerome was not a solution, and even though they were members of the group of men, Jerome would not tolerate it if the problem was money.
"We only used half of the money, half of which was interest on our loans," Maureen explained.
And yet again Apple was surprised. "How can you give them such a huge amount?!" This time, her anger was directed at Jerome. She glared at the man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJerome was the worst version of a human.
"They agreed." Jerome shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "They agreed to the conditions I told them and I gave them."
He couldn't be blamed, because it was Kyle and Maureen who signed in for this.
Apple rubbed her face roughly.
"What do you need that much money for?" Apple asked Maureen, still trying to control her emotions.
"I'm pregnant and we decided to get out of town," Maureen said shyly. Of course it was Kyle's.
"And how do you think they're going to be able to pay it back asshole?!" Apple cried to Jerome. The two of them could be said to have no money at all, so how could Jerome believe that the two of them would pay that much money.
"I only needed them to do two jobs, but they failed in the second one." Jerome then walked toward Kyle and kicked his body.
"What job is that?" Apple asked, with her eyes narrowed. Any work that came from Jerome was suspicious.
"Delivery."
