Chapter 126: Hailey’s Rendezvous With The Love Rival!
The index and middle fingers of his right hand!
Those were the fingers on Cayden’s right hand that Jordan had broken!
The direct cause of the crippling of Cayden’s fingers was his affair with Jordan’s wife.
It seemed that Cayden intended to pay it back in his own coin.
Jordan liked that tactic!
Jordan smiled indifferently and asked, “What did Salvatore say?”
Pablo said, “Salvatore agreed to it because he was afraid that Shane Huxley would hire someone else to do it if he didn’t.”
“Mr. Jordan, I didn’t give Salvatore any instructions because you instructed us not to do anything to the Huxleys and Collins for the time being.”
“Okay.”
Jordan assented. Indeed, he didn’t plan to kill them just yet because he was saving that after his divorce.
Jordan hung up without saying anything else.
To his surprise, Victoria called as soon as he hung up.
Jordan was a little surprised. Ever since he reconciled with Hailey, Victoria rarely called him at such a late hour because she was a sensible woman who knew her boundaries.
“Hello.” Jordan answered the phone.
Victoria spoke in an urgent tone, and she seemed to be extremely flustered. “Jordan, bad news! I heard that the Huxleys have hired a killer and are offering six million dollars to have three of your fingers chopped off!”
“Don’t go out for the next two days!”
He didn’t expect Victoria to be so well-informed. As expected of someone who had been carving a career in Orlando for numerous years, she had a vast network of connections to businessmen as well as gangsters.
Although the information Victoria obtained wasn’t accurate enough, it was understandable.
At this moment, Hailey had just come out of the shower, clad in a bathrobe and her home slippers. Being only in the early stages of her pregnancy, her baby bump was barely noticeable, and her figure was alluring…
“Who are you speaking to over the phone?”
Hailey asked while wiping her wet hair with a towel.
“It’s Victoria,” Jordan answered Hailey.
Hailey flew into a rage and snapped, “Why are you talking to her at such a late hour!?! Hang up now!”
Jordan was displeased. ‘So you can talk to Cayden Huxley on the phone late at night, but I can’t do the same with Victoria?’
‘Besides, I’m talking to Victoria about serious matters, and we’ve never flirted with each other.’
‘What did you and Cayden Huxley talk about during your phone calls!?!’
Jordan didn’t want to argue with her, so he said to Victoria softly, “Got it, Victoria, thank you.”
Jordan then hung up, feeling even more grateful to Victoria.
Victoria seemed genuinely fond of Jordan because she was so nice to him even though he was now penniless.
In the day, she had taught Tyler a lesson on Jordan’s behalf, and later on, when she found out that Jordan had gotten into trouble with the law, she helped him out by using her personal connections.
Upon finding out that someone would harm Jordan, she called him immediately to give him a reminder.
At this moment, Jordan felt loved and cared for, which Hailey had never made him feel.
Perhaps, once Jordan divorced Hailey, he could choose to date Victoria.
At least, a woman like her is worthy of being entitled to a share of the Steeles’ inheritance.
Hailey felt a little jealous, and she once again questioned, “What were you guys chatting about just now? How long have you been on the phone with her? That brazen hussy Victoria Clarke knows that you’re married, but she still keeps flirting with you. What a cheap and shameless woman!”
Jordan explained, “Victoria called me to tell me that she heard Cayden Huxley had hired a killer to chop off my fingers for six million dollars.”
Hailey dropped the towel that she was holding in shock.
“What? He wants to have your fingers chopped off? No way!”
Hailey panicked too.
In her opinion, Cayden was a charming guy who didn’t seem to be someone who would do such a cruel thing.
Hailey did not pick up the towel and instead walked towards Jordan. She grabbed his arm and said, “Hubby, why don’t you just go and apologize to Cayden and admit your mistake? Maybe things won’t blow out of proportion if we talk things out with him.”
She wanted Jordan to apologize to his love rival?
Over his dead body!
Jordan said firmly, “I would rather go to jail than apologize to him! Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong at all.”
“You…” Hailey seemed to be rather displeased. “I’ll go if you won’t! I’ll go to the hospital early tomorrow morning and apologize to him while asking for his forgiveness.”
Jordan humphed coldly. ‘Hmph, given the relationship between you two, is there still a need for an apology?’
“You don’t need to beg him. I’ll just stay at home and not go out. It’s no big deal.”
Although Jordan no longer considered Hailey as his wife, he still didn’t want her to meet that person.
However, Hailey was insistent on it. “You can choose not to go out for a day, but you can’t hide forever. Stay out of this. Since I’m your wife, I should do something for you, or else that woman Victoria Clarke will speak ill of me again.”
“I’ll go to the hospital to see him together with you tomorrow morning. It’s settled then.”
Hailey was firm and adamant, not giving Jordan any chance for refusal.
Afterward, Hailey proceeded to dry her hair with the hairdryer, and they laid on the same bed quietly without talking to each other for the rest of the night.
Hailey woke up bright early in the morning and made herself some honey water. She even picked out several outfits in the room.
One after another, Hailey kept trying on the outfits she had picked and checked herself out in the mirror.
Each outfit she had chosen was beautiful, and they were all clothes that she would wear only to important events.
When Jordan woke up, he looked at Hailey, who was dolling herself up in front of the mirror, and asked, “Honey, why are you all dressed up when we’re just going to visit a patient? Besides, you don’t need to wear a dress, do you?”
Peeved by his words, Hailey retorted, “You’re such a male chauvinist. Why are you trying to decide what I should wear and telling me if I should wear a dress or not? The weather is so hot today, do you expect me to wear a pair of jeans instead!?!”
“Who am I dressing up for? It’s for you, isn’t it? I’m going to beg him for your sake, okay?”
“Can you please have a conscience? You’ve hurt someone, but you don’t have enough money to compensate the person you injured. Now that your wife is helping you settle the issue, you’re still poking your nose into this and that!”
Jordan smiled contemptuously. He really wanted to expose Hailey on the spot and let her know that he had long found out about her relationship with Cayden!
However, Hailey would know that he was pretending to be kicked out of his family if he were to do that.
Jordan didn’t say anything else and instead went back to sleep.
On the other hand, Hailey dolled herself up and drove to the hospital.
In the VIP ward of the hospital.
Cayden held his cell phone with his left hand and stared at the screen in boredom when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door twice.
“Come in.”
The ward door was pushed open slowly, and before Hailey even entered, a fragrant scent wafted up to Cayden’s nose.
The perfume Hailey was wearing today was the Chanel Chance Eau de parfum that Cayden had gifted to her previously.
“Wow, my goddess is here!”
Cayden’s mood was lifted as soon as he saw Hailey, and he immediately sat up straight.
Hailey closed the door after entering the ward.
She was dressed in a red vintage Chanel Audrey-Hepburn-style minidress that channeled the elegant beauty of women in the 50’s and 60’s.
Cayden was salivating at the mere sight of her back. He said to Hailey, “Darling, lock the door!”
Chapter 127: Hailey Chooses Cayden!
Hailey was surprised to hear that. “Huh? Lock the door? What if the nurse comes in later?”
Cayden said with a sinister smile, “That’s precisely why we have to lock the door to keep the nurse out. Let’s have some pillow talk for a while.”
At the same time, Cayden had already gotten out of bed and gone to the window to draw the curtains.
The room, initially filled with sunlight, immediately turned dull. It was also full of an ambiguous and flirtatious ambiance.
Hailey knew what Cayden intended to do when he asked her to lock the door. Her delicate face turned slightly red, and she was a little hesitant.
However, she nevertheless locked the door from inside.
Hailey then walked towards the bed and said, “Cayden, I’m sorry my husband hurt you so badly. Do your fingers still hurt?”
Cayden lowered his head to look at his right finger helplessly and exclaimed, “It doesn’t matter if it hurts or not. It’s a shame that I can’t use them ever again. Jordan is so f***ing ruthless!”
Hailey said with a guilty expression, “Cayden, I know Jordan is at fault for this, but I heard that you’re going to pay someone to chop off Jordan’s fingers.”
“Jordan is my husband, after all. We’ve been married for three years, and he has always been very good to me. I really hope you won’t hurt him, please, don’t do that, okay?”
Hailey may have had let Jordan down by cheating on him, and her attitude had also changed for the worse after Jordan was kicked out of the Steele family.
However, having been married to Jordan for three years, Hailey still had some feelings for him. Thus, she didn’t want anything untoward to happen to him.
Moreover, she knew how good Jordan was at playing the piano, and it would really be a huge pity if he lost his fingers.
Cayden had always pretended to be a refined gentleman in front of Hailey. Putting up a pretense and fooling others were his forte.
Cayden said, “My dear goddess, don’t you know me well enough? How can I possibly do such a cruel thing to your husband?”
“Does that mean… that the rumors are false?”
Hailey thought that Cayden was a jovial and handsome scion of a wealthy family who probably wouldn’t be that ruthless.
Cayden smiled and said, “Of course they’re untrue. I deliberately asked my brother to spread those rumors only because I’m trying to scare your husband into being too scared to leave his home. In fact, I didn’t send anyone to deal with him at all.”
Hailey was baffled. “You’re trying to scare my husband? Why? Why don’t you want him to leave the house?”
Cayden held onto Hailey’s fair and tender hand with a sinister smile.
“What else do you think the reason can be? Of course, it’s because I don’t want him to disturb you and me. If he keeps staying at home, we’ll get to meet each other outside every day, won’t we?”
Hailey took him for his word. She knew that Cayden adored her, and since she was married, they used to have to meet each other either bright early in the morning or late at night.
‘Perhaps, Cayden really doesn’t plan to harm Jordan.’
Looking at Hailey’s exquisite and delicate face, Cayden couldn’t help but kiss her.
However, Hailey pushed him away instinctively. “No… We can’t.”
Cayden was furious, but he didn’t vent his anger and instead remained patient.
“Hailey, I love you so much that I’m willing to forgo my fingers for your sake! Can’t you feel my love for you?”
Cayden had hit Jordan in the restaurant yesterday to take revenge on him for his aunt, Rosie.
Yet, he now claimed that he had done so for Hailey.
Hailey said, “I know you love me, but your family might not accept me.”
Obtaining the recognition and entitlement to a portion of the inheritance of a multi-billion-dollar family was still the most important thing to Hailey.
If Cayden purely wanted to be with her without the approval of his family, Hailey wouldn’t choose to get together with him either.
Cayden said, “I’ve already told my family about you. My grandfather said that he’ll let you marry me as long as you’re willing to have an abortion.”
“He wants me to have an abortion?” Hailey raised her head with a heavy heart.
Cayden nodded and said, “Yes, it doesn’t matter to me whether or not you abort the baby. My parents will go along with my decisions too. Still, my grandfather is very conservative and has an old-fashioned mindset. He doesn’t want you to marry me while carrying another man’s child.”
In fact, Hailey wasn’t surprised by the Huxleys’ request even though it made her uncomfortable.
Her “adviser” Rachel had told her a long time ago that even a normal family wouldn’t be able to accept a daughter-in-law who’s pregnant with another man’s child, let alone a wealthy and notable family like the Huxleys.
If Hailey wanted to marry Cayden, she would have to abort Jordan’s baby.
Ever since Jordan had been disowned by the Steeles, Hailey had already begun considering getting an abortion.
Even if she didn’t have Cayden as her backup plan, she would still plan to have the fetus aborted!
Reason being, a child would get in the way of her getting remarried unless she could find a man who was divorced and had a child too. However, Hailey wouldn’t fancy such a man.
She only liked young bachelors from wealthy families.
Cayden continued, “My brother, Shane, and I are the only third-generation heirs of the Huxleys. Shane and I are very close to each other, and we’ve never fought over the inheritance.”
“The Huxleys’ assets will be split equally between Shane and me in the future.”
“Hailey, if you are with me, I guarantee that you’ll become the happiest woman in this world!”
Cayden revealed a lot to Hailey. He was smart enough to tempt her with his assets and other material possessions.
Touched to hear his words, Hailey looked at Cayden intently and affectionately. “Cayden, you’re so good to me.”
At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was still wearing the wedding ring that Jordan had bought for her on her ring finger.
Cayden was overjoyed, and he kissed Hailey again, knowing that she had taken the bait.
This time, Hailey didn’t push Cayden away again and instead accepted his kiss…
New City residential estate.
Ever since Hailey left, Jordan had been fidgety and ill at ease. How could he have possibly gone back to sleep in peace?
He knew that Hailey and Cayden had already hooked up with each other previously. He was also confident that she would take this opportunity to have a rendezvous with Cayden again, this time under the pretext of apologizing to Cayden on his behalf.
Hence, he called Pablo and asked the latter to send someone to shadow Hailey while keeping close tabs on Cayden’s situation in the hospital ward.
Jordan had also long planted his snitches in the hospital, among the doctors, nurses, and patients.
There was also someone in the building opposite Cayden’s VIP ward, who was staring at him with a pair of binoculars.
Hailey arrived at Cayden’s ward at 10 am, and Jordan received a call at 12 noon.
“Mr. Jordan, your wife, is still in Cayden Huxley’s ward, and the curtains are still closed. A nurse tried to knock on the door just now, but she left after knocking a few times.”
Jordan was smoking a cigarette while feeling frustrated and vexed.
Hailey had stayed in Cayden’s room for two whole hours, with the doors locked and the curtains shut tightly.
What exactly had they been doing!?!
Chapter 128: I Want To Divorce Jordan!
“They can do whatever they like! I’m going to divorce Hailey Camden anyway. I won’t care about her!”
Jordan said that to himself countless times, but he still couldn’t stop himself from calling Hailey at 12:10 pm.
“Honey, where are you? I’ve already made lunch. Are you coming home for lunch?”
Jordan’s tone was calm, and he feigned ignorance.
Hailey said over the phone, “I’m still at the office, and I won’t go home for lunch. You go ahead on your own.”
Fortunately, Jordan sent someone to follow Hailey, or else she would have deceived him again!
‘This woman, who’s full of lies, has deceived me countless times in the past three years!’
Jordan naturally didn’t expose her either. Instead, he asked, “Didn’t you go look for Cayden Huxley in the hospital? How did it go?”
Hailey said, “Well, I’ve already apologized, but he’s severely injured, and he’s still piqued at the moment. So, he refuses to forgive you now. Just stay home for the time being and give it some time. I’ll go beg him again when I’m free.”
Jordan humphed gently. ‘Hah, the way you talk about him is so affectionate!’
‘You know very well yourself if you’ve gone to beg Cayden Huxley for forgiveness or took the opportunity to have a rendezvous with him!’
“Okay, that’s it for now. I have to go get busy.”
Hailey hung up before Jordan spoke again.
Hailey did not come out of Cayden’s hospital ward until 2 pm.
After leaving the hospital, she went to meet Rachel at a café.
At 5 pm, Hailey drove to Diana’s villa.
Diana, Benedict, Sylvie, and Herman’s family were all there.
Everyone was sitting on the couch, except for Hailey, who stood facing Diana in the middle of the hall.
She said, “Grandma, I want to divorce Jordan.”
Her words made the jaws of the Camdens drop.
During this period, the Camdens had put in plenty of effort to help Hailey reconcile with Jordan.
However, Hailey mentioned a divorce yet again!
“No way!” Diana was adamant. “Your grandfather had arranged for you and Jordan to be married, and we’ve already violated it once. We can’t do it again!”
Sylvie agreed with Hailey’s decision, so she said, “Things are different now. Hailey was indeed wrong to have initiated a divorce back then, but that was because he didn’t know of Jordan’s true identity yet.”
“However, even though we’re now aware of Jordan’s identity, he has already been expelled by his family, so he’s just an ordinary person. What’s the point of staying married to him?”
Elle, who was still wearing the stained dress and was now seated cross-legged, chuckled.
She said, “Exactly, just divorce him as soon as you can. I heard that there are gangsters out to deal with Jordan, and they’re hunting him down too. You should divorce him lest the Camdens get implicated.”
Drew smiled and said, “Since Hailey dares to mention divorce, she must have someone in mind to marry next. In this case, what’s the point of hesitating? Just get a divorce.”
Diana looked at Hailey and asked, “Have you chosen your next husband?”
Hailey looked somewhat embarrassed and awkward because she didn’t have the cheek to admit it in front of everyone.
Hailey was still Jordan’s wife, so if she admitted to choosing someone for her next husband, she would be indirectly admitting that she had cheated again on Jordan.
After a moment of thought, Hailey said, “There’s a guy who has been courting me, but I haven’t agreed to be with him.”
“Oh, is that so? Who is he? What’s his family background like? Is he from Orlando too?” Diana asked curiously.
Hailey shook her head and said, “He’s from New York, and his family runs a logistics business. His grandfather, Arthur Huxley, is the owner of Breezy Express.”
“What? He is the grandson of Mr. Huxley?”
Diana was shocked. All business owners knew who Arthur Huxley was!
Breezy Express was a household name too!
Sylvie grinned widely and said, “Wow, my daughter is fortunate. Now that Jordan has become a nobody, Hailey has another option. I know all about the Huxleys. They’re worth billions of dollars.”
“My silly daughter, since he fancies you, you should accept him. Anyway, you won’t have a future with Jordan Steele.”
At this moment, Elle even started praising Hailey for the sake of inciting Hailey to divorce Jordan.
“Oh my God, Hailey is really amazing, huh? I’ve always dreamed of marrying into the Huxley family. If you don’t want to accept him, let me have him instead!”
Hailey rolled her eyes at Elle smugly. She obviously wouldn’t let Elle have Cayden.
Drew laughed and said, “It must be Cayden Huxley, right? Grandma, I heard that that guy is tall, handsome, and has a great personality. Hailey is fortunate.”
“But I’ve also heard that he’s Tyler Collins’s cousin. He’s the one who got into a fight with Jordan, isn’t he? Jordan has broken his fingers, and he’s now in the hospital. Haha.”
Diana had also heard about the fight that Jordan got into, but he hadn’t had the time to understand the specific details of the situation.
“Jordan got into a fight with Arthur Huxley’s grandson? Did Jordan break his fingers?” Diana asked with a look of worry.
Hailey nodded.
Diana said worriedly, “According to my understanding, Arthur Huxley is definitely not a magnanimous person. He definitely wouldn’t spare Jordan if he knew that his grandson’s fingers had been broken.”
“Maybe then he will take the Camdens along with him and punish them together!”
“Sylvie, you’re right, things are different now, and we can’t obey your father-in-law’s wishes anymore.”
“Hailey, since Cayden likes you while Jordan doesn’t know how to behave himself and created such a huge trouble, it’s not our fault for being ruthless to him.”
“I approve of your divorce!”
With Diana’s consent, Hailey could go to the lawyer’s office to file for a divorce with Jordan whenever she wanted.
Benedict and Sylvie both heaved a sigh of relief.
Elle smiled and thought to herself gleefully, ‘Hehe, that idiot Hailey Camden is finally going to divorce Jordan. Jordan will be mine soon!”
After learning that Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation and that she was originally supposed to marry him, Elle imagined what life would’ve been like if she had married him then.
She loved chasing missed chances and swore that she would win Jordan’s heart.
Although Hailey was glad to have gotten Diana’s approval for a divorce, she felt like she was put in a tough spot.
“Grandma, I had to work so hard to get Jordan back and convince him to reconcile with me, and yet, I’m initiating divorce as soon as something bad has happened to him. I really can’t bring myself to do it.”
Hailey also felt that it was too mercenary and heartless of her to get a divorce from Jordan as soon as he got disowned by his family.
Sylvie said, “What’s wrong with that? He can’t blame others for his own incompetence. If you can’t bring yourself to talk to him about it, let me do it!”
Diana extended her hand and said, “Don’t do that. Jordan has helped us a lot recently and clinched many business deals for us. He also helped the Camdens advance from a second-tier family to a first-tier family.”
“Let’s not be too cruel to him and wait another month. Initiate the divorce with him in a month!”
Chapter 129: Elle’s Suggestion!
Diana was a prideful person too.
The Camdens were now a first-tier family in Orlando whose reputation was rising. Each and every move of theirs naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
If Hailey divorced Jordan right after being expelled from the family, it would definitely invite plenty of gossiping.
That would be disadvantageous for the Camdens, who were trying to gain a foothold in the business world.
When Hailey drove her Audi back to the New City residential estate, Jordan was still drowning his sorrows in wine and pretending to be dejected and despondent.
He also asked Hailey about her meeting with Cayden today, but Hailey obviously couldn’t tell him the truth.
She lied by saying that she had only met with Cayden for a few minutes before getting chased out of his ward.
‘Hah, you’re a great beauty and his dream girl. He treats you like his goddess. How can he bear to chase you out?’
It was a quiet night.
Hailey had really gone overboard as she had outrageously gone out in a dress with a low neckline.
Once again, she drove to the hospital to see Cayden!
“Mr. Jordan, your wife, has gone to Cayden Huxley’s ward, and like yesterday, they drew the curtains shut again.”
Pablo reported to Jordan.
“Damn!”
After hanging up, Jordan smashed the wine glass in his hand onto the ground forcefully!
He would never drink in the morning, and even if he was really expelled from the family, he would not choose to drink in the morning again after a night of drinking.
Yet Hailey had hurt him so badly that he was drowning his sorrows in wine in the morning for the first time in his life.
“Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore!”
As a man, how could he possibly still stay at home with peace of mind knowing that his wife had gone out on a rendezvous with another man!?!
He went to the door immediately to change into his shoes because he wanted to go to the hospital personally and kick the VIP ward’s doors open so that he could question Hailey and find out why she lied and did something like that!
He wanted to know how he had done her wrong to deserve this from her!
Although the plan that he had been devising for a long time might be ruined if he were to do so, he really couldn’t contain his emotions!
Knock-knock.
When Jordan was ready to go out, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It happened that Jordan was at the door, so he quickly opened the door.
Elle was standing outside the door, dressed in a tight-fitting black dress.
She seemed to have gotten a new hairstyle. Her long hair was now dyed and fluffy-looking.
“Hi.”
Elle greeted Jordan playfully and entered.
Jordan asked in bewilderment, “Elle? What are you doing here?”
After entering, Elle took the initiative to close the door. She then took off her heels and tiptoed to put her arms around Jordan’s neck unabashedly.
“I came because I miss you.”
Jordan hurriedly pushed Elle’s slender arms away and said, “Cut it out.”
Elle smiled and said, “I know you can’t go out for the time being, and I’m scared that you might be bored, so I came over to play with you. It’s boring in school anyway.”
“You don’t know how annoying my classmates are. They keep texting me to confess their love to me in class. They even passed me notes. How corny.”
Jordan looked at Elle, who was dressed like a socialite, and smiled. Indeed, she didn’t look like a college student.
It wasn’t that she looked much older than her age. She actually seemed very young.
However, her sartorial style and the social circle weren’t something ordinary college girls could compare to.
If she were to walk around campus in such an outfit, she would definitely attract the attention of all the boys in school.
Her dress was short, backless, and sleeveless, and she paired it with stilettos. That definitely wasn’t an outfit that ordinary college students would dare to wear.
Of course, even working women may not dare to take up this challenge because only those with a good figure could carry it well.
Elle seemed to be in high spirits today.
She said to Jordan, “I have a piece of good news for you. Grandma has agreed to let you and Hailey get divorced!”
“However, Grandma said that we shouldn’t bring up the divorce to you just after you’ve been disowned by your family. So, she told Hailey to wait for a month before mentioning it again.”
Jordan sighed and said with a sullen expression, “A month? I’m afraid I can’t wait that long.”
Only then did Elle realize that Jordan seemed to have been drinking and was not in a good mood.
She turned her head to look around and discovered shattered wine glasses in the living room.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly put on her slippers, not daring to be barefoot again, for fear that her fair and delicate feet would get cut and bleed.
Elle asked, “Jordan, are you also aware that Hailey has gone to see Cayden Huxley?”
Jordan was even more surprised. “Do you know about it too?”
Elle nodded and said, “I asked my brother to rent a room in the building opposite Cayden’s ward at the hospital to monitor them.”
“My brother called me just now, and guess what?”
“When Hailey entered the ward, she locked the door and kissed Cayden as soon as she saw him. They then closed the curtains, and God knows how far they’ve taken things!”
“That’s enough! Stop it!”
Jordan punched the wall with a sharp and murderous gaze in his eyes.
After pausing for a moment, Jordan sneered, “A month? Do you want me to wait at home for a month and watch Hailey Camden go on dates with another man every day? I can’t do that!”
Elle said, “Jordan, if you want to divorce Hailey sooner, I have an idea.”
“What is it?” Jordan immediately perked up.
Jordan had been hurt by the shameless Hailey time and time again, and now, all he wanted was to get rid of her sooner.
Elle laughed and said, “Hailey is now bent on divorcing you. She just can’t bring herself to say it. Well, you can just give her a reason to.”
“What reason?” Jordan asked again.
Jordan initially wanted to mock Elle for her lack of intelligence, but now he felt that she was much more intelligent than him.
Elle pointed at Jordan and then at herself again.
“Us?” Jordan asked apprehensively.
Elle nodded and said, “Yes, us. Think about it, if Hailey comes home to us sleeping together, what will her reaction be? She’d definitely fly into a rage and divorce you!”
Jordan understood Hailey’s temper well after being married to her for three years, and she was extremely strict with him too. She wouldn’t let him have friends of the opposite gender too.
Hailey had already gotten jealous of Victoria countless times before.
If she were to see Jordan and Elle together, Hailey would definitely lose her mind.
However, while it was a good solution, Jordan didn’t want to really get involved with Elle.
He really didn’t dare to get involved with women from the Camden family again.
He had difficulty getting rid of Hailey, and things would worsen if he got involved with Elle again.
An intelligent person will not get himself into a hellhole twice.
Besides, Jordan wasn’t divorced yet, so it was a matter of principle.
“How is it? Jordan, you know I’ve always fancied you, and I’m no longer underage…”
Elle began to look shyer and shyer.
Jordan knew that Elle was very popular in college, and she had a long list of suitors who would flock towards her at the mere wave of her hand.
She was also the lover that countless men dreamed of having!
Jordan hesitated for a long time and looked at Elle while speaking slowly.
Chapter 130: Divorce!!
Jordan said, “Elle, I’ve known you since you were 17 years old. I know you’re not a loose girl.”
“Your parents were very strict with you, and they’ve never let you date any boys.”
“So, we’d better just stage an act to deceive Hailey and stop once she falls for it, okay?”
Elle was slightly disappointed, but she was also rather touched. “Jordan, you’re such a good man. Men like you are rare in this world. It’s Hailey’s loss for being unable to cherish you. She really deserves it. I’ll listen to you and do your bidding.”
“Okay,” Jordan said, caressing Elle’s face smilingly.
Afterward, Jordan cleaned up the broken glass pieces on the ground.
He then waited quietly for Hailey to arrive.
Jordan wanted to pay Hailey back in her own coin and do unto her what she had done to him!
At half-past three in the afternoon, Hailey unlocked the door with her fingerprint ID and returned home.
Hailey was holding a large bag of fresh vegetables in her hand.
She headed to the supermarket straight after leaving the hospital.
As soon as she returned home, Hailey lamented, “Seriously, I have to go get the groceries now that you can’t go out. Jordan, take these vegetables and cook me dinner tonight.”
Hailey thought that Jordan was in the living room. Still, after failing to respond, she finally discovered that Jordan wasn’t in the living room.
“It’s broad daylight. Surely he isn’t sleeping, is he?”
Hailey wanted to go to the bedroom to take a look, but as soon as she walked towards the couch outside the bedroom, she suddenly saw a black dress on it.
“Huh? When did I leave my dress outside?”
Hailey thought it was her dress. After all, she had a large heap of clothes and long-forgotten what pieces she had.
Hailey picked it up, but when she held it, she suddenly felt that something was amiss.
She lowered her head to sniff the dress, only to find it strange. “Lemon-scented perfume? No, this is not my dress!”
Hailey had too many clothes, and she couldn’t remember if she had a dress like this one.
However, each individual’s preference in scents varies, and she had stopped using lemon-scented perfume two years ago.
“There’s another woman here!”
Hailey immediately thought of this possibility!
“Damn it, Jordan Steele! How dare you cheat on me!?!”
“Who is it!?! Who exactly is it!?!”
Hailey was furious, and she sprinted into the bedroom and pushed the door to enter.
“Elle?”
When Hailey saw Elle inside, she was dumbfounded and froze in shock.
She looked even more shocked than Jordan was when he saw her and Tyler in the Roxy Hotel previously.
“Ah, why are you back so early!?!”
Elle pretended to be surprised and hurriedly came out with the duvet wrapped around her body. She then changed into her dress and ran away.
If it was another woman, Hailey could not have let her leave her home so quickly.
She would have grabbed her by her hair and beat her up into a pulp.
However, Elle had always been the apple of her grandmother’s eye, and she had never actually hit Elle even when they bickered.
Hence, Hailey could only take her anger out on Jordan!
Hailey walked towards Jordan furiously and raised her hand to give him a tight slap.
Smack!
Hailey cursed furiously, “Jordan Steele! You’re so shameless! You really disgust me! I went to beg for you and bought the groceries. Yet, you’re fooling around with another woman at home! You’re cheating on me with my cousin! How can you be such a scumbag!?!”
While cursing, she raised her arm again in a bid to slap Jordan once more.
However, this time, Jordan grabbed Hailey’s wrist and didn’t let her get her way.
He pushed her and lashed out at her too.
“I’m shameless? I’m disgusting? I’m a scumbag? Hailey Camden, what about you? Have you ever cared about shame?”
“Now you know to be angry, huh? When you checked into a room with Tyler, did you consider my feelings!?!”
Jordan had long wanted to have a tiff with Hailey!
Hailey sneered, “Fine, you’re raking up the past now, huh? Rachel is right. You’re a petty man. You’re definitely still bearing grudges about that matter! Whenever we have an argument, you bring up that matter again. What kind of a man are you!?!”
“Let’s get a divorce!”
Hailey finally said the words that Jordan had been waiting to hear!
She finally initiated a divorce!
However, at this moment, Jordan was so enraged that he turned her down!
“No! I’m not getting a divorce! Why should I get a divorce? I forgave you for what happened between you and Tyler back then and chose not to get a divorce with you.”
“Consider us even this time. Why can’t you forgive me when I have already forgiven you?”
“Most of the time, a celebrity couple will cheat on each other too, but in most cases, the woman will forgive the man while the man will resolutely choose to divorce the cheating wife!”
“Why is it the other way around when it comes to us? Are we in a different society than them!?!”
Jordan couldn’t stomach it at all. As a man, he felt highly aggrieved.
Hailey sneered, “You actually have the cheek to compare us to celebrities? Do you know how much money those male celebrities who cheated on their wives make? If you’re still an heir of the Steele family now, I can forgive you!”
“But you’re nothing now! You’re not fit to cheat!”
Jordan was helpless, disappointed, and heartbroken!
“Haha, at the end of the day, it’s still because of money! It turns out that rich men who cheat are the ones who deserve to be forgiven.”
Jordan looked at Hailey in disdain. He utterly despised her!
Jordan said, “Okay, I agree to get a divorce. I’m not a penniless man who isn’t worthy of the high and mighty Camden family!”
“I won’t hold you back from finding another rich and powerful man, but now that you are pregnant, I hope you can give birth to the baby and let me have custody. You can then get married again.”
To his surprise, Hailey said coldly, “I’ve already had an abortion.”
“What did you say?” Jordan glared at Hailey with her eyes wide open.
Hailey shouted, “I said I got rid of the baby! You don’t even have a decent job now. Do you want the baby to suffer with you after he or she is born?”
Jordan’s right hand trembled continuously as he couldn’t tolerate it any longer. He raised it and slapped Hailey on her face!
Smack!
Of course, Jordan controlled his strength, but Hailey still got slapped and fell to the ground.
When Hailey said that Jordan was disgusting just now, he had long wanted to hit her!
‘Which one of us is disgusting!?!’
‘You not only cheated on me with Tyler Collins, but you also cheated with Cayden Huxley too. Besides, Elle and I didn’t do anything at all! We were just acting!’
‘You’re the disgusting woman!’
‘You have no right to badmouth me!’
Previously, Jordan didn’t hit her because Hailey was pregnant.
However, now that he knew that she had gotten an abortion, he couldn’t stand it any longer.
“The baby belongs to both of us. What right do you have to abort it without my permission!?!”
Jordan questioned Hailey loudly!
