Chapter 106: Making The Huxleys Go Bankrupt!
Seeing how unusually sensitive Hailey was to his words, so much so that she had overreacted, Jordan asked, “What’s the matter? Do you know Cayden Huxley?”
Hailey frantically shook her head and said, “No… I don’t. I’ve just heard Tyler mentioning him before…”
Afterward, she asked, “Hubby, will the corporation be okay now that the Huxleys have deliberately attacked us?”
Jordan analyzed, “Based on that 43-page short-selling report, the Huxleys are trying to make the Ace Corporation go bankrupt and wind up. Given their power, it is indeed quite easy for them to make a smaller corporation like ours collapse.”
“Unfortunately, I’m the president of Ace Corporation, and this is my training ground. I will not let anyone make the Ace Corporation shut down.”
Seeing how worried Hailey was, Jordan smiled and touched her face. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll be beaten into poverty by them? Don’t worry. Your husband isn’t that weak.”
“You don’t have to worry about the matters in Ace Corporation. Just focus on nursing your pregnancy and take care of the matters at Hailey Residences. You don’t have to keep coming to the office. Ignore all calls from any reporters.”
Hailey smiled and said, “Yes, I have faith in you, Hubby. I’m going to the washroom. You go ahead.”
When Hailey arrived in the washroom, she secretly called Cayden.
“Darling, we’ve only parted for a while. Do you miss me already?”
Cayden said to Hailey affectionately over the phone.
Hailey whispered, “Cut it out! Let me ask you, did you falsely accuse my husband’s company, Ace Corporation?”
Cayden said smugly, “Yes, I was the one who did it. The stock price of Ace Corporation has plummeted by 23% today, and so has your husband’s net worth. This is just the first day, and the stock price of Ace Corporation will continue to slump further. He will soon become penniless!”
Slightly angered, Hailey snapped, “Why did you do that!?! Is it because of your aunt? I’ve told you, my husband is not into women much older than him, and I’m the only one he loves. Nothing could have happened between him and your aunt!”
Cayden roared, “It’s not because of my aunt, but for you!”
“For me?” Hailey was stunned.
Cayden said, “I love you, Hailey! Over the past few days, I’ve fallen madly in love with you, and I want to snatch you from Jordan Steele!”
“So, I’m going to go to war with him in business and defeat him before taking you away!”
Hailey did not expect Cayden to become so impulsive and extreme!
The past few days were initially delightful for Hailey!
At home, she was showered with Jordan’s love and affection. When working at the site of Hailey Residences, she would relish the feeling of being coaxed by her suitor, Cayden.
She liked the feeling of having two men at the same time!
She even hoped that she could continue having the best of both worlds.
However, she didn’t expect that Cayden couldn’t wait any longer and didn’t want to be her side lover anymore.
Hailey didn’t dare to expect a billionaire like him to be willing to be her side lover anyway.
Hence, Hailey’s attitude became firm. “Cayden Huxley, stop targeting Ace Corporation and my husband. I love him very much, and our baby is going to be born soon. I won’t get into a relationship with you! It’s time to stop your wishful thinking!”
After saying that, Hailey hung up.
She then quickly called Rachel.
Hailey said anxiously in a moment of panic, “Rachel, something terrible has happened! Have you seen the news? Ace Corporation’s stock price has plunged by more than 23%, and it was Cayden’s doing! He said he did it for me. What do you think I should do?”
Rachel said, “Honey, why are you panicking? You should be happy that two men are fighting over you. Just let Cayden and Jordan fight each other by themselves, be it in business or the stock market. You can just leave with the winner.”
“Seriously? How can that work!?! I’m pregnant with Jordan’s child. Of course, I want to be with Jordan. I’ve already told Cayden just now that I won’t leave Jordan for him and asked him to stop doing this for me,” Hailey said.
Rachel hurriedly said, “My dear, you shouldn’t have been so quick to make a decision. If Cayden defeats Jordan and he ends up going bankrupt, will you still stay with Jordan?”
Hailey said worriedly, “I doubt that will happen, right? Jordan seems to be very composed. Besides, his grandfather won’t sit back and do nothing. An incredibly wealthy family like theirs won’t be defeated so easily.”
Rachel continued trying to brainwash Hailey. “Have you met Jordan’s grandfather? Do you know the exact situation of the Steeles? You’re not even certain if the Steeles are really that wealthy, are you? They might not be as rich as they claim to be.”
“But the Huxleys, on the other hand, are genuinely a top-tier family that everyone in this country is aware of. You’d better text Cayden to apologize and give yourself a backup plan. After all, Cayden is doing this for your sake. Do you know how much money he had to spend to make the stock price of Ace Corporation plunge by more than 30%? Cayden has spent a bomb for you!”
Previously, Hailey managed to win Jordan back thanks to Rachel’s help.
Thus, she still trusted Rachel the most now.
Hence, she sent Cayden a text.
“Cayden, I’m sorry for saying those hurtful things to you just now. It’s not that I don’t like you. It’s just that I’m pregnant with Jordan’s child, and I’m afraid you’ll mind it.”
Cayden quickly replied, “I told you earlier, I don’t mind if you have a child. Regardless of who the father of your child is, I will treat them as my own. I must snatch you away from Jordan Steele!”
Hailey did not reply again.
As soon as the stock market opened, there was a steep hike in the stock price of Ace Corporation.
Not only did it successfully recover from yesterday’s plunge, it even rose by an additional 5%.
However, during the trading session, Cayden continued to release news that would be unfavorable to Ace Corporation and continued shorting the shares of Ace Corporation to suppress the price.
“Mr. Steele, Cayden Huxley has made another move. The company’s stock price has dropped again!”
Victoria reported while observing the movement of the stock price.
Jordan chuckled. “They’re throwing money at me for no reason.”
Afterward, he called Butler Frank again and asked, “Does Grandpa know about this?”
Butler Frank answered, “Yes, Mr. Steele Senior said that the Ace Corporation is the place for you to complete your test and mission. You must save it regardless of how much money it takes. Mr. Steele Senior wants you to rest assured, he has already prepared 15 billion dollars to go against the Huxleys.”
“15 billion dollars? That’s as much money as the Huxleys can afford to fork out, right?” Jordan said with a smile.
Butler Frank said, “Yes, Mr. Steele Senior said that since the Huxleys want to do this, he’ll turn them from riches to rags by making them go bankrupt.”
Jordan nodded. “Alright, let’s have some fun with them!”
Chapter 107: Learning Of The Truth!
Ace Corporation itself was just a tiny corporation that was worth almost a billion dollars. Yet, the Huxleys were willing to use dozens of billions worth of assets to go against them.
Since the Huxleys wanted to destroy the Ace Corporation, the Steeles would try and make Ace Corporation survive.
In the next two days, both families invested plenty of money in the Ace Corporation’s industries to go against each other in the stock market.
Each family invested a few hundred million dollars!
However, when the market closed on Friday, the stock price of Ace Corporation remained firm in its place!
On the same day, Cayden received a call from his grandfather, Arthur Huxley.
“Grandpa…”
When Cayden picked up the call, he didn’t dare to speak loudly at all. So far, he had already spent close to a billion dollars of his family’s assets to go against Jordan.
Arthur rebuked on the other end of the line, “Come back to New York! Stop contending with Jordan Steele! The Ace Corporation is worth just a few hundred million but you’ve already spent close to a billion dollars trying to make it close down! You’re such a fool!”
“Grandpa, I…” Cayden really wanted to explain.
Arthur said firmly, “You don’t have to go on! As soon as the market opens on Monday, close all your trades and let go of all the stocks you have! I said I do not want to go against the Steeles for the time being!”
Cayden hung up the phone and gritted his teeth.
“Ah!”
Cayden smashed his iPhone against the ground in exasperation and yelled, “Why is Jordan Steele’s grandfather willing to support him endlessly with unlimited money, but my grandfather isn’t?!”
The Huxleys aren’t afraid of them at all!’
Cayden felt that if he closed his positions as soon as the market opened on Monday, all his losses would be finalized. He will never be able to recoup them.
He felt that it would make his efforts go in vain.
However, he couldn’t disobey his grandfather.
“I’ve lost!”
Cayden knelt on the ground in chagrin, his hair completely unkempt. At this moment, he looked just like a lunatic and nothing like a scion of a wealthy and prestigious family.
A moment later, Cayden suddenly lifted his head with a menacing gaze in his eyes.
“Jordan Steele, you’ve insulted my aunt, but I didn’t get to snatch your wife away from you. However, Tyler Collins has once insulted you!”
“Hah, I believe you’re still foolishly thinking that Tyler and your wife didn’t sleep with each other that day, huh?”
Cayden picked up his cell phone from the ground and found a 1GB audio file saved in a private file folder on his phone.
With a wicked smile on his face, Cayden continued, “Okay, I never cared to do such a despicable thing at first, but since I can’t defeat you, I can’t let you live well either! I’ll let you enjoy the pleasant sounds of your wife moaning!”
At four o’clock in the following morning.
Jordan slowly opened his eyes as he felt an urge to use the washroom.
He habitually took a glance at his cell phone before getting out of bed, only to see that he had received an email from an anonymous sender.
Jordan was bewildered when he saw the title.
“Hailey Camden’s melodious singing!”
Jordan was baffled, but he knew that his wife, Hailey, was a good singer. After all, she had specially learned music before.
Jordan turned to his side to glance at Hailey, who was sound asleep, and wondered to himself, ‘Did Hailey send this to me?’
Afraid to wake Hailey up, Jordan decided to put on his earphones to listen to the audio file.
Forty minutes later.
Jordan’s face was flushed, and he was clenching his fists tightly with his eyes full of menace as he felt a strong urge to kill someone!
The audio file wasn’t a recording of Hailey’s singing at all, but the evidence of her sleeping with Tyler!
‘Hailey Camden! You lied to me!!’
Jordan was screaming furiously internally. Although there wasn’t a visual video, he was absolutely sure it was Hailey’s voice.
Well, because Jordan and Hailey had been getting intimate lately, so he was way too familiar with the pleasant sounds of her moaning!
Jordan gazed at Hailey’s side profile, which was still as pretty and elegant.
However, at this moment, Jordan wanted to slap her face that swept countless men off their feet and made them fall head-over-heels for her!
However, after he raised his hand, he dropped it again!
He couldn’t bring himself to do it!
On the one hand, Jordan still had feelings for Hailey, whom he had always loved and pampered. He would never hurt her.
The fact that he had never hit any woman in his life was a matter of principle.
On the other hand, Hailey was now pregnant with his child!
Jordan was a martial arts practitioner, and he was afraid that he might lose control of his emotions and continue hitting Hailey further after giving her a slap.
The weak and vulnerable Hailey definitely wouldn’t be able to take a beating from Jordan, and she might even suffer a miscarriage!
In fact, there was a more important reason that Jordan decided not to hit Hailey or question why she had lied to him!
‘If I hit Hailey or wake her up now and question her about her decision to lie to me, she’ll definitely have a million excuses for her actions and definitely beg me on her knees again like she did the last time.’
‘But if I choose to be softhearted, I might not be able to bring myself to do it when the time comes!’
‘Even if I decide to have a heart of stone, Hailey Camden will definitely not divorce me!’
‘Besides, I’ve also promised Grandaunt Lily that I will never divorce Hailey unless she initiates a divorce!’
Indeed, the reason that Jordan couldn’t bring himself to initiate a divorce resolutely previously was because of the promise that he had made to Lily when she was on her deathbed!
Jordan was a man of his word who valued promises greatly. Since he had given Lily his promise, he wouldn’t go back on his word.
However, it was established that Hailey had lied to him and even had an extramarital affair!
Jordan really didn’t want a woman like her anymore!
Hence, Jordan had to hold back now and feign ignorance about this matter while finding a way to make Hailey initiate a divorce!
Jordan went to the washroom quietly.
He then called his grandfather.
His grandfather was in England at the moment, and it was about nine in the morning.
“Grandpa, are you awake?”
Jordan sounded like he was sobbing. He was feeling extraordinarily aggrieved, but he couldn’t question his wife loudly and ask her why she cheated on him, nor could he vent his anger.
Jordan’s grandfather was named Charleston Steele, a name that very few had heard of. The bigwigs of the local business industry who had seen him would all just call him Mr. Steele.
Charleston said, “Jordan, you rarely take the initiative to call me. What happened?”
Charleston could tell that Jordan was emotionally unstable at the moment.
Jordan said, “I’m sorry, Grandfather, I can’t complete the trial of Ace Corporation this time.”
Charleston asked, “Is it because of the Huxleys’ attack? Don’t worry about it, my dear grandson. I may not be in town, but I have many good friends over there. You don’t have to take a mere Huxley family seriously. They can’t make Ace Corporation fold.”
To his surprise, Jordan said, “I don’t want to be the president of the Ace Corporation anymore. I want to give up on the test this time.”
“Why? What exactly happened?” Charleston asked in bewilderment.
Hence, Jordan told his grandfather everything that had happened with Hailey during this period.
Charleston let out a long sigh after hearing his words!
Chapter 108: Jordan’s Plan For Divorce!
Charleston sighed and said, Jordan, I actually guessed that something like this would happen when I chose to let you become a live-in husband back then. A woman is a hurdle that a man must go through in this life, and having experienced betrayal may not necessarily be a bad thing for you.”
“I just didn’t expect you to be so deeply in love with Hailey Camden.”
“Actually, she wasn’t the one I intended for you to marry back then because I just wanted you to marry an ordinary girl. However, your second brother insisted on picking a beautiful woman to be your wife because he thinks that it’s hard enough on you to have to be a live-in husband for three years.”
“Now it seems that your second brother’s good intentions have hurt you instead.”
Indeed, all men care about appearance to varying extents.
If Hailey wasn’t as pretty and svelte as she was, Jordan wouldn’t have adored her as much as he did in the past three years.
At this moment, Jordan realized that some beautiful and materialistic women are like thorny roses that can be appreciated from afar but never be plucked and brought home.
Especially when one isn’t powerful enough!
Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before she cheats!
Because beautiful women tend to have numerous suitors, some might not be able to resist countless temptations, even if they do so once.
The self-control abilities of humans are not to be overestimated!
Seeing that Jordan wasn’t saying anything, Charleston asked, “Jordan, what are you going to do? Divorce her? Anyway, she hasn’t inherited our family’s assets yet. With our power, she won’t dare to refute if we force her to sign the divorce agreement.”
“But she’s pregnant with my child now, and we have to keep the baby! Of course, when the baby is born, we must get a DNA test done!”
Children mattered greatly to the older generation.
In fact, some rich and powerful families would make their sons marry a beautiful wife and then pressure her to give birth to at least two sons within two to three years.
Once the children were born, they would kick their daughters-in-law out of the family immediately because their purpose of childbirth had already been achieved.
Hailey had a stunningly beautiful face and superb talent in music and art, which was what the Steeles looked for in women.
Charleston didn’t care about what Hailey’s character was like. As long as she was carrying Jordan’s child, the Steeles had full custody of them.
Jordan also felt that the child was innocent, and he couldn’t bear to kill an unborn life!
Hence, he had the same thoughts as Charleston and wanted Hailey to give birth to the baby!
Jordan said, “Grandpa, I can’t thrash things out with her and divorce her right away now. Some time ago, her grandaunt passed away, and I promised her on her deathbed that I will never divorce Hailey unless Hailey takes the initiative to divorce me.”
So what do you mean??” Charleston began to feel puzzled.
Jordan answered, “Hailey is a materialistic and vain woman. Once I become penniless, I’m 100% certain that she will take the initiative to divorce me.”
“So, Grandpa, I hope that you’ll kick me out of the family!”
Jordan’s words caught Charleston by surprise.
How could he bear to kick his grandson out of the family!?!
Charleston agreed, “Alright, I’ll help you put on an act. Well, the Huxleys happen to be trying to deal with you, right? I won’t help you maintain the stock price of Ace Corporation anymore so that you can pretend to be defeated by the Huxleys.”
“Yes!”
That was actually a good excuse that wouldn’t arouse Hailey’s suspicions.
Actually, Jordan was somewhat thankful for Cayden’s decision to go against him. Otherwise, he would have to rack his brains to find an excuse to get rid of the shameless woman, Hailey!
After hanging up, Jordan immediately freshened up. While brushing his teeth, the unbearable sounds of Hailey’s moaning seemed to still be ringing in his ears!
Jordan was so furious that his gums started bleeding because of how hard he was brushing his teeth!
Jordan spat out the water in his mouth that was mixed with blood and toothpaste and said while facing the mirror, “Hailey Camden, I trusted you so much, but you intentionally hid it from me and lied to me for such a long time!”
In fact, what happened between Hailey and Tyler wasn’t an unforgivable sin, but Jordan loathed the fact that she had lied to him!
After washing up, Jordan returned to the bedroom, ready to get dressed and go to the office where he would spend the entire day, away from her. When Jordan looked at Hailey now, he would feel a strong urge to question her and even hit her!
“Hubby, why are you up so early?”
During this period, Hailey had been getting out of bed earlier than usual to spend more time with Cayden alone.
Hence, she woke up when she heard the movement in the room.
Hailey rubbed her eyes and looked at Jordan.
Jordan said to himself, ‘I mustn’t look like I’m already aware of the truth or else, I won’t be able to divorce her!’
Jordan assented without looking at her.
After looking at the time, Hailey said, “It’s time for me to get out of bed too. Hubby, make me a cup of honey water.”
Since they reconciled, their past habits and daily routines resumed.
Every morning, Jordan would personally make Hailey a cup of honey water that she could drink to enhance her beauty.
However, that was the last thing Jordan wanted to do now!
‘I make you a cup of honey water every morning and buy you the best beauty masks from Valmont. I didn’t help you maintain your beauty just so you can go out and seduce other men!’
Jordan was full of indignation.
However, Hailey did not realize Jordan’s psychological changes and said impatiently, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up. I’m thirsty.”
Forcing himself to contain his anger, Jordan agreed, “Okay.”
Jordan headed outside to the hall and made Hailey a warm glass of honey water using water with 60 degrees Celsius. He then brought it to the room to serve it to Hailey.
Hailey did not get out of bed and drank the honey water while still lying on the bed.
After taking two steps, Hailey said gleefully, “I’m so blissful. I get to drink honey water made by my husband every day!”
‘Hmph, of course, you’re blissful. You have a man at home and another man outside. With two men putting you on a pedestal and serving you like you’re a princess, how can you not be blissful!?!’
Jordan was full of disdain.
“Something cropped up at the office. I have to get going.” Jordan was getting ready to leave.
After they reconciled, Jordan and Hailey had a new habit of giving each other a morning kiss after waking up every day.
Most girls liked sharing morning kisses with their significant other every day.
At the thought of Hailey’s betrayal, Jordan couldn’t bring himself to kiss her!
However, to keep Hailey from suspecting, he had no choice but to do it.
“I’ll get going now. I might be home late tonight.”
After giving her a hasty morning kiss, Jordan walked out of the bedroom on the third floor and headed to the bathroom on the first floor instead of leaving the villa immediately.
He brushed his teeth again!
Kissing Hailey made him feel sick and repulsed!
Chapter 109: Tailing His Wife!
The content of the audio file in the email lingered in Jordan’s head for a long time.
The more he tried to forget it, the clearer it was in his memory.
Jordan was initially relieved that it was just an audio file without any graphic, visual content.
However, words and sounds are sometimes more unbearable than explicit videos and images!
Reason being, words and sounds without any visual images leave more to the imagination!
Video can only be presented in one way, but there are endless possibilities when it comes to the imagination!
“That beast, Tyler Collins!”
Jordan hit the sink forcefully. He had already decided that he must take revenge!
Hailey, Tyler, and even Rachel!
Jordan would not spare anyone who was involved in that matter!
A question suddenly emerged in Jordan’s mind. ‘Why has Hailey been going to work so early in the morning and coming home at such a late hour every night?’
‘Hailey is pregnant, so she should be taking care of her health and getting more rest now.’
Jordan initially thought that Hailey was just worried about the ‘Hailey Residences’ project and thus, made it a point to supervise the construction every day.
However, Jordan now felt that the matter definitely wasn’t that simple!
“Could it be that Tyler Collins is back?”
Jordan suspected that Hailey had been leaving home early and returning late every single day!
He even began to wonder if he was really the father of the baby Hailey was carrying!
Jordan could no longer stay calm, but he had to put on a good act to get to the bottom of the truth.
Firstly, Jordan pretended to drive to the company, but along the journey, he called Salvatore and exchanged cars with him.
Afterward, Jordan drove an inconspicuous Toyota Prius back to Rose Garden Villa.
Shortly after, Jordan discovered that Hailey had walked out from the entrance of the villa.
“That’s strange. Why isn’t Hailey driving to work?”
There were many luxury cars in Jordan’s garage, which Hailey could drive as she pleased.
If she didn’t want to drive herself, she could always ask the chauffeur to ferry her.
However, Hailey called a taxi with her cell phone.
Of course, the “taxi” she called wasn’t an ordinary one but a luxurious Jaguar.
Jordan now treated all men around Hailey as his enemy, and when he saw the Jaguar, he even felt that the driver of that car had a thing going on with Hailey!
However, Hailey was sitting in the backseat of the car, and she even confirmed something with the driver before getting in. Hence, she didn’t seem to have known the driver personally.
Jordan drove the Prius along the road, quietly tailing the Jaguar that Hailey was seated in.
When they stopped at the traffic light junction, Jordan accidentally let the engine of the car stall because he hadn’t driven a car with manual transmission for a long time and thus, was a little rusty.
Jordan almost didn’t catch up with the Jaguar. Still, fortunately, he knew that Hailey was headed to the construction site of Hailey Residences, so he didn’t lose track of them.
The Jaguar left after Hailey alighted upon arriving at Hailey Residences.
“It looks like Hailey did charter a private-hire cab, but why didn’t she ask the chauffeur to send her instead?”
With Jordan’s power in Orlando, it wouldn’t be an issue for him to prepare a hundred chauffeurs for Hailey, which would be even safer too.
After arriving at Hailey Residences, Jordan discovered that Hailey seemed to be looking for someone but to no avail. She then pulled out her cell phone and made a call to someone.
However, she didn’t get through to him.
“Is she calling Tyler Collins? Great, you guys didn’t have enough fun back in that hotel, did you? Now you want to rekindle the passion with your old flame, huh!?!”
Seeing how frustrated Hailey looked after failing to reach the person she tried to call. How eager she seemed to be about seeing her old flame, Jordan felt a strong urge to drive over and run her over with the car in a fit of anger!
However, as soon as he stepped on the pedal, the engine stalled again.
“Ugh! This damned manual transmission!”
‘Perhaps, this is God’s will!’
Overwhelmed with exasperation, Jordan called Drew immediately.
Drew seemed to have not woken up completely yet as he asked sleepily, “What’s the matter, Jordan?”
Jordan said, “I want to ask you something, and I want to hear an honest answer from you. And, don’t tell anyone else that I’ve asked you this question! If you can’t do it, you know what the consequences are!”
Jordan was now going to stage an act to make Hailey initiate a divorce with her.
Hence, he couldn’t let Hailey know that he was already checking up on her. On the other hand, Drew was now completely subservient towards Jordan after being beaten up into a pulp by him previously. Thus, Drew was the most reliable candidate.
Drew said, “Jordan, I’ve yet to fully recover from the wounds I sustained after you beat me up. I’m not sick of living. I wouldn’t dare to defy you.”
Jordan asked, “Has Tyler Collins returned to Orlando? Did he meet Hailey at the site of Hailey Residences?”
Drew quickly answered, “Jordan, I really have no idea. Ever since you reconciled your marriage with Hailey and she became the deputy director of the project, she kicked me out and forbids my father and I from going to the site.”
“Jordan, do you suspect that Hailey is hooking up with Tyler again? No way, the Collins have gone bankrupt. Why would Hailey continue seeing him?”
Drew’s words gave Jordan a reminder.
A husband would know his wife the best. Jordan knew that Hailey was a vain and materialistic woman who wouldn’t be attracted to a poor man.
Given the terrible state that Tyler was in, Hailey wouldn’t get involved with him again, even if she had had an affair with him in the past.
“Could it be that it’s not Tyler Collins she’s seeing?”
‘If it’s not Tyler Collins, that just means that there’s another man apart from Tyler Collins!’
That was even more unacceptable and intolerable!
It was somewhat understandable that Hailey would cheat on Jordan with Tyler because Jordan was still poor at that time.
However, now that Jordan was already the corporation’s president, Hailey still got romantically involved with another man!
“Hmph, Hailey Camden, so much for saying that you’re different from Rachel Quinn all the time. What makes you different from her!?! You’re actually far worse! At least, she knows to wait for her husband to go on a business trip before looking for her boy toy! Yet, you cheated on me at the site of a project that I had personally invested in for you!”
The anger within Jordan intensified!
Drew suddenly asked, “Uh, Jordan, I think it’s unlikely that it’s Tyler. Could it be the new architectural designer recruited by Hailey’s best friend?”
“I heard Elle mention that she came across a limited edition Aston Martin sports car on the road two days ago, and she followed it all the way here to get the driver’s number, but to her surprise, she ended up at Hailey Residences.”
“After asking around, she found out that the driver was the newly hired architectural designer.”
Jordan asked, “Does she remember the license plate number?”
Drew said, “I have to ask Elle about this.”
Jordan instructed, “Okay, go ask her and text me when you get an answer.”
Soon after hanging up, Jordan received a text containing the license plate number of that car.
Jordan casually forwarded the license plate number to Butler Frank and asked him to check the owner of this license plate number.
Afterward, Butler Frank replied with a person’s name. “Cayden Huxley.”
At this moment, Jordan understood everything.
Tyler had gone to New York to seek help from the Huxleys, and since then, Cayden had not only attacked him on the stock market, he even seduced his wife!
Jordan actually didn’t guard against it or prepare himself for that!
Fortunately, Cayden was considered a decent gentleman. If he was a perverse scoundrel, Hailey would have long been violated by him!
“Tyler Collins! Cayden Huxley! Anyone who has gotten involved with my wife must die!”
Chapter 110: Testing And Revenge!
Jordan was so furious that he couldn’t calm down at all. No man in his place would be able to!
Jordan immediately called Pablo.
“Mr. Jordan, what are your orders for me?”
Pablo asked respectfully.
Jordan said menacingly, “Search the entire Orlando for Tyler Collins and castrate him when you do!”
‘That bastard made me a cuckold when Hailey Camden and I were married and even went to New York to get Cayden Huxley to make me a cuckold once more.’
‘He deserves to die!’
Pablo asked doubtfully, “Mr. Jordan, didn’t you already make up with the Collins previously? Rosie Huxley has slept with you to atone for her son’s misdeeds, hasn’t she?”
Pablo knew that Jordan had always been a man of his word. Since he had previously agreed with Rosie, he shouldn’t have changed his mind and gone back on his promise, as per his normal practice.
Indeed, Jordan would not break his promise to Rosie to let Tyler off the hook.
However, it was on the condition that Tyler had never slept with Hailey!
Rosie was at fault for lying and hiding the truth for her son, so Jordan was not to blame for failing to keep his word!
Jordan barked furiously, “Just do it since I told you to! What are you asking so many questions for?”
Pablo hurriedly apologized and said, “Yes, yes, Mr. Jordan, I’ll search for Tyler Collins and castrate him as soon as I find him! But, Rosie Huxley loves her son dearly, and I’m afraid that once the news gets out, she will come back to you to beg for mercy again. Should I send someone to keep an eye on her lest she disturbs you?”
Jordan humphed coldly and said, “Hmph, if she’s willing to make it up to me with her body, she can come here and do so. I’ll definitely bed her this time!”
Jordan now regretted his decision to let the gorgeous Rosie sing all night the last time she came to his place, instead of sleeping with her like she had offered!
At this juncture, Jordan no longer cared about the fact that Rosie was much older than him and was of an older generation. All he wanted was to bed her to exact revenge on Tyler!
Jordan continued, “Also if you see an Aston Martin One-77 with a New York license plate, destroy it together with the driver!”
“Yes!” Pablo acknowledged immediately.
Jordan commanded great power in Orlando and originally wanted to live as an ordinary president of a corporation.
However, since someone had a death wish and was brazen enough to provoke Jordan, it wasn’t his fault for being ruthless!
With Pablo’s power in Orlando, Tyler and Cayden would soon find out the consequences they had to bear for seducing his wife!
Buzz…
While Jordan was boiling with fury, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The person who called was actually his wife, Hailey!
“Crap! Has she discovered it?”
Jordan had parked the car outside Hailey Residences, so he was apprehensive that Hailey might have seen him.
Jordan hurriedly lowered his head, blocked his face with the steering wheel, and looked at Hailey.
He was at a spot that was rather far from Hailey, and he had actually used a pair of military binoculars to look at her just now.
From where Hailey was, she would most see numerous cars, but she wouldn’t be able to see the people inside.
Jordan didn’t pick up the call immediately and instead picked up his binoculars to glance at Hailey.
He realized that Hailey wasn’t looking at him and instead walked inside while talking on the phone.
“She shouldn’t have discovered me, but why is she calling me at this time?”
Jordan’s heart, which had been beating incessantly, gradually calmed down.
Then, Jordan got a grip on his emotions and answered the phone.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Hubby. Have you arrived at the office?”
“Yes, I’m here, how about you? Have you arrived at Hailey Residences?”
“Yes, I just arrived too.”
“Oh, why did you call me then…”
“I missed you.”
Hailey began to act all coquettish.
Jordan watched Hailey with the binoculars while despising her.
‘Hmph, miss me? I bet you have the time to think of me only because you didn’t get to see your lover!’
Hailey asked, “Hubby, it’s the weekend today, and the stock market is closed. You shouldn’t be too busy, right? I don’t have anything to do here, so I’ll be home soon. I’ll ask Mom to cook us a sumptuous spread for lunch.”
Jordan asked, “Aren’t you usually too busy to go home for lunch? You go home late every night. Why are you so free today? There should be works going on at the construction site everyday.”
Of course, Jordan knew the reason!
It was because her lover wasn’t there!
Of course, she wouldn’t want to stay at the construction site any longer!
Hailey answered, “Oh, there aren’t any more problems with the design, so I don’t have to keep an eye on the construction all the time. Besides, I’m feeling a little uncomfortable, and the air here is rather polluted. For the sake of our baby’s health, I may not come here often in the future.”
‘For the sake of our baby’s health? You’ve got so many excuses, huh?’
‘For the sake of our baby’s health?’
‘Why didn’t you spare a thought for the baby’s health the other day?’
However, Jordan could tell from Hailey’s words that Cayden might have left Orlando for good and would never return in the future.
That made Jordan rather chagrined!
He had to catch Hailey red-handed in bed with another man in order to prove her act of adultery. He now had evidence against Hailey and Tyler, but what about Cayden?
‘What if Hailey refuses to admit it in the future?’
‘What if she hadn’t had the time to sleep with him yet?’
Jordan asked, “Oh, I see. I heard that the new designer is quite good, and it just so happens that I have a client who also asked me to recommend an architectural designer to him. Why don’t you introduce him to me?”
Through the binoculars, Jordan could see that Hailey was clearly flustered!
Hailey said, “Huh? No, he’s just an intern who quit after a few days.”
“Oh, I see,” said Jordan, who didn’t expose her.
“Yeah, go ahead and get busy, Hubby. I won’t hold you up longer.”
Hailey quickly hung up the phone.
Jordan put down his cell phone and binoculars before hollering in pique, “What a liar! Luckily I found out in time and didn’t include you as one of the heirs of the Steeles. Otherwise, God knows how many more times you’ll make me a cuckold after you inherit billions of dollars!”
Jordan was absolutely sure that once Hailey had the right to inherit his family’s assets and a large portion of his property after the divorce, she would become brazen and unbridled like Rachel!
Jordan did not stay any longer and instead reversed the car to leave for the office.
Upon arriving, Jordan cooped himself up in the president’s office and refused to see anyone.
He was in a foul mood!
Knock-knock.
“Mr. Steele…”
It was his secretary, Ashley.
Jordan lost his temper and got up to open the door before yelling at Ashley, “Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me? Do you want to lose your job!?!”
Ashley was astonished. Jordan had always been very gentle to her, and she had never seen him so furious before.
Ashley said fearfully while shivering, “Miss… Miss Elle Camden is here, and she wants to see you…”
Only then did Jordan realize that Elle was standing behind Ashley.
She was wearing the exact same skin-tight dress that her father made her wear during her last visit to the company.
It was posh, sexy, and accentuated her gorgeous curves seamlessly.
