The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 111-115

Chapter 111: Elle’s Evidence!

Elle had earned herself millions of fans on TikTok with her beautiful figure.

Her elegant dress made her look a refined, demure lady, utterly devoid of her usual arrogance.

Elle was wearing exquisite makeup on her face, tomato-colored lipstick, and nail varnish of the same shade.

“Jordan.”

Elle softly called out to Jordan, her eyes full of immense adoration and affection.

Jordan knew that Elle was interested in him, but he usually kept a distance from her and wasn’t willing to have much to do with her.

Because her brother, Drew, often sent her private photos to Jordan, Jordan could no longer look Elle in the eye.

However, Elle showed up at the office out of the blue today and asked to see him.. Jordan felt that this matter was likely to have something to do with Hailey!

“Oh, you’re here. Come in.”

Jordan let Elle into the office and instructed Ashley again, “Remember, don’t disturb me regardless of who shows up.”

“Yes, I won’t dare to do so again.”

Ashley hastily assured in fear.

Jordan then closed the door of the office tightly. The windows had long been shut so no one outside could see or hear what was happening inside.

Elle had gone inside the office before Jordan. After closing the door, he turned around and saw Elle’s back, which made him distracted and dazed.

Elle really had a gorgeous back that was even more alluring than Hailey’s!

Hailey had a pretty face and a great figure.

However, although Elle was young, her appearance was already at a higher level.

Jordan didn’t dare to imagine how many men Elle would charm when she reached her mid-twenties or even her thirties!

“Elle, what do you want to see me for?” Jordan asked, shifting his gaze upwards.

Elle turned around and asked, “Jordan, have you already started to suspect that Hailey is having an affair?”

Jordan was furious for a moment. He couldn’t casually tell someone about such a humiliating matter!

Jordan questioned Elle in exasperation, “Did Drew tell you that? That bastard must be itching for a beating again!”

Drew was the only one who knew of the matter, and Jordan thought that he would keep it a secret for him!

Elle hurriedly said, “No, simmer down. He didn’t say anything to me. He just asked me a question, and I made some wild guesses on my own.”

Jordan felt that Drew wouldn’t lie to him, but he also doubted Elle’s words.

“Drew just asked a random question, and you could guess that I’m suspecting that Hailey is having an extramarital affair? Elle, I’ve known you for three years. I know very well how high your IQ is.”

Jordan was implying that Elle was a bimbo who couldn’t have been so smart.

Elle said, “Jordan, I really guessed it myself. Drew didn’t say anything to me. When I asked him about it, he even lashed out at me and told me not to ask so much.”

“Is that so?” Jordan remained apprehensive. “Tell me then, why are you suspecting Hailey?”

Elle humphed coldly and said, “I knew long ago that Hailey Camden has done something to let you down!”

“What did you say!?!”

Jordan was surprised to hear that Elle had learned of it earlier than he did.

Elle said, “Some time ago, I was driving a classmate of mine to the movies and happened to see a limited-edition Aston Martin. My classmate went boy-crazy and insisted on asking for the number of the driver of that car, so I tailed it.”

“Who knew, that car drove to Hailey Residences! Later, I found out that the man was the new architect that Hailey had hired.”

“I saw the man driving the car. He’s about my age and probably hasn’t graduated from college yet. How could he be an architect? Who is he trying to fool?”

“So, I secretly followed Hailey the next morning, and guess what I saw?”

Jordan clenched his fists and asked, “What did you see!?!”

Elle said, “You know that there is a red maple leaf forest in Hailey Residences, right? Hailey set up a mobile home there, and I saw that man hugging Hailey from the moment they were outside the forest into the mobile home. They stayed there for an hour!”

“You’re lying!”

Jordan was unwilling to accept that fact. In a moment of exasperation, he grabbed Elle’s fair neck and choked her!

“Ahem, ahem…”

Jordan had strong hands, and especially since he had just heard such news, he could barely control his strength, thus making Elle feel suffocated.

“I… I’m not lying, I… I have evidence.”

Elle raised her cell phone in one hand.

Jordan immediately let go of her.

Elle gasped for fresh air and panted heavily while her chest heaved up and down.

After a while, Elle regained her composure. She unlocked her cell phone to show Jordan the photos that she had secretly taken.

Jordan took her cell phone, only to see a photo of Hailey. Although the resolution of the photo wasn’t too high, Jordan could tell that it was Hailey.

In the photo, Hailey was clad in a short skirt and grinning widely while being held in the arms of a tall, young man.

Elle’s cell phone had an excellent camera zooming function so she could take photos from a great distance away.

However, after Jordan saw the photo, he smashed Elle’s cell phone onto the ground furiously.

Bang!

The cell phone was instantly smashed into bits!

‘Why? Why did Hailey Camden do this!?! I can understand why she cheated on me with Tyler Collins when I was poor back then. Well, she’s pretty, and, understandably, she’d have high self-esteem and think that she deserves a better life!’

‘But now, she is already the wife of the president of Ace Corporation and the director of Hailey Residences. Why does she still want to act like this?’

Jordan was heartbroken, and he placed his hands on the desk feebly.

Elle knew that this was an excellent opportunity for her and thus took Jordan’s hand before saying, “Jordan, Hailey has let you down. Not only is she not content with a husband like you, but she even hooked up with other men out there. Why don’t you divorce her and marry me?”

“Hmph, marry you?”

Jordan glanced at Elle with disdain.

‘The Camdens are all the same. Elle is just a replica of Hailey, and she’s probably even more ruthless!’

Elle said, “Yeah, I should have been the one marrying you back then. If it wasn’t for my father’s silly mistake of turning down my grandfather’s arrangements, we would have been married now!”

“Jordan, I really like you, and since the first time we met, I’ve already fallen in love with you, and I’ve been secretly carrying a torch for you for three years. Will you give me a chance?”

Jordan looked at the beautiful Elle and recalled the photos of her that Drew had sent him. He then thought about Hailey’s betrayal again.

He decided not to care about anything else and kissed Elle!

Chapter 112: Elle’s Dream of Becoming The President’s Wife!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Elle wasn’t a good woman either!

Before Jordan revealed his identity as the president of Ace Corporation, she was even more harsh and callous with her words of mockery and insults compared to Hailey!

Her claim about having been secretly in love with Jordan for three years was nothing but a lie!

If Jordan was really poor, Hailey would at least be willing to treat him as a second option or a backup lover, but Elle wouldn’t even look him in the eye!

Jordan had decided to be relentless at this juncture. ‘Since you think you and I should be together instead, and you’ve even dolled yourself up to confess your love to me, I’ll fulfill you!’

Hailey’s betrayal made Jordan irrational.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was to take revenge on Hailey and the Camdens!

However, after ten minutes, Jordan pushed Elle away.

He did not allow his irrational and impulsive behavior to continue and stopped himself from taking things with Elle too far to an irreparable point.

Jordan sat on the ground and smacked his forehead with both hands. Deep down inside him, a voice was telling him that he wasn’t doing the right thing..

“What’s the matter?” Elle asked softly.

Jordan said, “I can’t betray my marriage.”

Elle said, “But Hailey betrayed you.”

Jordan shook his head and said, “I can get a divorce, but I can’t do the same thing as she did, just to get back at her. If I do that, what will set me apart from her? I’ll become an adulterer who has betrayed my marriage, just like her.”

Jordan knew that many married individuals, especially women, would feel an urge to get into an extramarital affair after finding out about their spouse’s infidelity, all for revenge’s sake.

However, this is not the right thing to do.

Jordan could choose to get a divorce, but he couldn’t make the same mistake as Hailey.

Jordan’s twenty-odd years of good upbringing would not allow him to do such a thing that goes against his principles!

Elle was extremely disappointed. She pulled her elegant dress up and straightened the creases of the fabric, which was a little stained.

She then squatted in front of Jordan, grabbed his arm, and said, “Jordan, I’ll wait for you to get a divorce. Once you do, we’ll be able to be together openly!”

Jordan smiled. He would naturally divorce Hailey for sure!

However, according to his plan, he would make Hailey initiate the divorce.

At that time, Jordan would have also been “kicked out” of the family and become an ordinary citizen.

Jordan laughed and said, “I’m afraid when the time comes, you may not want to be with me anymore.”

Elle said, “How is that possible? I’ve carried a torch for you for three years. If you divorce Hailey now, I’d definitely snatch you up immediately!”

Jordan didn’t dwell on this issue nor continue to argue with her about it. Instead, he asked, “Elle, who else did you tell about what happened between Hailey and me? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Elle replied truthfully, “I didn’t tell anyone about it, not my brother, not my dad, and not even Grandma.”

“I planned to find some time to tell you about it first, but your company faced an attack recently, so I thought that you must be busy and decided to tell you after the saga blows over.”

“Oh.” Jordan nodded and said, “Don’t tell anyone about this, for now, especially Hailey. Don’t let her know that I’ve already found out about her affair.”

Elle answered obediently, “Alright, I won’t tell anyone about this. Rest assured.”

Jordan nodded and said, “You may leave now. I’ll call you again if there’s anything. I’m so sorry about what happened just now…”

Elle said with happiness written all over her face, “What are you apologizing for? I’m more than happy, that was my first kiss!

Jordan had spent the past three years living with the Camdens, so he knew that Herman had always been very strict with his children and forbade Elle from having a boyfriend.

Her words were indeed believable.

It was indeed somewhat ironic because Jordan didn’t get Hailey’s first kiss, but he had stolen her cousin Elle’s first kiss.

Elle strutted out of the office gleefully in her stilettos. On the other hand, Jordan was in a much better mood than before.

Perhaps, what happened between him and Elle in the past ten minutes had made Jordan feel a little guilty towards Hailey.

After stepping out of the office, Elle went to the washroom to put on some makeup because her lipstick had already been smudged from the kiss.

When she was applying lipstick in the washroom, she ran into Victoria.

“Hey, Victoria.”

Elle was overjoyed to see Victoria because she was Jordan’s favorite right-hand man who had even slapped Hailey before.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Victoria took a look at Elle and wondered why her dress was stained with dirt.

She looked as if she had fought with someone in the mud.

She had always known Elle to be a girl who loved being clean and would never dare to wear such dirty clothes.

However, she decided not to point it out because she didn’t want to hurt Elle’s self-esteem.

“Oh, hello, Miss Camden.”

Victoria answered.

Elle said, “Victoria, you don’t have to be so formal with me. Just call me Victoria.”

“By the way, why did you move out of your office?”

Victoria answered coldly, “It’s all thanks to your cousin. My office is now Hailey Camden’s.”

Elle said, “Hailey shouldn’t have vied with you for your office. She doesn’t come to work often anyway.”

“It’s okay, Victoria, don’t worry. I’ll talk to Jordan later and ask him to return your office to you.”

Victoria was surprised to hear her words, and she suddenly paused in her actions when she was washing her hands.

Elle was making it sound as if she was very chummy with Jordan.

‘Will Jordan do her bidding?’

Elle was now very smug and conceited because Jordan had just kissed her, and Hailey had also cheated on him.

‘Once Jordan divorces Hailey, I’ll marry him and become the wife of the president of Ace Corporation!’

‘I will then have the right to decide who gets to use the office.’

While Victoria was stunned, Elle had already reapplied her lipstick.

She then gave Victoria a pat on her shoulder like a boss would to their subordinate.

“Victoria, just work well with Jordan and reap more benefits for the company. Jordan won’t shortchange you.”

Elle then left suavely.

“What has gotten into Elle Camden?”

Victoria was bewildered. After washing her hands and drying them, she walked towards Jordan’s office.

However, when she thought about how Jordan had lashed out at Ashley just now and forbade anyone from disturbing him, she stopped and decided to text Jordan first.

“Mr. Steele, can I go to your office?”

Jordan got up from the ground when he saw her text.

Now, he was no longer as angry as he was when he first reached the office.

Thus, he opened the door of the office and said, “Victoria, come in.”

After entering, Victoria said to Jordan, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Elle Camden, but she just said that she wanted to let me move back to your wife’s office. I just want to explain to you that it wasn’t my request at all. There’s nothing about my new office that I’m displeased with.”

While seated on his chair, Jordan said, “Oh, you’d better move back to your former office. It’s spacious and has a good location. It’ll help you work better.”

“Well, but your wife…”

Victoria was afraid that Hailey would be unhappy if she found out.

Jordan said, “I will talk to her. Victoria, remember, you are the vice president of this company, and what you have and will contribute to this company is far beyond what she can.”

“I draw a very distinct line between work and private matters. In order to avoid letting her put you down with her shares again, I’ve decided to give you 2% of the company’s shares and make you the second-largest shareholder of the corporation!”

Chapter 113: A Date With Victoria!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Really?”

Victoria was so overjoyed that she seemed to be losing her composure.

She had always felt that it was unfair for Hailey to trample on her by throwing her weight around with her identity as the president’s wife.

Victoria was a seasoned employee who had been working for the company even before Jordan became the president. She had also contributed a lot to the company.

What had Hailey ever done?

Who was she to occupy such an excellent office room?

Victoria suddenly had some doubts, and she asked, “Mr. Steele, everything… is fine between you and Hailey, right?”

Of course, Jordan couldn’t tell Victoria about the embarrassing truth of his marriage.

Thus, he smiled and said, “We’re doing very well, she just got pregnant recently, and we are very in love with each other.. However, I realized that I’ve spoiled her too much and ended up neglecting you guys here in the office. That’s not something a competent president should do.”

Victoria was no longer doubtful. She said with a smile, “Mr. Steele, you’re setting a good example for all men by being such a loving husband and doting on your wife so much. We employees wouldn’t dare to be jealous.”

Gazing at the svelte Victoria, Jordan couldn’t help but be stunned for a few seconds.

After those crazy ten minutes or so that he had spent with Elle just now, Jordan was still in a state of excitement, and his hormones were raging as he couldn’t help but be enticed by beautiful women.

Besides, Victoria was also a gorgeous woman, so there was no way Jordan didn’t harbor any thoughts about her.

To be honest, Jordan didn’t treat Victoria very well.

Ever since Victoria learned that he was the company’s president, she had been taking the initiative to approach him and get closer to him.

However, Jordan had always been really cold to her as he completely treated her as a subordinate.

Now Jordan regretted his decision as he felt that he would have been better off dating Victoria than Hailey!

At the very least, Victoria wasn’t a two-faced person like Hailey, who seemed to be innocent and lovely on the surface, but was actually a promiscuous and unfaithful woman!

Jordan asked, “Victoria, are you free for lunch? My treat.”

Overjoyed to hear his offer, Victoria agreed, “Sure, I’d like to eat at Chicken and Noodles again.”

At noon, Jordan and Victoria headed to the underground parking lot of the office building, and together, they hopped into his limited edition Maybach. They then told the chauffeur to send them to downtown Orlando.

In the back seat, Jordan poured Victoria a glass of champagne and handed it to her.

“Let’s go get something from downtown before heading to lunch, okay?”

Victoria obviously wouldn’t dare to oppose as a subordinate, and she had always gone along with Jordan’s decisions.

Victoria took the champagne and said, “Of course it’s okay. But Mr. Steele…”

“Call me by my name.”

Jordan poured a glass of champagne for himself too.

Victoria asked with a smile, “Jordan, is there a happy occasion that calls for a celebration with champagne today?” Victoria asked with a smile

The champagne in the car was prepared by her for Jordan.

The main reason that Jordan had popped champagne was to celebrate the fact that he had finally seen Hailey’s true colors and obtained the closure he needed to finally let go of this relationship.

However, Jordan said, “To celebrate the fact that Ace Corporation has overcome that recent ordeal.”

Victoria clinked glasses with Jordan and said, “When the stock market opens on Monday, our stock price will definitely soar high again!”

Jordan didn’t respond to that. Little did Victoria know that the stock price of Ace Corporation would definitely plummet again when the stock market opened on Monday!

At that time, Jordan will be kicked out of the Steele family and stripped of his position as the president of the Acme Corporation!

Jordan and Victoria’s relationship as colleagues would end after the weekend!

Hence, Jordan wanted to treat Victoria to a meal and give her a gift as a token of appreciation for her help at work.

Upon arriving in downtown Orlando, Jordan headed straight to the Chanel store because Victoria liked Chanel purses.

When he entered the store, the sales assistant recognized at a glance that Jordan was the president of the famous Ace Corporation.

Besides, he was accompanied by the rich and beautiful Victoria. Thus, the sales assistant was particularly enthusiastic about greeting them.

Jordan set his sights on a red bag, which he picked up and showed to Victoria. “Victoria, do you like this bag?”

Victoria nodded and said, “I do, but Hailey probably prefers lighter colors.”

Jordan took the bag and handed it to the sales assistant. “Please wrap this up.”

Victoria was stunned.

The bag cost $10,000. After paying for it with his credit card, Jordan handed it to Victoria. “This is for you.”

Victoria was so shocked that she covered her mouth. “Jordan…”

Jordan actually gave her a $10,000 Chanel bag!

Jordan patted Victoria’s shoulder and said, “Take it, you’ve been so busy with work when our company got attacked recently and you barely got any sleep. It’s been hard on you. This is your reward.”

Jordan had already paid for it, and the bag’s design would suit a mature woman better, so it wasn’t very suitable for Hailey.

Hence, Victoria didn’t decline any further and took the bag. “Thank you, Mr. Steele!”

“Let’s go for lunch!”

Jordan and Victoria had an enjoyable lunch together. They laughed and chatted merrily until the late afternoon when they returned to the office at 4 pm.

During those few hours, Victoria had the illusion that she was Jordan’s girlfriend because he had never been so nice to her before.

Jordan figured it out too.

In the past, he had pampered Hailey to bits, bought her everything she wanted, and gave in to her all the time.

But what happened?

All he got in return was betrayal!

In that case, he might as well show that love and concern to someone who deserved it better!

While Victoria and Jordan were having lunch, Hailey had been chatting with Rachel.

Hailey asked, “Have you contacted Cayden yet? He seems to have left Orlando.”

Rachel smiled and said, “Yeah, he went back to New York. I think he fled in haste because he couldn’t beat your husband. Congrats Hailey. it turns out that the Steeles are more impressive after all.”

Hailey said gleefully, “Really? I think so too! The Huxleys are such a powerful family. They can easily wipe out any other company by doing what they had done to Ace Corporation.”

“But Jordan managed to keep the company standing. The Steeles hid their assets so well. Thank God I didn’t do anything wrong to let Jordan down!”

In the past few days, Hailey had been spending most of her time with Cayden from morning till night, during which they got to be alone with each other for a few hours.

Besides, Cayden was passionate in his pursuit for Hailey, and she almost couldn’t help but cheat on Jordan.

Rachel said, “I really can’t wait for Monday to arrive so that I can see how Jordan has crushed Cayden Huxley!”

Rachel had been distraught with Cayden because he had been threatening her previously.

Seeing that the Steeles had gained the upper hand during the battle against the Huxleys, Rachel was overjoyed too.

Just like that, time passed quickly, and soon, it was Monday.

The stock market was going to open on Monday, and Jordan would go against Cayden again!

Many people in the industry analyzed that the stock price of Ace Corporation this morning will be the deciding factor of victory!

In Jade Villa, New York.

Cayden was camping in front of his computer and smoking a cigarette anxiously while Tyler was right beside him, similarly looking extremely worried.

“Cayden, you can’t close your position! Keep fighting with Jordan! Don’t you want to sleep with Hailey Camden anymore? Go listen to that recording again!”

Tyler snapped angrily.

Chapter 114: Jordan Gets Kicked Out!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cayden dumped his cigarette against the ground and hollered at Tyler furiously.

“Screw you! Stop trying to spite me again with Hailey and your shit! Do you think I don’t want to take revenge on Jordan Steele? I need money to do that! My grandfather doesn’t want to give me any more money. How can I continue fighting with him!?!”

Cayden had been rather cowardly the past two days.

He fled back to New York and didn’t dare to meet Hailey again. In fact, he didn’t even dare to text her back!

Two days ago, he swore that he would snatch Hailey back from Jordan.

Now, he can no longer go against Jordan.

Tyler did not want the battle between the Steeles and the Huxleys to end just like that.

He continued to persuade Cayden, “If Grandpa doesn’t give you money, you can ask your parents to or borrow some money from Shane.. He has at least a billion dollars.”

“If spending another billion dollars can make the Ace Corporation go bankrupt, I would have borrowed money to do so! Right after Jordan’s company was in trouble, so many bigwigs in the business industry rushed to help him. This is a damned bottomless pit!”

Through this business war against Jordan, Cayden realized that the power of the Steeles was not to be underestimated.

Many people said that the Steeles had lost power in the country since they had relocated overseas. That was simply a lie!

At this juncture, Cayden and Tyler both received a notification on their respective cell phones.

It was a notification from a financial app that they had been paying close attention to.

Both of them unlocked their cell phones together and were instantly dumbstruck.

The notification was titled “Breaking! Mr. Walton denies Black Friday Sales cooperation with Ace Corporation!”

They tapped it to see that it was a video interview with Mr. Walton.

In the video, Mr. Walton alleged that while Ace Corporation had approached him to talk about cooperation, there was a delay in the funds’ transfer. Hence, Mr. Walton suspected that there was a major problem with Ace Corporation’s finances. Thus, he terminated the cooperation with Ace Corporation.

Cayden was astonished after reading the news. “Didn’t you say that Mr. Walton holds great respect for Jordan’s grandfather? He’s clearly harming Jordan by saying those words!”

Tyler laughed out loud and said, “Something must have happened. That’s why Mr. Walton has decided to abandon Jordan Steele. Jordan Steele must be in trouble!”

Cayden’s eyes also lit up. The stock market hadn’t opened yet, so he still had a chance to make a choice!

He had to decide if he should continue fighting with Jordan or obey his grandfather and stop!

The moment he thought of Hailey’s tender, delicate body and her beautiful face, Cayden couldn’t resist the most primitive desire from within his body, especially since he was only in his early twenties.

He quickly called Shane Huxley, “Shane, lend me 150 million dollars!”

An hour ago.

Jordan took the opportunity to call Mr. Walton while going to the washroom.

“Mr. Walton, I need a favor from you,” Jordan said while seated on the toilet with his cell phone in hand.”

Mr. Walton smiled and said, “Help you hold the market? No problem, our company’s listed too anyway. Don’t worry, with me around, your company’s stock price won’t plunge!”

Mr. Walton’s company was listed in the stock market more than a decade ago.

It had become the largest IPO in the history of the U.S. stock market.

It could be said that Mr. Walton had a great significance in the stock market.

With Mr. Walton’s support, Jordan basically wouldn’t face many problems.

However, Jordan said, “No, Mr. Walton, I would like to ask you to terminate the cooperation with the Ace Corporation and attack us.”

The stock market officially opened at 9:30 AM!

Ace Corporation.

Jordan, Victoria, and Hailey were all seated in Jordan’s office and paying full attention to the stock price of Ace Corporation that was displayed on the large LED screen.

The stock price plummeted right after the market opened!

All the other sectors that were related to the Ace Corporation had plummeted in price too!

Hailey began to panic, and she started swinging Jordan’s arm as she asked, “Hubby, what’s going on? Why is our stock price falling? I don’t like red. Quick, ask your grandfather to help.”

Green indicates the stock is trading higher than the previous day’s close, while red suggests falling stock prices.

Jordan sneered and thought, ‘Hah, you don’t like this? Do you think I like this? Well, it’s your fault for making me a cuckold twice!’

In order to get rid of Hailey and cut her out of his life without breaking his promise to Grandaunt Lily, Jordan had no choice but to curb his anger.

Jordan patted Hailey’s hand and said calmly, “It’s fine. I’ll call my grandfather and ask him to give me another two billion dollars to mitigate the decline.”

“Yes, yes! After that, let me speak to Grandpa too. I’d like to say good morning to him. Oh, no, it’s the afternoon where he is. I’ll say good afternoon to him!”

Hailey was as happy as a lark and behaving just like a child.

The tall and slender Victoria was leaning her lithe waist against the expensive desk in the office. She thought to herself emotionally, ‘Wow, this is a fight between whales. The money that both the Steeles and Huxleys have thrown in combined is several times the value of the Ace Corporation!’

Victoria was naturally overjoyed. Ace Corporation became the focus of the domestic business industry while Victoria rose to fame in the entire country, too, as opposed to being well-known only in Orlando before this.

Many people in DC and New York were now familiar with her name.

If she wanted to jump ship to another firm in the future, it would be much easier.

Jordan took out his cell phone and called his grandfather, but the number wasn’t in use at the moment.

“I can’t get through to him,” Jordan said with a frown.

Hailey said, “Is Grandpa taking a nap? Call Butler Frank instead.”

“Okay.”

Jordan was just about to call Butler Frank, but Ashley suddenly knocked on the door and entered, to his surprise. She then said, “Mr. Steele, Mr. Reyes is here to see you.”

It turned out that Butler Frank and Pablo had already arrived at the office.

When Hailey saw the two of them, she frantically walked over to greet them candidly, “Butler Frank, Mr. Dalton, you’re here. Jordan was just about to call you.”

Surprisingly, the two of them were very different from their usual, subservient selves when facing Jordan.

Pablo yelled at Hailey, “Who are you calling Butler Frank? Call him Mr. Reyes!”

Hailey was stunned for a moment as she couldn’t understand why Pablo said that. Both Jordan and Hailey had been addressing Butler Frank that way in the past.

Pablo wasn’t an amicable person, so Hailey didn’t dare to argue with him.

Jordan walked over and said, “Butler Frank, as you can see, the stock price of Ace Corporation is plunging. I just tried to call Grandpa, but I couldn’t get through to him. Lend me 200 million dollars.”

Butler Frank put his hands behind his back and was no longer as subservient. He said austerely in an overbearing manner, “Mr. Jordan Steele, Mr. Steele Senior has specially sent me to inform you that he’s very upset with the fact that you’ve wasted two billion dollars of the family’s assets in the past week!”

“He will not give you another cent, and Jordan Steele, you’ve been kicked out of the family. You are no longer the heir to the Steele family!”

Chapter 115: Stepping Down As President!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Frank’s words overwhelmed both Hailey and Victoria with astonishment!

Of course, Jordan looked shocked too, but he was just pretending.

“Kicked out of the family?”

Hailey was even more concerned about this than Jordan.

She asked Frank, “Butler Frank, are you mistaken? How can Jordan possibly be kicked out of the family?”

“Is Grandpa upset that Jordan spent too much money last week? Can you please tell Grandpa that we won’t spend money recklessly and won’t save the Ace Corporation anymore?”

Frank sighed and said, “Miss Camden, I’m not mistaken. Mr. Steele Senior has indeed kicked Jordan out of the family, and money is, of course, not the reason.”

“Mr. Steele Senior found out the day before yesterday that the DNA test report for Jordan and his father was fake. Jordan is not related to the Steeles by blood at all!”

Both of them were even more astonished to hear that.

‘Jordan isn’t his father’s biological son?’

‘Could it be…’

“You mean, my mom…”

Jordan couldn’t bring himself to continue what he wanted to say. He would definitely be killed by his mother if he made up a story to accuse his mother of having an affair to deceive Hailey.

Frank nodded tacitly without stating things too explicitly.

After all, Jordan’s mother was also his superior, whom he respected very much and didn’t have the cheek to accuse.

Hailey felt like her mind was getting blurry, and she couldn’t think straight. She exclaimed, “How can that be? Although I haven’t met Jordan’s mother in person, I’ve seen photos of her before. She’s gorgeous, and she seems to be very pure and kind-hearted. She won’t be unfaithful to Jordan’s father!”

“Also, how can you be sure that Jordan is not his father’s biological son? It seems to be too much of an arbitrary decision to rely solely on a DNA test report to determine the truth!”

After Hailey officially remarried Jordan, she also learned of prestigious families’ “unspoken rules” like Jordan’s.

One of them was that soon after the birth of a child, a DNA paternity test would have to be conducted to prove that the child was legitimately a biological offspring of the family.

That was also the reason that Hailey was so determined and committed to bearing a child for Jordan.

Rachel had even once suggested that Hailey try getting pregnant with another man’s child and pass it off as Jordan’s, should she fail to conceive with Jordan.

However, Hailey opposed that idea vehemently.

Frank answered, “I’ve secretly used Jordan’s hair to get another DNA test done, and the results show that he is indeed not a descendant of the Steele family.”

“Regarding your first question, Miss Camden, I cannot answer you as to why a seemingly pure and kindhearted woman would have an extramarital affair. Miss Camden, you’re a woman yourself, so you should know more about the mindsets of women better than men do.”

Hailey immediately froze when she heard Frank’s words.

She was reminded of herself!

She was precisely a pretty and ethereal-looking woman who seemed pure and kind hearted on the surface.

But who would have thought that she had been unfaithful to her husband, Jordan?

At the thought of this, Hailey bit her lip as she no longer dared to vouch for Jordan’s mother.

Frank said, “Jordan, Mr. Steele Senior wants you to resign as president of Ace Corporation immediately. I will take over your and Hailey Camden’s shares of the company, and your villa in Rose Garden Villas, as well as your Maybach and other vehicles, will also be confiscated.

“No, don’t do that…”

When Hailey heard that the villa she was currently living in and the expensive cars would be taken away, she immediately burst into tears.

Jordan pretended to be sad too. He said, “Everything I have in Orlando is given to me by Grandpa. Since he wants to take them all back, I’ll return everything to him, including the company’s shares. I’ll step down as president of Ace Corporation too.”

“Before I do, I’d like to have Victoria Clarke assume the position of CEO. Is that alright?”

Victoria was filled with complicated emotions after hearing his words because she didn’t expect Jordan to recommend her to serve as the company’s president.

After taking a glance at Victoria, Frank said, “Alright. I’ve long heard about how brave and resourceful Miss Clarke is. Since I’m not familiar with the operations in Ace Corporation either, Victoria Clarke shall be the president of the Ace Corporation from now on!”

“Mr… Mr. Reyes.” Victoria’s speech had become somewhat incoherent.

She had dreamed of that position for ages!

She had always thought that the deputy president of a listed company was the pinnacle of what she could achieve in her career for the rest of her life!

Frank could tell how excited Victoria was, and he said with a smile, “Miss Clarke, don’t rejoice too soon. It’s not necessarily a good thing to become the president of the Ace Corporation now because Ace Corporation is still being targeted by the Huxleys.”

“Hopefully, after Jordan steps down, the Huxleys will give up on attacking the Ace Corporation. Otherwise, if he insists on making Ace Corporation go bankrupt, you’ll only be able to be the president for a few days.”

Victoria was aware of the current situation, but no matter what, she still wanted to clinch the position of president of the corporation!

Victoria bowed to Frank respectfully and then once more to Jordan.

“Thank you, Mr. Reyes and Mr. Steele. No matter what, I’ll definitely stand by Ace Corporation and brave through all storms!”

Frank and Jordan both looked at Victoria with a heartened smile.

At this moment, Jordan said to Victoria in his head, ‘Victoria, after we part this time, we may never get to be colleagues or meet again in this life. The position of president of Ace Corporation is my last gift to you. Thank you forever for having had a crush on me!’

Jordan was not a fool, so he obviously knew that Victoria, the goddess of the business industry in Orlando, had a crush on him!

However, Jordan had been caught up with Hailey and never thought of getting into a relationship with Victoria.

Now that Jordan had given up on the business trial of his own accord, he would leave Ace Corporation and sever all ties with Victoria.

He had let her down after all!

Butler Frank left without saying anything.

After Frank and Pablo left, only Jordan, Hailey, and Victoria were left in the office.

On the computer screen, the stock price of Ace Corporation was still plummeting continuously, and there was nothing but red.

Victoria looked at Jordan with mixed feelings and said, “Mr. Steele… maybe your grandfather is just muddled up. Don’t be too sad.”

Jordan smiled and said, “I’m not the president of Ace Corporation any more. You are. I hope you can lead Ace Corporation to greater heights after I leave. I might come back and apply for a job when I can no longer make a living in the future. When that time comes, you must take me in.”

“Mr. Steele…”

When Victoria heard her words, she felt a sudden soreness in her nose, and she teared up right away.

That was a rare sight.

Victoria had been portraying the image of a strong, independent career woman for numerous years.

She could make the domineering presidents kneel down in front of her.

She could throw a grown man over her shoulder and beat him up into a pulp.

She had never shown such a gentle and vulnerable side of herself before.

This was the first time in her life that she cried in front of her own boss.

She was grateful to have met Jordan, and working for him during this period was the happiest day of her life.

Jordan patted Victoria’s shoulder and said, “Miss Clarke, please hold a press conference for me. I want to announce my resignation.”

Half an hour later.

Jordan’s announcement of his resignation as the president of Ace Corporation hit the headlines of the major financial channels!
