The Abandoned Husband Dominates Ch 116-120

Chapter 116: Drastic Change In Hailey’s Attitude!

In Jade Villa, New York.

 

“Hahahahaha… Hahahaha… Jordan Steele has stepped down as the president of Acecorporation! Jordan Steele has resigned! He lost! I defeated him!”

 

Cayden was laughing hysterically after watching the video of the press conference of Ace Corporation together with Tyler.

 

In the video, Jordan announced that he was stepping down as president and appointed Victoria as the next president of Ace Corporation with a gloomy expression.

 

At this moment, Tyler was a thousand times more exhilarated than Cayden!

 

Tyler leaped onto the couch in the living room with his shoes on.

 

He exclaimed at Cayden, “Impressive! Cayden, you’re really impressive! You’ve turned Jordan Steele from a president of a corporation into a commoner!”

 

Cayden guffawed and said, “That goes without saying.”

 

They clapped their hands gleefully to rejoice as if they were in a basketball match and Cayden had pulled a killer move or intercepted his opponent.

After celebrating with Cayden, Tyler knelt down on the couch again and raised his head to look at the ceiling.

 

“Dad, Jordan Steele caused you to go bankrupt. Mom, Jordan Steele has humiliated you for an entire night, and now, I’ve finally taken revenge for you! Did you guys see that?”

 

Cayden slapped him and chided, “My aunt isn’t dead yet. Why are you yelling into the air? If you want them to know, call them.”

 

Of course, Tyler would call his parents, but the Collins were now broke, and even though Tyler had taken revenge on Jordan, they probably wouldn’t be that happy.

 

Tyler said to Cayden, “You should be the one making the call, Cayden. Aren’t you going to call that bitch Hailey Camden and brag about this?”

 

Cayden nodded and said, “You’re right. This promiscuous woman is finally mine! Haha.”

 

When Cayden was with Hailey, he would call her a goddess and shower her with compliments subserviently like a complete bootlicker.

 

However, in private, he would call Hailey all sorts of nasty and derogatory names!

 

Cayden managed to call Hailey, but she refused to pick up.

 

“How dare you hang up on me?” Cayden was a little enraged.

 

However, in less than ten seconds, Cayden suddenly received a text from Hailey, which read: “I’ll call you tonight!”

 

“Haha, Hailey Camden is probably with Jordan Steele now. Okay then, I’ll have a sweet conversation with you over the phone tonight then!”

 

Cayden smiled smugly. He had already popped some champagne to celebrate with Tyler.

 

 

In the Ace Corporation’s office building in Orlando.

 

After the press conference, Jordan handed over his duties as the president to Victoria and packed up to leave.

 

“You can take my car home.”

 

Victoria came to the elevator to see off Jordan and Hailey and handed the key to her Porsche to Jordan.

 

She knew that the Maybach that Jordan had driven to work this morning had already been taken away by Frank.

 

Jordan pushed Victoria’s tender hand away and declined, “Thank you, but it’s alright, we’ll just take a cab home.”

 

Hailey was hanging her head low. Although many of the company’s employees had come out to see them off with good intentions, Hailey felt extremely ashamed!

 

She had made a glorious appearance at the company during her first visit. Everyone praised her for her beauty and was in awe that she was the president’s wife.

 

However, she now felt that everyone was mocking her!

 

“Take care, Mr. Steele, do visit us when you’re free.”

 

Ashley and the others waved goodbye to Jordan.

 

During Jordan’s time at the company, he was very nice to his subordinates. After he took over as president, he had also given them better welfare and benefits. Hence, they genuinely liked him as their boss.

 

Jordan did not say anything much. He boarded the elevator to the first floor and walked out of the office building.

 

Hailey griped with some resentment, “How are we supposed to go home? The villa is so far from here. Why didn’t you take Victoria Clarke’s car key when she offered it to you? It’s not like you’re not going to return the car to her.”

 

Jordan said, “Don’t you like taking a cab? I called one.”

 

Hailey retorted, “Who said so? I like riding in Porsches!”

 

For the first time since they reconciled, Hailey snapped at Jordan with such a rude attitude.

 

Jordan wasn’t sad at all. Instead, he was overjoyed.

 

Hailey’s attitude towards Jordan had really changed drastically since his career sank to the doldrums.

 

That meant that his plan was working well. Very soon, Hailey will initiate a divorce!

 

Jordan continued gently, “Haven’t you been taking a cab home the past few days?”

 

Feeling a little diffident, Hailey didn’t dare to retort much. Instead, she compromised. “Fine, let’s take a cab then. I hate the weather today. It’s so sunny.”

 

Hailey took out a pair of Gentle Monster sunglasses from her bag and put them on to shield her eyes from the sun.

 

It was a popular brand among many top celebrities. After putting the shades on, Hailey looked just like a gorgeous celebrity.

 

Soon, the cab that Jordan called arrived at the entrance of the office building.

 

It was a car that was of a make that Hailey didn’t even recognize.

 

Being born to a wealthy family, Hailey was undoubtedly familiar with luxury car brands. Still, she didn’t know much about cars of cheaper make.

 

She took a glance at the car and said, “You called for a normal car? Oh gosh! I’ll never travel in such a car.”

 

When Hailey called an Uber, she would make sure to select a premium, luxury car.

 

Feigning ignorance, Jordan asked, “You mean you get to choose the make? I didn’t know.”

 

Jordan had deliberately called a cheaper car because it was exactly what a cheap and shameless woman like Hailey deserved!

 

Beep-beep.

 

Jordan and Hailey still hadn’t gotten inside the car after a long time, so the driver started honking and even rolled down the window to holler at them. “Are you going to get in or not?”

 

Hailey said to the driver, “Just leave. We won’t sit in such a car.”

 

Hailey then called another cab with her phone and opted for a luxury car model.

 

‘Hmph, what a materialistic woman! You can’t even make do with an ordinary car. How can I expect you to suffer hardship with me!?’

 

Jordan was done testing Hailey, and he had now confirmed that she was a mercenary woman who would love a man only if he was wealthy.

 

Jordan had been worried for the past two days that Hailey might refuse to part with him and decide to suffer with him after he gets kicked out of the family.

 

He was worried that he might cave in and forgive her again because of how much he loved her.

 

However, it seemed that he didn’t have to worry about that issue anymore because she would never stand by him in weal and woe!

 

They arrived back at Rose Garden Villa in the Uber. As soon as they entered, Sylvie walked towards Jordan with a cup of lemon verbena tea.

 

“Jordan, you’re home. Why are you back so early today? Hailey called me just now to inform me that you guys were coming home, so I specially made you a cup of tea.”

 

“This is lemon verbena tea. Hailey said that you’ve been feeling nauseous for the past two days, so much that you even feel like throwing up when she kisses you. So I asked my friends for some home remedies, and they said that lemon verbena tea helps with getting rid of queasiness. Quick, give it a try.”

 

“Thanks.”

 

Jordan took the teacup while thinking to himself, ‘Your daughter is the reason for my nausea, and this is not something that can be remedied with tea!’

 

Benedict, who was at Jordan’s side, interrupted when he saw him about to take a sip of tea. “Wait a minute, Jordan, let me ask you something.”

Chapter 117: Unfathomable Elle!

Seeing how rude Benedict was to Jordan, Sylvie glared at him and chided, “What’s so important that you have to ask him now? Jordan has had a long day at work. Let him have his tea first!”

Benedict rolled his eyes at Sylvie, the silly woman who paid no attention to the world of business, and sneered at her in contempt.

Benedict ignored Sylvie and asked directly, “Jordan, I saw on the news that you stepped down as the president of Ace Corporation. Is that true?”

Sylvie asked in surprise, “What? Jordan, you are no longer the president of Ace Corporation? Is it because your grandfather doesn’t like Orlando and wants to arrange for you to go to DC or New York?”

“I’ve long wanted to go to New York. When are you leaving? We’ll go with you!”

Sylvie thought that Jordan had stepped down as president of Ace Corporation because there was a better opportunity for him.

Without beating around the bush, Jordan said with a sorrowful expression, “My grandfather kicked me out of the family.”

“What?”

Benedict and Sylvie were both astonished!

They had been taking care of Jordan and treating him like he was their son lately, precisely because of his prestigious family background.

If Jordan had been kicked out of his family, they would probably start being harsh to him like they used to in the past!

Jordan had some difficulty explaining, so Hailey told her parents about everything that had just happened at the company.

Heartbroken, Sylvie lamented, “Ah, how did that happen!?! My daughter’s life is so tragic, she just got pregnant, and now this has happened to her!”

Hailey tugged on Sylvie’s sleeve and told her not to say such disheartening words.

Jordan said, “We’re back to pack up our things. Butler Frank… Oh, I mean, Mr. Reyes will send someone to take over the house in the afternoon.”

“Hailey and I will move to New City residential estate. You guys should move back too.”

Before Hailey was pregnant, Benedict and Sylvie only came over once in the morning and in the evening.

After Hailey got pregnant, Sylvie moved in.

Sylvie and Benedict had completely treated this place as their own home in the past two days.

Sylvie wailed in misery again after hearing that.

Benedict sighed and immediately called to tell Diana about it.

After hanging up the phone, Benedict said, “Your grandmother wants you guys to go to her place to give her a clear explanation.”

Jordan knew that it wouldn’t be too difficult to fool Benedict and Sylvie. Still, Diana would be the greatest obstacle to his plan.

Hailey didn’t have a say in whether they would get divorced or not because they needed Diana’s consent.

Jordan said, “We’ll go see her after we move our things over.”

Benedict nodded and said to Sylvie, “What are you waiting for? Let’s hurry up and move too. You’re the one who insisted that we move here, but we have to move away again after just a couple of days.”

Jordan and Hailey had many things to move, and they couldn’t manage on their own, so Jordan called some movers to help move their personal belongings to the New City residential estate.

Jordan was filled with emotions when he arrived in the New City residential estate again.

This is where the two of them had lived together for three years, but after they reconciled, they stayed in the villa.

The last time Jordan came here was to pack his belongings after discovering that Hailey cheated on him.

In the living room, Jordan took the initiative to hold Hailey’s hand and said, “Honey, when we lived here in the past, you were still unwilling to share a room with me. You won’t ask to sleep in a separate room from me again today, will you?”

Hailey’s eyes were glossed over, and only when she heard Jordan’s words did she come back to her senses and said, “Of course, I won’t sleep in a separate room from you, but now that I’m expecting, we’d better not…”

Jordan nodded and said, “Yes, I know. The doctor has also instructed me to abstain from intercourse with you. I won’t touch you.”

After saying these words, Jordan recalled the photo taken by Elle!

In the photo, Cayden was carrying the already pregnant Hailey in the mobile home in the maple forest!

God knows what they had done inside!

‘Hailey Camden, I hope that even if you cheat, you’d have the decency to sleep with another man only after you deliver the baby!’

Jordan could only pray that the two of them did not do anything.

As Jordan glanced at Hailey affectionately, he said, “Don’t worry, even if I am no longer part of the Steele family, I will still work hard to earn money to provide for you and our baby.”. I won’t let you two suffer.”

Of course, he was just saying that to make Hailey even more convinced that he had really been disowned.

Hailey smiled awkwardly and looked at Jordan. She said gently, “Silly Hubby, don’t be so discouraged yet. Maybe Grandpa made a mistake. We shouldn’t think about how to work hard now, but focus on thinking of a way to make Grandpa acknowledge you again.”

“It’s getting late. Let’s go see Grandma.”

In Old Mrs. Camden’s villa.

After Diana heard that Jordan had been kicked out by the Steeles, she was so anxious that she couldn’t even drink a sip of water and simply paced back and forth in the villa.

When Jordan and Hailey arrived, Herman’s family, too, had arrived.

“Jordan, have you managed to contact your grandfather?”

Diana asked Jordan urgently.

Jordan shook his head.

“What about your parents?” Diana continued to probe.

Jordan said, “My father is not answering my calls. I spoke to my mom, and she has also been expelled from the family. She’s now in Australia, and she said that what grandpa said is all true.”

“Ah.”

Diana let out a long sigh and exclaimed, “How did such a thing happen all of a sudden!?!”

Elle, seated on the couch and still wearing that skin-tight dress, laughed and spoke up.

“Since Jordan has been kicked out of his family, he’s a penniless man now, right? Haha, Hailey, you’ve only been the president’s wife for a few days, and you’re back to being a commoner again?”

Hailey glowered at Elle and retorted, “Mind your own business! You don’t even know to wash your dress when it’s filthy. There’s a man’s handprint on it too!”

“Elle, is your boyfriend a car mechanic? Why are his hands so dirty?”

The black handprint on her dress naturally belonged to Jordan.

That day, Jordan swapped cars with Salvatore, but the steering wheel and binoculars in the latter’s car were extremely dirty.

After returning to the office, Jordan was still overwhelmed with the fury of learning that his wife had cheated on him and had not washed his hands.

Elle coincidentally showed up at that time.

That’s how her clean dress got stained.

Herman barked furiously, “Hailey Camden! Mind your words, Elle doesn’t have a boyfriend at all!”

However, Elle wasn’t bothered at all. “What’s wrong with my dress being dirty? I just like wearing dirty dresses. Who are you to bother?”

After saying that, she silently glanced at Jordan.

Jordan didn’t dare to look directly at her sultry eyes.

‘This little girl Elle had humiliated me for becoming penniless on the surface but still wearing the same dress that she did when we kissed. That means that she has very likely guessed that this is all just a plan of mine!’

Chapter 118: A Married Couple Belong To The Same Grove

Elle was aware of Hailey’s affair, and she had also shown Jordan the photos of Hailey’s rendezvous with Cayden.

 

Any man in Jordan’s shoes wouldn’t be able to act as if nothing had happened.

 

It just so happens that Jordan was kicked out of the Steele family at this moment.

 

Elle guessed that Jordan’s expulsion was, more likely than not, a sham to trick Hailey into divorcing him!

 

In order to win Jordan’s heart, Elle deliberately criticized him for being a penniless man so as to trigger Hailey’s materialistic mindset and make her feel terrible.

 

She also hoped that Hailey and Jordan would get divorced sooner so that she could marry him.

 

Diana smacked the table furiously and hollered, “Have you guys had enough!?! Why are you still arguing about trivial things like whether Elle’s clothes are dirty and whether she has a boyfriend or not, at such a juncture!?!”

 

Whether Jordan could inherit the tens of billions of dollars worth of assets belonging to the Steeles was the most crucial issue at the moment!

 

Diana pondered over it carefully for a long time before suddenly asking Jordan, “Jordan, how is your relationship with both your brothers?”

 

Jordan answered truthfully, “We used to be rather close when we were kids, but after we grew up, my grandfather arranged for me to go to different places for my various trials.. I’ve barely contacted them in the past few years, and it’s been five or six years since we last met.”

 

Diana nodded and said, “Yes, the dispute over assets and property has always been very intense in wealthy families like yours. The sudden appearance of your DNA paternity test report that was done more than ten years ago is very likely to be the doing of your brothers who are trying to smear you!”

 

After hearing her words, Sylvie frantically said, “Yes, Jordan’s brothers must have slandered Jordan because they want those dozens of billions of dollars worth of assets, all to themselves.”

 

Benedict agreed with that viewpoint.

 

Jordan didn’t expect them to think from that perspective, and all of a sudden, he was at a loss for words for an explanation.

 

Diana continued, “Also, the DNA paternity test that Butler Frank had done with your hair sample may not necessarily be accurate. I heard that only hairs plucked from the root would give accurate results.”

 

“Jordan, I think you should go to England to meet your grandfather and do another DNA paternity test in his presence. Even if you turn out to not be related to the Steeles by blood, you’ve spent decades living with them after all, and they will treat you as their own on account of the feelings you’ve nurtured with them.”

 

Sylvie hurriedly agreed, “Yes, yes, Jordan, you have to go to England. Take Hailey with you and see your grandfather. When he sees you, he’ll simmer down.”

 

“Being parents ourselves, we know how hard it is to raise a child, and the ties that you’ve had with them over the past two decades or so can’t be broken that easily.”

 

Jordan had expected that the Camdens would want to go to England, so he was prepared for that.

 

Jordan shook his head and said, “I was planning to go to England too, but Butler Frank said very clearly that Grandpa doesn’t want to see me.”

 

“Besides, I’ve just received a call from the UK Visas & Immigration that I’m not permitted entry to the UK.”

 

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

 

Sylvie asked in astonishment, “Why? But we don’t need visas to travel to the UK, do we?”

 

Elle, who was sitting on the couch with one leg over the other, said with disdain, “Don’t be silly, isn’t it normal for the authorities to intervene and decide who is permitted to enter? When I went abroad last year, a man in front of me was pulled out of the queue at the airport while waiting to undergo the security checks.”

 

“The airport staff told him that they received a message from immigration saying that he was not allowed into the country and wouldn’t let him register even though he had a valid visa at the time!”

 

At this moment, Hailey interjected, “I got a call too. Just like Jordan, I’m refused entry.”

 

“What?”

 

The Camdens were surprised.

 

Diana said, “The Steeles are indeed very powerful. They can even make someone be denied entry to England. Jordan, it seems that your grandfather is determined not to see you.”

 

Jordan said with a look of misery, “Why is Grandpa being so heartless!?!”

 

Seeing how upset Jordan was, Diana thought that it would be inappropriate to question him further.

 

She said, “Jordan, I’ll ask my friend in England to find your grandfather and see if we can arrange for you to meet him to talk things over. In the meantime, try to have a talk with Butler Frank and see if there’s a chance to turn things around.”

 

“Thank you, Grandma.”

 

Jordan knew clearly that although Diana had many friends in England, none of them were on the same level as his grandfather.

 

As the patriarch of the most secretive wealthy family in the world, Jordan’s grandfather would only meet those who had made prior arrangements. Even someone of Mr. Walton’s status wouldn’t get to see him without Jordan’s arrangement, let alone others.

 

Afterward, the Camdens had a meal together, and Jordan returned to the New City residential estate with Hailey.

 

Upon returning to his home for the past three years, Jordan did not rest immediately and instead opened a bottle of red wine to pour himself a glass of it.

 

He had been expelled from the family and had even lost his position as the president of Ace Corporation. Thus, he had to act like he was sorrowful and miserable.

 

“Why? Why does fate have to do this to me!?!”

 

Jordan muttered to himself while drinking wine.

 

On the other hand, Hailey stood at the side and stared at Jordan’s dispirited expression. She felt that Jordan didn’t seem to be faking it.

 

It wasn’t that Jordan had great acting chops, but he was indeed very crestfallen now, and he also felt that fate was playing a trick on him.

 

However, Jordan wasn’t sad because of his expulsion but because of Hailey’s affair.

 

Jordan was venting all of his pent-up misery that stemmed from Hailey’s betrayal, which made Hailey mistakenly believe that it was because of what happened to him today.

 

Soon, Jordan had chugged two bottles of red wine all by himself.

 

He then collapsed on the countertop in a drunken stupor.

 

“Hubby, Hubby.”

 

Hailey called out to Jordan twice, but he didn’t respond. She then patted his face with her slender fingers before calling his name again.

 

“Jordan, wake up, don’t sleep here. You’ll catch a cold. Go back inside.”

 

However, Jordan still didn’t respond after she called him several times.

 

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. Likewise, Jordan wasn’t drunk but merely pretending to be drunk.

 

“Ah.”

 

Hailey sighed. She was a weak woman who didn’t have the strength to carry a burly man like Jordan.

 

Besides, she was now pregnant, and it would be dangerous for her to do so as she might fall.

 

Hailey looked at the drunken Jordan and the two empty bottles of red wine.

 

Given Hailey’s liquor level, she would pass out after drinking one and a half bottles of wine.

 

In her opinion, Jordan was very likely to get drunk since he had downed two bottles of wine while drowning his sorrows.

 

After drinking two bottles, he was definitely drunk.

 

Hence, Hailey stopped pretending to be a virtuous and nice woman.

 

She hollered callously, “Good-for-nothing! What’s the point of hiding at home and drowning your sorrows in wine? If you have what it takes, go to England to see your grandfather and ask for your assets back! Hmph!”

 

Jordan was professionally trained so he could control his liquor level at will. There was no way he could have gotten drunk from two bottles of wine.

 

Jordan, who was pretending to be drunk, was heartbroken to hear Hailey’s words.

 

‘So this is the woman I love so deeply, huh?’

Chapter 119: Eavesdropping On Hailey’s Phone Call!

Apart from the period of time where Jordan neglected Hailey when they were “divorced,” he had been taking care of her unconditionally every single day of the three years of their marriage.

 

But what did Hailey do to Jordan?

 

When Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation during this period of time, Hailey had been extremely docile and compliant towards him.

 

Other times, her attitude was the complete opposite!

 

She was now back to her usual self in the past as Jordan was expelled from the Steele family!

 

‘Does she really love me? If she doesn’t, why would she remember the songs I’ve listened to and my favorite foods?’

 

‘But if she loves me, why would she mock me when I’m down and out?’

 

‘Shouldn’t a wife be comforting her husband and giving him her encouragement when his career is in the doldrums?’

 

While Jordan was melancholic and emotional, Hailey had already reached the bedroom.

 

Hailey got on the bed and leaned against the cushion while calling Rachel on the phone.

 

“Rachel, are you asleep?”

Jordan, who was resting his head on the bar top counter in the living room, heard Hailey’s voice as she spoke on the phone.

 

Thus, Jordan immediately got up from the bar top counter and quietly walked barefooted towards the bedroom, where he stood outside the door to eavesdrop.

 

Hailey didn’t close the door entirely and instead left it slightly ajar.

 

Hence, Jordan could not only hear her voice clearly, but he could also even see Hailey through the crack in the door.

 

Rachel asked, “I knew you’d call me. I’m not going to bed yet. How are things going on your side? Has your husband managed to contact his grandfather yet?”

 

Hailey answered, “No, Jordan and I are denied entry to the UK. It seems like his grandfather is bent on disowning him. Jordan had been drowning his sorrows in wine, and he’s now lying in the living room.”

 

Rachel said, “Hailey, I think you’d better make plans for your future sooner. If nothing works, just divorce Jordan. Cayden adores you, and his family is worth dozens of billions of dollars too. They aren’t any inferior to the Steeles.”

 

Hailey sighed and said, “Jordan and I have been married for three years, and I’m expecting his child. How can I just divorce him? Besides, Grandma wouldn’t agree to it. I’m also worried that Jordan might be staging his expulsion from his family. What if I find out that he’s really pretending only after I divorce him? It’s not the first time he’s pretended to be poor.”

 

Hailey had divorced Jordan once, and although it wasn’t legally valid, she had learned her lesson.

 

Hence, she didn’t dare to divorce Jordan easily now.

 

If Jordan becomes the president of Ace Corporation again after she divorces him, she will become a fool.

 

Rachel laughed and said, “That’s easy. You can test Jordan.”

 

Hailey asked, “How?”

 

Rachel had a flash of inspiration, and she said, “You can call Cayden and Tyler and ask them to come to Orlando. If Jordan is deliberately deceiving you, he must know about your affairs with Cayden and Tyler. When the time comes, you can casually inform Jordan about their arrival in Orlando.”

 

“If the Steeles haven’t kicked out Jordan, he’d definitely be able to turn the both of them into cripples, given his power.”

 

“You can then keep close tabs on Cayden and Tyler and see if anything happens to them.”

 

Hailey said with surprise, “Get Tyler and Cayden to come to Orlando. If they both get beaten up, it means that Jordan is staging his expulsion. If they both remain unscathed, it’ll prove that Jordan has really become penniless.”

 

“Good idea! Rachel, I’m so glad to have you as a best friend. You’ve been helping me ever since I reconciled with Jordan.”

 

Standing by the door outside the bedroom, Jordan couldn’t hear what Rachel said. He could only hear Hailey’s voice.

 

However, he could roughly guess the content of their conversation based on Hailey’s words.

 

‘I’ve guessed it right. This vicious wench, Rachel Quinn, has been instigating Hailey and encouraging her to cheat on me all this while. She has known about Hailey’s affairs with Tyler Collins and Cayden Huxley all along!’

 

‘Now, she’s asking Hailey to test me again. Fortunately, I managed to find out by eavesdropping on her. Otherwise, Hailey Camden won’t divorce me even if Tyler Collins and Cayden get castrated in Orlando!”

 

Even Jordan had to admit that Rachel really had a knack for dealing with men.

 

Hailey was a straightforward person who wouldn’t have been able to make Jordan change his mind without Rachel’s help.

 

Hailey and Rachel chatted for a while more before hanging up.

 

Immediately afterward, Hailey called Cayden again.

 

“Cayden.”

 

Hearing the affectionate way Hailey had called his name, Jordan felt like needles had pricked his heart.

 

‘God knows how many times this shameless woman had addressed him so affectionately when I was busy working all night!’

 

Cayden asked, “Did you miss me, gorgeous? I heard from Rachel that your husband has been kicked out of his family. Is that true?”

 

Hailey assented.

 

Cayden said, “Hailey, you’re like a goddess. You can’t take hardship. Now that your husband is poor, why won’t you divorce him? You know how much I love you. Isn’t it better to be with me than that good-for-nothing of a husband of yours?”

 

Hailey said, “Cayden, I’m in low spirits now, and I don’t want to talk to my husband either. Can you come to Orlando to accompany me? I want to see you.”

 

Cayden was delighted that his beloved woman had taken the initiative to ask him out and even sounded so ambiguous!

 

When Jordan was still the president of Ace Corporation, Cayden would only ever dare to hook up with Hailey secretly.

 

Now that Jordan was broke, there was no reason for Cayden to be scared of him.

 

Hence, Cayden said, “I’ll go see you tomorrow. But if you still behave the same as you did and refuse to let me do anything else except hold your hand, I think it doesn’t matter if I go over or not!”

 

In order to get Cayden to come over, Hailey had no choice but to say, “Fine, as long as you come over and accompany me, I’ll let you do whatever you want, okay?”

 

“Hahahaha! No problem, I’ll set off bright early tomorrow morning!” On the other end of the line, Cayden was overjoyed.

 

Jordan, who was outside the door, was furious to hear those words!

 

Although he knew that Hailey had said that just to make Cayden come over, he was still peeved.

 

As her husband, he was really frustrated to hear her say such things to a man!

 

Through the crack in the door, Jordan discovered that Hailey was smiling widely after saying those words!

 

‘How can you have the cheek to smile!?! You shameless bitch! I won’t let you get what you want! I must make you initiate a divorce with me and then regret it for the rest of your life!’

 

Jordan was extraordinarily agitated but didn’t dare to move his body or make a sound, fearing that Hailey would discover him. Otherwise, his efforts would go in vain.

 

Soon, Hailey called someone again.

 

“Tyler, it’s been a long time since we contacted each other. How are you doing?”

 

Hailey asked.

 

Tyler was considered her “ex-husband” too, but after the Collins declined, Hailey had been ignoring Tyler.

 

Tyler said coldly, “I’m astonished to receive a call from you! The Collins are in such a state because of you, you wench!”

 

Hailey didn’t want to argue with Tyler anymore. “I’m sorry for what happened at the wedding previously, but my grandfather has planted his men in the lawyer’s office. Even if I didn’t divorce you, our marriage wouldn’t have been legally valid.”

 

Tyler said resentfully, “Do you think I hate you because you initiated a divorce? I can’t even thank you enough for it! You’re just a promiscuous woman. Anyone who marries you is unlucky!”

 

Jordan saw Hailey clenching her fists tightly from outside the door.

Chapter 120: Tyler Returns To Orlando!

Hailey had never had genuine feelings for Tyler, and she got together with him back then, purely because Tyler was richer than Jordan.

 

However, what Tyler said was right.

 

It would be a huge misfortune for any man to be married to Hailey.

 

While Hailey was married to Jordan, she made him a cuckold.

 

After she married Tyler later, the Collins family, which had initially been a top-tier one, ended up on the verge of bankruptcy.

 

She then reconciled with Jordan, but he turned from the president of a corporation after she did into a penniless man.

 

It wouldn’t be too much to say that she was a jinx.

 

Tyler said viciously, “Hailey, let me ask you, has Jordan really been kicked out of his family? He’s not playing any tricks, is he? Your husband is an expert at pretending to be poor!”

Hailey knew that Tyler was eager to take revenge on Jordan.

 

She said, “It’s true this time, and we’re denied entry to the UK. I called you this time to tell you that you can come back to Orlando.”

 

“I know you escaped to New York and haven’t dared to return since then because of what happened in the Roxy Hotel previously.”

 

“Your parents have been in Orlando all this while. They must miss you very much after not seeing you for such a long time.”

 

Hailey knew that Tyler hadn’t dared to return to Orlando for a long time because he was afraid that Jordan’s underground forces would deal with him.

 

Hailey reminded, “If you don’t dare to come, you can ask around and find out from those friends of yours who are gangsters, like Pablo or Salvatore, if they’re still working for Jordan.”

 

Hailey did not have any friends who were gangsters or of sordid backgrounds. At the very least, she was known to be a good girl.

 

Hence, she wanted to use Tyler to investigate the background of the underground forces in Orlando and find out if Pablo and Salvatore were still Jordan’s underlings.

 

If they were, it would prove that Jordan’s expulsion from his family was all an act!

 

Of course, Hailey had seen the drastic difference in Pablo’s attitude when he came to Ace Corporation previously.

 

Tyler humphed coldly and said, “I’m not a fool. I don’t need your reminder. I’ll definitely ask around clearly before going over. If your husband really doesn’t have any backers anymore, you can wait to collect his corpse!”

 

“Hey, don’t get up to any nonsense! Hey…”

 

Hailey said anxiously, but Tyler had already hung up the phone.

 

Standing outside the door, Jordan frowned and immediately sent Pablo a text— “Don’t do anything to Tyler Collins and Cayden Huxley just yet.”

 

Pablo replied almost immediately, “Yes, Mr. Jordan!”

 

Of course, Frank and Pablo were still working for Jordan, and the way they behaved in Ace Corporation previously was just an act!

 

Bang!

 

With a soft sound, Hailey switched off the desk lamp and went to sleep.

 

Jordan also quietly returned to the bar top counter and continued to lie down.

 

At 7 am the following morning, Jordan was half-sober when he felt someone patting his face.

 

“Hubby, Hubby.”

 

Jordan was really asleep. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted with her beautiful face.

 

After Jordan woke up, he looked around the bar top counter and asked, “How did I fall asleep here?”

 

Hailey shook her head and asked, “You’ve probably had too much to drink, haven’t you? You don’t even remember where you fell asleep. I couldn’t move you or wake you up last night no matter how hard I tried. You didn’t catch a cold, did you?”

 

Jordan shook his head and said, “I’m a martial arts practitioner. I won’t fall sick easily.”

 

Seeing that Hailey was already up, Jordan instinctively got off the barstool and said, “I’ll go make you a cup of honey water.”

 

“You don’t need to, I’ve already had some.”

 

Hailey reached out and pulled Jordan back.

 

“You’ve already had some? Did you make it yourself?” Jordan asked, looking at Hailey.

 

Hailey nodded and said, “Yes, I know how sad you are, and you’ve drunk so much alcohol too, so I made a cup for myself. You don’t have to make me honey water any more from now onwards. I get up early so I can make it myself.”

 

At this moment, Jordan froze in place.

 

Hailey would insist that Jordan made her honey water in the morning even when he was ill in the past three years.

 

It wasn’t because she didn’t have a conscience and wasn’t considerate towards him.

 

Instead, she said that it was an inexplicable bliss to be able to drink the honey water that her husband had made for her personally.

 

Besides, making honey water itself was quite an easy task that could be done in ten seconds or so.

 

Most importantly, it was a symbolization of love.

 

However, today, Hailey told him to stop doing it from now on.

 

Jordan could guess the reason for her decision.

 

Hailey wanted to slowly get used to life without Jordan because she was already preparing herself for a divorce.

 

Although Jordan ought to be glad that Hailey had the intention to divorce him, he felt extremely upset and heartbroken.

 

He suddenly asked, “Honey, now that I’ve been expelled from the family, it’ll be difficult for me to find a job here because I don’t even have a diploma. Will you leave me one day?”

 

Hailey was really upset to hear that, and she looked down on Jordan very much.

 

He was actually lowering himself and saying those humble words to her in a servile manner.

 

However, Hailey said, “No, Hubby, don’t dwell on it. Rachel asked us out for lunch at noon. Go take a nap now, and we can set off at ten. How does that sound?”

 

“Sure.”

 

Jordan returned to the room for a short nap.

 

At this moment, Tyler had already driven to the nearest rest area on the expressway.

 

Tyler did not dare to continue driving and instead called Salvatore.

 

“Good morning, Salvatore. I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?”

 

Tyler greeted respectfully.

 

“Who’s this?”

 

Salvatore was having some donuts and coffee.

 

“I’m Tyler!” Tyler said subserviently.

 

Salvatore snapped impatiently, “How the f**k would I know which Tyler you are? What’s your full name!?!”

 

“Tyler Collins! I’m Tyler Collins! My dad’s Leonard Collins, and we’ve met previously!” Tyler frantically said.

 

Salvatore quickly wiped the coffee on his lips. Tyler had sent himself to Salvatore.

 

Jordan had previously instructed them to castrate Tyler, but he was nowhere to be found even after they searched high and low in Orlando during this period of time.

 

He didn’t expect Tyler to take the initiative to call him today!

 

However, Pablo also told him not to harm Tyler and Cayden for the time being yesterday.

 

Hence, Salvatore treated Tyler with a good attitude. “It’s you, Mr. Collins! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Where are you making big bucks now? Give me some work when you have the chance to. We’re waiting to make a living.”

 

Hearing that Salvatore’s attitude was still relatively cordial, Tyler felt that he had a chance. “Salvatore, I’d like to ask you if you’re still working for Mr. Jordan Steele.”

 

Salvatore asked, “Jordan Steele? Have you not seen the news? Jordan has long since become a penniless man! I stopped working for him a long time ago!”

 

“Is that true?” Tyler was skeptical.

 

Salvatore explained, “What would I stand from lying to you? I’ve always been following Mr. Dalton, and I don’t have any personal ties with Jordan Steele. Mr. Dalton works for Mr. Reyes, and now Mr. Reyes doesn’t acknowledge Jordan Steele as his boss anymore. He has already left for England.”

 

“Mr. Dalton has left too, so I call the shots in Orlando now, haha!”

 

Tyler, who was standing in the rest area, smiled.
