The Abandoned Husband Dominates Ch 146-150

Chapter 146: Victoria Makes It To The Hot Search!

Victoria nodded and hurriedly called the person back. She also put it on loudspeaker mode.

She knew that Jordan’s last marriage ended because Hailey had betrayed him and lied to him.

Generally, men who had been hurt in such a manner tend to be more suspicious of their future significant other.

Victoria turned on the loudspeaker because she wanted to let Jordan know that she had nothing to hide. She wanted to show him that she could make any phone call openly in front of him as she would never lie to him.

Jordan could see the purpose of Victoria’s actions and appreciated her honesty even more.

“Hey, Vincent, why did you call me at such an early hour?”

Victoria said into the microphone of her phone.

“Ah, something terrible happened, Miss Clarke!”

Vincent, who was on the other hand of the line, seemed to be very anxious.

Victoria made eye contact with Jordan before asking, “What’s wrong?”

Vincent said, “Controversial news about you is being reported all over the news now. It’s said that the president of the Ace Corporation, Victoria Clarke, is a famous local socialite in Orlando who is in an affair with multiple married, big bosses. There are also lots of explicit pictures attached to the news, and your name is now a trending search on Twitter!”

“Ah, the share price of Ace Corporation is estimated to plunge once the market opens later!”

The private life of the president of a listed company definitely had a considerable impact on the company’s share price.

Previously, there had been many similar events, and each exposé would cause the share price of the company to fall by at least five percent.

Jordan frowned. He quickly pulled out his cell phone, logged into Twitter, and checked the list of trending searches only to discover that a topic was indeed trending titled ‘Gorgeous President Of Ace Corporation Has A Distasteful Private Life’!

Jordan was extremely frustrated to see those words because Victoria was his woman!

However, she was maligned for having a distasteful private life, and it even became a trending topic on the Internet. Thus, people all over the country would definitely mistakenly assume that it was true!

Having tapped on some trending tweets, he noticed that there were indeed many photos of Victoria chatting with some big bosses of Orlando, which were very ambiguous.

“Damn, these photos have been digitally doctored, I met with these bosses in public places, and there were other people around us at the time.”

Victoria took a glance at the photos and immediately realized that she had been maliciously attacked.

Vincent said, “Miss Clarke, hurry up and come to the company. We need to hold a board meeting immediately to discuss this matter.”

Victoria said, “Okay, I’ll head over now.”

After Victoria hung up the phone, Jordan held her hand and said, “I’m sorry, Victoria, this matter is probably Cayden Huxley’s doing.”

Victoria had always been the type to leave no stones unturned and will not offend anyone.

Jordan didn’t need to guess to know that it must be Cayden who had resorted to such an unscrupulous and dirty trick to attack Ace Corporation.

Jordan felt very guilty because Cayden was harming Victoria to get back at him.

Victoria smiled and said, “Since I’m yours now, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

“Anyway, I, Victoria Clarke, am open and aboveboard. My conscience is clear, and they have nothing on me, so I’m not afraid of being slandered by them.”

Jordan nodded. He knew that Victoria was completely capable of handling this matter well.

“You should hurry and get going. Do you need me to drive you there?” Jordan asked.

Victoria shook her head and said, “It’s been a tiring night for you. You should get some rest at home… However, I want to have breakfast with you before I go…”

“Breakfast? Didn’t Vincent say that the board meeting will be held immediately?”

Jordan remembered that Victoria had always been committed to her work. She could sometimes go an entire day without eating. Thus, he was baffled as to why she would want to have breakfast now.

Slightly embarrassed, Victoria said, “You should know what I mean.”

Seeing Victoria’s shy expression, Jordan realized what she was hinting at. He said, “Oh, I get it. Let’s have breakfast before you go.”

Before getting intimate with each other, some couples fall in love and date for a long time, going on countless dates and watching countless movies together.

On the other hand, some preferred to sleep with each other before deciding if they wanted to be in an exclusive relationship or not.

Once a couple decides to date each other exclusively, they would usually get breakfast together to signify the start of their relationship.

Thus, breakfast today was very important to Victoria and Jordan.

Having breakfast together with Jordan would put Victoria at ease.

If they didn’t, Victoria might think that what they did last night was a one-night stand.

Jordan also genuinely treated Victoria as his girlfriend, so he was willing to have breakfast with him.

“I’ll make you breakfast. I’ve been a househusband for the last three years,” Jordan said with a smile.

However, when he reached the kitchen, Victoria stopped him. “I’m not a spoiled brat with Princess syndrome-like Hailey. I don’t need you to pamper me like that or cook for me. Let me make breakfast.”

Victoria made a beef burrito with pan-fried potatoes and tomatoes and poured two glasses of milk.

“Since I’m pressed for time today, I whipped up something casual. Just make do with it. I’ll prepare a sumptuous spread for you tomorrow.”

After making breakfast, Victoria washed up, put on some light makeup, and smiled at Jordan sweetly.

Jordan felt like he was on cloud nine at this moment.

He had such a gorgeous girlfriend who even personally made breakfast for him.

She was now the president of a listed company!

Hailey was worlds apart from her!

After taking a few bites of the food, she confirmed her exclusive relationship with Jordan and stood up happily to leave.

“Here are the keys. I’ll text you the PIN later. Bring your things here. Move in with me.”

Victoria handed the key to her place to Jordan.

Jordan felt that he was about to relive his life as a live-in husband again. He had lived in Hailey’s house previously, and now, he was going to move in with Victoria again.

“Sure.”

Jordan took the key and suddenly remembered, “Uh… don’t forget to get the morning-after pills.”

Victoria had abstained from sleeping with men in the last few years, so she didn’t have any such pills at home because she never had to use them.

When Victoria thought about what happened last night, she smiled blissfully and said, “Got it, bye.”

Victoria kissed Jordan and then left happily.

As soon as Victoria headed downstairs and got inside her Porsche, she was overwhelmed with joy.

“It’s been seven years, and I’ve finally gotten over my emotional trauma! I’m finally dating someone now! I have a boyfriend!”

Victoria was delighted that she had become Jordan’s girlfriend.

Even though Jordan had been kicked out of his family, he was still handsome, talented, physically fit, knowledgeable, well-mannered, and had an excellent personality.

He was definitely worthy of Victoria.

Victoria started the car and turned on the radio. She tuned in to the radio station that she often listened to.

The rhythm of the upbeat song that was on air now was just in line with Victoria’s mood at the moment.

Although she was now the talk of the town who was being labeled as a “slut” and a “brazen hussy” and subject to the cursing of countless netizens, she was still driving happily, completely not bothered by the controversy revolving around her at the moment.

She knew that the future ahead was dangerous, but she also knew that Jordan would be there for her!

Chapter 147: Jordan Is My Boyfriend!

Victoria drove all the way happily to the parking lot of the office building.

She boarded the elevator to the company’s floor and finally stopped grinning when she stepped out of the elevator.

Stepping out of the elevator, Victoria once again became the domineering and aloof female president who was perpetually austere-looking.

“Miss Clarke, you’re here! Mr. Stone and the others are waiting for you in the conference room.”

Ashley also arrived early in the morning and hurriedly walked forward to greet Victoria when he saw her.

Victoria continued to stride forward quickly and said, “Yes, I know, brew me a cup of coffee and bring it to me.”

“Yes, Miss Clarke.”

Victoria quickly reached the conference room, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The senior managerial executives of Ace Corporation had all arrived, and they all stood up when they saw Victoria.

“Miss Clarke!”

“Miss Clarke!”

Victoria’s aura was very imposing, so much so that she could make all these men bow down to her.

Victoria nodded at them one by one. Seeing that all of them, including Vincent, were smoking, she said, “Snub your cigarettes. We’re going to have an official meeting.”

Afterward, Victoria sat down in the president’s seat.

Vincent pinched his cigarette and said anxiously, “Miss Clarke, have you read the tweets and articles about you on Twitter?”

Victoria replied, “Yes, the person who released these photos deliberately cropped out other people to make it seem like I was alone with each of these men in those photos. Some are digitally doctored too. I can release the original photos to explain the matter clearly to the public.”

Vincent said, “Miss Clarke, it’s not that simple.”

Slightly angered, Victoria retorted, “Why? Do you think those rumors are true? Do you think I’ve really slept with those bosses?”

Vincent hurriedly said, “No, no, we are naturally clear about your character. I have also heard about those bosses who gave you villas and tried to court you, but you didn’t accept them at all.”

“But that’s not the core of the problem. It’s the fact that this is obviously the doing of the Huxleys.”

“I received news that the Huxleys want to retaliate against you because you repeatedly interfered and helped Jordan Steele!”

At this time, the other senior executives also spoke up one after another.

“Yes, Miss Clarke, Mr. Steele is the enemy of the Huxleys, so they’re definitely displeased that you’re so close to him!”

“That’s right, even if this photo scandal can be explained clearly, we can’t guarantee that the Huxleys will not harm you and the Ace Corporation in other ways!”

Victoria was dumbfounded. She knew that Cayden was a very narrow-minded and vindictive person.

If he wanted to attack her, he would definitely have endless ways to do so.

“What do you guys intend to do then?” Victoria asked the crowd with her arms folded around her chest.

She had a vague feeling that the board meeting was premeditated by many of the executives.

Vincent said, “Miss Clarke, we can’t afford to provoke the Huxleys from New York, so I hope that you can keep a distance from Jordan Steele!”

“That’s not all. To show the Huxleys that you and Jordan Steele no longer have anything to do with each other, I want you to issue a statement to slam Jordan!”

“Slam Jordan? About what?”

Victoria immediately got serious.

Vincent handed the document on the table to Victoria.

Victoria grabbed it and looked through it.

It turned out that it was a list of Jordan’s misdeeds!

It was all about how Jordan squandered money when he was helming Ace Corporation and how he exploited the loopholes of the law. There was even falsified proof and claims about Jordan’s promiscuous private life!

“Jordan Steele and his secretary Ashley Rose were hooking up in the office? Which bastard wrote all this stuff!?!”

Victoria was so enraged that she tore up the document on the spot and tossed it to the side.

At this time, Ashley was done brewing the coffee and happened to be bringing it to Victoria.

After bringing the coffee over, she quickly squatted down and picked up the document Victoria had torn up.

She took a look at it, only to realize that her name had been mentioned in it. She quickly got up and said, “Sirs, Miss Clarke, Mr. Steele, and I are innocent. Mr. Steele has never done those things to me.”

Vincent glared at Ashley and said, “Go out. You have no say here.”

Victoria also shot Ashley a glance and told her to leave first.

After Ashley left, Victoria lashed out at Vincent, “Vincent Stone, how can you have the cheek to write such a shameless thing? Mr. Steele used to treat all of you well in the past, right? Why do you have to slander him!?!”

Before Vincent even said anything, the others spoke up for him.

“Miss Clarke, Mr. Stone just has the best interests of we shareholders at heart. The Huxleys will spare us only if we completely draw the line with Jordan Steele.”

“Yes, Miss Clarke, just do as you are told. Anyway, Jordan Steele doesn’t have an influential background now. He wouldn’t dare to do anything if you slander him.”

Victoria slapped the table angrily and got up. “Listen up, there is no way I will slander Jordan, nor will I draw a line with him.”

“Because Jordan is my boyfriend!”

Her words made the senior management executives of the company astonished.

“What did you say? Jordan Steele is your boyfriend?”

“Victoria, stop it. I’ve known you since the first year you arrived in Orlando. You haven’t had a boyfriend in the last seven years.”

“Why would you date a penniless man!?”

Within the company, many were Victoria’s suitors. In fact, many senior executives had succumbed to working in Ace Corporation to woo Victoria.

They felt they would have a higher chance of winning her heart if they were close to him.

Hence, once they heard that Victoria had a boyfriend, they got very worked up!

Victoria looked at the crowd and said, “I’m not joking. We’ve already gotten intimate with each other!”

That was a massive blow to them!

Those executives who were secretly or openly in love with Victoria were all so enraged that they were about to vomit blood.

Looking at such a beauty, they couldn’t imagine that a penniless man could sleep with such a perfect goddess-like woman like her!

A middle-aged man, who had been pursuing Victoria for three years, suddenly slapped the table and hollered at the top of his voice.

“Victoria Clarke! You’re just acting nonsensically! Knowing full well that Jordan is an enemy of the Huxleys, you didn’t keep a distance from him. You even… slept with him!”

“Do you even care about our interests as the shareholders!?!”

“That’s right, that’s right, your relationship doesn’t concern you alone, but our interests too!”

“You either break up with him or step down as president!”

Everyone was targeting Victoria.

Victoria bit her lips. She was very indignant because she had finally become the president of a listed company after a long time of working hard. She would never hand over her position so easily!

“I was appointed as president by Mr. Reyes, who is the biggest shareholder of Ace Corporation. No one will try to kick me from my position as president without his permission! Who I sleep with is none of your business!”

Victoria was so furious that she knocked over the cup of coffee that she hadn’t taken a sip from. She then walked out of the conference room.

“Call Mr. Reyes!”

“Tell Mr. Reyes to stop this crazy woman!”

“Damn it, after seven years of protecting her chastity, she let Jordan Steele have the privilege of getting intimate with her! I own a listed company myself. I wouldn’t have stayed in Ace Corporation for three years if not for the sake of courting her!”

“In my opinion, Victoria Clarke is just a cheap woman. I bet she chose to make Jordan Steele her boy toy because he’s good in bed!”

“A shameless woman like her can’t be the president of Ace Corporation!”

The people in the conference room scolded Victoria endlessly.

Chapter 148:c

The senior executives of Ace Corporation were either profit-minded or carried a torch for Victoria.

None of them would allow Victoria to act so presumptuously, and they were bent on breaking her and Jordan up.

Hence, they decided to reflect this matter to Frank.

Soon, Jordan arrived at the express hotel to pack his things as he got ready to move in with Victoria tonight.

He received a call from Frank.

Jordan frowned. He had mentioned before that even after divorcing Hailey, he wanted to live a normal life.

He told Frank not to disturb him if there was nothing important.

It seemed that Frank had something important to say to Jordan.

“What is it?” Jordan answered the call.

Frank said, “Mr. Jordan, the shareholders of Ace Corporation have just forced Victoria to make a choice between severing ties with you and stepping down as president.”

“They also said that Victoria is now your girlfriend. Is that true?”

Jordan nodded, “Well, it just happened last night, don’t tell Grandpa for now.”

“Yes, Mr. Jordan.”

As a subordinate, Frank didn’t dare to say much about Jordan’s private relationship.

“How should I handle this matter then? Should I stand on Victoria’s side and tell those shareholders to shut up?”

Jordan thought about it. If Frank were to do that, Cayden would definitely attack the Ace Corporation again and make Ace Corporation go bankrupt.

In that case, many people in Ace Corporation would suffer heavy losses, and Victoria would be doomed sooner or later.

On the other hand, Jordan also wanted to know what choice Victoria would actually make.

“Just do what the shareholders said,” Jordan instructed.

In fact, there was no longer a need to save the Ace Corporation. Having been attacked by Cayden for so long, Ace Corporation’s reputation had long been tarnished, and they had already lost their competitive edge.

Even if Victoria continued being president of Ace Corporation, she wouldn’t be able to serve for long.

“Yes!”

After hanging up the phone, Frank immediately called Victoria.

“Mr. Reyes.”

“Miss Clarke.”

“You can just call me Victoria.”

“Victoria, Vincent, and the others called me to tell me about the situation over at the company. I heard that the Huxleys are attacking the Ace Corporation because of your relationship with Jordan, is that right?”

“Yes!”

“I heard that you are now Jordan’s girlfriend. Do you also think that Jordan’s expulsion from the Steele family has been staged too? As the butler of the Steeles for decades, I can tell you clearly that Jordan has indeed been disowned by the Steeles and is not allowed to set foot in England forever. Suppose you’re doing this because of Jordan’s status as the scion of a wealthy family. In that case, you’re just engaging in wishful thinking.”

Frank had said that to test Victoria too. After all, Jordan had already been cheated on before.

Victoria frantically said, “Mr. Reyes, I don’t care if he is a scion of a wealthy family or not. I like him for who he is, and regardless of whether he’s rich or poor, it doesn’t affect my decision to date him.”

Frank, who was in England, had a heartened smile on his face when he saw that. He was also glad that Jordan had finally found a good partner.

Frank said, “Victoria, I admire you. There are not many women like you in this world.”

“However, reality is harsh, and I don’t want to lose my interest in Ace Corporation for nothing because of your relationship.”

“I’ll give you two choices now. You either break up with Jordan and never contact him again. Then, express your stand to the Huxleys and continue to be the president of the Ace Corporation.”

“Or, step down and resign as president!”

Victoria, who was sitting in the president’s office, bit her lip with tears in her eyes.

Frank sighed. “I know you started from the bottom as a secretary and struggled for seven years in Orlando to reach the position of president today.”

“You must think through this carefully. Is it worth it to give up seven years of hard work for Jordan?”

Seeing that Victoria didn’t speak for a long time, Frank didn’t urge her and simply said, “How about this? Think through it carefully and give me your answer once you have made up your mind.”

“That’s not necessary.” Victoria suddenly said with a look of determination, “I choose to step down as the president of Ace Corporation!”

“Thank you for your trust in me all this while, Mr. Reyes. I’m sorry to have disappointed you, and I hope that I’ll have the chance to work for you again in the future. Goodbye!”

In a mysterious mansion in England.

A smile appeared on Frank’s face.

After hanging up the phone, Frank smiled and said, “Victoria, you’re fortunate. Now that you’ve given up your position as the president of a company worth a few hundred million dollars, you’ll become the president of an international corporation that’s worth a few billion dollars in the future!”

“Mr. Jordan will not let you sacrifice for nothing!”

Orlando.

At 12:30PM, Victoria returned to the estate and yelled at the door.

“Jordan, are you home?”

The door was not locked with a facial recognition lock. Victoria was now carrying hefty things with both hands.

Within a few seconds, Jordan opened the door from the inside.

Victoria was wearing a white shirt, a formal mid-length skirt, and a pair of black stilettos, completely exuding the charm of a gorgeous president.

However, she carried two large supermarket shopping bags in her hand, which didn’t match her goddess-like aura.

Victoria smiled as soon as she saw Jordan.

“I knew you were waiting for me at home.”

Victoria strode in and asked, “Jordan, I bought a lot of food, you can have a taste of my cooking.”

Victoria was about to go to the kitchen to cook.

However, Jordan grabbed her slender wrist and helped her carry the supermarket bags over, and placed them on the floor.

He then closed the door.

Jordan walked towards Victoria with a solemn expression on his face and caressed her face. “I watched the news. Why did you step down as the president of Ace Corporation? Is it because of me?”

Victoria hid her displeasure with a smile and said, “No, I’ve long wanted to quit working at Ace Corporation because those old fogies have been badmouthing me.”

Jordan held Victoria’s hand and said, “I asked Vincent about it. He said that you gave up the position of president of Ace Corporation for me. Why are you so foolish? I don’t deserve such a huge sacrifice from you.”

Jordan was really moved after learning of Victoria’s choice. He didn’t expect that Victoria would be willing to give up the career she had been pursuing for years, for his sake.

If it were Hailey, she would probably choose Ace Corporation without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Victoria answered domineeringly, “It’s not up to you to say if it’s worth it or not. It’s up to me!”

Jordan was so touched that he vowed that he would make Victoria the president of a more prominent company in the future!

However, at this moment, he could only compensate in other ways.

Jordan picked Victoria up and walked towards the bedroom.

Victoria kept punching Jordan playfully. “Let go. I need to cook!”

“What for? We’re not eating!”

Victoria’s stilettos dropped to the ground, one by one.

Meanwhile, in Jade Villa, New York.

Hailey had just woken up in Cayden’s arms.

“Honey, what’s the occasion?”

Hailey asked as she rubbed her eyes wearily.

Chapter 149: Goodbye, Orlando!

Cayden had to go to a hospital in New York for another checkup to confirm if he was really infertile.

Thus, Cayden headed straight to New York after he was discharged from the hospital in Orlando.

Hailey tagged along with Cayden to New York.

Cayden hid it from Hailey and secretly went to the hospital for the checkup, only to be told that he was indeed infertile now, just as he had been diagnosed in Orlando.

In a fit of anger, he fired all the doctors and nurses who were on duty at the hospital in Orlando on the day of his accident and spent a load of money to find the female nurse who had given him the injection that day.

On the other hand, he had been behaving like an ordinary man in front of Hailey.

They even got intimate with each other when they arrived in New York.

Due to the fact that Hailey was pregnant now, they didn’t reach home run.

Cayden handed his cell phone to Hailey to show her something. It said, “Look, Victoria Clarke has stepped down as the president of Ace Corporation.”

“Huh? Why? Hasn’t this woman always wanted to be the president of the company? Did you attack Ace Corporation again?”

Hailey knew that Victoria was a very ambitious woman and would not easily step down as president.

Pretending to be innocent, Cayden said, “No, I didn’t. I think there was an exposé about her promiscuous private life on the Internet and her various hookups with lots of big bosses in Orlando who are already married.”

“The Ace Corporation was affected by that, and their stock price plunged greatly. I think the board of directors and shareholders forced her to step down.”

Hailey was overjoyed, and she asked, “Is that so? Victoria Clarke, I didn’t expect that this would happen to you one day!”

Victoria had given Hailey a slap on her face and always suppressed her with her seniority. She had even disregarded Hailey and got close to her ex-husband, Jordan.

Hence, Hailey absolutely hated Victoria and was also extremely jealous of her.

She hurriedly took out her cell phone and checked the news about Victoria, after which she humphed coldly.

“Victoria Clarke is a vixen, to begin with! My grandmother has long said that Victoria Clarke must have had the help of a wealthy backer to reach the position of president in just a few years after moving to Orlando!”

“This shameless woman lingers around those big bosses all day and has gotten them head-over-heels smitten with her. She’s so cheap!”

Cayden laughed and exclaimed, “Honey, don’t bother about these poor people. Get up and wash up. I’ll take you to the mall to get some gifts. We’re going to meet my grandfather and parents tonight to get their approval for you to marry me!”

Hailey also immediately perked up and said, “Okay, okay, it’s all your fault for not letting me sleep all night last night. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have slept until noon.”

Cayden chuckled, extremely pleased to have won the heart of such a gorgeous beauty.

Orlando.

Two o’clock in the afternoon.

Jordan and Victoria had just had lunch at this time, which was a sumptuous spread prepared by Victoria.

Victoria looked at the topless Jordan and felt a little shy. He had a wonderful figure, and his abs, in particular, would make countless men-crazy women salivate.

The way she felt about Jordan was an experience she had never had before.

Previously, Victoria had been in a relationship with a man who was about her father’s age.

On the other hand, Jordan was even younger than Victoria, and his energy, vigor, and vitality were things that old men did not possess.

“What do you think of my cooking?” Victoria asked.

Jordan took a bite of the tasty and tender crawfish before nodding in delight. “Excellent!”

“I haven’t been to Houston. I’d like to go there to try some cajun crawfish after tasting the one you just cooked.”

Victoria smiled happily and said, “Sure, there are many beautiful babes there. Oh, and my sister’s cooking is even better than mine.”

“When we get to Houston, I’ll get her to cook for you.”

Jordan said, “Oh yes, you have a younger sister. She should be all grown up now, right? Has she started working yet?”

Victoria nodded and said, “Yes, she’s working as a flight attendant. Her figure is much better than mine. Do you want to see some photos of her?”

Jordan looked at Victoria’s smile and suddenly detected a hint of conspiracy. He quickly smiled and refuted with a wave of his hand, “Nah, I’m only interested in you.”

“Hmph, you’re smart!” Victoria laughed.

Suddenly, Victoria became serious and said, “Jordan, I want to leave Orlando and go to New York.”

“I have a friend who owns a cosmetic product company, and she has asked me to join her before.”

“Now that she knows I’m stepping down as the president of Ace Corporation, she has already sent me countless texts to ask me to go over and give her a hand.”

“As you know, New York is a cosmopolitan city that’s more business-oriented than Orlando, though Orlando is also a first-tier city.”

“I’ve always wanted to work there.”

Jordan took a sip of soup and then wiped his mouth. He knew that Victoria was an ambitious woman.

Orlando was not her home, and she didn’t plan to stay in Orlando forever either. Now that she had just resigned, it was an excellent opportunity to work in a more developed city.

Jordan said, “Orlando is also an unhappy place for me. I don’t want to stay here either. I’ll accompany you to New York!”

“Really?” Victoria was elated, but she was also slightly hesitant. “But, the Huxleys hold great power in New York. I’m afraid they will get someone to deal with you…”

Jordan chuckled and said, “It’s okay. New York is the most developed city in the country and also relatively safe. They won’t dare to act rashly.”

“Besides, with my strength, three or five people can’t hurt me.”

Jordan thought, ‘Cayden Huxley, you’d better not mess with me in New York. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than just being infertile!’

Today, Cayden had slandered Victoria and made the whole country think that she liked to hook up with wealthy tycoons. Jordan hadn’t gone to settle accounts with him yet!

A week later.

Jordan and Victoria packed their suitcases and left for New York.

God knows when they would return to Orlando again after leaving this time.

“Goodbye, Orlando!”

Before leaving, Victoria took a picture and posted it on Instagram.

She had spent seven years hustling in this place, and now, he was going to a vaster and greener pasture!

Victoria asked Jordan, “You’ve also been in Orlando for three years. Are you feeling emotional too?”

Jordan shook his head and said, “No.”

Jordan had gotten used to parting and moving from place to place regularly since a young age.

He did not have any particular emotions or attachments to places and would only have feelings for people.

Memories are like the highway in the rearview mirror. The more you try to seize it, the further away it will be from you.

The image of Jordan’s ex-wife Hailey kept surfacing in his mind.

The strange thing was that although Hailey had betrayed Jordan twice, he wasn’t thinking about how she had mistreated him.

Instead, he was thinking about the sweet and heartwarming memories.

Jordan was thankful that he had resolutely chosen to get a divorce. Otherwise, he might decide to forgive her again as time passed.

“Goodbye, Orlando!”

Chapter 150: Stella Weston Of New York

It would take about 16 hours to drive to New York from Orlando.

Jordan drove a little slower this time, so they took one full day to arrive in New York.

New York is a world-class international metropolis where there are many foreigners.

Jordan had visited New York many times in the past three years.

However, he would come with Hailey each time, and apart from staying in the hotel, he would spend the rest of his trip shopping with her.

So far, he hadn’t had the chance to appreciate the charm of the city properly.

Now, he had plenty of time to experience it with Victoria and explore the attractions one by one.

They drove to the downtown area of New York City, and Jordan found that the city roads were in good condition and the drivers were better.

There was great racial diversity in this city, and the pedestrians on the streets were of many ethnicities.

Victoria rolled down the window of the passenger seat and pointed to a towering building in the distance. She asked, “Jordan, have you been there?”

Jordan looked over and asked, “One World Trade Center? Never been there.”

Victoria smiled and asked, “Do you want to visit it at night? The observation deck is on the 100th, 101st, and 102nd floors, and it provides an aerial view of the beautiful skyline. It feels great to stand up there and look down on the world below!”

“Sure.” Jordan was also eager to experience it.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen much of the world.

Instead, it was because this plot of land belonged to the Steeles decades ago.

In addition, the Steeles had purchased banks and shopping malls in the past.

At that time, Jordan’s grandfather invested in many projects in New York City, and he commanded great power.

At that time, Arthur Huxley owned only a small workshop.

Jordan’s grandfather also helped many people in New York City, but how they were doing now was unknown.

At this moment, Victoria’s cell phone rang.

“It’s Stella.”

Victoria glanced at her phone and said to Jordan.

Victoria was simply the perfect girlfriend as she would inform Jordan immediately every time she got a phone call.

In fact, Jordan trusted Victoria very much, and he didn’t need her to act like this at all.

Stella was Victoria’s best friend, Stella Weston. She ran her own cosmetic product business and was a very successful career woman.

She was the one who invited Victoria to come to New York.

“Hello, Stella.”

“Sweetie, can you come to New York today?”

Stella would always refer to Victoria as “sweetie.”

“I’m already here. We just reached the downtown area.”

“What? You’ve actually already arrived! Didn’t you say you would come in the evening? Send me your location, I’ll pick you up!”

“It’s alright. I drove here.”

“Come meet me at my office then. Stay with me for a while. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

After hanging up, Victoria looked at Jordan helplessly and said, “I’m afraid we can’t go to the One World Trade Center tonight to enjoy the scenery.”

Jordan smiled and asked, “Did your best friend ask you out?”

Victoria nodded and said, “Yes, I was planning to spend some time with you today and wait until tomorrow to tell her that I’ve arrived, but I didn’t know that she would call me so soon.”

Jordan could tell that the two of them had a good relationship with each other.

Thus, Jordan drove Victoria to the building where Stella’s office was located.

As soon as they entered the lobby of the office building, a fashionably dressed woman wearing a pink dress and red lipstick leaped towards Victoria.

“Victoria!”

“Stella.”

They hugged and even kissed each other.

Stella was the one who forced the kiss.

That made Jordan feel really awkward because Victoria was his girlfriend, yet she was kissed by force…

Although Stella was a woman, he felt uneasy.

“You’re so liberal even in the lobby of your office.”

Victoria was also a little helpless.

Stella exclaimed with a smile, “It’s been too long since I last saw you. You’ve finally come to New York to see me. We can finally have a chat over some drinks!”

Jordan heard Victoria mention that she and Stella met on a cruise ship abroad. At that time, both of them were in a foul mood and were drowning their sorrows in wine at the bar. They then started chatting with each other.

They ended up chatting for the rest of the night.

They were both about thirty years old, and Stella was three years older than Victoria.

They also shared similar personality traits and were both independent and domineering women who had successful careers.

Stella now owns a cosmetic product brand named after herself and hired a famous list actress to be her brand ambassador. Her cosmetics had been selling very well.

Victoria introduced Jordan to Stella. “Stella, let me introduce to you. He is Jordan, my boyfriend!”

Stella sized up Jordan and realized that he was dressed in an ordinary outfit comprising a simple T-shirt, a pair of linen pants, and casual shoes.

He wasn’t wearing any expensive accessories, like a watch, bracelet, ring, or anything else.

As a person who was familiar with the fashion industry, Stella had a bad impression of Jordan because of the way he dressed.

She thought that he must either be poor or lacked a tasteful fashion sense. Otherwise, how could he not have a single designer item on him?

“Hello.”

Stella waved at Jordan perfunctorily.

Stella and Victoria were extremely close friends. Victoria had been singing praises about her along the way, so he thought she would shake his hand.

Jordan was all ready to reach out his hand, only to find that Stella simply did not want to get too close to him,

“Hello.” Jordan also merely waved his hand.

“Victoria, come up with me. We’re doing a live stream now. Come join in the fun.”

Stella took Victoria’s hand and headed for the elevator.

Jordan tagged along.

When they arrived on the 13th floor where Stella’s company was, he discovered that almost all the employees were women.

There were also men, but they were quite effeminate.

Everyone seemed to be busy and kept walking around. Jordan knocked into four people when we walked ten steps forward.

“What kind of company is this?”

Such a situation would never exist in Ace Corporation.

Wherever he appeared, the employees would consciously dodge and back off.

However, the employees of this company seemed to have the guts to even knock into Stella…

Stella pulled Victoria to a room where a girl was staring at her phone and hosting a live stream.

“So she sells goods during live-streams.”

Jordan knew that it was a popular e-commerce sales method.

However, he didn’t expect the owner of a cosmetic product brand to do the same in person.

When they arrived at the room, Stella walked up to Jordan and said, “Your name is Jor… What’s your name again?”

“My name is…”

Jordan was just about to speak.

“Ah, it doesn’t matter, sit here and refrain from moving about. We’re doing a live stream now, don’t enter the frame of the camera, okay?”

Stella looked at Jordan.

Jordan nodded. “Alright.”

Stella then grabbed Victoria, and they both appeared in the live stream!
