The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 176-180

The Abandoned Husband Dominates Ch 176-180

Chapter 176: Of Course I Will Forgive Him!

It was the day of Cayden’s wedding and supposedly the happiest day of his life.

However, there was now an assassination at the wedding venue, and his hand started bleeding. Fortunately, it wasn’t the hand that Jordan had broken previously.

Not only was he battered with injuries, but he was also even despised by his most respected grandfather.

Feeling heartbroken, Cayden cried.

Seeing that he was bleeding profusely, Cayden’s closest friends and best men quickly rushed to escort him to the hospital.

Sylvie also came over and said to the bride, Hailey, “Hailey, you’re going to the hospital with Cayden, right? Why aren’t you tagging along with them?”

Hailey had just watched Maggie’s video on Instagram on Rachel’s phone and thus was in a terrible mood.

She hollered in exasperation, “I’m not going!”

She didn’t care about Cayden at all!

Hailey was furious because she thought she was the only one Cayden loved.

However, she didn’t expect Cayden to be in a clandestine relationship with a celebrity and even sleep with her the night before their wedding!

Sylvie quickly pulled Hailey to the side and persuaded softly, “My dear daughter, don’t be silly, don’t initiate a divorce again like you did with Tyler previously!”

“Silly girl, which man in this world can stay loyal to their wives? Men used to have multiple wives in the past. Cayden is such a good catch. It’s alright for him to have a few lovers, as long as he respects you and acknowledges you as his lawful wife.”

Hailey was speechless. “Mom, what are you talking about? Although the Camdens are inferior to the Hailey, we don’t have to stoop that low, do we?”

Sylvie said, “I know you are aggrieved, but our family is counting on you. Just bear with it and forgive Cayden. I believe he will change his ways.”

Hailey was just angry, and of course, she didn’t dare to mention the divorce.

However, Hailey did not follow her to the hospital and instead returned to her home in Jade Villa.

Cayden was sent to the hospital to have his wounds bandaged, and he soon returned.

During his journey home, he kept trying to call Maggie on the phone but to no avail. He sent her several texts too, but she didn’t answer either.

Cayden had already declared that he would make sure Maggie got ousted from the entertainment industry.

However, he didn’t know that the more he tried to use his family’s power to boycott Maggie, the more the people protected her.

It was already an issue of competition of classes. Even though the people were not Maggie’s fans, they would stand together and retaliate against the rich when they found out that Maggie was about to be boycotted by the rich and powerful.

The gap between the rich and poor in the country was already massive. For people like Cayden, the money spent on a wedding was more than what most people earn in their lifetime.

They lived in the same world, and these people bear a natural hatred towards ultrrich second-generation heirs like Cayden.

Hence, Cayden wouldn’t be able to succeed easily in boycotting Maggie. Besides, Maggie had already received the villa from Jordan, so she no longer cared if she could continue making a living as a celebrity.

Cayden returned home with his hand bandaged and a large bouquet of red roses in his arms.

When he entered the room, he found Hailey sitting on the bed with a sorrowful expression on her tear-stained face.

Cayden handed the roses to Hailey, who knocked them to the ground.

Cayden knelt in front of Hailey right on the spot and apologized, “Honey, I was wrong, please forgive me!”

Cayden would never hold himself cheap and stoop so low. In his past relationships, only women would kneel down to him, and it had never been the other way around.

Given his identity as the scion of the Huxleys, he didn’t need it either.

However, his marriage with Hailey was different because he still needed Hailey and the child in her womb to cover up his condition. He also had a perverted plan to carry out in 15 years!

Thus, he had to coax Hailey to do it.

Hailey looked at Cayden furiously and barked, “Cayden, it turns out that you were just lying when you were so nice to me. It turns out that you are seeing a celebrity behind my back. To think that I trusted you so much!”

Hailey hit Cayden’s head with a pillow!

Cayden didn’t dodge and said, “I’m a scumbag and a beast. You can beat me and berate me as you wish. I just need you to forgive me.”

“Honey, I met her yesterday to end things with her and to tell her that I’ll never see her again in this life. She was furious and ashamed. That’s why she’s attacking me like this.”

“Hailey, I promise that I will never touch another woman again in the future!”

Cayden begged Hailey for a long time, and Hailey had no intention of getting a divorce anyway. Moreover, with the pressure from the Camdens, she had no choice but to forgive Cayden.

However, despite having forgiven Cayden, she now loved him much less than she used to.

Besides, after being disappointed with Cayden, Hailey thought about Jordan…

In the meantime, while Cayden was facing the destruction of his relationship following the cancellation of his wedding, Victoria had secretly arrived at the offices of Perry Express, the second-largest courier company in the country.

She was going to apply for a position here.

At Victoria’s level of competency, she naturally didn’t have to meet any representatives of the HR company as she was allowed to meet the president or deputy president right away.

The president of Perry Express wasn’t in New York, so Victoria made an appointment with Arnold Decker, the deputy president of the company.

Before Victoria and Arnold met, Daniel, the other deputy president cum chairman’s secretary of Perry Express, had secretly called Cayden in his office.

“Cayden.”

“Uncle Daniel.”

The two shared a close relationship because Daniel was a former employee of Breezy Express groomed by Cayden’s grandfather.

Yesterday, Cayden guessed that Victoria would apply for a job at Perry Express, the competitor of Breezy Express.

Hence, he had long informed Daniel, the deputy president of Perry Express, not to hire Victoria as long as she went for a job interview.

Daniel said, “Cayden, Victoria Clarke is really here. I didn’t plan to meet her at first, but Mr. Decker insisted on meeting her.”

“Arnold Decker? You didn’t tell him that Victoria is the person I’m dealing with? What is this old fogy who didn’t graduate from college trying to do?

Cayden was a little angered.

Although Breezy Express and Perry Express were competitors, they still had to remain cordial on the surface if it concerned personal feuds.

It was mandatory to fight for what they should in business, but Victoria wasn’t a talent in logistics, so there was no need for Perry Express to insist on it.

Daniel explained, “I did, I also gave him the Bentley that you gave, but he did not listen to me at all. Arnold seems to really like Victoria Clarke very much. I reckon he’d try to keep her around!”

Cayden humphed coldly. “I don’t believe Arnold would dare to keep Victoria behind at the expense of offending my grandfather! Even your boss doesn’t dare to do that! Tell him that the Huxleys won’t let him off if he dares to hire Victoria Clarke!”

More than ten minutes later, Victoria appeared in Arnold’s office, dressed in a professional suit.

The moment Victoria appeared, Arnold swallowed his saliva excitedly.

Anyone can tell that Arnold harbored designs on Victoria!

Chapter 177: The Devious Arnold!

Arnold was in his forties, but he was neither bald nor pot-bellied. He was bespectacled and rather decent-looking.

Victoria walked in with a smile on her face and took the initiative to reach out to Arnold. “It’s been a while, Mr. Decker.”

“Long time no see.”

Arnold also hurriedly extended his hand to give Victoria a handshake.

Feeling the beauty’s soft and slender right hand, Arnold refused to let go for a long time and even kept his eyes glued onto her.

“Victoria, you’ve become prettier again.”

The two had met before at a symposium in Toronto. At that time, Arnold just happened to have an asthma attack and didn’t have an inhaler with him.

Victoria, who was a stranger to him then, saved Arnold’s life by making him a cup of hot coffee immediately after seeing his condition.

Since then, Arnold had been in love with Victoria.

It was just a small matter for Victoria, and she was extremely nice to many men, especially C-suites.

After Victoria came to New York City, she finally came to him because she knew that Arnold harbored designs on her.

If she hadn’t been forced by Cayden, she wouldn’t want to see him at all. After all, she already has a boyfriend.

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Decker. You seem much healthier than before.”

Victoria ruffled her hair.

Arnold had been holding Victoria’s hand, and he had even placed his hand on hers.

Holding Victoria’s hand with both hands, he said, “I really missed the days of skiing with you in Canada three years ago, do you still remember them? You didn’t know how to ski back then. I was the one who taught you step by step by putting my arm around you from behind. It was just like teaching you to walk.”

Victoria blushed with embarrassment, and some beautiful images of the Lake Louise ski resort flashed in her mind.

There were forests, lakes, beautiful scenery of all colors, and snow.

Ever since Arnold taught her to ski, Victoria fell in love with this recreation and went skiing every winter.

Since Victoria had come to him for help this time, she didn’t have the cheek to retract her hand.

Instead, she said with a smile, “Mr. Decker, your skiing skills are at the level of professional athletes. How could I forget?”

“Now that I’m here in New York City, we can go skiing in Hokkaido during winter.”

Arnold exclaimed with a joyful grin, “Sure! Let’s go to Hokkaido together!”

“Well… uh, won’t you invite me to take a seat?” Victoria asked awkwardly.

“Oh, it’s all my fault,” Arnold said.

Knowing that Victoria would be visiting him, Arnold had long prepared some coffee and specially instructed his subordinates to buy a small red couch for Victoria.

He had also prepared plenty of comfortable cushions and flowers to express his love for her.

After Victoria sat down, Arnold asked, “How many days have you been in New York City?”

Victoria replied, “I just arrived a few days ago.”

“I heard that you have been to several companies for interviews, but why didn’t you come to me first?” Arnold asked.

Victoria knew that Arnold harbored designs on her, but he was different from other men.

Although the presidents of other companies also harbored designs on her, most of them would keep their feelings to themselves.

However, Arnold was different as he would openly show his feelings for Victoria, and anyone could tell that he liked her.

That made Victoria feel rather uncomfortable.

“Well, I’m here now, aren’t I?” Victoria said with a smile.

Arnold said, “Mr. Fray is not in New York now, so he can’t meet you, and I can’t give you the position of deputy president either. I have to be honest with you about these in advance.”

Perry Express was also a large enterprise with a market value of billions of dollars, so not anyone can become a deputy president.

Victoria smiled and said, “Mr. Decker, I never thought of being the deputy president. I just intend to apply for a department manager. I’ve never worked in this industry, so I need to gain more experience in different positions to learn more.”

“Department manager?” This time it was Arnold’s turn to laugh, “You used to be the president of Ace Corporation, and if I let you be just a mere department manager, that would be such a waste of your competency and talent.”

Victoria laughed and said, “I’ll take that as a yes then.”

At this moment, Arnold’s facial expression became serious!

Victoria noticed that Arnold’s expression seemed a little strange and thus knew that it would not be that easy for her to even become a manager.

Victoria said bluntly, “Do you already know about the matter between the Huxleys and me?”

Arnold nodded and said, “The Huxleys have informed me in advance to turn down your job application if you come to us.”

“Although Perry Express and Breezy Express belonging to the Huxleys are business rivals, we are actually quite close to the senior executives of Breezy Express. Besides, even Mr. Fray can’t compare to the Huxleys.

Victoria lowered her head in disappointment and said, “Okay, you don’t need to go on, I understand.”

After saying that, Victoria got up and said, “I’ve disturbed you, Mr. Decker. You are busy. I’ll take my leave first.”

Victoria had gone through the motions of standing up and leaving after saying those words more than ten times in the past 24 hours.

It was sad how used she was to those actions.

Just as Victoria was about to leave, Arnold pulled her hand and said, “Victoria, don’t go yet. I didn’t say I’m not going to hire you.”

“I’m not afraid of offending the Huxleys! I will let you join the management team of Perry Express and then help you replace Daniel to become the deputy president and secretary of the board!”

Surprised and touched, Victoria asked, “Really?”

In fact, Victoria also knew that Arnold had strong connections and, thus, should not be afraid of facing the revenge of the Huxleys.

Arnold nodded and said, “However, I have one condition.”

The smile on Victoria’s face immediately stiffened.

She had guessed what Arnold’s condition was.

Arnold said, “Victoria, as you know, ever since we met in Toronto three years ago, I have taken a liking to you, and we used to reside in different cities before this. Now that you’re in New York and we’ll be working in the same company, we can be together every day.”

“So, I hope that our relationship can be developed further.”

“I’ll agree to help you as long as you’re willing to be my woman. How does that sound?”

Victoria didn’t expect that Arnold would use this to blackmail her and force her to give in!

Victoria immediately refuted, “Mr. Decker, you have a wife and family, and I have a boyfriend too. We can’t do this.”

Arnold said excitedly, “As long as we don’t tell anyone and keep the secret well, who will find out?”

“I’m the deputy president, and you’ll become the deputy president in the future too. We’ll both have our own office each, and no one can barge in without permission. We can do whatever we want in the office.”

“The same goes for when we’re traveling for business trips. Your boyfriend isn’t going to tag along anyway. Besides, I’ll be going on the trip with you as your colleague. Even if your boyfriend or my wife tries to investigate, they won’t be able to find out anything!”

Arnold seemed to have planned this a long time ago. He had carefully devised this plan to get into a clandestine relationship with Victoria!

Chapter 178: Buying Perry Express!

Such things are commonplace in the business circle and the entertainment industry.

Many millionaires would usually work all day and night, and most of the time, they would be apart from their spouses.

Hence, many of them look for a replacement partner while at work.

In the business world, many bosses would basically get into affairs with their subordinates.

In the entertainment industry, many co-stars that play an on-screen couple would even sleep with each other.

Victoria knew that Arnold’s position in the company would be easy for them to keep their affair clandestine.

Jordan had also been very trusting of Victoria and would never check up on her.

Even if Jordan wanted to check up on Victoria, she was experienced enough to keep it from him. Arnold was also scheming and careful enough. The two of them would definitely not leave any evidence behind, and Jordan wouldn’t be able to find out anything either.

However, Victoria wouldn’t do that!

If it was Hailey, she might have agreed, but Victoria was not that kind of woman!

“Mr. Decker, I hope you will respect your wife and me! I won’t get into a clandestine relationship with you because I don’t like you at all!”

“And I’m not going to let my boyfriend down just for a job! Bye!”

Victoria pushed Arnold away and got ready to leave.

However, Arnold was still unwilling to give up, so he stepped forward again to stop her. “Victoria! Think carefully! I dare say that in the whole of New York City, I’m the only one who dares to hire you at the expense of offending the Huxleys!”

“If you miss this opportunity, there is absolutely no company in New York City that would dare to hire you!”

Victoria knew that Arnold was not lying. If Arnold did not have a little background of his own and wasn’t as smitten with Victoria, he probably wouldn’t have offered to hire her at the expense of offending the Huxleys.

Victoria said, “Then I’ll leave New York City and go to a random city to live a mundane life with my boyfriend.”

“Hahaha…” Arnold guffawed hysterically and said, “Are you still the Victoria I know? How dare you come to New York City for less than three days and then let yourself be compelled to leave!?!”

“I thought you would become the most beautiful president in New York City like you did in Orlando so that all the rich bosses here would bow down to you. I thought you’d become the queen of business in New York City!”

“But you’re giving up just like this?”

Victoria clenched her fists. How could she be willing to leave just like this!?! She obviously wanted to become the business empress of New York City!

She was not the kind of woman who liked to live a mundane life. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to become the kept mistress of that old man!

Seeing that Victoria had somewhat wavered, Arnold once again spoke up tenderly.

“I know that your boyfriend is not very rich now, and I also know that you adore him greatly. I won’t vie with you for him. You’ll still belong to him at home. I just hope that we’ll be able to have a better time when we’re on a business trip.

Arnold was very close to Victoria. Looking at Victoria’s stunning face, Arnold could no longer help himself and kissed Victoria directly.

Arnold was old and experienced, and he had dated many women. Thus, he knew that many women may be stubborn and vehemently insist on sticking to their principles.

However, there were still ways to tackle these women through actions.

If Victoria didn’t resist him, it would mean that she had agreed.

However, Victoria didn’t give Arnold a chance as she simply slapped him in the face!

Smack!

Arnold’s glasses had been knocked off, and he stood still in place, absolutely dumbfounded.

Victoria said to Arnold, “I’m sorry.”

She then quickly walked out of Arnold’s office.

After Victoria left, Arnold silently picked up his glasses and secretly said, “What kind of man is he? Victoria is so in love with him that she’s actually willing to give up her career for him?”

“Victoria is really going to suffer from a good-for-nothing like him!”

An hour later, Victoria had already returned home. Still, Jordan had returned later because he had to handle the transfer of the house.

Today, he had given the Cayden and the Huxleys a tough time, which was also considered revenge for Victoria, who had been bullied by Cayden. Thus, Jordan was thrilled.

When he saw Victoria, he asked, “Honey, how was the interview today? Did Perry Express hire you?”

After Victoria saw Jordan, she leaped into Jordan’s arms and began bawling like a little girl.

In the past seven years, Victoria had never sought comfort in anyone, and she would secretly suffer in silence.

However, after getting together with Jordan, she was willing to nestle in his arms to give herself a sense of comfort.

As Victoria’s boyfriend, Jordan was really uncomfortable to see his girlfriend being so miserable.

“Victoria, what’s wrong? Did Perry Express choose not to hire you?”

Victoria said sobbingly, “Yes, no company in New York City will want to hire me.”

Jordan patted Victoria’s back and hugged her tightly. He had never seen Victoria being so aggrieved before.

“Victoria, don’t be sad. Trust me, everything will get better soon, and Perry Express will definitely hire you. They will make you the deputy president or even the president. You’ll definitely be able to shine like you used to in Orlando, trust me.”

Jordan comforted Victoria, who soon fell asleep in his arms.

After Victoria fell asleep, Jordan slowly carried her to the bed, put her down, closed the bedroom door, and then walked out.

“I can’t let Victoria go out there alone and be rebuffed again and again. She’s my girlfriend, and it’s time I do something for her!”

Hence, Jordan called his grandfather on the phone!

“Grandpa, I want to buy Perry Express!”

Jordan developed that idea not because Victoria was rejected by Perry Express today and wept in misery.

He actually had this intention long ago because he wanted to buy Perry Express to deal with Breezy Express, which belonged to the Huxleys!

He wanted to defeat Breezy Express with Perry Express and turn the latter into the top logistics company in the country!

‘Didn’t Hailey say that I would be considered a real man only if I took revenge through business means?’

‘Okay then, I’ll do just that!’

Jordan’s grandfather was a little surprised, and he asked, “Do you want to continue with your business training? Perry Express is more difficult to manage than Ace Corporation. Suppose you can turn it into a better company than Breezy Express after you become the president. In that case, I’ll consider your training a success.”

Jordan said, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I don’t want to be the president myself this time. I’m doing this because I want my girlfriend, Victoria, to become the president of Perry Express.”

For the time being, Jordan wanted to continue to hide his identity and keep a low profile as the president of the second-largest logistics company in the country.

If Jordan really becomes the company president again, Hailey and Elle would probably be flocking to him the next day.

One would ask to remarry him, and the other would propose to him.

Chapter 179: Victoria’s Ex Shows up!

Besides, he wasn’t interested in being the president of a company at all, just like how Mr. Walton said that he wasn’t interested in money.

Jordan’s grandfather had already learned about Victoria through Frank.

He also found out that Victoria was willing to resign as CEO of Ace Corporation for Jordan’s sake.

Jordan’s grandfather also admired her a lot. At the same time, he was glad that his grandson had finally found a woman who was not just after material possessions.

Jordan’s grandfather said, “Good, but the market value of Perry Express is estimated to be a few billion dollars. It won’t be appropriate to let Victoria become the president immediately.”

“If we do that, you probably won’t be able to continue keeping your identity confidential and maintain a low profile as an ordinary person.”

“I’ll let your fourth sister take over as president of Perry Express for the time being, and she can act as the buffer for the gradual handover of the position to Victoria.”

Jordan felt that his grandfather had made thoughtful considerations, and he hadn’t seen his sister for a long time, too, so he hoped that she would come to New York City.

“Yes, thank you, Grandpa.”

After hanging up, Jordan entered the room again. Looking at Victoria, who was sound asleep, he caressed her long tresses. He looked at her mature and alluring side profile.

He secretly thought, ‘Victoria, you’ll soon be able to become the president of Perry Express and the most beautiful president in New York City.’

‘Bear with it for a couple more days, Darling. Now that you’re mine, I’ll let you get everything you want!’

The beach, sunlight, sand, coconut trees, wedding dress, bouquet.

Jordan was wearing a suit and holding Hailey’s hand. It was Hailey’s third time wearing a white wedding dress.

“Hubby, we’ve finally married again. I knew you loved me the most, and you’re still willing to marry me even though I married Tyler and Cayden previously.”

Sylvie, dressed to the nines, scurried over and handed Jordan a box of folic acid tablets.

With a smile on her face, she said, “My dear son-in-law, these are folic acid tablets that are meant for preventing neurological diseases in newborns. Your firstborn is a girl, right? Work hard and try for another child so that he can also inherit your family’s billions of dollars worth of assets. Hahaha.”

Elle was also wearing a red bustier dress and walking on the beach barefooted.

She walked over slowly with an aggrieved expression and said, “Hmph, Jordan, you’re really biased towards Hailey. I’ve already gone to Korea for plastic surgery to become as beautiful as Hailey, and you still didn’t choose me. Instead, you still chose to marry Hailey in the end.”

Jordan looked at Elle, whose face had become much more exquisite than before and whose figure was still as superb as before.

He looked around and felt that the world in front of him was a total blur. The sunlight was extremely glaring, but he could easily open his eyes.

He discovered that Hailey, Sylvie, Benedict, Diana, and the rest of the Camdens were all smiling.

Rachel was smiling too!

Her smile was malicious, and it seemed to suggest that there was a conspiracy. Besides, the person who accompanied her to the wedding was Cory, her former husband!

They were locking arms, and they seemed to have gotten back together!

Jordan was so flustered that he suddenly shook off Hailey’s hand and hollered, “Why would I marry you again? Where is Victoria? Victoria’s my girlfriend!”

“She’s dead!” Hailey shouted to Jordan. “The Huxleys killed her, so you two can never be together again!”

“No! No! No!”

There was a shuffling sound.

Jordan got up from the bed, sweating profusely.

He was in a pitch dark room, and he picked up his phone to see that it was 2 am. The faint light of the screen shone on Hailey, who was sound asleep peacefully.

“Phew… it turns out to be just a dream.”

Jordan panted heavily as he thought that the images just now were all real.

He got out of bed, headed downstairs to the living room, and poured himself a glass of plain water, which he chugged in one go. He then continued to pour a second glass.

“How could I have such a strange dream? I’m not going to marry Hailey again. I don’t even want to see her again!”

Holding the glass of water in one hand, Jordan picked up his cell phone in the other and opened Instagram, only to see Hailey’s post on his screen.

“What’s going on? Didn’t she already block me?”

The day Jordan and Hailey got divorced, Hailey had already blocked him on Instagram. Since then, Jordan could no longer see her Instagram posts or send her any messages.

However, today, Jordan suddenly saw Hailey’s posts.

That just meant that Hailey had unblocked her.

“Has Hailey added me on Instagram again?”

Jordan hurriedly took a look at the content of Hailey’s post on Instagram.

Hailey had posted it just ten minutes ago, and Jordan reckoned that she was still awake.

She had posted a video of the room that Hailey and Jordan used to stay in in the villa in Orlando.

The poem was shown in the video.

“In fact, what I look forward to is just a single moment.”

“I’ve never expected you to give me your entire life.”

The background music of the video was the audio clip that Jordan had created with NEXUS.

The caption that Hailey typed was, “Entering this room is the happiest moment of my life.”

Hailey actually posted something like that on her wedding night!

It seemed that she had begun to miss the past after learning that Cayden was not a good man either.

On the other hand, Jordan just wanted to say, “Serves you right!”

‘If you had known earlier, why would you do it in the first place!?!’

Jordan wouldn’t pity Hailey because he had lived with her for three years, yet Hailey only missed the time she lived in the villa. Was she not happy during the other times of their marriage!?!

At the end of the day, Hailey missed the successful Jordan and not the good-for-nothing he was now!

Jordan didn’t like or comment on that Instagram post.

He didn’t block Hailey either because he didn’t see a need for it.

If he didn’t want to see Hailey’s posts, he could just hide them.

The only thing he wanted to do was to be nice to Victoria, and Hailey no longer had a place in his heart!

At the thought of the dream just now, Jordan smiled because he knew it would never happen in real life!

Jordan would instead marry Elle than the promiscuous Hailey!

Jordan didn’t go to work the next two days either. He simply accompanied Victoria to malls for shopping for clothes and household supplies. They also caught some movies.

Jordan’s younger sister had a busy schedule as well because she owned a company herself. Becoming the president of Perry Express and acquiring Arnold’s shares would require time.

After a few days, Jordan began to work as a courier for Perry Express, and he earned about a thousand dollars a month.

He wanted to gain experience in the current domestic courier industry as a courier of the lowest level.

It was already the peak of summertime in New York City.

Victoria had lunch every day, and she would drive to a place called Spring Bookstore to read books.

It was just like what her favorite celebrity used to do in the past.

At five o’clock in the evening, Victoria came out of the bookstore, and she was just about to return to the villa to cook and wait for Jordan. The two of them then started having dinner.

Victoria had just taken out her car keys to her Porsche Panamera. All of a sudden, a man in a suit stepped forward.

“Miss Clarke, Mr. Miller, please.”

Victoria looked at the strange man in front of her in surprise.

Afterward, she looked at the black Mercedes S65 AMG sedan parked behind her car.

“It’s a car from Houston!”

Victoria was shocked, and she walked forward.

The windows of the backseat slowly rolled down, and a man’s voice came from inside. “Victoria.”

Victoria was stunned the moment she saw that man.

This was the man who had been her sugar Daddy for three years!

Chapter 180: Proposing To Victoria!

The bespectacled man looked at least 50 years old, and he was slightly chubby.

His name was Russell Miller, the wealthiest man in Houston and the owner of a company worth hundreds of billions.

Victoria was at a loss for words the moment she saw Russell.

All of a sudden, she recalled the time when she was his mistress seven years ago.

“Get in the car,” Russell said softly in a tone that couldn’t be rebutted.

Victoria opened the car door and entered, seemingly out of instinct.

After getting inside the car, a feminine scent filled the entire car.

Russell rolled up the car window again, and the chauffeur just now was also standing outside the car without entering.

The two of them were seated quietly inside the backseat of the car parked by the roadside, and the heavily tinted windows prevented them from being noticed.

Russell stared at Victoria. At this moment, this old man, who looked aged and haggard, was suddenly glowing again.

Sure enough, women are forever the only existences that can arouse a man’s interest.

“You’re still as pretty as before, and in fact, you’re a lot more feminine now.”

Russell held onto Victoria’s slender hand.

Victoria said hostilely, “You’re old.”

Victoria seemed to have understood very well how to make Russell angry. She didn’t even have to shake off his hand. All she needed to do was to say a single sentence to make him let go.

Russell smiled bitterly and said, “That’s right. Compared to seven years ago, you seem to have aged a lot more. Most of your hair has turned white, and your body is ailing.”

Victoria and Russell hadn’t met each other in seven years. When she saw how haggard he had become, Victoria’s emotions were extremely complicated too.

“People age,” Victoria said comfortingly.

In the past, this man taught Victoria many things, and he was also the first man Victoria fell in love with.

Seven years ago, Russell was still rather handsome and dashing. At that time, Victoria had a preference for older men.

Hence, during those three years that she had been his mistress, it wasn’t strange at all that she would fall in love with him.

“What are you doing here in New York City? Is it for a meeting?” Victoria asked.

Russell looked at Victoria and said, “I’m here for you.”

“For me?” Victoria was surprised.

Russell said, “I heard that you’ve been facing trouble and getting rebuffed all the time ever since you came to New York City a long time ago. There isn’t a single company that wants to hire you.”

“Why do you want to go against the Huxleys? What did I teach you before? You are a woman, so you should be using your natural advantage to coax every boss there is. In the past seven years, you’ve been doing well in Orlando, but why have you forgotten everything that I taught you since you came to New York City!?!”

Russell’s voice was getting louder and louder, and he sounded like an elder who was teaching his junior a lesson.

Victoria had been trained by Russell, so of course, he was fit to educate Victoria.

Victoria cocked her head to the side and said stubbornly, “I chose this myself. You don’t have to bother.”

Russell stretched out both his hands towards Victoria’s neck and twisted her head back again.

He said, “How can I possibly ignore you? If I had left you alone, let those incompetent gangsters continue to woo you back then, watch your sister continue getting bullied in school, would you be where you are today?”

Victoria hung her head low and placed her hands on her skirt obediently.

“I have a boyfriend,” Victoria suddenly said.

Russell let go again and humphed coldly. “I know, his name is Jordan Steele, right? He seems to also be younger than you, and he’s the reason you offended the Huxleys, huh?”

Victoria knew that with Russell’s strength, it clearly wouldn’t be a problem for him to investigate Jordan.

“Yes, I’m very much in love with him, and his business is mine too,” Victoria said.

Russell looked exasperated. Men get jealous too.

“Break up with him. He is not suitable for you!” Russell ordered.

“No!” Victoria immediately refuted. “You’re not in any place to tell me to break up with him! Russell Miller, you and I no longer have anything to do with each other. It’s my business who I fall in love with and what I work for.”

Russell asked with a look of displeasure, “Yourself? What can you do? If I hadn’t been helping you in secret, do you think that a woman like you who has nothing but a pretty face and a superb figure could have reached the position of deputy president of Ace Corporation without sleeping with any bosses!?!”

Victoria bit her lip with an indignant expression.

She had long guessed that Russell had secretly helped her before.

She just didn’t want to acknowledge it or have any more contact with Russell because she wanted to completely forget the past.

Victoria said, “Russell, I have accompanied you for three years. I slept with you, had fun with you, spent time with you, and accompanied you to do everything. Even if I got to where I am today with your help, I deserve it too!”

“I can’t be your mistress for the rest of my life! I want to be in a relationship openly too!”

Seeing how worked up and emotional Victoria was getting, Russell recalled how Victoria used to be a pure-hearted college student. He was the reason she had become such a charming and tactful woman. He also felt very indebted to Victoria.

Russell once again held Victoria’s hand and said, “Victoria, I know I’ve mistreated you by making you remain as my mistress for as long as we were together.”

“Seven years ago, you forced me to marry you, and if I didn’t, you would leave me.”

“At that time, I couldn’t divorce her, nor could I marry you.”

“But I can marry you now, Victoria. I can make you my wife.”

Russell was the richest man in the city. With billions of dollars worth of assets, he had many women throwing themselves at him.

Victoria was a little surprised. “Are you not afraid of your wife anymore?”

Russell said, “She passed away a year ago.”

Victoria humphed coldly and thought that it was no wonder that Russell would dare to marry her.

Seven years ago, Victoria did ask Russell to marry her. She needed a proper name, and she didn’t want to continue being a mistress in secret.

However, she didn’t want to be Russell’s wife anymore!

Victoria said straightaway, “I’m sorry, there’s already a man that I’m in love with. I won’t marry you.”

Russell laughed and said, “He’s just a man who has been a live-in husband for three years. Hah, Victoria, you’ve been with me for three years. How can I not know what kind of a woman you are?”

“You can’t like such a useless man. You have to date a man who has a more powerful status than you. I’m 100% sure about that!”

“But you’re right. You started being my mistress when you were 20 years old, and you’ve never dated anyone your age since then. Jordan Steele is very young, and I also heard that he’s very handsome. I can’t compare to him no matter how rich I may be.”

“How about this? I’ll give you half a year. In the last six months, you can continue dating him and go anywhere in this world for a vacation.”

“Once you’re sick of it, come to Houston to look for me, and we’ll get married!”
