The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 246-250

Chapter 246: The Child Must Carry The Last Name Steele!

Jordan grew up experiencing a variety of trials arranged by his family, so his maturity level had long surpassed that of the majority of people of the same age as him.

However, it was Jordan’s first time being a father!

This feeling was wonderful and exciting for him.

After all, women are the ones who give birth to babies, and men do not get to experience the process of childbirth firsthand.

He had just been informed outside the ward that the child had been born.

Soon, Sylvie walked over to Jordan excitedly and said happily, “Hailey has delivered! Hailey has delivered!”

Jordan was a little surprised. “So soon? Are the twins two boys or two girls? Or is it a boy and a girl?”

After entering the delivery room, it took only over ten minutes for Hailey to deliver, and Jordan thought it would take at least an hour or two.

In fact, there was no absolute relationship between the time of entering the delivery room and the duration of delivery because there were three stages of labor. Hailey was already in the third stage of labor, which would take no more than 30 minutes.

Sylvie replied, “We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet. We have to wait for another two hours before they can be brought out.”

“Oh.” Jordan rubbed his hands, eager to see the babies!

Sylvie instructed Jordan, “Remember the exact timing of their birth.”

“Alright, Aunt Sylvie.”

Sylvie rubbed her hands together gleefully and said, “What do you think is a good name for the children? I thought of a few. Tell me what you think of them.”

“If it’s two boys, one will be called Zachary and the other Zander.”

“If it’s two girls, one will be named Scarlet and the other Sierra.”

“If it’s a boy and a girl, how about Adam and Anna?”

Seeing that his former mother-in-law had painstakingly given his children names, Jordan smiled and said, “They sound great.”

To his surprise, Sylvie continued, “Zachary Huxley, Zander Huxley, Zachary Camden, Zander Camden, Sierra Huxley, Scarlet Huxley, Sierra Camden, Scarlet Camden. Hahhaa that sounds great.”

Jordan’s smile suddenly changed!

Jordan questioned Sylvie with a serious expression, “Auntie, what do you mean?”

Sylvie said, “What do YOU mean?”

Jordan said, “What do you mean by taking the last names of these names and adding Camden or Huxley? I’m the father of the children, and their last names should be Steele!”

Jordan was furious because he thought that they should be carrying his last name!

Hearing his words, Sylvie chuckled and said, “Jordan, are you alright? You want the babies to take your last name? You’re just a live-in husband. Why should they take your last name? Don’t you know that a live-in son-in-law is not qualified to have his children take his last name?”

“Now there are only two possibilities for their last names, and they were Huxley or Camden. Hailey wants them to take her last name, but I think that since she has already married Cayden, they should take his last name. What do you think, Jordan?”

Jordan flew into a rage. “Bullshit! My children can only carry the last name ‘Steele’!”

Seeing that Jordan had lost his temper, Victoria quickly grabbed his arm and persuaded, “Jordan, simmer down and talk things over slowly. The babies have just been born, don’t be so eager to name them.”

Sylvie rolled her eyes at Jordan and said, “My dear former son in law can you go back and look in the mirror? After three years of freeloading off the Camdens. You still want the children to take your last name? Oh, you’ve got some nerve.”

After saying that, she walked back to the delivery room.

Bang!

Jordan was so furious that he punched the wall.

Although the children have been born, they would soon be taken away by his family, but he hoped that ‘Steele’ would be their registered last name.

“Jordan, calm down, wait for Hailey to come out of the delivery room, and talk things over with her then. Her life may not be out of danger yet.”

Jordan nodded.

Just like that, another two hours passed.

The Huxleys were a notable family, and today, everyone thought it was Cayden’s kids that were going to be born so soon. The Huxleys’ acquaintances and friends were gathered at the hospital, including those who wanted to suck up to them.

Soon, Arthur himself also arrived.

As soon as Arthur got out of the elevator, he saw Victoria and Jordan.

Arthur had long treated Victoria as his younger sibling, so he naturally wouldn’t fail to greet her when he saw her.

“Victoria, what brings you here?” Arthur asked curiously.

Victoria smiled and said, “Just to join in the fun.”

Arthur smiled and said, Victoria, you’re really too harsh to Russell. I’m Russell’s sworn brother, and you still beat me so hard.”

Arthur was implying that Perry Express, which was helmed by Victoria, had completely defeated Breezy Express.

Victoria said, “Mr. Huxley, don’t say that. I’m just an acting president, and the person who has real control over the operations is Miss Audrey. How dare I compete with you, Mr. Huxley?”

Arthur smiled, knowing that Victoria wasn’t a simple woman. He looked at Jordan again and asked, “You must be Mr. Jordan Steele, right?”

Jordan and Arthur were meeting for the first time. Jordan greeted, “Hello, Mr. Huxley.”

Arthur had heard Russell mention that Jordan was not a simple person. It was highly likely that his expulsion from the Steele family was a hoax.

However, Arthur did not know about Jordan’s relationship with his granddaughter-in-law, Hailey.

Hence, he said, “Since you are here, let’s go see my great-grandchildren together.”

Arthur took the two of them to the delivery room together.

At this moment, the operation was over, and Hailey had given birth to a pair of twins comprising of a girl and a boy!

Arthur burst into laughter and said, “I heard that the chances of having twins are extremely low, and to have a boy and a girl is even less likely. It’s a huge blessing that my grandson gets a son and a daughter at the same time!”

“Congratulations, Mr. Huxley! Congratulations on your great-grandchildren!”

“In the future, the boy will definitely inherit your family’s business empire while the girl will rise to fame in the city!”

Others showered Arthur with compliments.

‘Hmph, a bunch of idiots. You people don’t even know that the babies don’t belong to the Huxleys at all. Arthur’s dearest grandson had become infertile a long time ago, and he can forget about having children forever!’

Jordan secretly thought, but he wouldn’t make things hard for Cayden in public.

He entered the delivery room and looked at the pair of little angels from afar while countless warmth surged in his heart.

There seemed to be a telepathic communication between him and the children as he felt they must belong to him!

At this moment, Jordan’s phone rang. It was a call from Frank.

Jordan then walked out, ran to the security exit, and answered the phone.

“Butler Frank.”

“Mr. Jordan, I heard that your ex-wife Hailey went into labor today. Have the babies been delivered safely?”

“Yes, labor went smoothly, and both the mother and children are safe. She gave birth to a boy and a girl.”

“A boy and a girl? There’s like a 0.1% chance of that happening. Congratulations, Mr. Jordan!”

“Thank you.”

“But don’t mind me. Although you trust Hailey, it’s still necessary to do a DNA paternity test!”

Chapter 247: Talking To Me About Status?

A paternity test!

For a wealthy family, a paternity test is mandatory!

After all, tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars of assets are no laughing matter, and they couldn’t allow someone else’s child to benefit for nothing.

Besides, the Steeles had a unique training regime for their descendants, and only their biological descendants would enjoy such treatment.

Jordan said indifferently, “I know. I’ll find time to do the paternity test.”

Jordan hung up right away.

He did not have the intention to get the paternity test done now because Hailey had just given birth after all.

The Huxleys and the Camdens were now surrounding the children, and Jordan couldn’t get close at all.

Jordan intended to let Hailey rest for a few days before mentioning to her about the paternity test.

Jordan walked back to the ward from the security exit, tapped Victoria’s back, and said, “Let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

The two drove away from the hospital.

Victoria noticed that Jordan looked slightly austere and didn’t seem happy to have become a father.

She asked, “Jordan, why are you sulking? Aren’t you glad to have a son and a daughter now?”

Only then did Jordan force a smile and said, “No, I’m really happy about it.”

How could Victoria not see through Jordan’s thoughts?

Since there were no outsiders in the car, Victoria went straight to the point, Uh, Jordan, are you worried that… the children don’t belong to you?”

Hailey was a terrible woman who had cheated thrice and repeatedly lied to Jordan, so it was difficult to trust her.

Jordan chuckled and said, “Of course not! The children are definitely mine. When we were trying for a baby, Hailey and I just got back together.”

“At that time, we had a very loving relationship, and I had just exposed my identity to her, so she was aware of the rules imposed by the Steeles where all children had to undergo a paternity test.”

“So, even if she was really seeing another man besides me at that time, she wouldn’t have dared to mess around because she was after our family’s assets.”

Jordan understood Hailey well and knew that she was a woman who valued money more than anything else!

She cheated on Jordan with Cayden because she was already pregnant with Jordan’s child, so she was fearless.

If she was still childless when she met Cayden, she might not have dared to get too close to Cayden.

Hearing Jordan’s analysis, Victoria suddenly found him to be really pitiful.

It was unfortunate for a man to go through all sorts of analyses and judgments to conclude if his newborn children were really biologically related to him.

Victoria held onto Jordan’s hand and said, “Honey, if I give birth to our kids, I won’t let you be so worried. I swear that the children I give birth to will definitely be yours and only yours.”

Jordan had one hand on the steering wheel and the other wrapped around Victoria’s hand.

He could only seek warmth and comfort from Victoria!

What Hailey brought her was only misery, betrayal, doubt, and heartache!

Just like that, another week passed.

Jordan felt that Hailey had gotten enough rest after labor. It was time for him to go to the hospital to talk to her about the paternity test and the children’s last names.

Hence, Jordan bought some fruit and health supplements early in the morning before heading to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital’s VIP ward, Jordan discovered two guards outside the ward.

“What are you doing?”

One of the guards asked Jordan.

Jordan sized up the two people, surprised to find that the Huxleys had deliberately hired security guards to guard the ward. It seemed that the twins mattered a lot to them.

‘Unfortunately, the children don’t belong to the Huxleys at all!’

Jordan would like to thank them for taking such great care of his children.

Jordan said, “I’m here to see Hailey and the babies.”

The guard continued to ask, “Tell me your name and work unit. We have to report to the higher-ups before you can be permitted entry.”

It seemed that not any Tom, Dick, or Harry could visit Hailey.

It made sense. Given that the Huxleys were so wealthy and powerful, there must be loads of people who want to befriend them and suck up to them.

After those businessmen learned that the Huxleys had welcomed a pair of twins, they’d definitely rush to the hospital to send gifts and curry favor with them.

That would disturb Hailey and the twins while they were resting, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for the Huxleys to accept their gifts without helping them in the future.

That was why the guards would ask for the names of the visitors and the companies they represented.

Jordan understood the rationale behind it, so he cooperated and answered, “Jordan Steele, manager of the training department of Perry Express.”

To his surprise, the guards both laughed after hearing Jordan’s answer.

One of the guards laughed and gibed, “Hahaha, a mere training department manager is here to give gifts too? Trying to suck up to the Breezy Express, huh? Get the president of your company, Victoria Clarke, to come over instead!”

The other guard laughed and said, “This damned Perry Express caused Breezy Express to lose billions of o dollars. Quickly get lost, you lowly training department manager. The sight of you irks me!”

Bang!

The guard then kicked over the fruit basket that Jordan was carrying and criticized, “Trust you to have the cheek to bring these lousy fruits here. Save it for yourself!”

After the guard kicked it, the various fruits in the fruit basket were scattered all over the ground.

Jordan was enraged!

“Pick them up,” Jordan said coldly to the guard who had kicked the fruit basket.

The guard said without a single trace of fear, “Who are you trying to scare? Punk, I’ve forbidden countless bosses of various companies from entering. Do you think…”

Seeing that the guard did not intend to pick up the fruit, Jordan immediately grabbed the guard’s wrist tightly.

“Ah, it hurts!” The guard screamed in pain.

Another guard kept his guard up when he saw Jordan getting physical. “Punk, you must be courting death!”

He was just about to help his pal out when Jordan punched his face with his other hand.

Jordan’s left hand struck the guard’s face, and he passed out immediately after being slammed against the wall.

The other guard, whose wrist was grasped tightly by Jordan, was so frightened that he started trembling.

Jordan once again asked the guard, “Are you going to pick it up or not?”

Only then did the guard start to comply and nod profusely. “Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ll pick up the fruit right now!”

Jordan let go of the guard and kicked him to the ground!

“Filthy snob!”

As the saying goes, lackeys tend to be harder to deal with than their bosses. In many places, these watchdogs tend to throw their weight around with the little amount of power that they were given and make things hard for others.

Jordan hated these things the most!

The guards picked up the apples obediently, and when they suddenly saw someone, they exclaimed with a joyful grin, “Mr. Huxley, you’re here!”

It happened that Cayden had also just come over to visit Hailey.

The guard immediately approached Cayden and said, “Mr. Huxley, this man is a lowly manager of the training department of Perry Express. I stopped him from entering, but he kicked up a fuss and knocked out my partner! Should we call the police?”

When Cayden saw Jordan, he said to the guard, “That’s not necessary. I know this person.”

Cayden walked towards Jordan and said sneeringly, “Jordan, it’s okay for you to come to see Hailey, but why did you beat my guards up as soon as you arrived?”

Jordan said, “You should discipline your men properly and teach them not to have their noses in the air!”

Cayden humped coldly. “You should reflect on yourself and find the reasons for their behavior. If you’re the president or vice president of Perry Express, I reckon they wouldn’t have stopped you.”

“This world is like that. It’s all about status and identity wherever you go.”

Jordan sneered, “Hmph, status and identity? Is my identity as the babies’ father not enough for me to be granted entry!?”

Chapter 248: You’re Not Fit To Get The Paternity Test Done!

Hearing Jordan’s words, the smug Cayden immediately blushed with embarrassment!

The guards on the side, on the other hand, were bewildered by what they had just heard.

‘The babies’ father?’

‘What babies’ father?’

Cayden didn’t want the irrelevant people to learn of the secret between them, so he reached his hand out and said, “Come on in. Save the gifts. We don’t need them.”

Hence, Cayden took the lead to push the door and entered.

Jordan followed closely behind.

The VIP ward was spacious and well-equipped. It was morning, and the curtains were open, so the rays of sunlight shone in through the window, providing ample light for the room.

When Cayden and Jordan entered, Hailey sat by the bed and played with the twins lying in their crib.

Seeing that the two of them had entered, Hailey immediately said with a smile, “My dear babies, Daddy is here to see you.”

‘Daddy!’

Jordan had a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart when he heard those words.

Once again, it was that somewhat surreal feeling!

‘Am I already a father now?’

He walked over gleefully, only to find that Cayden was a step ahead of him and had already reached Hailey and the babies.

After Cayden went over, Hailey continued to say to the newborns, “My dear babies, look at Daddy. Do you miss Daddy?”

Jordan was overwhelmed with disappointment, and his spirits were dampened. Hailey wasn’t referring to him but Cayden!

“Atrocious!”

Jordan was so jealous that he walked over and pushed Cayden to the ground. He said, “I’m their father!”

Hailey chided Jordan resentfully, “What are you doing? What if you scare them?”

However, the newborns, who were only a week old, didn’t cry or get scared when they saw Jordan pushing Cayden, as well as the furious expression on Jordan’s face.

They looked straight at Jordan with warmth in their eyes!

In an instant, Jordan suddenly felt that the look in his eyes was very familiar because it seemed that the daughter of that mysterious woman at the café had also looked at him in a similar manner.

When he saw the look in their eyes, Jordan’s heart immediately softened.

A smile graced his face immediately, and he looked at the infants. “Babies… Daddy has come to see you.”

Now, it was Cayden, who had fallen to the ground, who was displeased!

Cayden got up from the ground and said, “I think we need to talk about the matter of the children’s father!”

Of course, Jordan was willing to talk to him because that was precisely what he was here for!

Cayden locked the door of the room from the inside to prevent others from entering. He then walked over and said, “My grandfather really likes them, and he has already named them.”

“The girl will be named Leah, and the boy will be named Luke.”

Jordan looked at the two little infants and muttered, “Leah Steele and Luke Steele. Not bad. I like these names.”

Cayden was so enraged that he wanted to slam his hand against the table. “What do you mean Leah Steele and Luke Steele!?! It should be Leah Huxley and Luke Huxley!”

On the other hand, Hailey chimed in, “Leah Camden and Luke Camden sound better!”

All three of them were fighting over the children’s last names!

Cayden said to Hailey, “Hailey, you’re now my wife, and we’re a prestigious family. It really doesn’t seem appropriate for our children to take their mother’s last name. We’d better stick to Huxley.”

Hailey felt that Cayden did not love her enough. Since he wasn’t the biological father of her children, they might not inherit the Huxleys’ assets in the future, so she wanted the children to take her last name.

Hailey compromised and said, “The boy can take your last name, but the girl has to take mine. Moreover, you have to make sure that the boy can be entitled to a share of the inheritance!”

Cayden said, “Yes, the boy shall take the last name Huxley while the girl shall take the last name Cayden.”

Hailey nodded and agreed, “Okay.”

‘Okay, my foot!’ Jordan thought.

He was so furious that he felt an urge to flip the table. If not for the two babies, he would have lost his temper and hit the roof!

Jordan said furiously, “I’m the father of the children. If they take your last names respectively, what about me?”

Hailey was completely dismissive of Jordan, and she said disdainfully, “Jordan, don’t forget, you were my live-in husband and you can ask around, which live-in husband is fit to have their children take on their last name? The children of live-in husbands all take the last name of their mothers.”

Cayden laughed and chimed in from the side, “That’s right, that’s right.”

Jordan said angrily, “I was married to you for three years as your live-in husband, and if we had children from the time we got married, I’d have no objections to them taking your last name!”

“But you never allowed me to get intimate with you in those three years, and we didn’t have any kids.”

“We both really wanted children only when I revealed myself to be a Steele. At that time, all the household expenses, including the car, house, and your families’ needs, were taken care of by me! I had provided for you guys!”

“At that time, I was no longer your live-in husband! So, of course, I’d have the right to make them take my last name!”

Jordan knew that if he didn’t hide his identity, Hailey wouldn’t be arguing with him about the children’s last names.

Hailey decided to let her kids take her last name only because she thought Jordan was penniless now.

Hailey said, “Yes, you have every right to make that request, but we’re divorced now, and we have our respective partners. If the babies take your last name, how are we supposed to explain that they don’t have the same last names as us when we bring them out or enroll them in school in the future? What if others ask about it? How awkward would that be for them?”

“You don’t have to worry about that problem!” Jordan said.

Reason being the children won’t even attend school like regular kids. Instead, they will receive professional training from the Steeles!

Cayden said condescendingly, “Jordan, what’s the point of letting the children take your surname? Are they going to inherit the billions of dollars worth of assets belonging to the Steeles or what ?”

“If they take my last name, I can guarantee that they will live in the lap of luxury for the rest of their lives!”

Hailey was enticed and tempted after hearing that. “Look how magnanimous Cayden is. He’s willing to raise your children and even give your son his assets! You should be thanking him!”

Jordan humphed coldly and thought, ‘Will Cayden really be willing to give his assets to my son?’

Jordan didn’t believe he would be so nice!

Only the silly woman Hailey would believe him!

Jordan couldn’t outargue them. After a momentary pause, he said, “At the end of the day, we still can’t reach a consensus on this matter.”

“There’s another reason that I’m here today. It won’t be too late to talk about the matter regarding their last name after I’m done with this.”

Hailey looked at Jordan and asked, “What is it?”

Jordan glanced at the infants and said, “I want to do a paternity test with the children.”

“No!” Hailey refuted immediately!

Hailey held the infant’s hands heartbrokenly and said, “Jordan, you’re so cruel. The babies have just been born and want to draw their blood and pull their hair. I won’t let you hurt my children!”

Feeling helpless, Jordan explained, “There is no need to draw blood or pull out their hair. We just need to do an oral swab by rubbing their inner cheeks a few times with a cotton swab to collect their samples.”

“No! That sounds terrifying to me! I will never let you do a paternity test! You don’t deserve to do a paternity test with them either!” Hailey once again refuted vehemently.

Chapter 249: The Children Are Not Yours!

Jordan and Hailey argued endlessly.

Standing at the side, Cayden looked like he was watching a good show.

Cayden laughed and said, “Jordan, why do you insist on doing the paternity tests with the children? Do you suspect that Hailey slept with another man when she was trying for a baby with you?”

Cayden knew for a fact that the children didn’t belong to him anyway, so he didn’t have to run a maternity test.

Hailey took advantage of it and looked at Jordan as she asked, “Yeah, Jordan, what do you mean by forcing the children to undergo paternity tests? Aren’t you blatantly suspecting that I had slept with another man?”

“Jordan, you’re such a jerk. I loved you so much at that time, and I wanted to see you every waking minute of my life. I wanted to text you all the time and stayed in your villa every single day. Yet, you’re suspecting me of having cheated on you?”

Jordan was at a loss for words. He knew that Hailey was rather nice to him at that time and didn’t show any signs of cheating.

Jordan said, “No, I’m not suspecting you. This is just one of our family’s rules. I can’t help it either.”

Hailey sneered. “Haha, what rules of your family? You’ve long been expelled by the Steeles, and you’re still mentioning the rules set by them?”

“The Steeles require their descendants to take the paternity test because they’re going to give them billions of dollars worth of assets after the test!”

“What’s the point of you doing the paternity test? Even if the children are proven to be yours, do you have a property to leave to them?”

“All your money comes from Victoria. Victoria won’t give the money she earned to my children!”

Jordan didn’t want to explain anything to Hailey. Instead, he said, “You don’t have to worry about whether I have any assets to be given to the children. As long as they’re mine, I won’t mistreat them!”

“The children aren’t yours!” Hailey suddenly said.

At this moment, even Cayden was taken aback.

He was overjoyed and proceeded to peel a banana to munch on while watching the drama unfold.

Jordan was shocked to hear those words that he had sometimes had nightmares about during Hailey’s pregnancy!

Breathing heavily, Jordan looked at Hailey and asked, “What… what did you say?”

Hailey said with an arrogant look on her face, “I said, the children aren’t yours!”

“Who do they belong to then!?!” Jordan exclaimed loudly.

Hailey, however, was not afraid of Jordan and said to him with a straight face, “Tyler Collins!”

Jordan and Cayden were both astounded to hear that answer.

After the shock, Cayden was delighted, and he said, “It turns out the children belong to my cousin. Haha, that’s exciting, huh? My cousin, who doesn’t look like much but is a person who can do great things, kept such a huge matter from me.”

“That said, I haven’t contacted him for a long time, and I don’t know where he’s been for the last six months.”

“When I have time, I have to give him a call and tell him that I’ll be raising his children. Haha, we’re relatives after all.”

At this moment, Jordan was rather agitated!

“Tyler Collins? The children are fathered by him?

Jordan kept recalling the image of Hailey and Tyler being in the hotel room and the video that Tyler had secretly taken.

“Does it mean that Hailey was already pregnant at that time?”

“Does it mean that Tyler secretly came to Orlando to see her when she was trying for a baby with me?”

Recalling how happy Tyler had made Hailey in the past, Jordan reckoned that it wasn’t impossible for her to accept Tyler again!

If it wasn’t for the two babies, he would have given Hailey two slaps on the face right now!

Jordan, who had never hit a woman before, couldn’t stand how shameless Hailey was!

However, Jordan was already a mature man who knew that Hailey was a chronic liar, so he couldn’t trust her words.

Jordan exclaimed, “I don’t believe it! When we were trying for a baby, Tyler Collins went to New York City. He definitely didn’t dare to come back!”

“I want to do a paternity test! It’s not enough for you to say that the children aren’t mine. I have to personally verify it for myself!”

As Jordan spoke, he was about to carry the babies.

Hailey stopped Jordan with all her might. “Don’t touch my kids! You’re not fit to do a paternity test with the children!”

“If you were still the grandson of the Steeles now, I wouldn’t stop you, but you’re just a freeloading good-for-nothing now. Who are you to demand that we do a paternity test?”

“Even if the children are yours, I don’t need you to fork out a single cent because I can raise them myself!”

“Anyway, the kids have nothing to do with you. Get out of here. I don’t want to see you again!”

Hailey was so emotional that the children started crying too.

Seeing this, Cayden also stood in front of Jordan and said, “Jordan, you should go. You scared the babies as soon as you came.”

“Is it really that important whether the children belong to you or not? You have Victoria now, and it’s a good thing for you if you’re childless. Do you actually expect Victoria to help you raise your kids?”

Hearing the babies crying, Jordan’s heart ached!

He didn’t want to continue arguing with Hailey here as he wanted them to stop crying.

Hence, Jordan turned around and left, but before he did, he told the two of them, “I will definitely get the paternity tests done.”

As soon as he headed downstairs after coming out of the hospital, he got a call from Butler Frank.

“Hello.”

“Mr. Jordan, Mr. Steele Senior would like to know the result of the paternity test of your twins.

“I haven’t done it yet.”

“You haven’t? Did you encounter any trouble? Do you need my help?”

“No!”

Jordan quickly turned down Frank’s help because he knew that once his family intervened, they would do whatever they could to achieve their goal.

The children were inseparable from Hailey now, and if they had to be forcibly taken away for a paternity test, Jordan could do it himself without Frank’s help.

However, Jordan didn’t want to do that and treated it as his last resort.

At this moment, Victoria called too.

Jordan hurriedly said, “I’ll handle this matter myself. I’ll hang up now.”

Jordan ended the call with Frank and then answered Victoria’s call.

“Jordan, how did the talk with Hailey go?”

Victoria asked, knowing that Jordan would be going to the hospital today for the paternity test.

As Jordan’s current girlfriend, she was also very concerned about this matter.

Jordan said, “She said the children aren’t fathered by me but Tyler Collins.”

“What?” Victoria was stunned on the other end. “No way? Could she be just trying to spite you on purpose?”

“Beats me,” Jordan said.

Victoria said, “Okay, don’t panic yet. I’ll make a trip to the hospital now, let me talk to her. It’ll be easier for me to communicate with her since I’m a woman too. You two must have argued again, and in such circumstances, nothing positive will come out of your discussion.”

“Yes.” Jordan nodded, knowing that Victoria was good at communications.

Perhaps, Victoria would help him solve the problem.

Jordan went to the smoking area of the hospital and smoked a cigarette despondently. He secretly thought, ‘I thought that once Hailey gives birth, I wouldn’t need to worry, but I didn’t think this to be the beginning of my troubles.”

“Are the children… mine or not?”

Chapter 250: Restoring His Identity As The Scion of The Steele Family!

There had always been all sorts of people of all walks of life in the smoking area of the hospital.

While Jordan was smoking and waiting for Victoria, several middle-aged men took the initiative to strike a conversation with him. Their wives had all just given birth.

However, they were all brimming with the joy of being a father for the first time and 100% certain that they were the biological fathers of their children without having done a paternity test.

Indeed, such a dramatic event wouldn’t happen to ordinary people.

When one marries a beautiful woman like Hailey, who attracts countless suitors, one is destined to experience the corresponding misery.

Soon, Victoria arrived at the hospital. She headed to the smoking area to meet up with Jordan and asked him to wait for her there while she went to see Hailey alone.

Like Jordan, Victoria also bought a fruit basket and some health supplements to Hailey’s VIP ward.

There were two guards outside the ward, and although they were no longer the same ones as before, they were just as challenging to deal with.

“Name and workplace,” one of the guards said indifferently while staring at Victoria’s superb figure.

Victoria responded confidently with great dignity, “Victoria Clarke, president of Perry Express!”

The two guards were astonished!

“President… president of Perry Express? Miss… Miss Clarke?”

The president of Perry Express was on the same level as their boss, Arthur Huxley, and the reputation and stock prices of Perry Express had now far surpassed Breezy Express!

The guards frantically bent forward respectfully and answered, “Please come in, Miss Clarke…”

Victoria carried her things with her and walked in.

“Hey, Victoria is here!”

Upon sight of Victoria, Cayden hurriedly went over to greet her. “Victoria, it’s so thoughtful of you to take the time out of your schedule to come to visit my wife. You’ve even brought gifts with you. The fruit looks delicious. Bring them to me.’

Victoria handed the fruit basket and health supplements to Cayden before walking towards Hailey.

“Victoria.” Hailey also greeted Victoria cordially and obediently.

“Hailey,” Victoria called out affectionately.

Hailey’s pretentiousness and ability to converse hypocritically were several notches below Victoria’s.

“Hailey, how’s your body recovering?” Victoria asked, showing Hailey some concern.

Hailey said with a smile, “Much better. Thank you for your concern.”

Victoria took a look at the pair of twins and remarked gleefully, “The babies are gorgeous. They’re going to grow up to be really good-looking.”

Hailey was also extremely confident in her children’s looks.

After chatting for a while, Victoria said, “Actually, I came here to visit you and the children and also to ask you to do me a favor.”

“What is it?” Hailey asked.

Victoria said, “Can you get the children and Jordan to do a paternity test?”

Only then did Hailey learn that Victoria was here for Jordan.

Hailey’s expression changed. “No!”

Victoria didn’t expect Hailey to be so determined, and she said, “Hailey, are you adamant about it because you think the kids are still too young? We can wait a few more days or even a week or two.”

“Give us a date so that Jordan can have something to look forward to.”

However, Hailey refuted with determination, “I won’t let the children do a paternity test with Jordan, ever!”

“Why?” Victoria asked

Hailey said straightforwardly, “Because there is no point in doing that! Even if the children are proven to be his, so what? Can they inherit the Steeles’ assets?”

“At the end of the day, Cayden and I will still have to raise them.”

Victoria thought about it and said, “How about this? If it turns out that are fathered by Jordan, I’m willing to pay you 15 million in alimony on his behalf.”

15 million dollars!

Hailey and Cayden both froze in shock. ‘Victoria’s girlfriend is too generous, huh?’

The children had nothing to do with Victoria at all. Other women would try to keep their boyfriends from giving money to their ex-wives’ children.

Yet, Victoria was helping Jordan pay his ex-wife and children alimony!

Hailey immediately felt ashamed and guilty. She exclaimed, “A woman is actually willing to spend 15 million dollars on Jordan!”

As Jordan’s ex-wife, she was displeased and immediately refuted when she saw Victoria undermining her with money.

“No way! I have 15 million dollars too! I don’t need your money!”

The Camdens were not what they used to be. If they first met in the past, 15 million dollars would still be considered an enormous sum to Hailey.

After all, Hailey had slept with Tyler just to get him to invest a few million dollars.

However, 15 million dollars no longer meant much to Hailey now.

“Okay, then, if you change your mind later, call me again. The promise of 15 million dollars will stand at any time. I won’t disturb you from resting now.”

Seeing how resolute Hailey was, Victoria didn’t waste her breath any longer.

Victoria headed back to the smoking area downstairs and shook her head at Jordan when she saw him.

“She has been dead against getting a paternity test done but don’t worry, I’ll find time to come back and talk to her again.”

Victoria comforted Jordan.

Jordan shook his head and said, “It’s alright, Victoria, just go ahead and focus on your work. Stay out of this matter. I have my own solution.”

Jordan felt his heartache for Victoria because this matter had nothing to do with her. He couldn’t bear to see her getting vexed about the issues between him and his ex-wife.

Jordan sent Victoria to work and then called Frank again.

“Do you have any orders for me, Mr. Jordan?”

Frank seemed to sense that Jordan was going to hand him a major task!

Jordan said, “I want to acquire Speedy Express, Omni Express, 365 Express, Daily Express, and the other top courier companies in the country other than Perry Express and Breezy Express!”

“I also want to acquire the three major takeout companies like Uber and the others!”

Frank was so shocked that he exclaimed on the other end of the line!

The acquisition of so many companies would probably require several dozens of billions of dollars!

Frank asked, “Mr. Jordan, are you… going to make Victoria Clarke the president of these companies again?”

Jordan said, “No, I’m going to be the president!”

“I’m going to set up a group of companies that belong to me, just like I did in Orlando. I want to dominate New York City and become the richest man in the country!”

Frank swallowed his saliva agitatedly. “Yes!”

After hanging up the phone, Jordan closed his eyes and lifted his head to look up at the sky!

He had tried it before!

He had tried treating everyone with sincerity as a penniless man!

However, Cayden and Russell looked down on him and despised him!

The Camdens abandoned him!

Hailey even felt that Jordan was not worthy of a paternity test!

It was solely because she thought that Jordan was no longer one of the Steeles!

The only one he really wanted to keep by his side was Victoria!

‘If that’s the case, then I won’t hide anymore. I won’t care about your feelings anymore!’

‘I’m a scion who’s worth dozens of billions of dollars!”

‘I’m the richest man in the country!’
