The Abandoned Husband Dominates Ch 91-95

Chapter 91: Meeting Grandaunt Lily!

Hailey was at a loss for words, finally realizing that it seemed inappropriate to drink Champagne on such an occasion.

 

Champagne was usually drunk during celebratory events like weddings or when one’s favorite sports team has won a championship.

 

Who would pop champagne when a relative is on her deathbed?

 

Hailey silently put away the champagne and said, “Hubby, can I connect my cell phone to the Bluetooth speaker of the car? I want to play a song in my playlist.”

 

Hailey and Jordan had slightly different tastes in music. The trip this time would take close to two hours, and it’d be agonizing for her if they kept playing songs she disliked.

 

Jordan would never force others to listen to the songs he liked. Hence, he allowed Hailey to connect her phone to the Bluetooth player and play her preferred songs.

 

To his surprise, the first song that Hailey played after connecting her phone to the Bluetooth player of the car was ‘A Thousand Reasons to be Sad’!

 

The familiar piano prelude instantly reminded both of them of the concert the other day.

 

Hailey took the initiative to hold Jordan’s hand and said, “Hubby, you know what? I was mesmerized by you when you went up on stage to perform this song on the piano while singing along at the concert the other day. Not only did you hide your identity from me, you even kept it from me that you could play the piano. Why did you do that?”

 

“If I knew you played the piano so well, I would love you even more!”

 

Jordan didn’t push Hailey’s hand away. After all, her hand was quite comfortable to touch. Besides, she was the one who had held his hand first, not the other way around. Hence, it didn’t mean that he wanted to get back together with her.

 

Jordan said, “So what if you’d love me more? It’s just some piano-playing skills. They’re not going to help you increase the status of your family. You would have still gotten into an affair with Tyler.”

 

“Hailey, since I caught you and Tyler in the hotel room, I’ve already lost all feelings for you!”

 

The car was traveling at a speed of 60km/h. The roof and windows in the back were all tightly closed, and their conversation could not be heard or seen from the front.

 

Hailey continued to hold his hand. “If you lost all feelings for me, why did you tear up?”

 

Jordan was instantly shocked because he knew that Hailey was referring to the fact that he had teared up because of her at the concert and a song called ‘If You Don’t Have Anymore Feelings’.

 

Jordan looked at Hailey in surprise and said, “I’ve only played that song once. How did you…”

 

Jordan and Hailey had been married for three years. If it was a song that Jordan often played, it wouldn’t be strange for her to know about it.

 

However, Jordan remembered that he had only played that song once.

 

Hailey took out her cell phone and opened the Spotify app. She then showed Jordan the list of “liked songs”.

 

“I’ve downloaded all the songs that you listened to in the past three years. Suppose I’m a materialistic and promiscuous woman who doesn’t love you and despises you because of your family background. Why would I have done that!?!”

 

Jordan looked at Hailey’s cell phone screen in astonishment.

 

‘If You Don’t Have Anymore Feelings’, ‘Perfect Summer’, ‘The Scientist’…

 

They were all of Jordan’s favorite songs.

 

At this moment, Hailey lay in Jordan’s arms and pleaded, “Hubby, I know I’ve hurt you. You can beat and scold me all you want but don’t give me the cold shoulder or leave me.”

 

Music really has the ability to affect a person’s mood.

 

Listening to the song ‘A Thousand Reasons To Be Sad’, Jordan recalled the night when Tyler proposed to Hailey. At that time, he wished that he could go forward, tell Hailey the truth and forgive her!

 

He knew that he still loved her and did not want her to marry another man at all.

 

Now that Hailey was lying in his arms, Jordan didn’t push her away.

1

‘Since we’re pretending to still be married, I’ll just take it that this is an act!’

 

The chauffeur wasn’t driving at a fast speed. The car was traveling at only about 110-120 km/h on the expressway.

 

They arrived at Lily’s home at 11:30 pm.

 

She was married into the Blaine family, which was considered quite a wealthy family in South Daytona. However, they were several notches below the Camdens.

 

Thus, when the Blaines learned that the Camdens were coming, they waited at the entrance to welcome them.

 

Jordan, Hailey, Diana, and the others alighted from their respective cars almost simultaneously.

 

However, Lily’s eldest son, Devon, was the first to approach Jordan.

 

He took the initiative to extend his hands and said, “Mr. Steele, it’s very thoughtful of you to come here.”

 

Jordan was a little surprised. Even if he and Hailey were still married, he should still be known as a live-in husband.

 

Logically speaking, Devon should have greeted Diana first.

 

Jordan decided to be polite to Devon on Lily’s account. “It’s only right for me to do so. Grandaunt Lily has always been so nice to Hailey and me. How is she now?”

 

Devon shook his head and sighed.

 

It seemed that she was really about to kick the bucket.

 

Jordan asked, “You should know Hailey and I are divorced, right?”

 

Jordan guessed that since Devon was aware that he was the president of the Ace Corporation, he should also know about his divorce from Hailey.

 

After all, what happened between them had become a hot topic in Orlando’s business circles.

 

The news had spread to South Daytona, which wasn’t far from Orlando.

 

Devon nodded and said, “I’m the only one in my family who knows. Neither my siblings nor my mother are aware.”

 

“So, when you see my mother later, I hope you won’t mention the divorce and just behave affectionately with Hailey later. I hope she won’t hear such bad news before she passes.”

 

Lily naturally knew about it a long time ago. Still, Devon decided to play along with the plan because he knew that Hailey and Jordan would pretend to still be married to lie to Lily.

 

Later, he would also arrange for Jordan and Hailey to stay in the same room!

 

Jordan assured, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”

 

After a brief greeting, Jordan and the others proceeded to go see Lily without further ado.

 

Lily had been hospitalized for a long time, and the Blaines decided to give up on treatment and take her home instead.

 

Jordan felt his heart wrench up in misery when he saw Lily lying quietly in bed, waiting for her life to come to an end.

 

Hailey was tearing up incessantly in Jordan’s arms.

 

Perhaps because of the sounds of Hailey’s sobbing, Lily slowly opened her eyes and said feebly, “Is Hailey here?”

 

Hailey immediately knelt in front of the bed and held her hand. “Yes, Grandaunt Lily, Jordan, and I are here to see you!”

 

“Jordan… Jordan Steele?”

 

Hearing Jordan’s name, Grandaunt Lily immediately perked up. She turned to look at Jordan as if she was experiencing terminal lucidity before her death.

 

“Grandaunt Lily.”

 

Jordan also hurriedly walked to the bed and held her hand.

 

Lily grinned elatedly. Seeing how haggard she was, Jordan felt distressed.

 

“Jordan, I never thought I would get to see you again before I die.”

 

Feeling melancholic, Jordan comforted, “You’ll be fine. I will hire the best doctor in the world to cure you.”

 

Lily patted Jordan’s hand happily and asked, “Jordan, Hailey, how are you two doing?”

 

As the only Camden who was aware of the secret, her greatest, final wish before her death was to see Hailey securing her marriage to the ultrrich scion, Jordan.

 

Hailey held Jordan’s hand and said, “Grandaunt Lily, we’re doing well, and we’ve been planning to have a baby recently!”

Chapter 92: You’re The Only One I Call Hubby!

 

As Hailey said that, Jordan pretended to be in a loving marriage with Hailey too.

 

“Oh, alright.”

 

Lily assented incessantly with a smile.

 

Hailey continued, “Grandaunt Lily, I have another piece of good news for you. Jordan doesn’t come from an ordinary family but a prestigious one! They are worth hundreds of billions! He’s now the president of a corporation too!”

 

At this point, Jordan stared at Lily’s facial expression in a bid to see if she would be shocked.

 

Lily smiled even more radiantly, but she didn’t seem particularly shocked.

 

Instead, she said repeatedly, “Great! Great! That’s wonderful!”

 

Lily said, “My children are all doing well… Ahem… The only one I’ve been worried about…”

 

Lily coughed a few times and drank some water before continuing to speak.

 

“Hailey has been worrying me the most. You must get along well with Jordan, or else… I won’t be able to face my brother when I meet him in heaven…”

 

Although Lily didn’t reveal that she had long known about Jordan’s identity, Jordan could vaguely sense that she was aware of the truth.

 

They stopped talking to Lily because it was difficult for her to speak.

 

In fact, it was good enough that they could meet one last time before she passed.

 

It was already late at night. When they left Lily’s room, Devon asked, “Mr. Steele, Hailey, are you two going to stay here or at a hotel? I’ve arranged a room for you in both places.”

 

Lily lived in a large bungalow with several guest houses.

 

Jordan pointed in the direction of Lily’s room and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

 

Devon said with a sad expression, “She might go tonight or tomorrow.”

 

Many elderly people would pass away at midnight. Since Jordan was already there, it would be pointless to stay in a hotel.

 

“We’ll impose on you guys for a night,” Jordan said.

 

Devon said, “Please don’t say that, Mr. Steele. It’s our honor that you’re willing to stay here. Please come with me. I’ll show you to your room.”

 

They walked out of the room and walked across the lawn to go to the other side where the guest rooms were.

The buildings around them were elegant and pleasing to the eye with light-colored walls and tiles.

 

When they arrived in the guest room, Jordan found that he liked the decor of it.

 

Devon said, “My mom is very frugal, and she doesn’t like trendy, high-tech things. Mr. Steele, Hailey, I hope you won’t mind the simple furnishings of the room.”

 

Hailey said, “Uncle Devon, you’re too kind. Why would we mind it?”

 

Jordan said, “Yeah, you’re too polite. I should be feeling sorry for imposing on you by staying here as an outsider.”

 

“Um, is this the only room available?”

 

It was already 12 midnight, and Jordan was indeed a little sleepy. However, he couldn’t guarantee what might happen if he spent the night in the same room as Hailey.

 

After all, Hailey was a gorgeous woman who had an excellent figure too. Jordan, who has been married to her for three years and in love with her, had always wanted to get intimate with her.

 

It was common for divorced couples to sleep with each other again after meeting each other frequently due to their children or other reasons.

 

Devon said awkwardly, “We have quite a few visitors this time, so all the other rooms are occupied. This is the only vacant one left, my apologies.”

 

Hailey hurriedly said, “It’s alright, Uncle Devon, go ahead and carry on with what you have to do. We’ll just sit here and get some rest.”

 

“Alright, get some rest. I’ll take my leave now.”

 

Jordan waved him goodbye and said, “If anything happens to Grandaunt Lily, please inform us.”

 

“I will!”

 

After Devon left, Jordan picked up a pillow from under the bed and took out a large, furry carpet from the cupboard, which he laid on the ground.

 

“Jordan, what are you doing?”

 

Hailey asked.

 

Jordan said, “I’m going to sleep on the ground tonight. Haven’t I been sleeping on the ground whenever we had to share a room in the past?”

 

In the past three years, Jordan and Hailey would occasionally go on a vacation together. However, Hailey would never take him along if she was going overseas.

 

If it was a road trip within the country, Hailey would bring Jordan along to be in charge of driving.

 

Hailey wouldn’t opt for standard rooms whenever they stayed in hotels because she felt that the beds were too small. Besides, it would be strange for a married couple to check into a standard single room and even more bizarre if they booked two rooms.

 

They would usually book a deluxe room with a large queen-sized bed which Hailey would sleep on while Jordan slept on the ground.

The skillful way that Jordan was laying the carpet on the ground made Hailey feel some heartache.

 

Hailey sat on the carpet and said, “Jordan, don’t sleep on the floor tonight. Do you still not trust me?”

 

During the two-hour journey just now, Hailey had been playing Jordan’s favorite songs in the car.

 

Hailey was not only aware of Jordan’s favorite songs. She could also name each and every type of food he liked.

 

Jordan was touched.

 

It proved that he hadn’t loved Hailey one-sidedly in the past three years and that she fancied him too.

 

She just never expressed her feelings for him.

 

Hailey kept telling Jordan that she was innocent, and Rosie swore that Hailey and Tyler hadn’t done the deed.

 

At this point, Jordan began to wonder if it was true that Hailey really hadn’t slept with Tyler.

 

Jordan said, “Even if you and Tyler Collins didn’t get the chance to do the deed in the hotel the other day, you must have at least kissed each other, right? You must have addressed each other affectionately and exchanged lots of sweet nothings, haven’t you?”

 

Hailey frantically answered, “No! We never kissed! The furthest we’ve gone is holding hands! You can look at our wedding photos, none of them are of us kissing each other. The photographer kept urging us to take some shots of us kissing, but I refused!”

 

“I’ve never called him Hubby either! He kept asking me to, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it because I kept thinking about you! You’re the only one I can say that to…”

 

“Hubby, do you know how much I love you? Do you know how much pain I was in during that period?”

 

As Hailey spoke, she had already begun tearing up.

 

Jordan had seen their wedding photos, and there indeed wasn’t any shot of them kissing.

 

All of a sudden, Jordan began to wonder if Hailey really loved him that much.

 

‘Otherwise, why hasn’t she kissed Tyler yet?’

 

Jordan took out a piece of tissue paper and wiped Hailey’s tears with it. “Hailey, it’s too late to say this now.”

 

“If you had explained everything to me clearly and apologized to me the night I ran into you, perhaps, I wouldn’t have been so insistent on getting a divorce.”

 

“However, you were so self-righteous and even made me kneel down and beg you on the day of your grandmother’s birthday banquet. How can I not be mad at you?”

 

Hailey pleaded tearfully, “I know I was wrong. Hubby, please give me another chance, okay?”

 

Jordan sighed. ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater, they say.’

Even if Hailey still loved Jordan, there was no way he could guarantee that she wouldn’t be unfaithful to him again!

Chapter 93: Finding Out The Truth!

Jordan would not forgive Hailey even though he still had feelings for her now.

 

Jordan had met many beautiful girls after he got a divorce, such as Victoria, the beautiful deputy president of the corporation, and Ashley, the sexy secretary.

 

He had even met Elle, the young and energetic girl who had a great figure.

 

Given Jordan’s current status, it would be a piece of cake for him to get a girlfriend.

 

However, he did not fancy any of them.

 

However, even if he hadn’t gotten over Hailey yet and she didn’t physically cheat on him, Jordan didn’t want to get back with her.

Meanwhile, Diana was having a conversation with Lily alone in her room.

 

It was late at night and extremely quiet. The two elderly ladies, whose ages added up to almost 200 years old, spoke very softly.

 

Diana held Lily’s hand and said with a sorrowful expression, “Lily, since you knew of Jordan’s identity long ago, why didn’t you tell me?”

 

Lily said, “Diana, my brother… instructed me not to tell you guys about this… I’m sorry.”

 

Diana sighed and said, “Lily, I’ll tell you the truth, but you have to hang in there.”

 

Lily’s life was now in critical danger, and she could barely open her eyes, so she definitely wouldn’t be able to take the blow.

 

If Diana told her the truth, she would very likely kick the bucket.

 

However, Diana still wanted to tell her the truth because she had been blaming Lily for hiding the truth from her. Otherwise, the Camdens wouldn’t have let go of such a wealthy son-in-law like Jordan.

 

Diana said, “I’ll tell you the truth, Hailey cheated on Jordan, and the two of them have gotten a divorce!”

 

After saying that, Diana was worried that her words might cause Lily to die of agitation.

 

However, to Diana’s surprise, Lily didn’t have much reaction because she had already learned of the divorce a long time ago.

 

Diana continued sorrowfully, “That’s not all. After divorcing Jordan, Hailey married the man she cheated on Jordan with but now, she has divorced that man too! She’s now a twice-divorced woman!”

 

“Some people say that the value of a woman decreases with each divorce she gets. No matter how pretty Hailey may be, I’m afraid no rich scion would want to marry her in the future.”

 

Diana was already in tears, but Lily still didn’t react at all.

 

Lily even comforted Diana instead. “Diana, don’t be too upset…”

 

Diana was dumbfounded. ‘How can a dying person be able to take such a huge emotional blow?’

 

Lily even smiled, which made Diana panic!

 

Lily said smilingly, “Diana, it’s alright, Hailey and Jordan… can’t get a divorce.”

 

Diana asked with bewilderment, “What do you mean? Why can’t they get a divorce? I’ve already seen the divorce papers. They signed it at the lawyer’s office. How can it be fake!?!”

 

Lily nodded and said, “Yes, the divorce wasn’t valid.”

 

Diana asked in shock, “Could it be…”

 

At this moment, she could already vaguely guess the truth.

 

Lily said, “I’m sure you know how careful my brother is. Before he left, he didn’t… tell you the truth. He… he had already made arrangements before he passed.”

 

Seeing how difficult it was for Lily to speak, Diana decided to voice the conjecture she had in mind.

 

“Lily, did your brother guess that Hailey and Jordan would get a divorce a long time ago? So he arranged for the lawyers to nullify Hailey’s and Jordan’s divorce papers… is that so?”

 

Lily nodded and said, “Yes, all the staff and lawyers working at the firm that Hailey went to have all been given instructions by my brother. It can’t be wrong.”

 

Diana was overjoyed. She hurriedly walked out of the room and yelled Benedict’s name.

 

Benedict was smoking outside the house. When he heard Diana’s call, he hurriedly snubbed his cigarette and walked over.

 

When the Blaines heard Lily’s call, they quickly ran over because they thought Diana had passed.

 

“Benedict, send someone to check Hailey’s current marital status! Find out if her legal spouse is still Jordan!”

 

Diana said with a look of excitement.

 

Benedict said, “Mom, are you muddled up? She’s even divorced from Tyler. How can her spouse be Jordan?”

 

Diana immediately slapped him and rebuked, “Good-for-nothing, just check on it!”

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

Benedict immediately took out his cell phone to check using the Internet since almost everything was available on the Internet these days.

 

However, he realized that he could only get Hailey’s official marriage record from the City Clerk office.

 

Hence, he had no choice but to call a friend and ask his friend to contact someone who worked in the City Clerk office.

 

After a full half an hour, Benedict received a call.

 

“I found it, Benedict. It states here that Hailey Camden is married to a spouse named Jordan Steele.”

 

Benedict was dumbfounded after hearing that!

 

‘How could this happen!’

 

Seeing how shocked Benedict was, Diana hurriedly asked, “How is it? Have you found the record yet?”

 

Benedict nodded and said, “Yes, it’s stated on the record that Hailey is still married!”

 

“Who’s the spouse? Tell me quickly!” Diana was extremely eager.

 

Benedict said, “Jordan…”

 

Diana looked up and exclaimed in exhilaration, “Haha, old man! You had great foresight! You’ve saved the Camdens!”

 

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

 

Sylvie was startled by Diana’s voice and walked over as well.

 

After Benedict told Sylvie what had just happened, Sylvie also yelled hysterically in the courtyard.

 

Diana said excitedly, “Quickly, get Jordan and Hailey to come to Lily’s room.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Sylvie dashed to Hailey and Jordan’s room and pulled them up without hesitation. She then dragged them to Lily’s room.

 

Jordan and Hailey thought that Lily had kicked the bucket, so they complied, but they were confused about why Sylvie was smiling.

 

‘Shouldn’t she be sad about Grandaunt Lily’s passing?’

 

When they reached Lily’s room, they realized that she was still alive.

 

Diana said gleefully, “Jordan, Hailey, you two are not divorced yet. The divorce papers you signed weren’t valid at all. They were actually void.”

 

“Similarly, Hailey and Tyler’s marriage certificate was fake too. There are no records in the public registry.”

 

Hailey couldn’t believe it at all. “Is that true? Grandma, does that mean that Jordan and I… are still legally married?”

 

All she wanted was to remarry Jordan!

 

It turned out she didn’t have to do anything at all!

 

Jordan was dumbfounded too!

 

Before he arrived, he had a vague sense that something was wrong, but he thought that since Lily knew the truth, it was impossible that she would do nothing about their divorce.

 

It turned out that they had already planted snitches in the lawyer’s office!

 

Jordan nonetheless called Butler Frank to further confirm the truth. “Butler Frank, please check my marriage status on the public records.”

Chapter 94: I’ll Give You A Second Chance!

 

Lily’s room was dimly lit, and Lily was lying on the bed, her eyelids half-closed as she was on the brink of death.

 

Diana was sitting next to her while the rest of the Camdens stood at the side.

 

All of them were waiting for Butler Frank’s answer.

 

They knew that Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation and the most influential figure in the business circle of Orlando. With his power and status, he could easily find out the truth.

 

Benedict and Sylvie were anxious and afraid that the information they found out from Benedict’s friend would be fake.

 

“God bless us, may the information that Benedict found out be true!”

 

Sylvie prayed incessantly.

 

Buzz…

 

Jordan’s Porsche design cell phone began to ring, and everyone held their breaths!

 

Jordan glanced at the phone screen, only to realize that it wasn’t a call from Butler Frank but a number he didn’t recognize.

 

“Hello,” Jordan answered the phone.

 

The caller said, “Hello, Mr. Jordan Steele, I’m the director of the City of Orlando City Clerk’s Office. My name is David Jay.”

 

“Hello, Mr. Jay,” Jordan greeted politely.

 

In response, David said, “I regret to inform you that your previous divorce with Miss Hailey Camden wasn’t recorded in the public marriage records system, and the divorce papers that you signed are invalid because they have not been filed officially.”

 

“Therefore, you and Miss Hailey Camden are still legally married.”

 

“Likewise, the marriage certificate that Miss Hailey Camden and Mr. Tyler Collins have received is also invalid, just like their divorce papers.”

 

“Mr. Steele, we have identified the employee who handled your divorce application, and she is now suspended. I will make her give you a detailed explanation and an apology tomorrow morning.”

 

“Mr. Steele and Miss Camden, if you’d like to file for divorce again, I can process it for you personally. I guarantee the same mistake won’t happen again.”

 

Jordan said indifferently, “I’ll talk to you about the divorce when I have the chance another day.”

 

Jordan felt that Hailey definitely wouldn’t be willing to divorce him now.

 

After hanging up, Hailey asked anxiously, “Jordan, what’s the outcome?”

 

Jordan said, “We are still legally married, and the divorce papers that we signed, as well as the certificate of your marriage to Tyler, are all null and void.”.

 

“Yay!” Hailey leaped up excitedly in Lily’s room.

 

All the Camdens except Elle were on cloud nine and had completely forgotten that there was an old lady on her deathbed right beside them.

 

“Jordan…”

 

At this moment, Lily called out to Jordan softly.

 

Jordan walked over while Lily held his hand and said, “I’m sorry… my brother…”

 

Jordan smiled and said, “It’s okay, Grandaunt Lily. I really admire Hailey’s grandfather for knowing ahead of time that the Camdens would definitely make me divorce Hailey because they’re a bunch of mercenary snobs. That’s why he made those arrangements.”

 

Jordan was definitely furious for having been deceived.

 

However, now that Lily was dying, Jordan couldn’t say anything too harsh in front of her. Hence, he could only take the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark and take a jab at the Camdens.

 

Lily said, “I don’t have much time left… I’ll be joining my brother soon… Before I pass, I’d like to make a request to you…”

 

Jordan was a little melancholic because he discovered that it was getting harder and harder for Lily to breathe.

 

“Please.”

 

Lily breathed slowly and said, “Don’t… don’t… divorce Hailey.”

Jordan was stunned!

 

He didn’t expect that to be Lily’s last wish!

 

At this moment, Hailey immediately got on her knees in front of Jordan, her eyes full of tears.

 

“Hubby, please give me another chance. I’ll definitely love you well, I promise, I will never get involved with another man again!”

 

Sylvie also pleaded, “Jordan, look how beautiful Hailey is. Besides, she’s still a virgin, and she’s been married to you for three years. Can you bear to see such a beautiful wife of yours marrying someone else?”

 

Because Sylvie understood the selfish nature of men, she said those words in order to make Jordan think that he would be shortchanging himself if he didn’t get back together with Hailey.

 

Feeling extremely complicated, Jordan insisted, “I’m sorry, Grandaunt Lily, I can agree to anything except this!”

 

The Camdens’ hearts immediately sank.

 

On the other hand, Lily got up from the bed and seemed to get down after seeing that Jordan was insistent on divorcing Hailey.

 

“Mom, what are you doing?” Devon, who was at the door, also quickly walked over.

 

Lily said, “Help me… get up from the bed.”

 

Devon said agitatedly, “Mom, you’re in critical condition… You can’t get up. I’m begging you, please just lie in bed!”

 

Lily had been on her deathbed for a long time and didn’t even have the strength to get up.

 

However, she still insisted on doing so. Not daring to disobey her, Devon had no choice but to help her get up the bed.

 

Lily looked at Jordan and got down on her knees, which was to the shock of everyone. “Please… give Hailey a second chance.”

 

“Grandaunt Lily!” Jordan quickly went forward and held Lily.

 

He did not expect Lily to kneel down and plead for Hailey moments before her death!

 

Seeing the way his mother was behaving, Devon knelt down in front of Jordan tearfully. “Mr. Steele,for the sake of my mother, who is in her seventies and about to leave us, please grant her a favor!”

 

It wasn’t easy to live to such an age!

 

Although Jordan was only in his twenties, he felt that life was thorny. He had gone through various trials and tribulations. Yet, Lily had lived for more than 70 years. God knows how much she had suffered in this life!

 

Besides, Lily had saved Jordan’s life before, so of course, he couldn’t bear to see her leave this world on her knees with regrets.

 

On the other hand, Hailey continued to kneel and plead tearfully, “Hubby, I really know my mistakes. Please, just forgive me.”

 

‘Maybe everything is God’s will.’

 

Jordan sighed, looked at Lily, and said, “Okay, I promise you that I’ll give her another chance.”

“As long as Hailey doesn’t initiate a divorce, I won’t.”

 

“Great… great…”

 

After saying that, Lily suddenly closed her eyes and left this world forever!

 

“Grandaunt Lily!”

 

“Lily!”

 

Hailey and Diana’s voices filled the air, and they knelt by the bed while wailing loudly. They were crying even more loudly than Lily’s children.

 

Jordan knew that they were probably crying tears of joy too!

 

The president of Ace Corporation, who’s also the scion of a billionaire family, was finally their son-in-law again!

Chapter 95: Coveting Hundreds of Billions In Assets!

Two days later, Jordan and the Camdens left South Daytona after helping out with the funeral and burial.

 

Jordan and Hailey were seated in the backseat of the limited edition Maybach Landaulet luxury car, holding hands and looking extremely gleeful.

 

Hailey asked affectionately, “Hubby, I’d like to invite a few of my former college classmates to our home for a celebration tonight. May I?”

 

Hailey naturally wouldn’t have to ask for Jordan’s opinion if they were going back to the large apartment in the New City residential estate.

 

Hailey was clearly referring to Jordan’s villa in Rose Garden.

 

Since they were married, Jordan’s home was naturally hers, she thought.

 

No longer disgusted by the way she addressed him, Jordan said, “Grandaunt Lily has just passed away. What’s there to celebrate?”

 

Hailey said, “To celebrate our marriage! Hmph!”

 

Hailey playfully punched Jordan.

Last night, Jordan and Hailey finally consummated their marriage of three years, which had been a bumpy ride full of ups and downs.

 

At first, Jordan didn’t intend to get intimate with Hailey, but she kept trying to turn him on.

 

Besides, Jordan had already promised Lily to give Hailey another chance.

 

Not getting to sleep with Hailey in the past three years had been one of Jordan’s greatest regrets. Being a human with sexual needs, he couldn’t help himself.

 

After last night, Jordan did verify that Hailey really did not sleep with Tyler before, which he was rather pleased about.

 

“Okay, you can invite your former classmates over if you want to.”

 

Jordan remembered that many of Hailey’s former college classmates were either city locals or citizens from other cities but continued staying in Orlando after graduating.

 

They were also a bunch of snobs who used to look down on Jordan. Hence, Jordan wanted to see the attitude they would have towards him tonight!

 

“Thank you, Hubby!”

 

Hailey pecked Jordan on the cheek affectionately.

 

Afterward, Hailey rested her head on Jordan’s shoulder again. She thought, ‘Hubby, I really want to go to that villa you bought in Phuket so badly!’

 

‘I also want to meet your grandparents, parents, brothers, and sisters.’

 

‘I want them all to know that I am your wife!’

 

Seven o’clock in the evening at Rose Garden villa.

 

Rachel, along with five or six girls in their early twenties, arrived at Jordan’s villa.

 

Upon entering, they praised the interior design and decor of the mansion, as well as the expensive furniture and ornaments they had never seen before.

 

“Hailey, your husband is so rich. I’ve never seen such an exquisite house!”

 

“Mr. Steele, you’re so compatible with Hailey. Both of you are good-looking and rich. When are you planning to have children?”

 

“Yes, yes, we can’t wait to attend your baby shower!”

 

Hearing the compliments of her former classmates, Hailey began to get conceited.

 

Hailey used to be embarrassed to bring Jordan out to meet her classmates because, knowing how mercenary they were, she knew they would definitely tease her about Jordan being a live-in husband.

 

Now that they had learned that Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation, they began to envy Hailey.

 

Hailey said, “Jordan and I are planning to have a baby recently. If we’re lucky, we should have a bun in the oven soon.”

 

One of them said, “Let me do the calculation for you. If you get pregnant this month, the baby will be born in February next year. Which horoscope sign would that be?”

 

Another classmate answered with a glass of wine in hand, “The baby can be an Aquarius or a Pisces. Hailey, do you hope for your baby to be an Aquarius or a Pisces?”

 

Another one of them teased with a chuckle, “As long as it’s Mr. Steele’s, it probably doesn’t matter what the baby’s horoscope sign is.”

 

“Hahaha, of course, it’s going to be Mr. Steele’s baby.”

 

The women started chatting over wine. After greeting them, Jordan left.

 

They were actually just Hailey’s platonic friends, and since they despised Jordan in the past, he did not need to entertain them.

 

Hailey’s purpose of inviting them over was just to show him off anyway.

 

She actually didn’t have many common topics to talk to them about. During college, they had actually secretly disliked Hailey because they were jealous of her beauty.

 

After learning that Hailey had married a good-for-nothing, they secretly mocked her countless times before.

 

After an hour or so of chatting, Rachel and Hailey came to the second floor to have some drinks while the rest stayed on the first floor to savor some famous wine that Jordan had brought home from abroad. They even took several photos and videos, which they then posted onto TikTok and Instagram.

 

Rachel stood in front of the parapet with a glass of wine in hand. Glancing at Hailey’s lowly former college classmates, Rachel Quinn chuckled contemptuously.

 

She then turned to ask Hailey, “Hailey, have you slept with Jordan?”

 

Hailey nodded in triumph.

 

Rachel continued, “Did he not suspect anything?”

 

Hailey answered, “Of course not!”

 

Rachel said, “That’s good. By the way, how are your assets divided now? Is it going to be according to the previous prenuptial agreement?”

 

Hailey and Jordan had previously signed a prenuptial agreement that stipulated that their individual assets were kept separate.

 

In that case, the villa, luxury cars, and company that Jordan owned had nothing to do with Hailey.

 

The Camdens made Jordan sign the prenuptial agreement because they were afraid he would take advantage of them. Still, to their surprise, it was the other way around!

 

The Steeles were afraid that the Camdens would take advantage!

 

Hailey said, “Yes, I asked Jordan, and he said that he has to go to England to see his grandfather, and once I gain his approval, he will include me as one of the inheritors.”

 

Rachel said urgently, “What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and go to England! What are you setting up this gathering for, dear? Which is more important? What’s most important now is not that you’re still married to Jordan, but the Steeles’ assets!”

 

Hailey didn’t drink because she was trying to get pregnant. Hence, she took a sip of water and said, “What’s the hurry? We’re trying to have a baby now, and since Jordan loves me so much, the Steeles will definitely accept me, don’t worry.”

 

Rachel said with a helpless expression, “You’re really confident, huh? Aren’t you scared that Tyler might look for Jordan and tell him about what you two did that day?”

 

Hailey sneered and said, “He can’t even save his own ass now. Tell the truth? Well, he won’t unless he has a death wish. Salvatore and Pablo Dalton are both my husband’s underlings!”

 

Rachel said worriedly, “I heard he went to New York to look for the Huxleys. The Huxleys are very powerful, and even if the Steeles have a high status, Jordan’s grandfather has already moved abroad. They’re definitely not as powerful as the Huxleys in this country.”

 

Hailey said nonchalantly, “Even though Rosie is a Huxley, her family hates the Collins, so they won’t care about Tyler. Don’t worry, I know more about the Collins and the Huxleys than you do. The Huxleys are not going to offend the Steeles for Tyler’s sake.”

 

Rachel didn’t say anything else either. She raised her wine glass and said, “Well, congratulations in advance then, you’re about to become a billionaire soon.”

 

“Thanks, honey. When I get my hands on the assets, I’ll give you a few million dollars to splurge on boy toys. Hahaha.”

 

Hailey raised her glass and clinked it against Rachel’s.
