The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 96-100

Chapter 96: Cayden Huxley Fancies Hailey Camden?

The Huxleys’ home in New York.

New York was the most developed city in the US.

In a top residential district in the city, the property price was close to $3,000 per square foot.

Tyler was kneeling on the ground and pleading with the Huxleys.

“Grandpa, please save the Collins!”

Facing an elderly man, Tyler swallowed his pride and got on his knees.

The old man was Rosie’s father, Arthur Huxley.

Arthur was the founder of Breezy Express, one of the country’s leading domestic courier companies.

Arthur was not alone in the house. His son, Dave, and Dave’s wife, Emily Wilden, were also present.

There were also Dave’s sons, Shane Huxley and Cayden Huxley, who were Tyler’s cousins.

The 25-year-old Shane had a mature and stable appearance, while 22-year-old Cayden was tall, slim, and suave.

Cayden gibed sneeringly, “Isn’t your father pretty impressive? Why are you asking us for help? I remember that he was really smug and arrogant when he came by to visit us after his company became listed a few years ago!”

Arthur said to Tyler, “Tyler, even if your mother comes begging me on her knees today, I won’t save Leonard Collins!”

“Back then, I had already made arrangements for Rosie’s marriage. If she had agreed back then, my business now… would have flourished even further!”

At that time, Rosie went against her family’s wishes and married Leonard, which made Arthur extremely infuriated.

All along, Arthur had never acknowledged Leonard as his son-in-law.

Tyler said, “Well, even if you don’t save my father, don’t you care about the pride of the Huxleys?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Arthur asked with his hands behind his back.

Emily was also curious as she looked at Tyler while drinking water from her teacup.

Tyler’s face suddenly turned red, and he felt extremely humiliated. “Do you guys know Jordan Steele?”

Cayden laughed and said, “Haha, yes, the young president of the Ace Corporation, who at most, only has millions in assets, right? I heard that you snatched his wife and ended up implicating your family, causing them to be in a pathetic plight. You’re such a good-for-nothing. You can’t even deal with such a small fry like him.”

Cayden completely disregarded Jordan, which was what Tyler hoped to see!

If even the Huxleys feared Jordan, he wouldn’t be able to take revenge!

Shane asked, “What does Jordan Steele have to do with our family’s pride and reputation?”

Suppressing his anger, Tyler said menacingly, “That beast Jordan Steele slept with my mother!”

Emily spat out the mouthful of water that she had just drunk.

Members of prestigious families were very particular about manners and etiquette, so she grabbed a piece of tissue paper and wiped her mouth with it before bending forward to dry the water.

While doing so, she asked, “Tyler, isn’t Jordan Steele your rival in love? He should be the same age as you, right? How did he end up sleeping with your mother?”

The Huxleys were visibly upset. No matter what, Rosie was still a Huxley, and she had always been a dignified and elegant lady who had never embarrassed the Huxleys!

Yet, such a disgraceful thing happened today!

At this moment, Dave flew into a rage, picked up a teacup, and smashed it onto the ground.

Dave’s eyes were full of a murderous gaze as he glowered at Tyler and hollered, “Rosie must have done this to save your lowly life! You snatched Jordan’s wife, and he wanted to exact revenge on you. That’s why Rosie did what she had done!”

Clearly, Dave still loved and cared about his younger sister. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so furious.

Tyler was frightened and explained, “No! Jordan deliberately did it. He said that he likes sleeping with women of the Huxley family!”

“What did you say!?!”

“Bullshit!”

Shane and Cayden were all enraged, and they stomped towards Tyler in unison, feeling a strong urge to kill him.

His words had indeed angered all the Huxleys!

It was a considerable provocation!

An ultimate provocation!

Tyler raised his right hand and exclaimed, “I swear Jordan said it to me!”

Shane was infuriated. “Grandpa, Dad, Jordan is a tycoon from Orlando, so he thinks he can be arrogant and disregard everyone else. We have to teach him a lesson!”

Cayden barked with anger written all over his face, “Kill that scoundrel!”

However, Arthur remained conscientious. “We’d better get to the bottom of the truth before deciding what to do. Take this bastard away first! Don’t let him in again!”

“Yes!”

Cayden dragged Tyler out and followed him all the way to the elevator downstairs.

Tyler was exasperated about the fact that they had refused to help him. “I don’t need you to follow me. I can leave on my own! I won’t come to you for help again in the future. You’re just a bunch of cowards who don’t even dare to deal with Jordan Steele!”

To his surprise, Cayden suddenly handed Tyler a cigarette and said with a playful smile, “I heard that Hailey Camden is known as the most beautiful girl in Orlando, huh?”

Chapter 97: Tyler Has The Voice Recording!

 

Tyler was stunned when he saw Cayden handing him a cigarette.

 

Cayden had always despised Tyler. When Tyler gave him cigarettes in the past, he would often refuse.

 

‘Why did Cayden take the initiative to give me a cigarette today?’

 

‘Has that playboy Cayden taken a liking to Hailey too?’

 

Tyler took the cigarette and chuckled. “Hailey is not only the most beautiful girl in Orlando, I personally think she’s the most gorgeous girl in the country! I’ve met countless women, but I’ve never seen a woman more beautiful than Hailey!”

 

“I’m not boasting, but none of the women here in New York can measure up to her!”

 

Cayden’s smile gradually became more and more lewd and perverted. “Come on, let’s go chat in my villa.”

 

Cayden took Tyler to his villa in his Mercedes G Wagon.

 

The villa he lived in was designed by an internationally renowned architect, while the interior was designed by a famous foreign interior designer. The decor of the two-story villa was in a luxurious, continental style. There was also a basement and a sunken private courtyard.

 

Tyler was a wealthy scion, after all. Upon arriving at Cayden’s villa, he didn’t gawk around and marvel in awe like a hillbilly would and instead just praised casually, “Your home is well decorated.”

 

When he reached the couch, Tyler suddenly saw an album of wedding photos on the seat and picked it up to take a look, only to be surprised. “Aren’t these the wedding photos of Hailey and me?”

 

The Huxleys had naturally been invited to Tyler and Hailey’s wedding. Tyler even delivered a copy of their wedding photos along with the invitation card to the Huxleys.

 

His purpose then was just to show off that he married a beautiful wife.

 

To his surprise, none of the Huxleys attended the wedding, nor did they send any gifts.

 

Tyler knew that the Huxleys didn’t want to be in touch with the Collins, so he thought that the wedding photos he had sent to them had been thrown into the garbage can long ago!

 

He didn’t expect Cayden to have brought it home with him and even kept it!

 

After flipping through the photos and seeing how beautiful Hailey was, Tyler couldn’t help but sigh.

 

‘What a beautiful woman!’

 

Unfortunately, Tyler’s family was about to go bankrupt, so a beautiful woman like her would no longer belong to him!

 

Tyler knew that Cayden must have kept the wedding photos because he had taken a fancy to Hailey. Hence, he asked, “How is it, buddy? My ex-wife is beautiful, isn’t she?”

 

Cayden ordered his servant to pour them two glasses of wine. When the wine was served, he picked up a drink for himself and laughed. “I didn’t expect that there would be such a stunning woman like her in Orlando.”

 

The women who could be described as ‘stunning’ by Cayden were few and far between in this world.

 

The Huxleys were worth billions of dollars, while Cayden was tall and handsome. He had never failed to win the heart of any woman he courted!

 

Tyler heard that Cayden had slept with many famous actresses and models!

 

Cayden pointed at the wedding photos Tyler was holding, saying, “Tyler, I looked at your wedding photos repeatedly, but I realized that you guys were never kissing in any of them. Did the stunning beauty refuse to let you kiss her?”

 

Clearly, Cayden was already smitten with Hailey!

 

Tyler said in disdain, “How is that possible? I had already slept with her a long time ago! We didn’t take any kissing photos because we shared a kiss in the car two days before the wedding shoot, and I got an allergic reaction after that!”

 

“At that time, the businesses I had invested in were losing money, and I wasn’t in the mood to check if I had an allergic reaction to her lipstick. So, we didn’t have a kissing shot during the shoot that day.”

 

Cayden nodded and said, “So that’s what happened. I thought you hadn’t kissed her. However, you should be bragging when you said you slept together, right? My friends in Orlando have heard that even your parents have clarified that you and Hailey hadn’t done the deed.”

 

“I heard that Jordan and Hailey are remarried now and are still very much in love with each other. If you’ve really slept with his wife, how can he continue being married to her?”

 

Tyler laughed without saying anything. Instead, he took out a BMW car key and swung it in front of Cayden smugly.

 

Cayden asked in confusion, “Why? Do you think I can’t afford a BMW 7 Series?”

 

Tyler laughed and said, “You treat your Mercedes-Benz G Wagon like a toy car. How would I dare to show off my BMW 7 series in front of you?”

 

“Buddy, this looks like a car key, but it’s actually a secret voice recorder!”

 

“Voice recorder?” Cayden asked in astonishment.

 

Tyler said with a wicked smile, “I secretly recorded the entire process when I slept with Hailey in the hotel the other day. How’s it? Do you want to hear it?”

 

Cayden was highly excited. Although there was no visual image, he still wanted to hear Hailey’s voice!

 

Cayden reached out to grab it.

 

Tyler immediately retracted his hand and said, “If you agree to take revenge for me and make Jordan Steele end up penniless, I’ll give this to you and help you get Hailey too. How does that sound?”

 

Cayden couldn’t help but take another look at the wedding photo, and more specifically, at Hailey’s enchanting smile.

 

He had planned to teach Jordan a lesson in the first place because Rosie was friendly to him.

 

Now that Hailey had become the prize, Cayden had no reason to refuse.

 

“Sure, since Grandpa can’t be bothered to deal with Jordan Steele, I shall educate that good-for-nothing!”

 

After saying that, he snatched the voice recorder that was disguised as a BMW car key.

Chapter 98: Hailey Wants Some Shares!

 

Orlando.

 

It was almost midnight when Jordan returned to Rose Garden Villa.

 

At this time, Hailey’s former college classmates had all left.

 

To Jordan’s surprise, Hailey’s parents came over after her classmates left to help clean up.

 

Jordan entered and said to them, “You don’t actually have to clean up. I have a helper.”

 

Sylvie hurried over and poured Jordan a glass of water.

 

She then said, “My dear son-in-law, you must be tired after such a long day of work. Sit down and have some water.”

 

Afterward, she pointed at the mess in the hall and said, “Those servants won’t know how to pack up at all. There are so many expensive ornaments here. What if they accidentally get damaged? Benedict and I don’t have much to do anyway. We’ll just treat it as a workout.”

 

Benedict chimed in with a deferential smile, “Yes, we’ll treat it as a workout. It’s not tiring at all.”

 

Jordan shook his head helplessly. Benedict and Sylvie had never “worked out” by doing household chores in the past three years.

 

Jordan didn’t say anything else and instead walked further in. Hailey hugged him.

 

“Hubby, you’re home. I missed you so much.”

 

They had only been apart for three hours, but Hailey was already acting all coquettish as she leaped into his embrace.

 

For a couple that was deeply in love with each other, one minute of being away from each other would feel like an eternity.

 

Jordan and Hailey had never been so affectionate with each other in the past.

 

Although they did have feelings for each other in the past, Hailey would never express her feelings for Jordan because she despised his identity.

 

Things are different now. Jordan had become the president of Ace Corporation. In contrast, Hailey had become a meek, dainty woman who was so vulnerable and helpless that she couldn’t unscrew a bottle cap on her own.

 

Jordan was elated too. He caressed Hailey’s hair and said, “I’m sorry, I was tied up with work at the office, so I couldn’t accompany you to entertain your former classmates.”

 

Hailey smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m actually not that close to my former college classmates. You don’t have to care about them. The only friend of mine you should take seriously is Rachel!”

 

Jordan frowned at the mention of Rachel.

 

Jordan used to be a live-in husband who had a low status in the family, so he didn’t dare to badmouth Hailey’s best friend.

 

However, things were different now because Hailey was very obedient towards him.

 

Hence, Jordan spoke his mind. “Hailey, I know that you and Rachel have been best friends for more than a decade and are very close to each other. However, I still hope that you’ll keep a distance from her.”

 

“Huh? Why?” Hailey was surprised.

 

Jordan said, “Rachel is already married, but her husband is often away on business trips, so she takes advantage of that to date other men. I don’t want her to lead you astray.”

 

Hailey said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t be like her. My husband is so handsome and rich, I won’t bother looking at other men!”

 

Jordan smiled helplessly. He knew that Hailey was not obsessed with younger hunks like Rachel was.

 

Compared to appearance, wealth and status mattered more to Hailey.

 

In terms of wealth and status, no one of the same age group as Jordan could pose a threat to him.

 

“Hailey, Jordan.”

 

Sylvie suddenly walked over again and handed them a box of folic acid tablets.

 

“What is this?” Jordan asked with puzzlement.

 

Sylvie smiled and said, “Jordan, these are folic acid tablets. Aren’t you and Hailey trying for a baby now? Folic acid tablets can prevent congenital neurological disorders in newborns!”

 

Jordan felt a little awkward. ‘This mother-in-law of mine has been rather thoughtful in all aspects lately.’

 

Sylvie would whip up nutritious meals for them every day for the sake of helping them increase the chances of conception.

 

 

The following day, Sylvie came over early in the morning to make breakfast for Jordan and Hailey.

 

Breakfast was even more sumptuous than lunch, and Sylvie even personally served Jordan his food.

 

“Be careful. It’s hot, my dear son-in-law.”

 

Jordan said, “Mom, you can just call me Jordan.”

 

“Alright, Jordan,” Sylvie said, grinning widely from ear to ear.

 

Benedict no longer stood on ceremony either. “Jordan, Grandma has appointed Hailey as the director of the Hailey Residences project and me as the deputy director. So, we’ll both be seeing you at your office very often.”

 

Jordan had also heard about it. As Hailey had already reconciled with him, her status in the family far exceeded that of Herman and his children.. Now, Herman was no longer valued.

 

Jordan said, “No problem, you can come over anytime. If you have any problems, you can approach Victoria or me directly.”

 

Hearing Jordan calling Victoria by her first name and omitting her last name, Hailey felt extremely jealous. She immediately put her cutlery down and pouted.

 

She said furiously, “Hubby, I don’t like Victoria Clarke, she’s a brazen hussy, and I’m scared that she might seduce you. Can you dismiss her?”

 

Jordan knew that Hailey and Victoria had had several conflicts before.

 

He said, “Honey, Victoria is just a pretty woman who’s exceptionally competent at work. She knows more people than I do in Orlando. If I dismiss her, the company will incur major losses.”

 

Hailey was rather displeased. “Can you give me some shares as well? I also want to be the vice president of Ace Corporation!”

 

Jordan did not answer immediately.

 

Hailey immediately said, “Hmph, you don’t love me at all. I’m your lawfully wedded wife, and I’m going to be the mother of your children. Yet, I don’t get a single cent of your money, and you’re not willing to give me a tiny amount of shares either.”

 

Hailey was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

 

Jordan contemplated it carefully and thought that a tiny portion of shares in the company wouldn’t amount to much. She would just be a deputy president in title anyway.

 

Hailey was preparing to conceive soon, and once she got pregnant, she would have to stay at home to nurse her pregnancy and wouldn’t have the time to go to the office. Hence, he thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to give in to her.

 

Hence, Jordan compromised, “Alright, I’ll give you a portion of shares.”

 

Hailey immediately beamed with joy. “I want a larger portion than Victoria Clarke. Just 0.01% more than her, hehe!”

 

After breakfast, Benedict personally drove Jordan and Hailey to the Ace Corporation.

 

Tension built up as soon as Hailey and Victoria met!

Chapter 99: Was There Really Nothing Between You And Tyler?

 

Ace Corporation.

 

Hailey and Victoria were both dressed in maroon suits, adopting the sartorial style of a domineering, career woman.

 

It was a feast for the eyes of the men in the office.

 

All of a sudden, they couldn’t tell who was more beautiful.

 

In terms of looks, Hailey was definitely much prettier than Victoria. Still, Victoria was more outstanding of a career woman than Hailey.

 

“The president’s wife is so beautiful!”

 

“The president’s wife is gorgeous!”

 

The staff of the company, including Victoria’s secretary, Ashley, kept sucking up to Hailey.

 

Hailey was overjoyed too, because it was the moment that she had always dreamed of!

 

She was now the boss’s wife who was admired, respected, and envied by everyone!

 

That was the life that she had always dreamed of leading!

 

Soon, Jordan held a board meeting.

 

At the meeting, Jordan announced that he would transfer 5% of his shares to Hailey. He appointed her as the co-deputy president of the company.

 

With her current position and shares, Hailey could now be on equal footing with Victoria.

 

Since Jordan was busy and had lots to handle, he didn’t have the time to accompany Hailey.

 

However, Hailey behaved herself and said that she wouldn’t disturb Jordan and ask Victoria for help if she needed to.

 

Hailey took the initiative to come to Victoria’s office. Victoria followed behind her and then closed the door after they entered.

 

Victoria said, “Congratulations, Miss Camden. I didn’t think you could save your dying marriage and reverse what had happened, even though you had hit rock bottom.”

 

In Victoria’s opinion, Hailey and Jordan’s marriage should have been impossible to salvage!

 

Hailey’s cheating on him was intolerable and unforgivable.

 

Not only had she been unfaithful, but she was also even unrepentant and continued to insult Jordan harshly.

 

Victoria thought that it was impossible for them to get back together.

 

Yet, Hailey was now still married to Jordan and even became the deputy president of Ace Corporation!

 

Hailey smiled and sat down on Victoria’s chair in her office without restraint.

 

“Everyone said that you’re the most beautiful and competent woman in the business world of Orlando, who can easily subdue even the most domineering and overbearing company president.” she said, crossing her legs.

 

“Even my grandmother praises you all the time and always tells me to learn from you!”

 

“Now, you know who is the more competent one between us, right?”

 

Hailey was here this time to show off!

 

She knew that Victoria also fancied Jordan, but Victoria had never been able to win Jordan’s heart even when she and Jordan were separated.

 

That proved that Hailey was much more attractive than Victoria!

 

Victoria was full of indignation as she couldn’t stomach the fact that she had lost to a young woman who was also her arch-enemy!

 

Victoria would concede defeat if Hailey was as good as her at coaxing men and knew not to touch their bottom line.

 

However, the fact that Hailey had succeeded in getting Jordan back despite having hurt him repeatedly made her feel infuriated and disgruntled!

 

“If your grandfather hadn’t foreseen that you would divorce such a gem as Jordan and plant his people in the lawyer’s and city clerk’s offices, you wouldn’t be here today,” Victoria said.

 

“Hailey Camden, don’t be too complacent just yet. You may still be married to Jordan, but you still won’t get any of the Steeles’ assets. You can be smug and come show off to me again when you become an official inheritor of the Steeles!”

 

Hailey also stood up furiously and said, “I’m going to get pregnant with Jordan’s child soon. It’s only a matter of time before the Steeles acknowledge me!”

 

Victoria was filled with jealousy and bafflement. She couldn’t figure out why Jordan would want to let such a shameless woman mother his children!

 

“Did you… really not sleep with Tyler Collins?” Victoria asked curiously.

Chapter 100: Hailey Is Pregnant!

Victoria was a woman too. She knew that since Hailey had agreed to check into a hotel with him, it was impossible for them to have not done anything intimate.

 

Victoria was apprehensive about the rumors that were being spread around now.

 

Hailey, who had a guilty conscience, said diffidently, “Of… of course!”

 

Victoria said with disdain, “It better be the case. If Jordan finds out that you’ve lied to him, you will not only lose him again, even Hailey Residences, the real estate project that’s named after you, will be scrapped!”

 

“You…”

 

Hailey was livid, but her guilty conscience deprived her of the guts to retort loudly.

 

Hailey panted heavily in exasperation and pointed at Victoria. “Victoria Clarke! You’d better not provoke me! Don’t forget, you still owe me a slap!”

 

Hailey was a very vindictive person. After Victoria slapped her in the underground parking lot the other day, she cried for a long time.

 

Victoria sneered and said, “You should thank me for slapping you at that time. Think about how offensive your words were!”

 

“You said that you didn’t discipline Jordan well in the past three years even though you’ve been making him kneel down to wash your feet every single day. If I hadn’t slapped you then, God knows what nastier things you would have said!”

 

Victoria genuinely meant what she said.

 

Although Jordan and Hailey were now in a seemingly loving marriage, it didn’t mean that those things in the past had never happened.

 

Perhaps, Jordan might recall them when they get into arguments in the future.

 

Hailey didn’t say anything else because she realized that she couldn’t outargue Victoria!

 

Hence, Hailey walked out of the office, and before she left, she said, “I like this office very much. Please move somewhere else, Miss Clarke!”

 

“You…”

 

Victoria was furious. She cursed in her head, ‘A vile wench like you will never be able to conceive Jordan’s child!’

 

 

Fifteen days later, in Rose Garden Villa.

 

It was past nine in the morning, and Hailey finally woke up slowly.

 

Hailey had been waking up after 9 am the past few days, perhaps because she was exhausted from trying to get pregnant or because she didn’t want to go to work anymore since she was now married to the president of Ace Corporation. Hence, she slept in and woke up whenever she wished to.

 

Hailey then used yet another pregnancy test kit, a routine she had gotten used to.

 

Hailey suddenly exclaimed in joy.

 

“Ah! Mom! I’m pregnant!”

 

Hailey ran downstairs excitedly, knowing that her mother would come over every morning to prepare breakfast for her and Jordan.

 

“What’s wrong, my dear daughter? What happened?”

 

Hearing Hailey’s exclamation, Sylvie was quite worried at first.

 

Hailey showed the test kit to Sylvie. “There are two lines. Doesn’t that mean that I’m pregnant?”

 

Sylvie, who had been in her position before, was pleasantly surprised. “Yes, yes, yes, it’s positive. Hailey, you’re finally pregnant with Jordan’s child!”

 

Hailey hugged Sylvie in exhilaration and exclaimed, “Haha, once I give birth to the baby, Jordan’s grandfather will definitely approve of me!”

 

Sylvie chuckled and said, “That’s for sure! Who knows? The Steeles’ assets might all end up belonging to my grandchild! Hailey, call Jordan right now but don’t tell him you’re pregnant yet. Ask him to meet us at your grandmother’s place for dinner tonight. We’ll break the news to him during dinner.”

 

“Okay!” Hailey immediately dialed Jordan’s phone number.

 

However, Jordan was in a conference at the office, so he didn’t pick up.

 

Hailey had long expected that, so she decided to text him. “Hubby, come over to Grandma’s for dinner tonight! I have a surprise for you!”

 

Afterward, Hailey called Rachel to inform her of the good news.

 

“Hello, Rachel, where are you?”
